Would you people stop whining about your bread being squished. A bag of chips will not crush bread, and neither will 4 loafs in a cloth bags. If your bread gets squashed, come back and exchange it.
Don’t even get me started on eggs… —Easily Angered Cashier

Show them where the self checkout is, if you work in a store with one.
Watermellons on top:)>
so…is that a wheaten terrier? hugo-don’t make me ask a third time^^^
(nasially winey voice) – Yes dear, comming dear, right away dear.
Yes she’s a Wheaten, belongs to my cousin. The other one, “Blue” is mine.
lol – didn’t realize that you’ve asked before:)
shit, i get about 15 or more loaves at the ben’s store in fairview, and have very seldom had them crushed. try standing them on end in bag next time. does wonders unless you are putting in a 2 liter of pop too. use your sense, for fuck’s sake. and yes o.p., i know you aren’t the one whining about the bread, that was a general answer to any and all.
pardon me i have an irrational love for dogs…grrooo
No such thing. RAWK
i once had a customer who, when i let a loaf of bread drop in the bag without shoving fucking cotton fluff under it, snatched the loaf up and goes, “See, it’s squished!” The loaf of bread didn’t have a dent in it…but her fucking head sure did. Unfortunately, she never seemed to notice the two front teeth she was missing…
Geez, what kind of bread are they buying that they are getting squished so easily?
Cotton candy bread. It’s all the RAGE these days.
That sounds very sticky.
haha, create a market…sounds delish^^good bread stands up for itself
People BUY bread?
It’s the fucking bakeries’ fault. They should be putting the loaves in indestructible containers. Protest these fucks immediately. They are a danger to our way of life and our right to buy unsquished bread.
actually guys, most bakeries had to cut down on cement in bread, they are only allowed to use 5 per cent now. instead of 40. hence the bread is more prone to being squashed. glad i could straighten that out for you all, tata.
Haha. It drove me insane being a cashier for four years and people freaking out about bread! It was ridiculous. Even more ridiculous how much they always expected us to put in one bag… knowing how insane certain customers were, I just got into the habit of bagging things like eggs and bread separately.
Disgruntled cashiers unite!
Recently, I tried to post here in the bitch section a few times. I do not believe that ALL of my posts were against the rules. This one will probably be deleted too and if my legitimate posts and bitches continue not to show up here I am going to contact the coast managers and/or the hr department and bitch to your bosses. Stop deleting my fucking messages or you’ll find out how nasty I can be when I contact the powers that be, Mod! I don’t really want to but I will!! Stop deleting my fucking posts or you can allez-vous faire foutre!
It’s not Mod, it’s Maude.
Whatever BT.
Maybe it is your avatar. 😀
Some cashiers are assholes and WILL bag cotton candy bread with a watermelon. I blame them for our uptightedness.
That’s not a word.
But it probably should be. 🙂
sebastian sucks dick for his bread.
Worked as a cashier through highschool, never once do I recal someone having a problem with my bagging (heh). Perhaps if the dead-eyed self-absorbed kids they have working there now paid even a little attention to the products they toss in the bags they wouldnt have this problem. Someone spending their hard-earned cash on groceries is damned right to protest their careless handling by the cashier – likely someone who’s only bill is a cell phone, and who’s groceries come from mommies fridge.
bag your own, that’s what i do…and i bake my own bread. lovin the doggie rosie, keep on trying meester^^
I wonder what would happen if a steamroller ran over a loaf of bread…..would it become a pita?
I never understood what was so bad about having bread kind of squished…you’re going to squish it with your teeth when you eat it anyway, why does it matter if it’s absolutely perfect beforehand? What are people doing with bread that they need it as full as it can be? Soaking up water or painting still-life or something? Whenever I bag my own groceries, I never waste a bag and bag it separately or anything obsessive like that.
