There's actually a really simple solution to this:
Ask the cashier to call the manager to your line. Don't leave the line.
Inform the manager(while standing in front of the offending employee) that
the employee was ridiculing you and that this is not what you expect from
their store. Express your displeasure at their service. Your money spends
just as well as the next person's. They should only be concerned with
providing you with good service. Etc.
Remember, the employees are there to serve YOU. Don't be afraid to remind
them of that.
