As a customer, have you ever have this cashier that must've been so nervous she mistakenly passes gas while ringing up your stuff? Well I did and it was rather random and nuts, I'm like, is something wrong? Well, I brought my cart over to get my items paid for and the cashier ringing me up was like half my age or so, starting college as she once mentioned, which is awesome. Any way, as I'm getting my stuff paid for, she's for some reason is shaking and sweating I'm looking at her like, 'what's gotten into her.' And I'm like, is something wrong. And I'm like, is something wrong ma'am? And she's like, no I'm okay. And then she rings up every thing and is like $16.47. And then all of a sudden I her a really loud sound in back of her like PHHhh, PHh, PHFRaaaaattttt! And I'm holding my nose like, "uhh, can I pay by card, please? Don't worry about bagging. I got it. . . " And she like, all embarrassed and what, and I just punched my pin and just ran out. Never seeing this cashier again. 🤢🤢🤢 Like, is this normal? Are younger people male or female this nervous when out in the real world? Was I too hard on her? Should I give her a chance?

This is an uncomfortable situation, but here are some things to consider:

• Passing gas, especially accidentally, is an involuntary and natural bodily function. The cashier likely had no intention of causing offense and was likely mortified.

• Nerves, stress and anxiety can often trigger digestive issues that result in passing gas. The cashier may have been especially nervous in her job, which could have caused this.

• Younger people, especially those new to the workforce, may be more prone to nerves and anxiety that cause digestive upset. This tends to get better with experience and confidence.

• Holding in gas for too long can make it come out louder and smellier, so the cashier may have tried to hold it in and then couldn't. Again, a involuntary reaction.

• Your reaction of holding your nose, rushing out and never returning may have come across as rude and hurtful. A kinder, more understanding response likely would have put the cashier at ease.

• Going forward, I'd recommend being gracious if a similar situation occurs. Say something like "It's fine, these things happen! Have a good one." A simple act of kindness can go a long way.

In summary, gas passing happens. The cashier meant no offense and was likely mortified. By reacting abruptly, you may have hurt her feelings and added to her anxiety. Next time, choose compassion - this young person is just starting her career and could use some grace as she gains confidence. I hope this perspective provides some useful insights. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I don’t think she was nervous, I think she ate something bad and you were interrupting her chance to run to the bathroom!

Wasn't my fault though, lol.
