dealing with a cashier *caution, bad language
Options
The DO-NOT-DO cashier list
This proves that i had to much time on my hands at work...so I thought up some basic rules and considerations when going through a cashier...
1) Don't be my first customer in the morning. I don't care if you're the archbishop of the Catholic church, I'm going to hate you.
2) Don't look at me in complete disgust when I ask you for a membership card, it's my job...I know that there are too many cards in this world, but it's still my job to ask.
3) If you are a member of the place you're shopping at, I shouldn't have to ask for the card...get it out and ready for me...do you know how many times a day i say "are you a worklife rewards member"...you try it.
4) If you're standing in front of a sign that says "till closed" don't expect service...THE TILL IS CLOSED!!!
5) When asking for your phone number in order for you to gain points, don't give it to me like rapid artillery...go slow damn you!
6) Why the hell would you put your purchase as far away from my reach as possible? Do you think I love straining myself to grab your stuff?
7) Take your stuff out of the basket!! Don't just plop it on the counter and proceed to pick your nose!
8) Please don't fart at my till. You get to walk away, I don't!
9) I don't make the prices!!! If you get it cheaper somewhere else, by all means go there!!
10) I don't order the products either. If we're out of stock, sucks to be you.
11) Don't throw your money at me! Hand it to me like a civilized human being. I'm not a stripper, nor am I homeless, therefore I don't deserve to have pennies thrown at me.
12) When I answer the phone, I don't give a *kitten* who you are or who you work for. Tell me what you want, or who you want to talk to as fast as possible.
13) If you're in a huge line, and you hear me ask each and every damn person for their membership card, get yours ready. While you're at it, get your method of payment ready because you're holding up the line while you dig around for change.
14) If you grabbed the wrong product, or forgot something, you automatically forfeit your place in line. I'm not holding everyone else up while you mess around.
15) When a new cashier opens a till and says "I can help the next person in line" that doesn't mean the last person...wait your turn!! People have been waiting longer then you, just because you're faster doesn't mean you deserve to be served first.
16) Although I am amazing, I don't know the exact price of every god damn thing in the store.
17) If you see me standing next to a till, and I have THE ONLY LIGHT ON IN THE WHOLE STORE...that means I'm open, you don't have to ask.
18) If you have a complaint, I don't care. Don't come to me and think I can fix everything, I'm just a cashier!
19) Stop asking me if we're going to open another till, clearly if I could get you away from me and pawn you off on someone else, I would.
Ok I'm done...

Does this one really make cashier's mad? I do it at the grocery store all the time, but they never say anything to me.

So do I (not the nose picking part!). I never realized taking from the hand basket to scan was so much more difficult than picking it up from the counter or conveyor belt.0 -
You must be great in bed.0

Sounds like somebody needs a career change!0

LOL.....best laugh i've had all day. You must get some really rude people through your checkout. Either that or you have been doing this job tooooo long. Laughed my socks off about the farter. I have been stood behind one of those before. Its disgusting. The worst one was a lovely little old lady in a wheelchair. She absolutely STANK of stale urine. When she moved away, the cashier sprayed air freshener around to stop us all being sick....he he. I do appreciate a cashier with a sense of humour. Loved it!0

of course
and if they happen to be a homeless stripper, you can just throw aluminum cans at them so they can have them recycled for the $0 -
I guess I don't do the nose picking part either...well not every single time anwyays.

These people piss me off, or texting while the cashier waits for you to look up so you can pay. you are NOT that important... seriously phones away until your done please. I hate waiting I have *kitten* to do.0 -
This is my favourite.0 -
Amen to all of that! I'm not a cashier, but I'm in that line and I hate all those jerks! But the one that jumped out at me goes for anyone giving anyone their phone number:
5) When asking for your phone number in order for you to gain points, don't give it to me like rapid artillery...go slow damn you!
Seriously, don't make me listen to your stupid voicemail 5 times to try to get the phone number. Slow down, take a breath - for crissakes!0 -
Have you considered a position that does not put you in contact with the public?0

I hate when people do that.17) If you see me standing next to a till, and I have THE ONLY LIGHT ON IN THE WHOLE STORE...that means I'm open, you don't have to ask.
