Ah yes. The fun days of being a cashier. Enjoyable except for the assholes. Because of my experience of cashiering, i now find myself trying to be nice and pleasant even on a bad day.

you never know when the cashier has a loaded gun.

There’s no point in taking it out on the cashier if you pick up the wrong thing or if you think something is too expensive.

On the other hand it happens quiet often that a cashier is in a bad mood and takes that out on the customers. In that case I will leave with a little nasty comment directed at the cashier to give him / her something to think about before the next customer comes along. No one wants to shop at a store where the staff is unfriendly all the time.

I love my friendly neighborhood cashier Ashley! If you’d like to gouge out someone’s eyeballs, you should do it with that evil demonic bunny eraser. Remember that from your “Day in the Life” post from years ago? Gah! Yayness.

Also, would you like for me to make this idiot “disappear”? I have connections.

I used to work at the photo counter at Eckerd, which is also a drugstore. And my, oh my. Customers are always stupid, and you will always be blamed for their lack of common sense. I’m so glad I’m not working in retail/customer service/etc. anymore. I absolutely could not take it.

Like the song lyric says: Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding.

This would account for all the asshats that seem to be multiplying in the area of our store. And it would also account for the dumb-ass parents of crackhead kids who let their little hellions run amok in the store.
People suck. I feel your pain.

Hey!

WTF! Who is stupid enough to blame other for picking up the wrong thing! It would be all your fault, not anyone else. I hate people who think they are always right and that they are perfect in every way. Hopefully you won’t have any of those people anytime soon.

Two words. People suck. As a cashier, you’re a target for people to take shit out on. So I’m not surprised. Ignore them though and feel better. :)

Ok, can I just express my absolute adoration for you after reading that? This SO could have been me. I work at a local flower shop and I feel like this on a regular basis. Customers are complete asswipes. I hate them. All of them. Ha.

Thanks… I really needed that.

True, sales persons are humans too and must be treated as such… still, I thought there was this unspoken law “the customer’s always right”.

I keep trying to remember that for when I start working as a computer programmer. Try seeing those people explain what they want, and then they get it: but I wanted something COMPLETELY different. Sure you can rant and rave at them (you’re right), but will they come back… they have the cash.

I like your boyfriend’s nickname. :)
