   This should probably be filed under the Complaints Desk thread, but it   
   seemed so important that,  what with all the political protesting going   
   on and everything. Anyway, this just in from the Next Door app:   
      
   "Has anyone else had any problems with the new clerk at Safeway?   
      
   She works the self check isle. From day one (and I don’t know why) she   
   has harassed me every time I go in the store.   
      
   And I usually go every day.   
      
   The first time she asked ”Are u sure u rang all that up?” meaning   
   everything in my cart.   
      
   The next time I was putting my groceries in my car and I hear “ Did you   
   pay for your soda” I replied yes do u want to see my receipt. She just   
   said “No that’s ok”.   
      
   Then I went yesterday and I wasn’t even finished scanning my groceries   
   and she asked me “ Mam did you ring up the water on the bottom of your   
   cart”.   
      
   I replied no but I’m not finished. I still had several items to ring up.   
     I called her out on the harassment and she replied “Mam I’m just doing   
   my job “.   
      
   I don’t hear her doing her job to any one else. Sorry to bog you down   
   with my problem but I was just wondering if I needed to contact   
   corporate." - Tina, Mendocino Ave area
