Yeah... I found when I had a similar job people the customers sucked ass. I eventually got fired for cussing someone out when they started getting bitchy. Haha.

Wasn't exactly a great job for me anyway, I have a terrible temper and hate people being disrespectful. I'm suprised I lasted as long as I did at it.

Oh well, making 15 euro per hour working flexible hours in an office and sometimes from home now, doing multimedia for their distance learning courses. So those damn supermarkets can stfu.

Back home, we have this super-store chain like walmat, it's called suguo... basically a Chinese super-market chain.

Anyway, people who work there take absolutely no shit from anyone... No body want to cause trouble anyway when 30+ people are waiting in the same line as you and would support the cashier because they want you out of the queue as soon as possible.

I don't think there were any Suguo in Xi'an. We have some local "supermarket" store, which is really nice and I liked shopping there when I was in China. The cashiers themselves would rape you if you had any complaint with them, which was ok because they did a great job.

The only thing I don't like about Chinese stores is their smell. They have produce/fish/etc. on the first floor of every store, and that bugs me. But the second/third/+ floors are all very nice. They're kind of like French malls, or at least the only one I've ever visited (Galleries Lafayette).

Oh and that "woman" would have held up the line and waited for the one CSM to get over from the courtesy desk (with a gigantic line...we're seriously understaffed here) and void the transaction. On the way home I was imagining the whole thing again, except me being an asshole this time and us getting into a physical confrontation XD. I think old ladies keel over easily, although my blows may have potentially bounced off of her many layers of fat.


Wtf you're understaffed? They told me they were full. Oh well, there's only like 2 weeks until orchestra camp anyways. No point getting a job there now.

We never had enough cashiers, we normally had more than 5 people in lines. We also never had enough cart pushers

This is a continuing trend at every store, the way Wal-Mart squeezed each store's budget is the cause to this unfortunate problem.

I was making less than $9 an hour as a manager at Wal-Mart

Heheheh, I work there as an Assistant Manager (store 5338) and let me tell you, your position is not yet considered management. Hourly supervisors are paid dirt cheap, but once you hit management positions, we start at mid 40K's, here in SoCal.

Customers are douche bags

Yes

co workers are stupider than customers

HELL YES!

And the CSM's are fucking slow and lazy

Not all!

I walked over to their desk so many times when they were just chatting away about bullshit instead of working and paying attention and then they have the audacity to yell at me for leaving my register.

I'd fire their asses, first, for standing around yapping, and second, for yelling at another associate.

I run the cash office at our department store (KOHL's). If I ever had you working a register you'd be fired so fast. You can't process a check for a different amount than what's on the check itself. You should have either asked the customer to edit her check, or process it for $30. I don't know if at walmart you can process checks over the amount (you can't do that where I work, but at supermarkets you can).

Yah people are cheap, but that shit happens all the time. Move on from it and _ALWAYS_ remember:

so, does anyone else get really pissed off at parents who don't know how to raise children? It particularly pisses me off when they give in to the children or just let them loose like its a day-care.

A lot of good bonding in this thread

No, but back in my WoW days one of the Pharmacists (I worked for Zellers) came through my lane buying something, and I looked at him and I knew it.

"You were up all night playing World of Warcraft wern't you?"

subjugated "yes."

It was pretty funny, I swear.

We have a different system here. The customer usually gives us the check blank, and we run it through an automatic machine which prints the total and the words VOID VOID through the number box. The customer can keep the check or throw it away - it's been voided. The register prints off a receipt which the customer needs to sign, and we keep the receipt. Then a customer copy is printed off.

We always tell customers not to write checks, but some people do to keep their carbon, which definitely ok. I've never had anyone hand me a check for an amount over what's paid without telling me they did so. Usually, it's for amounts in multiples of twenty. No one does it for freaking $3.33.

Maybe it's different at Kohl's.
