I sympathize with that poor cashier! It's been worse this year, but every year around this time we get the people who want to return some items and exchange them for other items, then they want me to put these items back because they changed their mind, and they need these items rung up separately from these items and to put them on 4 different credit cards...God Almighty, just get your shit straight already!

It's even better when it's on a busy Saturday morning and someone keeps doing this with their damn prescription! This hag did want to pay $$$ for her 90-day supply and decided she wanted a 60-day. Well, gotta cancel that prescription and put the new back through fill, gonna take about 30 min. Ok, get the new 60-day one and now she decides she does want the 90-day. Second verse same as the first.

And she has the nerve to get upset about the wait. Well quit changing your damned mind!

goodness. And I feel guilty about having two orders when I do shopping for my mom. I try to have everything divided up. Heck I use the self checks just not to annoy the cashiers!

If you've got your orders neatly sorted by the time it's your turn to be rung up, then cashiers shouldn't be too irritated at you.

Only multiple-order customers I've ever gotten annoyed at were the ones who get up to the register, after having two customers' worth of time to sort their stuff, and are still splitting it into separate piles as I'm trying to ring them up. I had one lady who had three neat piles, and just as soon as I started scanning the first pile, she started giving me all these weird directions about how to properly bag her order because it was going to different people, and oh, that item belongs on this order, and this item belongs on that other order, and these three you've already rung up need to be on this separate order over here, and.... ::facepalm::
