That's how I really learned how to deal with money... I hate when people my age (mid twenties now) look embarrassing when counting money :/ | ||

It's a headache to have to fiddle with all the coupons and all the special codes and god forbid one doesn't scan right a manager has to get called. I mean I'm all for saving money, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating for the cashier. So youre telling us youre such a good person that you would rather spend an extra $220 than make someone's ridiculously easy job a little difficult? | ||

Just because the job isn't physically demanding and doesn't require a tremendous amount of intelligence to do correctly does NOT mean it is ridiculously easy. Obviously if someone was given the chance to save over $200 on their purchase they would take it, and not care much about the people around them. However, the fact of the matter is that presumably the method that lady used to save that money is available to all of us, but virtually none of us utilize it. That's because we have "better" or "other" things to do with our time. Anyone who has NOT been a cashier before really has no business saying that it's an "easy" job. Dealing with the public en mass like that can make for a very difficult job. Trust me, I know. | ||

It couldn't possibly matter unless you have commission. If I were the cashier I'd just smile and go into idle mode for the 8 hour shift. Can't think of anything easier. There are SO many more annoying tasks to do in similar jobs, such as stock taking in a shop. UGh that is hideous. | ||

Cashiering isn't commision (in most cases), but at least in my experience, your bosses and supervisors sure like to think it is. | ||

There are SO many more annoying tasks to do in similar jobs, such as stock taking in a shop. UGh that is hideous. Uh just to clarify I'm not a cashier. I was a supermarket cashier for two years in the 2001-2003 range. No there is usually no commission. "It couldn't possibly matter unless you have commission." I disagree with this. You have not been a cashier so I don't expect you to understand what it is like to be one (and that goes for most jobs). Ironically I actually got called into the manager's office once regarding coupons... and I remember a conversation <GM> I've noticed you have too many coupons doubling lately {note: the doubling process is pretty much automated} <me> Don't I double any coupons that say do not double, up to a max value of 1 dollar? <GM> Yes but your percentage of doubled coupons is unusually high recently <me> Is the computer system able to tell which coupons were or were not correctly doubled <GM> No, I can just see you have a high percentage lately <me> Well I'm following the store policy; I must have received a higher than normal percentage of coupons that are eligible for doubling <GM> I expect to see the % go down. Another time not quite as ironic in this thread but still noteworthy: <GM> Time for a quick pep talk. Your customers per hour statistics seems lower than average. <me> Oh <GM> Try to pick up the pace a little <me> <leaves> <me> <under my breath so nobody hears me> ya when I work during slow times so there are no customers waiting my customers per hour might go down :/ | ||
