There are thousands of grocery stores all around the United States. Whether they are located in a big city or a small town, these grocery stores have to experience the hustle and bustle of the food industry. As an employee of a grocery store, a cashier to be exact, I have had to deal with all sort of issues that came my way. And this is a tribute to all the cashiers who can relate.

8. This.

9. When a customer ignores you.

10. And this.

11. But at the end of the day, at least you have this:
