if a cashier is standoffish and unfriendly towards you in the supermarket

how should you respond? this just happened earlier when i went to the supermarket and was at the checkout, the woman cashier who has served me before was abrupt, unfriendly & standoffish.....i reacted by keeping cool, ignoring it, bagging up my stuff saying 'thanks, goodbye' and off i went....but her reaction bothered me and made me doubt myself.

any thoughts?

Don't doubt yourself. Cashiers have to work through mental and physical illness, family strife and being poor with no benefits (usually, they schedule everyone just under full-time). Plus some of their clientele are enough to ruin a day within 10 mins of shift start. You did the right thing by being polite and moving on, so it can't be you
