The fourth of july had rolled around again and here I was, working. It was ok though, half of the road was blocked off for a festival, and as I walked up to work, I brought the cones to the end of the street so that the entire street was blocked off. Hence, there were barely any customers at all except those who walked and those who came from the

if you think you get a lot of flack for being a cashier - avoid serving tables! not only do we take the blame for any of the restaurant's flaws or mistakes, but we must also be capable of reading peoples' minds about their needs and desires. "Will I like this?" people ask me on a regular basis, as if I know. "Will I be full from that?" they expect me to visually gage their hunger. at least your customers dont ask you to do their shopping for you.

someone once told me that the best education in respect would be a day as a waiter - I totally agree. serving people teaches you a lot about other's retardation and levels of compassion.
you also learn to be very very gratefull for individual's efforts.
I treat my cashiers extra nicely cause I KNOW what kind of public they usually serve.

ah my customers are usually fine - everyone is nice and friendly generally. its just the unhelpful ones i dont like. like the people who wont take the stuff outa the trolley when its too heavy for me to lift, they'll just watch me struggle. i work in a diy store....bastard builders.

a little random..

already working at 15...aren't you the responsible one?:)

Well, it is the cashier's fault. Stop performing a public service, dammit.

*sarcasm*I sell overpriced concessions, thus I know people serving the general public are deserving of rudeness. I understand that it's my fault, because I make the prices. And I make people buy them. Own up, man.*end sarcasm*

Comments that aren't spam are nice. Thanks.
