[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at a supermarket (TJ) and [b]I had the rudest person at the checkout line. [/b] And I don't just mean "unfriendly" or "bad manners" or "bad customer service" -[b] I mean, the guy was staring and every single one of his words were dripping with pure hate.
[/b]
I came up to the line, and right off the bat -[b] he just stared at me with a death face, and said in a mocking voice "And how is your day, just absolutely wonderful I hope."  It wasn't what he said, it was the way he said it, dripping with sarcasm. [/b] I ignored the attitude, and just said "Good thanks."  [b]Then he said, "Great.  Oh I'm having a wonderful day, thank you SO much for asking."  Again, said with scathing sarcasm and a death stare that creeped me the f*ck out.  Then he proceeded to bag my groceries in complete, uncomfortable silence.  
[/b]
In the meantime, I'm running through my head of what I might have done to offend this guy.  Was I in the express line? Was his lane closed? No. No. [b]Maybe I'm just imagining his abhorrent attitude? [/b]

And then I paid, and [b]when I went to leave, he says with the same evil death stare, and "Well this has been absolutely fun.  Let's do it again sometime, shall we? (pause)  Say goodbye now (said in a long drawn out way, like you would to a slow person)"  At which, I was just stunned. I wish I could put his expression into words, my description just does not do it justice.  Dripping with hate and sarcasm.[/b] I ignored his attitude, and said bye and left.

[b]I think I was just in such shock and disbelief that an employee would treat me like that[/b] - I didn't even respond.  I wish I had said something, but still don't know what I should have said.

Paranoid much?  Still don't see the menace, the fear, the terror.   An evil death stare?  You sound like you are doing a review for World Wrestling Federation.  He even bagged your groceries for you. [/quote]

When someone looks at you with unmasked fury and talks to you in such a pissed off way - yeah, it makes you wonder WTH.  It is totally unnerving and I can understand why Op was so taken aback that she said NOTHING at the time but wonders about what on earth that was about.

I would first try to figure out if I did something to make the other person react like that towards me.  Maybe he was getting ready to go on break and was closing down his line when I steamrolled in.  Yeah his reaction would have been over the top.  But I could also see why he would have been aggravated by *my* behavior.  There would have been a tangible reason for his irritation.

If he just looked at me and got enraged that would be kind of scary.[/quote]
