Unethical cashier behaviour
*SOLVED
1
Hello, Date of incidence: 25-April-2021 On the above mentioned date a packet of tampons were included among the goods me and my mother was about to check out from the cashier, and after entering the product to the bill, the female cashier proceeded to ask me if I saw the price of the product (which was Rs. 500), and urged my mother who was going to pay for the goods that day not to let me buy the product, a 21 year old full fledged member of the society, because of reasons "she cannot talk about". Being the conventional person she is, my mother was utterly embarrassed by the incident and asked her to remove the item from the bill, which she did. I am assuming the reason that female cashier was concerned about the product was the infamous 'Toxic Shock Syndrome' that can be caused by "improper" use of tampons. While I understand where this cashier's concerns come from, she not only unsolicitedly opiniated the customer's choice of goods, but judged them of being incapable of making healthy choices when selecting products. I too am at fault in this case as it is my mother who bear conventional ideology and proceeded to agree with the employee. As highly educated junior personnel working in the financial services industry, I am damn well aware of how to use a tampon properly and I find the cashier's behaviour unreservedly disrespectful, and I hope you take necessary actions to ensure nothing of this sort incur in one of your business premises ever again. Thank you for taking your time to read my complaint.
