I hate being a cashier sometimes

I was a cashier for a long time (5+ years), myself. But I actually enjoyed my job, most of the time. Most of my customers were repeat customers and we built up a rapport. Lots of joking and silliness at my register, many of them even gave me cards or presents when I got married, and I got 'good-bye' cards from them when I left. It was a lot easier to be in a good mood at work when I knew I was going to be treated like a human being, not a pack mule.

It is hard to keep emotions in check all the time and being a cashier, I can see how you would be on both sides. I used to love working with people like that but I remember having some grumpy people come in..lol. I always tried to stay positive but we can't always do that. I think the worse ones were the ones that were in a hurry and would come when the place was the busiest..lol.

Well, it really seems no matter what type of job a person has, there are the Good and the Bad. Many times I miss being a Cashier and working with the general public especially when I worked at a convenience store and seen a lot of the same people all the time. I can honestly say being a call taker and answering phones and inputting information for people wanting cabs has it's good and bad days as well.

Working in PR area is not an easy task. You must leave all your personal problems a side and still not enough ... the ones you interact very easyly may be or become annoying , disturbing, unbearable. But .. that's the life, that's the job and show must go on ..

I totally understand how you feel. Up until 6 years ago I was a cashier as well. I started working when I was abut 16 years old so I've met all types of people over the years. For the most part my customers were always nice, polite & understanding that sometimes my job as a cashier isn't always easy. But then there are those other customers who don't care about what kind of day you might be having or that your not trying t be mean but there are rules that each store we work for that we as the employees must follow or it could cost us our job. It's these customers that can put you in a bad mood even when you start the day out in a good mood. So believe me I do understand how you feel.

I know what you feel. Well, we are only human and we are not perfect. I have also experienced this. Sometimes, I do not mean what I say. And I just said it because I was not in my best mood. This is normal. I bet everyone has already experienced this. If they haven't, well I guess they are perfect then! Have a nice day! Happy mylotting.

hi SomeCowgirl...the things about imposing our bad days on others is that it is not always a good thing..sometimes it is easiy detered but then other times, it can get out of hand and cause to much unnecessary drama...I am not one of those people who believes the customer is always right.. But we are human beings and some people just push the wrong button at the wrong time...lol... Good Luck!!!!!!

Hi friend, good to know that you are a cashier, most of the people will love this job, as it deals with the money. Each and every job is having its own pros and cons, some times we like our jobs and some times we hate it due to the situation, whatever it is, our job is our source of income and we must learn it to love
