To make a long story short I drive to my local K-mart to buy Elite Christian. As I proceed to checkout the girl at the cash register who is around my age (20ish) looks at my purchase as she rings it up and in jerk fashion asked "You still play with toys?" When she said that my heart almost sank. There were two other people behind me and started laughing after she said that. I got so embarassed I started to sweat like a pig. I kindly ignored her remark and paid for my item and left. I've never been so humiliated at a retail store and I work in retail. I don't go up to customers and make remarks when they buy rat traps or mr. plumber(btw I work at Lowe's). Anyone else receive rude service when buying figures?

"at least i dont work here" ZING and leave. but dont forget to do a cartwheel!

Tell her managers. There's no reason you should feel like that as a customer. She was obviously trying to embarrass you. It's none of her business what you do.

That definitely would've gotten her into trouble had you talked to a manager about it.

I would have replied, "Yes I do, and judging by how you look you probably use toys too cause I doubt anyone would play with you..." "Except maybe this guy < point to the guy laughing behind you> ... nah... he's laughing at you too!" Good times.

I had this rather large Wal-Mart employee pull the same sh*t on me.
I was trying to checkout with an Adrenaline two-pack, and she stared at it for like 10 seconds before blurting out, "Aren't these for little boys, why are you buying them."
My reply was, "It's one of the many luxurious I can enjoy since I'm not forced to live off a Wal-Mart salary."

I had to return an Elite 4 Kofi the other day to Walmart. When you walk in the person at the door has to write down what you are bringing in. So the guy looked at it and he was like "what's wrong don't want to play with it no more?". I just laughed and didn't take what he said as being really serious.
You shouldn't get embarrassed it's a hobby. I've had retail cashiers make comments once in a while. I just say that I collect them and their opinion usually changes quick to a reply like "oh that's cool".

Sucks though because K-Mart is the closest store for me to buy figs but now I'm going to be afraid because she might be there.

You should have said: you sound jealous of the toy. Why? You want to be played by me?

That never happens to me. The people are always so nice, plus they wouldn`t say that because someone would always be with me when I buy the figure. If someone did say something like that do me, I`d pop a glock in their mouth and make a brain slushie.

Next time you go and she`s there, go up to her checkout, buy it, and if she makes another remark, ask if you can see the manager for a moment, then tell the manager what she said.

This thread is great lol. Honestly, I would call that K-Mart & talk to a manager, say you were embarrassed by one of their cashiers. Explain the situation & use your receipt when you call, as there might be an associate ID number on it to go by.

What an idiot she was, Should have told her it's none of her business,
I was at a checkout with a mattel figure around a month ago and the woman looked at it and said 'well... what does it do??' I said I collect them and keep them on display etc and she just gave me a funny look, Trouble is I collect most of them MOC and I was lucky enough to find this figure MOC... The woman couldn't get it to scan so she called for assistance... while we were waiting she was playing with the top of the card moving it backward and forward which was leaving creases in it. i knew I had to say something - I said to her 'look don't bother, I don't want it now cos you've just bent the card so it's not worth having' she just looked at me and rolled her eyes so I called her a rude bitch and walked away. What is it with these people??

That's really rude of the cashier but i can kinda understand why she would make such a stupid remark cos she's bored with how mundane her job is!
