So I'm a Wal-Mart cashier. It's a great job. All the other employees are really kind and friendly, and it's fun hanging around with the other cashiers just talking about whatever when the lines get slow. I enjoy working there, and I often strike up conversations with customers. Usually they'll smile and talk about a camping trip, or favorite foods, or whatever; sometimes they just kind of scowl (which is my cue to just scan their items and get them through the door).
Of course, you also get your problem customers.
Just today, I had a lady come in my express lane check out - 12 items or "less" (should be fewer) - and check out some items. Barring the fact that she had more than twelve items, she seemed like a kind old lady, and we exchanged pleasantries. I don't mind if people have more than twelve items in the express lane unless there are other people behind him/her, in which case I direct them to a normal line if they have too many items. But there was no one behind her. I summed up her total and she gave me a check.
She wrote the check for thirty dollars, even though it was 26.67. I remember that, honestly. I put it through the automatic check reading machine, and it processed. The receipt came out, and I didn't give her any change. She asked me why, and I said you were only charged for your total. Then she pointed out to me my mistake, and I apologized, but told her that electronically, she was only charged for the amount of her items.
She asked me for money from my till, and at this point, there were other customers coming in. I replied that I couldn't do anything about it, and she was only charged for 26.67, and that we keep a store copy of our records and the check I returned to her was worthless and that she could just throw the check away and rip it up. But she was adamant.
So she stood there until I would give her the money back, which I obviously could not, as I didn't owe her anything. I helped some customers out, and then I asked her if there was a pressing need for the 3.33 she was "owed" in change, and that I'd give it out of my own pocket for her to just fuck off.
Of course, she just stood there, smiling at me, saying some random shit I couldn't care less about. I didn't know it was that possible to be such a pretentious, patronizing, hag, but then again, to be pretentious you have to have some semblance of worth and her life was completely and utterly worthless. She then told me, after I took a break from my other customers to address her concern, to "go help your customers". About fifteen minutes later, she decided to go "see a manager", and I politely pointed her to the courtesy desk. I finished up some people and started blinking my cashier lights. Then I accompanied her to the courtesy desk where a CSM (customer service manage) would help her.
The fat bitch that no one in their right mind would want to touch explained the situation, but the CSM informed her that she was only charged for 26.67 and that the check was worthless after it got into our records. We print and return the checks, and the machine printed on 26.67 over her writing. She then turned to me and said "I hope you realized that you made a mistake". At this point, I just smile to her and say "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to do better next time". She then says that she "saw" me make mistakes before.
What the fuck, you worthless heap of leftover organic matter? Were you stalking me or something? There's no way in hell she could know how my performance was, especially since I'm usually unfailingly amiable and polite. I even bagged her items based on utility and expected order she'd put them in her house in. My mistake was a tiny oversight on her check. Her mistake was existing.
So at this point I'm wondering how much of her blood it would take for a clean up in aisle one to spill over to aisle two. Then she, still smiling, leaves, probably thinking that her bloated, self-righteous vitriol would somehow get me to feel guilty about myself and that she scored a major victory against Wal-Mart. Of course, all I felt was a sense of curiosity about if her intestines were long enough to strangle herself with.
Just not yuppity old bitches who were alive fifty years before the word "yuppie" existed. Just because she's quite manly doesn't give her the right to be a pretentious whore.
I work at a local grocery store and I get in similar type situations because I'm a bagger/carry customers orders out if they are large. Some people, (Women, especially older ones, go figure...) are so particular abotu how their bags are done. Yesterday I had a women simply ask me to move to the side before I started because she wanted to do it herself. If everyone was like her we'd have a ruined economy because I (and all bagger people) would be out of a job. Stupid bitch...
Every Fat Bitch goes to Walmart its a known fat. Its also a known fact that Fat Bitches are total bitches because it is annoying to carry all that Fat Bitch weight around all day. Fuck Walmart
