I wouldn't hear "nasty" so much as detached, lazy, wanting to wash their hands of the situation (for all of those, pretty much), but I could be wrong.
Well, it it is a phrase you hear on Ricki Lake/Jeremy Kyle/Jerry Springer and you are right about detached and lazy. I say nasty is the same thing.

The guy at home depot meant something along the lines of "I understand what you are saying but that isn't how it's set up here at this moment and I do not have the power to do anything about it." He couldn't (or didn't think he could) give you the discount, and his comment was to let you know that. It is what it is sometimes means "I can't do anything about it".
To me it sounds more like the guy DIDN'T WANT to do anything about it. A lazy underpaid worker. Why do more than the minimum expectation? He could have at least tried to make an effort to find out something. It was a cop out.
There is no proof that he's lazy. He may never have heard of giving a discount for scratch and dent merchandise. That's very possible you know, and they may not have gone over that with him at all in training and he could have thought the whole thing was just made up to try and get him to give a different price, in which case he answered pretty nicely. New employees are not always told of all the policies and many times you find somebody trying to scam you when you are running a register. It happens., I've been there.
As for underpaid, well exactly how much do you want to pay for hardware? They pay minimum wage so they can sell their stuff at the price they do. If they pay their employees more, their prices go up. You get a raise over time, as you stay there and you also get more responsibility. However, as long as there are people willing to work for minimum wage, there will always be places that pay that wage, which is fine in my opinion because it allows them to sell things at a price that I, and many, many others can afford and wouldn't be able to otherwise.
Actually, it was the cashier who told me I should have had at least 10%. I did mention what happened to her and when I mentioned the guy's name she did kinda roll her eyes and shake her head as if she knew who it was. I was polite to him to so couldn't he have just called for a manager? I was a weekday afternoon, not very busy.
