In a recent Reddit post, an individual known as OP shared an amusing story that epitomizes the challenges faced by those mistaken for store employees. The narrative unfolds in a grocery store where OP, a POS (point-of-sale) technician responsible for servicing various businesses, encounters a persistent shopper with unwavering determination.
OP’s job entails driving around with a truck full of touch screens and receipt printers and attending to service calls at establishments without their dedicated tech teams. Due to their constant presence behind the counter, it is understandable that customers often mistake OP for staff. To avoid unnecessary interactions, OP adopts black attire, carries tools, and purposefully avoids eye contact.
During a routine service call at a bustling grocery store, the story takes an unexpected turn. With a malfunctioning serial port requiring attention, OP begins the task of disassembling the computer. Suddenly, a determined shopper arrives and starts unloading her cart onto the conveyor belt, seemingly oblivious to the “register closed” sign.
OP politely informs the shopper that the lane is closed, but she disregards the message and continues unloading. Undeterred by her persistence, OP resorts to a theatrical display of slamming the computer down, hoping to capture her attention. However, her focus remains fixed on the task at hand.
Keep on scrolling down to read the full story in OP’s own words and we will see you at the end of the article.
