Being a cashier is quite an interesting job because you are working with the public. Becoming a cashier definitely helped me learn more people skills and it definitely showed me how to hold my tongue. If you are or were a cashier at some time, here are some experiences that you are probably quite familiar with.
1. When you're standing at your register and a customer asks if you're checking out
"Nah, I just like to get asked that question."
2. When a customer starts getting rowdy and the manager walks up like
And they're probably going to calm down (or anger) the customer by telling them the same thing you have repeated about five times.
3. When you find out your BFF is working the same shift as you
It's even better when they are on the register right next to you!
Time to CUT UP!
4. When a customer asks if you're having a good day
Like seriously. The Best. Day. EVER.
5. When you look in the mirror at the end of a shift
Hoping you didn't look like this all day and realizing how many people saw you this way
6. When a customer compliments how fast you scanned their items
"I get a lot of practice."
7. "You're total is $65.84."
*Customer hands you 9 rolls of change.*
8. When your replacement walks in to take your place
Such a freeing feeling
9. When a customer says YOU overcharged them
Technically, it was the register
But I'll gladly check the shelf and refund you
Or prove you wrong.
HAH!
10. When someone puts their stuff on your register belt and walks away to grab more things
And another customer walks up with the same expression as you probably thinking the SAME thing you're thinking... "Why don't they just use a basket?"
11. When a customer finds out an item is $0.08 more than they thought it was
And you awkwardly ask, "Do you still want it?"
12. When someone hands you cash and you just finished watching them cough and sneeze all the way up to your register
Where's the Germ-X?
13. When a customer threatens to not come back to your store anymore
"It probably won't be easy for you, so really, ...Good luck."
14. When someone is walking up to your register and you say, "Hi, how are you?", but they pass up your register and keep shopping
So you awkwardly turn around and pretend you didn't talk
OOPS
15. When you tell a customer they can't use a certain coupon and they say, "They let me use it here all the time."
16. When a customer says, "Keep the change!"
Cause you're happy, even if its just $0.03 (or at least I am) because it does add up after a while!