The place is fucking horrible. Customers treat you like a piece of shit. Everyone whom you may "think" if your friend or friendly. Isn't, they're all back stabbing assholes. ALL of them. Wal-Mart is a sham.
This is a good opportunity for people to share funny/rediculous/angry work stories. I always love reading these. I have alot of my own, but I don't feel like writing one down now. Maybe later.
"I didn't know it was that possible to be such a pretentious, patronizing, hag, but then again, to be pretentious you have to have some semblance of worth and her life was completely and utterly worthless."
This was my favorite part. You are my new hero for today.
That's why I didn't really want to work at Wal-Mart. And why Morgan quit lol. It's all good, because I'm raking in $115 this week from my computer job.
lmao, hahaha that guy missed and tripped and the other dude just swung something at him lol.
Shoulda just gaven her 3.33, lol reminds me of the korean clan. Btw i think they automatically ban you if you enter op 3.33- now, Dude but didnt wal mart like hire a bunch of mexicans and give them lower than the minimum wage?
when i worked as a cashier my favorite thing were those million dollar bills that threaten you with hellfire.
At another job I used to work cash for, it was Christmas season and only myself and another person were working. She goes out for a 30 minute lunch since she had been working for like 5 hours and im left to watch cash. Customers who ask me for help understand I cannot run around and help them for a little bit because I need to ring people through and make sure no one steals. Well, except for one old woman. She asks me if there is a larger size for a jacket she has in here hand, and wants me to look out back. I tell her when we get any article of clothing in we put them all out at once, there are no more out back. I explain I cannot go look through the racks for her for another 12 or so minutes. This was all very polite from me. Then she decides to talk to (curse and berate) me for 10 minutes and leaves for a moment. My co-worker returns after that moment and she comes back and asks me to help.
her: some bitchy phrase asking me to help her. me: "No, I do not want to help you. You were rather mean and rude to me."
Pretty well my exact words. Herself, her husband and her mother (ancient) storm out and she vows to have me fired. Well, I should of helped her. But what I said was hardly atrocious. I get a formal warning for this because she told my boss that I made fun of her mother for being blind (I didn't say a word to this woman and I doubt she is blind.) but luckily my boss doesn't care at all because she doesn't feel men are anygood at customer service and shes happy I didn't do worse (she believed my story over hers.) She just advises me if I get another formal warning from the corporation I'll have to be fired by policy. Never had another warning and now I have a much better job inwhich I do physical labour outside. Yay.
I worked at Wal-Mart back in 2001. Worst job I ever had. Customers are douche bags, co workers are stupider than customers. And the CSM's are fucking slow and lazy. The only competent people in the whole store were a few main managers (black shirt guys) but they were always busy helping everyone else cause they couldn't help themselves.
The best thing about that job seriously is the IPH checker (APM) thing that you can do at your register. It actually makes you have a goal for each day to exceed your previous day.
PS- another thing I noticed is that the 12 items or less express lanes ALWAYS take longer because for some reason the people that come to those always have slow ways of payment or want to take something off their bill or whatever that requires a CSM to do. And the CSM's take their sweet fucking time to come over to your register when you put on the flashing light. 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.
The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I was late one day because they wouldn't let my mom take a 15 minute break to go pick me up (she worked there with me). And there is no bus that goes there unless I took like 3 that like zig zag all fucked up to get there. Then they yelled at me for being late.
the funniest thing I find about walmart is how lazy the customers are. When I go to wal-mart I always find the two lanes closest to the door have about a 10 minute line-up, even though there are cashiers standing at the end of their lanes waiting for customers.
I usually use the self check out thing if possible. The "Giant" supermarket near Johns Hopkins definitely had an effiient easy to use system that I liked.
That's why physical labor is better than shitty customer service jobs. You don't have to deal with retards all day, it's actually something that you can improve yourself at, and your brain doesn't turn into mush. Plus you actually have more energy at the end of the day since you are more active.

