The only good thing about this Sobeys is that it is open 24 hours. That being said, I went there at 2am on Friday night to get pizza and Gatorade.
Then I waited for 10 minutes at the only open cash. I asked the security guard what the deal was, and he replied "the checkout guy is in the bathroom". Ten minutes in the bathroom while you're the only guy working seems a bit ridiculous to me.
When the guy finally returned, of course I commented on how long myself and the others in line were waiting. He did not take kindly to this and actually grabbed my hand when returning my change and wouldn't let go. It was creepy and aggressive.
I was going to complain to Sobeys about this guy but I figure he's probably got a criminal record and this is the only job he can get, so I'd feel bad if he was fired.
Maybe they should get a self-check out like Loblaws
