Being a cashier means you deal with all sorts of people daily, including the selfish, self-entitled ones, like this one rich woman. After seeing her mistreating her maid in the store, I put aside my fears and stood up for a fellow working-class woman!
I’ve been a cashier at a supermarket for over eight years. It’s not glamorous, but it pays the rent and gives me a strange front-row seat to human behavior. After a while, you start to memorize the quirks and patterns of your regulars. But some people don’t just blend into the crowd; they leave an imprint.
One such person was Veronica.
Every Sunday, without fail, this rich woman would sweep into the store like she owned it! She wore oversized sunglasses and heels too loud for a grocery aisle. Always decked out in designer, always dragging behind her a frail woman who clearly wasn’t there by choice.
The maid’s name was Alma. I only found that out much later.
Veronica was in her early forties, the same age as Alma, though she acted like someone much younger, constantly tapping on her phone and talking to it like it owed her money. Alma, by contrast, was quiet, slight, and spoke in broken and halting English that gave away her origin.
It was clear that she came from a poorer background compared to her flamboyant boss.
At first, I thought it might be a language barrier, but over time, I learned that Veronica only hired people who didn’t speak much English so she could say whatever she wanted in front of them without consequences. She was strategic that way.
And cruel.
