Well I don't have a crazy story this time, and I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong place, but I've been having a difficult time with my job lately due to a number of different reasons. I'm in the process of looking for a new job. Anyway, I just wanted to vent about some of the everyday things that happen to probably every cashier everywhere...
crumpled-up money
money thrown on the counter instead of handed to me (although a friend of mine pointed out that in Germany, it is custom to place money on the counter instead of handing it to the cashier)
the magical whole-dollar total: Customer "wow that's weird!" My brain: "yep it happens at least once a day on one amount or another"
The guys who still think it's funny when I check the $50 and $100 dollar bills to mention that they just printed them this morning. It wasn't funny the first time, it's still not funny.
Guys who ogle me and smile like I'm going to take my shirt off for them right there in the store. Or ever. No.
Being called a "checker" - not sure why but I don't like that word
Being called "hun" or "baby" by other women like I am their friend or their daughter or their daughter's friend. Especially bugs me if someone younger than me does this.
People who have NO idea what they've just spent, as in "oh I only have <insert amount> on my card." These people are usually responsible for turning my nice little pile of returns into a heap that I have to get a cart for.
There are a million more, but that's all I guess. I'm just worn out today.
