I recently got a new job as a cashier and while I really love my job so far, I do get the occasional creepy customer, usually weird old men. After a few occurrences, it got me thinking; Am I shallow? Is the only reason I'm off-put due to their appearance? So I wondered if I would be just as creeped out if any of my fictional crushes did the same.

Special shout out to this one for being so weird and specific:

So what have we learned today, folks? It's just as creepy when people you're attracted to does it and it can in fact make them less attractive. I might have permanently stained my love for my blorbos for a meme.

Anyways, let me know if you wanna see more content like this.

Le Store™: *is barren of customers*

Me, waiting to cashier: ah yes. *Dissociates*

The reason you should smile as a cashier no matter what is because

1) it's nice

2) there's people like me that will reflexively say sorry for simply existing in your presence if it feels like you are that much against being there

A customer just told me I have a nice voice and damn, if that didn't absolutely make my night

I work at a grocery store and I just tried to ID someone buying sparkling water… that’s where my mind is rn

Holding myself up on the register, barely able to stand, to the tune of Lego Movie song "Everything Is Awesome":

🎶 everything is

awfuuul

everything is awful when you have chronic pain🎶

I'm a child. I giggle when I ask someone how are you and they answer with hi

I done fucked up today💀

Rosszul ütöttem be valamit és még a főnököm is rámszólt hogy sok a sztornóm. Other than that, kibaszottul sokat basztattam a munkatársam. He took it well tho💀

32. just gonna reiterate #9 here. if it’s a sunday and you say that especially, i promise you that the one moment you caught me not scanning someone is also the one moment i have not been scanning someone in 3 hours. don’t say that it makes me want to die

33.telling me to tell my managers something to change about the store. i’m lying to you, whatever you say to me will absolutely never reach my managers ears.

34. just fucking grabbing things on my side of the counter. like have some decorum

35. staring at me bag your 700 dollars cart cause there’s no bagger and not having the decency to at least not look at me judgmentally if your not gonna offer to help. this makes everything so much harder and worse for everyone in the situation. why

36. just like throwing things in your cart from 5 feet away. at least that’s what i assume is happening with some of the monstrosities of carts coming through my line.

37. then expecting me to fit your horrifying freak of nature of a grocery order back into that tiny little cart all in bags when you could barely pack it to begin with

38. being a bitch about my bagging technique. i promise you a singular banana will not turn your tortilla chips to dust

39. walk up and immediately start saying your rewards number at me

40.please please please don’t hit on me. you are 70 years old and here with your wife and i am 16 you fucking monster

Things You Do That Make Your Cashier Hate You

(Taken from personal experience at my job, where I work as a cashier)

1. Leaving your little hand basket of groceries on the belt for them to empty instead of emptying it yourself. If you can empty your cart, you can empty the basket.

2. Paying with a check at the express register. You’re seriously going to go into the lane that’s supposed to be the fastest and then use the form of payment that takes the longest? Wtf is wrong with you?

3. Asking for your groceries to be bagged in paper bags inside plastic bags. Don’t give me that ‘it’s sturdier/easier to carry’ bullshit. If you’re worried about our plastic bags breaking then just ask us to double the bags. Or bring reusable ones! Bagging groceries in paper inside plastic is so counter productive, takes forever, and is a general pain in the ass.

4. Being super vague about what cigarettes you want. If you want Marlboro Menthol 100’s, THEN TELL ME THATS WHAT YOU WANT! Dont just ask for Marlboro 100’s and wait until the cashier comes back with them to say ‘no I want the green ones’. If you want menthol SAY SO THE FIRST TIME.

5. Demanding help when we are literally unable to help you. Yes, I know you’re self checkout register is having an issue. But don’t demand I go on the intercom and page someone just because it’s been a whole 30 seconds and you haven’t been helped yet. Just be patient, someone will notice your registers flashing light and come help as soon as they can.

6. Coming up to us and asking for something or the location of an item while we are in the middle of helping someone else. It’s rude as fuck.

7. Trying to get around sale/coupon stipulations because they aren’t specifically stated the way you think they should be. You’re being stupid.

8. Reaching around the register to scan your own store card. It is literally the cashiers job to do that. Hand it to them or hold it up for them to scan with the handheld scanner.

9. CASHIER: *is not actively serving someone for 10 seconds* ASSHOLE CUSTOMER: Hey you look bored! I guess I’ll come give you something to do!“

10. Even THINKING the word ‘free’ when an item doesn’t scan correctly or doesnt have a price/barcode.

-other cashiers feel free to add more-

I love the "he asked for no pickles" meme with doorkeay bc I've only ever seen it with Gerry being the one talking and u just KNOW it's not bc Michael doesn't want to correct the food staff, but that it wants to correct them a little too much. Gerry has to step in otherwise they'll be there for at least another hour of Michael spinning some philosophical bullshit and scaring some poor fast food worker, and while Gerry doesn't necessarily mind Michael doing that in and of itself (he knows the thing he's in love with), as the only one of the two of them who actually needs material food he would like to eat that food before it gets cold tyvm.

was thinking about the random NPC lady who worked at a fast food chain on Marzon and who is experiencing existential dread since her two least favorite customers are Literally God and his Immortal Radioactive Henchman who keeps trying to become one with the ball pit in the children's play area

They always say that and then come in the next day like nothing happened. Like, you declared to the entire world that you’re never shopping at xyz again, so fucking commit.
