***update*** Her name is indeed Maria. I was able to confirm that with a box boy. She's an evening supervisor here. That explains why she could treat me so badly without fear of consequence. Initially I stated she was below average height. I just didn't want anyone confusing Maria with Danielle based on my description. Maria is fairly tall and rather large. Intimidating. Scary even. Danielle who is much taller and also plus sized is professional and sweet. Had no problems with Marisol at self checkout the other day. That further confirms it wasn't me, it was Maria!!!!!***
I rarely have a problem with the cashiers here. Some of them I like. Frank for instance. He's robotic at times, but not in a bad way. It's simply professionalism personified. Frank is Caucasian, tall, wears glasses, 50's, well put together, and not bad looking if I may say. He's not here to chat, to befriend, he's here to do his job. If he is at the self checkout machines that's where I go. Otherwise, I hate those darn self checkout machines. They seem good in theory, but I always have a problem. If Frank is there he fixes the problem, if that skinny, younger, white male with the earlobe gauging is there he's likely going to make the problem worse, but as long as he doesn't have an attitude about it I just write it off as him being high. If not I apologize, but he always seems high. It's legal, so no judgement. Yesterday I came in and only one register is open. Jesus was the cashier and the line was long. I believe Jesus is a manager at this location. I remember him substituting all of my monopoly freebies that the store was out of earlier this year. It was last minute and they were out of everything. He substituted similar items for everything without incident. He's nice enough, but not worth waiting in line for. I headed to self checkout. For reasons unknown to me they've added shelves to these registers. Makes it hard to see. Almost discriminatory to short people like myself. As I approached I saw no cashier. Turns out she was crouched down by the register nearest the atms. I scan my items, but the register is telling me my fruit was the incorrect weight. Always something. I look up and around the shelf blockade to see the attendant is looking down at her phone. She looked up at me looking at her, then put her eyes back down to her phone. I couldn't believe it. She saw my help light flashing and could simply care less. So I wave her over and she looked at me stoned faced as she approached. This a a Hispanic woman. Taller than me, but still short. Long black hair, about 250lbs. Not to be confused with another plus sized woman here. She too is Hispanic in appearance, but the hair is lighter and the personality is brighter. Plus she stands at nearly 6 feet, maybe taller. Very sweet woman, this woman on the other hand was not. I've seen her at the store before, but this was my first encounter. She sucked her teeth when I asked why the register did this and said simply I don't know. If she doesn't know, how the hell am I supposed to know? I instantly knew I was going to complain, and thought her name would appear on the receipt, but I was wrong. It says self. I want to say her name tag said Maria, but it may have read Martha. I'm not certain. She was very rude and rude for know reason. She's younger than me. I can't imagine her looking at me in a competitive way, but then again I am naturally trim so it's a possibility. Gang? I've read several stories about gangs like ms13 infiltrating the local schools. Maybe they're infiltrating the work force too? I certainly hope it wasn't race based. I've signed many petitions to keep Hispanic children out of cages. I don't think I'm better than any other race. The same respect should be paid to me. There's definitely a reason for her attitude toward me. It was unprovoked on my end. Working in customer service without a pleasant demeanor kind of defeats the purpose of working in customer service. I work way too hard for my money to spend it at a place or with a person who treats me like trash. I will indeed be forwarding this to corporate to get their opinion, but first I have to identify this woman. Hispanic looking. Below average height, above average weight. Brunette.
