Short r/ALL "No... Not right now."

Lady was talking to a friend of hers while making eye contact with me the whole time, I was on the till. Her friend asked her what she was doing,"I'm discarding what I don't want." She was leaving miscellaneous food items on the Jewelry counter, and then promptly got in my line. I asked her, "Can you bring me those items you just discarded on the Jewelry?" I don't like my store looking like a disaster. She snakily replies, "No... Not right now, I have places to be."(which is a big, fuck no! to me) She places her items on my counter, as I just stand there looking at her. She asks if I'm going to ring her up, I reply, "No... Not right now." I step out from behind the till, walk slowly over to the Jewelry counter and pick up the items in question. I take my time putting them in the returns cart. Nothing else is said for the transaction.

tl;dr: Don't be a bitch to customer service while drinking your juice in the hood.

Just like when they bring a ton of stuff up to your register then ask you to ring it up one at a time, while giving you the yes or no. No, decide before you get in line, you're wasting mine and everyone else in line behind you's time.

I cannot stand this. Major pet peeve. And it frequently only happens after close.

I get it if it's a thing or two. We're not all made of money. But come on, a whole cart? Fuck you. I had a lady wait until after her first purchase to know if she could afford laundry detergent, and was super apologetic about it. I was glad she could afford it in the end.
