Okay, so I FINALLY had to make a YouTube account just so I could comment, after over a year of laughing at your videos. I work at el Safeway as a head clerk, so I feel your pain! Just wanted to say you're hilarious. Keep 'em coming!

[IAmTheKnight]

thank you! hehe

I will try... to keep them coming, I mean..

You ever work nights (like middle of)

Yeah, I work Slaveway night crew, and yep, I'm the checker.

We don't man the checkstand, we put a bell and light on.

I love when they ring the bell, then come and find me to complain that nobody was at the checkstand. Or when they ring the bell and wait for me (to sign on) before putting any groceries on the belt ?!? Oh, the fun I have.

I had a temp. checker one night (she was a normal day checker but we were short handed) I loved her. Customer comes up to her and asks if somebody is checking, she'd point to the bell and instruct them to ring it. She sit and wait until they did, plead with them if needed. Once they rang that bell, "I'm coming"

The looks on customers faces were priceless.

You had to see it.....

my favorite is pointing out the obvious and rewording the same thing like 3 times.

Like, "have you activated this card?"

no maam that will happen automatically as soon as the transaction is closed..

"ok... so is it activated now?"

usually transactions aren't closed until you sign and I give you your receipt at which point I will also give you the conformation that the card has been activated.

"so this is activated now?"

Yes the receipt is in your hand the transaction is closed and so, ACTIVATED!

[IAmTheKnight]

lol...

I wonder if the customer will ever realize how unproductive they are just waiting there for us to do everything...

if you're really in a hurry and wanna get out fast then MOVE YOUR ASS!

don't just stand there looking at us like deer in head lights you moron put your shit on the checkstand and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE your cart to the courtesy clerk so he can get you OUT!

[Minan3]

you know, I sometimes get questions as to where some certain item is and it turns out that the customer is like near it or like one aisle off XD

[CatchTheCaracal]

It's a ridiculous place to work. Your videos help me to loosen up. It's good to know I'm not the only one in the company with a useful brain. :p

[Dreaxel]

Man Im a supervisor at a vons and this is just... perfect!! Im going to have some of my coworkers check it out!! haha

How about the ones taht have a bunch of stuff you bag their stuff have a long line no bagger and once youre all done theyre like oh i want paper in plastic!

[eddiel2003]

i worked at slaveway once. i resigned

[xrainandwhispersx]

I work for Safeway too FML

Awesome, awesome, awesome. A manager turned me on to the videos. Probably even more cathartic making them than it is watching them...

I especially enjoy:

- People who refuse to acknowledge me, the living human being in front of them who just said "hello," because they're on their cell. ("I'm just in the checkout line right now. Yeah, I'm trying to pay. K, now it wants my card again. Uckgh! I just slid it!")

- The woman who calls me "boy." ("Double plastic, boy.")

Keep it up!

[chelsachick]

My favorite is when they load all their shit up on the checkstand and are getting ready to take their bags but then they push the cart out in the middle of the lobby or leave it in the way of other customers. Ya know, cause the cart return totally isn't gonna be on their way out, and putting it back would just be a CRAZY idea....

Dear IAmTheKnight, you are amazingly funny, actually much better than Dane Cook.
