Not following COVID Protocol &…
Not following COVID Protocol & Professionalism --The cashier I dealt with was both unprofessional and did not follow COVID-19 protocol. -Background of interaction: I visited Kohls to purchase pillows (4). I got to the cashier desk to pay. I asked the cashier if she could put the pillows in a bag because it was raining hard and I did not want them to get wet and start to smell. She said she did not know if she had large bags (they were behind her). She asked for the amount to be paid which I paid and then she just looked at me. I asked if she can locate bags to put them in. That is when she turned around and took two bags. She struggled to get them in and had the plastic pillow bag opening facing up which would mean they would get wet as soon as I got outside. I asked her if she can insert the pillows downward in the shopping bag so they do not get wet. She looked at me and continued to insert them and did the same for the second two bags. I took the first bag and pulled them out of the shopping bag and reinserted them with the pillow plastic facing downward in the shopping bag. At that point she shoved the second bag she was working on over to me. At that point I said to her that that is very unprofessional of her. She then said in a loud voice 'NEXT' to the customer next in line while I was still standing there trying to put my items in the bag. The next customer actually came to the small counter and stood about 12 inches from me (I was surprised they listened and did not keep a distance and went by what she requested). She took the person's item and started to ring up their items while I was still struggling to get the pillows in the bag at the small register counter. I repeated to the cashier that what she was doing was very unprofessional. At that point, the cashier came out and said to me “You are going to do what you want”. The customer standing next to me got a nervous look on his face as she continued to ramble and mumble additional comments. While all this was going on, my son was standing there next to the customer that come up close to he and I. I found her lack of professionalism unacceptable and a total disregard for the current COVID-19 restrictions protocols because she wanted to use that as a means to make me move away from the counter and she did not have to deal with me (the customer). **UPDATE After calling store and sending comments to Kohl's corporate, I received an email stating: Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time!
