I’m surprised no one laughed. I sure would have if it wasn’t happening to me. I literally left a big gaping hole in between where I scan the items and the belt. It was a a really dumb move on mine in retrospect. The silver thing the groceries slide down on onto the belt isn’t secure at this particular cash (cash 6) and I tried to move it more into place while a bunch of groceries were on it, resulting in the entire thing falling down, with the groceries as well. They were all fine except for the lady’s sour cream.
“I’m going to get another one”.
No shit. Like I’m going to make her take the one that fell on the ground and split open at the top. I start to gather up all the items and then lift the big silver thing back in place, trying to pretend that this is all normal and nothing is amiss, all while everyone watches me. I feel like a large part of this job is pretending things are normal when they’re not. It’s kind of the only option you have sometimes.
