Being a cashier is a unique job. You spend up to thirty hours a week in the same place, doing the same thing. You see the same customers on a daily basis, who tell you the same knock-knock jokes or complain about the same product every day.

Well here’s some news, loyal shoppers: we get sick of the same conversations you guys insist on making with us.

Here are 12 things cashiers are just sick of hearing:


1. If it doesn’t scan, it’s free, right?

Yes. How did you know? That’s how supermarkets work. Take the whole store while you’re at it.


2. Can you check in the back for me?

I want every shopper to know that when you ask us this, we walk to the back room, answer a text or two, walk out and tell you we don’t have the product #sorrynotsorry.


3. Can you double bag?

Are you aware you have bags on your side to bag your own order?


4. Can you break a one hundred dollar bill?

Normally this question doesn’t bother me, but when it's 7 a.m., you saw me get my till two minutes earlier and you ask me this, expect me to serve you some attitude.


5. *hands you one hundred dollar bill* I just printed it, hope its dry!

Please stop this. One day we’re going to snap and call the cops on you for this horrendously bad joke.

6. Are you open?

No, one of my hobbies is to dress up in the store’s uniform in my free time and stand at a register with the light on, just to confuse people.

7. *cashier looks for PLU number on produce* that is an apple

Wow. Thank you. We could have been here for HOURS if you didn’t tell me that.


8. You told me the bread is in aisle 7 but I can’t find it, are you sure?

Trust me, I live here. I never go home and I know where every single product is located. Go look again with your special eyes.

9. I want a manager!

I promise you, they’re going to tell you the same thing I did. Let's not waste our time or cause a scene.


10. Can’t you open any more registers, these lines are ridiculous!

We never thought of that!! OPEN MORE LANES TO ALLEVIATE LINES???? You’re a revolutionary thinker, lemme tell you.


11. You rang that item up for more money than what the sign said!

Okay, let’s get some things straight: I did not ring anything up for you, the computer did and the computer is right 99.9% of the time. You might have possibly looked at the wrong sign.


12. I DID NOT LOOK AT THE WRONG SIGN I SAW IT

Just know when you do this, we have to call someone to check the sign, wait while they find the product, walk all the way back to us and tell us that the computer price is, in fact, correct and you are wrong. Know that the rest of the line now hates you.


Be nice to your local cashiers, people.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
