What I Have Witnessed As A Cashier This Summer
https://www.theodysseyonline.com

To celebrate my last week as a cashier for now until winter break, here are five strange and bad things I have witnessed this summer while working the register:

1. People Yelling At Me For Asking For Their Stop And Shop Card


Part of my job is to ask you for your card right away...

2. Someone Told My Boss That I Talked Too Much


That's part of my job: making small talk with customers. I'm sorry that I got carried away that one time...

3. Trash Bag Lady


This lady wore trash bags on both legs and had them on her arms. She has OCD big time. However, when a customer came in line behind her, Trash Bag Lady said to the man, "It's going to be a while, I'm a pain in the neck, but hey, you're probably married so you already know what a pain in the neck a woman can be like." So, when it came time to pay, the lady took her Windex that I just scanned in and started spraying it, and took Lysol to it too. The customer behind me said after she left, "She's bordering on strange."

4. Lady With A Big Order But Small Cart

This lady came into my line, and my bagger bagged all of her groceries and just left two up on the counter because the items were fragile. She turns to me and mutters, "What does he expect me to do? Put them in the cart myself? I only have two hands." I think you're very capable of putting two bags into the cart yourself, lady. This woman also complained about how the chip is stupid when I told her to take her card out again, due to a system glitch the registers are having.

5. The Lady Who Doesn't Expect Herself To Bag Her Groceries


Ummmm, who do you think you are? The Queen of England? Get over yourself and pack your food into bags please. You won't break a nail. I promise.

Even though I witness strange and rude people, I still consider my job as a cashier a very fun one. But these people I come across at Stop and Shop end up being great stories to tell my friends and families. There's never a boring day working as a cashier.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
