Who Hires These People?

I ran to Food-4-Less this afternoon to pick up a few groceries. It's always a hassle to go there but the prices are pretty good. I usually get a grumpy check-out clerk that always seems to wish they were somewhere else and doesn't talk to me. Well today I got into line and found the cashier to be very friendly! She was young and smiled a lot. Within 45 seconds I new that she had a boyfriend with a son and a sister that she always has to discipline. Anyway, I ran my debit card and went to the end of the conveyer belt to start bagging my groceries while she continued to ring me up. She stopped and held up my bag of apricots and asked me what they were! I looked at her for a second and then told her that they were apricots. She then began to rant about how every time she asks a customer what an item is, they always look at her with a wierd look on their faces and never answer her. She thinks that customers are so dumb because they don't even know what they're buying!! As humorous as this all was, she then told me my total and I okayed it so she put the transaction through. While my card was processing, she starts saying (in front of everyone), "Okay, let's see if it clears- yep, it looks like it's gonna go through- Yep, it cleared, you're good to go!" I was so embarassed! I started wondering, do I look like the kind of person who might not be able to pay? Or, does it happen so often in that store that people can't pay? Or, is she completely devoid of any tact? .....Maybe she's ticky-tacky!
