Working as a cashier at Walmart during college has exposed me to thousands of rude customers. It surprises me how rude and ridiculous customers can be. Here are the top five things cashiers at Walmart hate. Who knows maybe you have done a few of these yourself.
1. Complaining about there not being enough registers open
I get it, it seems like every time you go to Walmart there are about three registers open. I also get that the wait is very irritating! However, when every customer complains to the cashier about it all we think is, "Well, we're not the one's who make the schedule." That would be a management issue, not a cashier issue.
2. When customers get mad when a cashier does not know the location of something
People think that because we are employees at Walmart, we need to know where every item is located. However, that is not the case. Walmart is too big of a store with thousands of items!
3. When customers go through the 20 items or less lane with MORE than 20 items
If you go through what is called the "speedy checkout" with 22 items that's fine! I am talking about those customers who have 60 items. What is even more irritating is when these customers go through when lines are long, because everyone in line with a few items rolls their eyes at me like it's my fault!
4. When customers ask for assistance when a cashier is on break
There have been countless times where I go on break and as I walk to the break room without my vest to let people know I am not working and people still stop me and ask for assistance! All we want is to go on break people!
Next time you go to Walmart be considerate of their associates. We deal with rude people all day and we do it because we need the paycheck!
