As for Alice being a grocery store checker – she’s already expressed an interest in being a cart herder ‘cause they’d have free run of the cereal aisle!

bigg3469: When you have offended someone in a previous existence, it’s considered inappropriate to complain about them in the current existence (you may be unaware of this).

She’s jealous - she wanted Mr. Otterloop so now she just grunts at her rival. Typical cashier behavior…

I would say: Why do you always grunt at me when you talk to everybody else? If that did not work I would complain to the manager.