You normally have to ask if you can get cash back on a check. Wal-Mart probably doesn't allow that anymore, and it's not exactly a grocery store. Beside that, who the fuck gets $3.33 over on a check? Normally people ask for cash back in sums of $10+.

Well its not people (retards) I hate. I work at a campground right now so I deal with a lot of hicks and townies 'enjoying' the summer and I also have to deal with children a lot. My job is physical labour, I carry wood, move picnick tables, drag shit around and do anything the girls aren't strong enough to do, along with things that are difficult for anyone to do physically. But I still have to interact with customers.
The major difference is that I'm not stationary, and it costs something to stay in my campground. When you're trapped in a store inwhich customers do not have to spend money, bitchy people purposely go looking for you. They don't need to shop, they just want to get pissed off at someone who can't run away or fight back. Its the reason why you see the same people at close every night. They just want the attention of being told they have to take their items to the cash by 7 different people. They can press people into helping them find stuff, they can cause a fuss, they can make you jump through all kinds of stupid hoops.
Working for a corporation you cannot retreat and their policy stops you from defending yourself, even in polite and proper ways. Assholes know this and prey on it.
I usually try to handle my business as fast as possible because in my experience the cashier / whoever is a total retard. Except in computer stores usually.

Well what I did was flick down my light so it was flashing, and told her a manager would be here shortly because I paged one. All the CSMs at my store are very competent, and quite efficient and friendly and I've never had a problem with them. We only had one CSM in, and one CSM in training, who couldn't complete anything yet because he didn't have his numbers.
I couldn't void the transaction (even with a CSM) because I had already started to check out other customers.
At my store the CSM code is 248 for miscellaneous.
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.
Sometimes I'll spike up to like 600-700 when customers get like 5 of each different kind of portfolios/clue/crayons and they all have different UPCs. I love those days (I'm not always on the express lane).
I work weekends at a popular Australian supermarket and I've come to the conclusion that many people are under the impression that they're actually obliged to be an ass hole simply because it's a supermarket they've just walked into. Of course, there are many really nice and friendly customers which lifts your spirits... but when you get a bad egg, it just fucks your whole mood
fat people and old people are always the worst you'd think fat people would be jolly, and old people would be kind and respectful nope, they're all cunts
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.
i feel ya man... i work at a small grocery store as a cashier.. and i have retarded people come in all the time and try to argue with me that they are right and shit... its fucking annoying, usually white folks, never the hispanics or blacks.
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.
hmmm i dont think that's the case haduken... i was under the impression that cashiers were decently paid. :/ well dont worry this is just 1 bad costumer from how many GOOD costumers? no problems man, just keep cool
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).

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:

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.

I swear every Chinese super-market is a fire-hazard. They have employees whos job is just standing next to the shelves and watch customers so customers won't steal shits. Apparently it's cheap to hire 20 more employees than get some video cameras.

Not in that one gigantic store in Xi'an...it just has patrols of employees who prowl around the aisles :D
it was stopped because of check kayaking or whatever.. where people would write checks for 50$ for a bag of M&M's or something and then put the money in the account the next day to cover the funds before it posted at midnight.. quick cash scheme
in all honesty i don't mind wal-mart other than the fact i hate how white trash the customers can be.. i'm 20 years old and i'm considering getting a costco or sams club membership or something just to escape the weird people , at least some of them ;O..
but in terms of service it's usually fine for me.. i spend an hour walking around getting random things and grocery shopping.. the prices are decent.. and i get out in about 5 mins or so .. so i'm satisfied

