These are a few of my favorite things as a cashier

Things I absolutely LOVE as a cashier:

1. People who are on the cellphone for the entire transaction, you can't greet them, ask their bagging preferences, or anything, you just have to awkwardly listen to their conversation and watch the customers behind them get pissed off and then complain about it when they see you

2. People who say absolutely nothing, you greet them, you smile, you bag, you hand everything to them and tell them to have a nice day, and they stare at you like you murdered their parents

3. If something doesn't scan, customers scream "oh if it doesnt have a price that means it is free!"

4. People who don't empty their baskets onto the belt and make you do it yourself

5. When they want to get "just one more thing and will be right back", especially during busy times

6. Sunday Shoppers

7. People standing there staring and tapping their foot/card/phones when I have to ring up their order and bag it because we have no bagger in my lane and they tell me they are in a rush but don't bother helping me bag

8. Customers yelling at me

9. They don't want an item because it costs too much and they didn't bother looking at the price of the item before they put it in the cart

10. Every single time I have to void anything out, ever, they suddenly go into full attack helicopter mode and yell at me for triple charging/charging for the wrong item when the can't read that it says in big letters "VOID AND -$.XX"

11. When people ask for silverware, every single fucking time, as if it is their first time in the store ever

12. People tell you to bag heavy, then complain the bag is too heavy

13. They ask if the chip readers work and there are big fucking paper signs covering the chip readers saying "CHIP READER DOES NOT WORK" and they tear it down and put the card in anyways and ask me "does this chip reader work? DOES IT WORK!? WHY IS IT NOT WORKING~!?!?!!?!?!?!?"

14. Kids, they yell scream and do whatever they want because they know they can get away with it

15. They don't check the merchandise at all before they put it in the cart, they just assume that every single can, box, and every single god damn fruit and vegetable is in perfect condition and then check it in the check out and make you take the nasty spoiled fruit or vegetable or dented/opened boxes/cans

16. People who are bleeding or scratching scabs and then touch everything on the register

17. People who sneeze/cough on you

18. People who don't put messy items into bags such as Corn, Meat (that stuff leaks onto the belt and can get them and everyone else, and most importantly me sick), greens, etc

But really, here are some actual awesome things customers can do:

1. They treat you like a human being

2. They smile and talk to you

3. You can talk about products that both of you like

4. You exchange funny stories during slower times

5. They help you bag when they see no baggers

6. They are understanding if something doesn't go according to plan such as having a manager override something

7. They have small dogs in their purses and let you pet them

8. They turn off their phones or end a conversation before starting the transaction at the check out

9. They let another customer go ahead of them if they have one or two items
