(5,611 posts)and there will be one very overworked cashier still working a long line and one person to help all of the people screwing up the automated checkouts. I never go to Walmart but they are one of the very few that still use three or four cashiers, and we dont live in a rural area we live near a big city.
Your interpretation makes zero sense to me. I dont think for a second that cashiers at a store are singling you out for some sort of hostile treatment by uttering a common holiday phrase (how the hell would they have any idea what beliefs you do/dont hold?)
If anything theyve been told by their employer that they MUST say it to every customer. That would explain the glum looks. Its hardly a phrase so controversial that only Trump supporters say it.
