My friend had this experience, and I think ppl need to know: I was visiting Boston and went to the Somerville Market Basket to buy lobster, since it came highly recommended. At checkout, the cashier never asked if I wanted a receipt and didn’t give me one. I immediately asked politely for my receipt, and to my shock, she pointed at the trash bin and told me “look here, that one.” It was clear she had crumpled and thrown it away instead of reprinting one.
I found this extremely disrespectful and humiliating. Another customer nearby also looked shocked. I reported it to staff and later called the manager, who said they would get back to me—but no one has followed up. This was one of the rudest experiences I’ve had with a cashier, and I hope Market Basket addresses it seriously.
