[Saddy]

lol cashiers don't make $3 an hour. they make more like $13 an hour. at least they do here.

 They're required to engage the customer in conversation. If the customer comes off as unsocial or unpleasant they're reduced to making comments about their purchases, since that's one of the easiest ways to strike up the conversation.

 Either go through a U-Scan or be the first one to initiate the conversation. Otherwise, deal with it and let them do their job. It's not like they really care what you're buying, they're just required to fill the silence.

It's this at my store and trust me, the cashiers aren't all that happy with it either. Usually it's them verbally noting what little piece of crap the person is buying and whether or not it's on sale and all this done often in the face of some hostile creature who is either blabbing on their phone the entire time [but still expects every little item verbally accounted for] or who insists that every thing they have is at least 50% off because they saw a sign somewhere that 'obviously' applied to every thing they got.

Honestly, it's really one of those

"Dear customer,

Suck it up. You probably have the option to go home and destress the second this transaction is over if you want. Or at the very least, go outside and get a few deep breathes of clean, non-old-lady-perfumed air. I do not. I am stuck here at this till until Susie the wonder simp shows up for her shift and then I probably have to go to a second job just to pay the bills. So do me and every one I'll have to deal with after you get to leave a favor and not be the Pill-of-the-Day. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Everyone that's ever had to work a register"

but when i run register at my store

which is not grocery

i always comment on the stuff ppl buy

&can tell it makes some pppl uncomformatble

but idc i wana know stuff!

[mthor]

I'd rather have that than the cashiers where I shop, who are so busy talking to each other  that I'm not even sure they know what they're doing to my groceries.

[KnightStar]

You have obviously never been a cashier before, I have.

It's part of your job to be sociable to people you are helping check out, too bad for you.

You feel all haute and don't want someone talking to you during your checkout, hey see that self checkout over there, USE IT!

By the way it has been a very long time since anyone made $3 an hour at a job.

Jeez Christo you are absolutely insufferable.

[dr_gonzo]

try buying pr0n and the clerk is trying to upsell you to buying toys. i've got a hand i don't need a pocket p ussy.

of course she hasn't. she works for FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES!!! she's makin' the big bucks, yo.

[KnightStar]

I'm not sure if I believe what she "says" she is working for in all honesty.

Thank god for her ignorance of what cashiers go through in a day though.
I'd like to see her stand behind a register slinging groceries for a 8 hour shift and have a attitude like that, her boss would slap her in the back of the head.

Oh and her working taking people's calls in that Fortune 500 company, I wonder just how the hell she keeps a job with such an attitude.....

[FlamingPinecone]

shes **noel** her away to the middle!

[_Star_Wolf_]

Trying to make conversation=/=having no manners?

Please stop shopping. You're probably that annoying customer that stands there all silent like they're too good to talk to the cashier or answer a question.
Word of advice, when they ask you if that's all for you today, actually answer the **noel** question.
When someone tries to make conversation with you? Stop taking offense to it.
You are part of the problem.

Sincerely, someone who can't stand the way people in general seem to act.

Finally someone else who knows the woes of front service at a grocery store.

[stilgar]

dear fugglesses of the boards,

i don't want to read about your personal life, i don't your thread titles cluttering up babbling and rants. just raise your daughter and shut the eff up

[Kinnolo]

During my customer service training at one of the biggest customer focused chains in the US. They told us if a customer was unwilling to engage in conversation, to observe what they're buying. And if it wasn't something like condoms, or preperation H or adult diapers, to find something to comment on to attempt to start a conversation.

If the cashier just "shuts the eff up" and rings you up, they'll get fired for not doing their job.

Surely you knew this, or were you not raised with manners and taught respect?

"measely brain can think up" And does them being a cashier make them inferior to you? Or are you just mad about your lack of a sex life and social interaction so you take it out on them? 

[FromTheAshes]

Don't chew out the cashiers they put up with enough bull**noel**. I never talked and ppl thought I was an a-hole. If you don't like things about the store quit shopping there you moron.

[Kneon_Knight]

Take it as a subtle hint.

If you are ringing up shrimp and Mountain Dew, you are a fatass.

Prove me wrong, tubby.

[westpark]

Mountain Dew makes me drunk and shrimp fat goes straight to my boobs.

Checkmate?

[Kharlatasznazka]

Well, at least they are conversating.

Are they pleasant? Because the cashiers around here can be so darn attitude catching and rude, even when you, the customer is nice and smiling.

I can't drink store-brand Mountain Dew. Had some yesterday & it made me sick as a dog. Dunno if its the sugar content or something else but it leaves a bad feeling in my gut after I drink it.

i never understood why people are so negative when it comes to fug. an agitation is an agitation is an agitation. it doesn't really have to be logical. i mean, it's a rant. mel gibson's rant about the jews wasn't really logical either.

i don't really know if either of you are grounded enough to say anything in the first place.

[valiente16]

I wish I had yours then,I sometimes get the sour middle aged betch who just stares at you like you bothered her by coming to her line.