I used to be 2-7 For Kohl's and my CO always told me that they process the amount written on the check not what is printed on afterwards. Hence some of my cashiers I wrote up cause they didn't check to see the amount written on the check and we took a loss cause they are morons. BTW quit KOHL's now its a piece of shit retailer. It's like 10 years behind every other retailer out there.
I was shopping at Stop and Shop and this lady held up a line for like 15 minutes because she wanted like 2 bucks off some mass of pink lemonade packets she bought. I understand wanting to get what was advertised, but after about a minute I would have said screw it and just not gotten it. Didn't help that they only had 4 cashiers and all of them had like 5 plus people waiting in them.
I was tempted to throw a couple of dollar bills and say "THERE'S YOUR CHEAP LEMONADE NOW GET OUT OF THE LINE ALREADY" but I resisted. -_-
When I worked at Subway it was in a really crappy part of town. For the customer washroom at the back of the store there was a buzzer I had to push for the customers to get in, so I could control who went in. However, for some strange fucking reason, there was also a deadbolt lock that could be thrown from the inside. Weirdest thing ever.
Anyways, one night a customer was leaving the bathroom and left by the exit near it. Just as he left, a junkie snuck in that door and caught the bathroom door before it closed. I was busy so I counldn't do much about it then. 45 minutes later...
a customer comes up to me while I am almost done the lineup and informs me there is blood running out the bottom of the door in the grout of the tiles. The crazy bitch had locked herself in there, thrown the deadbolt, and then freaked out. She thought her ovaries were giving her cancer, and attempted a self-hysterectomy with a switchblade. Needless to say, it was a fucking mess.
After the ambulance came and took her away, I looked in the bathroom and it was like the hallway of The Shining. I called the owner to tell her the situation and she asked me to clean it up with "bleach and extra gloves". I laughed at her, called the bio-hazard guys, and signed the 800$ bill for the store.
My grandfather used to pray for my safety every night in that place.
Yeah I'm working a job at a local Taco Time (Mexican fastfood place) as a cashier. I pretty much hate my job but my parents won't let me quit because they are Asian and want me to learn that "money izu berryyy haadu to makuuuu." I pretty much hate everyone now.
I hate little kids. They are unable to eat their fucking kid's meals without spilling at least half of it on the floor. Parents never seem apologetic about the mess their kids make and are sometimes just as bad.
I hate old people. I don't know if it's because I'm skinny and Asian, but they all seem to think that it's alright to treat me like shit. They always think they're right and if I make the smallest mistake they talk to me like I'm a fucking retard.
I also hate the people I work with. All the godamn Mexicans can't speak any English and the only people that do speak English, the managers, usually just sit in the corner being lazy.
Homeless people suck. When I first started working I felt sorry for them because they are well, homeless. But then I realized that a lot of homeless guys are nasty and jerks. They shave in the bathroom and leave shit-trails all over the place which I have to clean up.
The worst part of my job is that I got home smelling like fried burritos.

You should get a costco membership regarldless. That store fucking rules
Whenever I'm in the Wal Mart nearest to me, I simultaneously feel both elitist and sympathetic towards people who normally have to shop there for clothes, or have to work there because they followed in their parents footsteps and never made any attempt at getting an education.
My favorite part is when some guy grabbed my bag out of my hand because the "alarm went off." The alarm never went off; he just wanted to be a prick.
By the way, no store has the right to check your purchases after you've purchased them. If they are accusing you of shoplifting, they are required by law, to say what item you have hidden where on your person. If they do not do so, they are breaking the law. But, if you stop for them when they don't follow procedure, you can't do anything. But, if they attempt to detain you, you can sue them for false imprisonment.
So, unless the alarm actually goes off, don't stop for anyone. You don't have to. If they harass you, call the police.

Haha this is true they cannot detain you because you refuse to open your bags. Also I don't know any retailer that does this. If they are accusing you of shoplifting, they are required by law, to say what item you have hidden where on your person. If they do not do so, they are breaking the law. The reason for this is they have evidence of you shop lifting their Undercovers will wait until you exit the building and stop you there. Now there are very few retailers left that don't have a no touch policy only one I can think of is Target and maybe walmart, But the majority of them will not touch you if they clearly see you steal they will infact surround and try and intimidate you back into the store where they call the police and let them take it over from there.

