Does anyone else feel like supermarket employees are on a bit of a power trip?
The patrolling of the self serve thing really gives me metro ticket inspector vibes. I'm constantly having them look over my shoulder as though I'm going to steal.
Admittedly I live in a shitty area and am a minority so maybe I get singled out but it really gets on my nerves.
I make enough that I don't need to steal food. Fuck right off.
Sorry it's been bugging me for a while now.
/Rant
I feel like the new cameras are bad enough. I was putting something down and it slipped right off onto the floor I picked it up and put it back on and I had to get the attendant. It replayed the footage from an overhead view. It was so creepy and made me feel like a criminal.
