Oh stores do this all the time. Another thing they'll do is put stuff on the special displays at the end of each aisle, called End Caps. People automatically assume these items are on sale because they're highlighted.

If an item is on sale it is required to list what the regular price is and how much it is marked down. And "rollback" or "reduction" is not the same thing. Also something being on Clearance does not automatically mean it's being sold cheaper.

Cheaper items will usually be higher up, above the eye level of both children and adults

Because they're not getting what they want. And they think that by acting like a cunt, they'll get their own way. I had a guy come in with a half-full chocolate milk and asked if he could return it "because when he got it it was already opened". It was pretty obvious he drank it and is now trying to get money off me. I told him "I'm not gonna return it because how do I know you've just drank half of it and are coming in trying to claim a refund". And he just went fucking off, made a huge fucking scene in front of me and the customers, the store manager spoke to him and she ripped him a new asshole.

But yeah, if they're not getting what they want, they'll resort to making a scene, but all it does is just make customers angry at them.

I did shit like that all the time when I worked retail. On purpose, of course. Being cashier is so terrible that it got me through, like, an hour if I said "have a good day" and a customer stumbled over his words to correct himself and say "you too."

This isn't unique to grocery stores but cashiers in general although it seems more prevalent in grocery stores. They hand you your receipt and change all together. Like, niggah, I've got to fumble around separating the money and receipt to store them.

Secondly, instead of saying, "thank you," they say, "there you go." Wtf is that? I'd prefer they didn't say anything, but "there you go" seems rude af to me but it's becime the standard.

Fucking Florida man. Old people are a cancer on society. Terrible drivers that can't go the speed limit or even stay in their own lane in a parking lot. They try to nickel and dime you or bitch about how things aren't exactly the same like whatever shithole state they came from. They're slow as fuck walking around and paying, and in general a waste of space. I don't think some of them are even aware of their own existence anymore, they've just been doing the same stupid shit for decades and go through the motions even when they haven't had a single unique thought for years.
Also I don't care how old you are if you have to use a fucking scooter to navigate around a grocery store you probably shouldn't have been allowed to drive there in the first place let alone the seasonal migration across the country you made ruining the day of every single person you held up on the highway for those 500 miles.