Emp: Next time you see someone starting to act like a bitch, Ask them to show their handbag in case of shoplifting and if they refuse, call security. OR Just call the manager right away and explain the situation on the phone making it very clear and loud what an idiot the customer is. "we have a Situation, A customer is trying to steal from us! Yeah a very suspicious individual, making a jam in the fast lane" OR Start yelling "OMG she is having a heart attack"
Back when I was in high school I worked at a pizza place, we stayed open pretty late and usually after the bars closed we would get a decent rush of customers looking for some quick food on their way home, anyways there was this one night were a man came just after the bars had closed, he was obviously drunk. He ordered a medium pizza and a glass of water but was very loud and beligerent. I had to laugh, it was the owner of the place that was on cash that night and was dealing with this unruly customer. By the time the pizza was all ready to go the man had gone to far and said something that pissed off my boss, to the point he told the man he wasn't getting any pizza. The drunkin man exploded and tossed his glass of water in the face of my boss. Now my boss had a temper of his own, and after this occured he grabbed the 2 foot long blade that we use to cut the pizzas with, and chased the dude out of the store and down the street. The guy lost his shoe along the way.

If everyone was like her we'd have a ruined economy because I (and all bagger people) would be out of a job. Stupid bitch...

For the customer washroom at the back of the store there was a buzzer I had to push for the customers to get in, so I could control who went in. However, for some strange fucking reason, there was also a deadbolt lock that could be thrown from the inside. Weirdest thing ever.
Anyways, one night a customer was leaving the bathroom and left by the exit near it. Just as he left, a junkie snuck in that door and caught the bathroom door before it closed. I was busy so I counldn't do much about it then. 45 minutes later...
a customer comes up to me while I am almost done the lineup and informs me there is blood running out the bottom of the door in the grout of the tiles. The crazy bitch had locked herself in there, thrown the deadbolt, and then freaked out. She thought her ovaries were giving her cancer, and attempted a self-hysterectomy with a switchblade. Needless to say, it was a fucking mess.
After the ambulance came and took her away, I looked in the bathroom and it was like the hallway of The Shining. I called the owner to tell her the situation and she asked me to clean it up with "bleach and extra gloves". I laughed at her, called the bio-hazard guys, and signed the 800$ bill for the store.
My grandfather used to pray for my safety every night in that place.
WOW.. was this in the country you previously lived in or japan? and i used to work at the movie theaters at AMC oh my geez... the people are soo retarded!!!! (people as in the guest)
one time i was working as a concessionist or the person who gives you the food shits..yeah thats the little asian dude behind the counter anyways.. this fucktard comes with a bag thats labeled refill now the policy is that when the bag says refill on it, it means that it has ALREADY been refilled so we can only give one refill and that was THAT. Anyways i was nice and all and politely told him that he cannot receive another refill because he was already given out one earlier today which is the policy like i said. Well he told me that he didnt get a refill yet and its a common mistake that everyone makes when the bag says refill so you would guess that it is refillable. sooo...i understood why he was confused, and held the policy because a manager was near otherwise i would have just given it to him. Then out of nowhere he calls me a jackass and a dumbfuck and then yells at the manager to hire better workers and not some stupid fucking kids. i was ready to just quit the job right then and there and punch that old hag in the face but i had to calm down and then was ordered to give him another popcorn refill~_~!!!.
denno if that makes sense story short i got owned by some fucktard who wanted to get fatter than he already was
From what I'm reading from this thread, i'll give you the best advice: Life is too important to take too seriously and don't sweat over the small stuff because its just really small stuff. Life is the way it is, if you take things too seriously, its really you not life itself. Life is never fair to anyone, BECAUSE it was never meant to be!!

I didn't owe her any change, read the first post.
Quick rundown:
Her purchase was around 25 dollars. She wrote her check for 3.33 over because she is an ass. I accidentally put it in the autocheck machine, which processed her check for the amount of her purchase. She was charged for the amount of her purchase. She demanded money back.
I really wish I memorized her name/phone number from her check because then I'd be prank calling her a bunch XD
