For most of my senior year of high school, I worked at Walgreens, and it was a great job. However, there were definitely some aspects of that job that I don't miss.

1. The lame jokers.

"No price tag? It must be free!" Thanks, Karen, it's not like I've heard that one a thousand times! This also applies to any kind of joke about chip cards. We know that every place is different with them. To quote this post, "being on register is like playing a game where you've heard all the possible dialogue already and you're just smashing buttons so the dialogue goes away faster".

2. When parents don't do anything about their horrible children.

Once I watched a child throw toys all over the aisle, and their parent looked me dead in the eyes and walked away without cleaning up or disciplining their kid. Were you never taught manners? Were you raised in a BARN?!

3. Two words: EXTREME. COUPONERS.

Look, I respect the art of saving money. But if you buy 12 bottles of Windex, try to use 6 of the same coupons for the Windex, and then insist that you want multiple transactions for all of the coupons to work, I will probably (definitely) hate your guts.

4. People who don't understand the concept of different retail stores.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are people who forget where they are. I've had people hand me their keys and say "The card is on there somewhere", given me Kroger or CVS rewards cards, and I've had customers try to give me expired Dollar General coupons. (I wish I was kidding.)

5. Hagglers.

I painstakingly put the sales tags on for about half the store. It took multiple hours. I know what the prices are. Don't try and argue your way to getting 50 cents off.

6. Customers yelling at you for something you have literally no control over.

The worst/most iconic moment in my Walgreens history is when, after a particularly difficult transaction, the customer told me, "CVS is starting to look better and better." Oh no, so I'll never interact with you again? What a shame.

7. Customers on the phone.

I knew a particularly petty co-worker of mine would talk especially loud whenever a customer was chatting away while checking out. But honestly, it's not that hard to hang up for 30 seconds and be a decent human being.

8. The constantly angry customer.

These people usually have the "I'd like to speak to a supervisor, please" phrase locked and loaded before they even come into the store. I'm sorry that you read our signs wrong or that your coupon is expired, but please don't take it out on me. Sometimes, I've already been on the clock for seven hours before you try to argue with me. I'm already dead inside.
