I do not like waiting in lines either. But to say an employee who serves the public should not speak to that public is pretty absurd. And yes, there are fast and slow checkers, just like there is variation in us all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] baggins@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) You know who always checks out my groceries exactly as fast as I want?
