Maybe I'm lucky, I do shop early so it might be that the day is just
starting for everyone, but I can't remember the last time I had a
rude/surly/huffy cashier. They all are quite pleasant in that regard, though
I have seen some impatient customers that treat the cashiers rudely. I give
big kudos to anyone who can deal with the public on a daily basis and still
smile.
