I wish they'd remove all the phones. Some of the lanes at my store have them still, and they do nothing but get in the way.

Shaking hands is fine. It was the nearly caressing my hands as I bagged stuff that was disconcerting.

I had a guest keep touching me tonight as I was bagging his stuff. He kept grabbing the bags as I was taking them off of the rack, but he was grabbing them way too close to my hands. It was super weird and really kind of creeped me out.

The ones that yell at you that they've got their own bags after they stuck them at the end of the order behind a ginormous pack of paper towels and a mile high pack of TP. Yes, let me use my X-ray vision.

I hear ya. I would have been happy to stay on and just pick up unwanted shifts from the swap board. That discount was pretty sweet for groceries.

Seasonal cashier boat now leaving the store, room for one more. I'm seasonal, and they didn't tell me I wasn't being kept until I asked. My store isn't keeping any of us. The ETL-HR said that she'd be hiring again in July and October, but if I'm still in this podunk town come July, I'm...

OMG, are you a moron? You say you want your card run as a credit, but when it goes through as a debit because you're too stupid to read the prompts, don't get mad at me and make me reverse the debit so that you can run it as credit, then get mad at me because you wanted it to go through as a...

I had a guest come through my line yesterday with 4 bags of gift bows. She asked me to price check them, and they were $.50, on clearance for 90% off. She says, "Oh, I'll only take 1, I thought they would be less." 90% off isn't enough for you? I offered her a red card.

My store allows it, but I don't carry my phone while I'm on a register. You're also limited to how many times you can use a deal in one day, IIRC.

Another store nearby is hiring permanent cashiers. I guess I'd have to put in a new application for there?

I was hired as a seasonal cashier and really liked it. I was told today that my store wasn't going to be able to keep seasonals on. I'm kind of bummed.

Someone got all bent out of shape the other day when I had to scan their license for cold medicine. "Why do you have to scan my license, isn't it bad enough that I'm sick?!" Because you can only buy so much of the stuff ACCORDING TO THE LAW before they tag you for being a meth head or...

Half of the time I had no clue what time we closed for holiday hours. I pretty much assumed that if I was scheduled for shifts ending after 10pm, that was close time. Not that I ever left at that time or anything....

I told a couple of guests who came through my line buying only condoms to "have a great night!"

If I have to pick up more than a few items after work, I'll bring a different color sweater and change before shopping. Otherwise, I'll just put on my jacket and zip it up so that the red isn't showing.
