Bed Bath Bull

The employees of Bed Bath & Beyond are told to say hello to every customer they encounter. I recently spent 30 minutes in the store and was greeted over 2 dozen times. I'm a pretty friendly fella, but it takes alot for me to greet and acknowledge 27 people I don't know. Unless I'm at a party in a loft in Soho.

When I checked out, the employee handed me my change without looking at me or saying thank you.

I said, "Thank you ..."

Silence.

"Thank youuu ... ?"

She glanced in my direction, "You're welcome."

I paused. I thought about all those friendly greetings I got minutes before by her co-workers. 

I said, "No. You see, you say 'thank you" to me. Me. The one who gave you my money."

Silence.

I suppose the floor employees are jealous that the cashiers can be so cold.
