#cashier hell

This was my answer:

Funny almost every single person agreeing with this are boomers. One person said this is so the customer has to put up with more crap in the store. Oh, but it's OK for cashiers to put up with your crap cause you're too lazy to walk down 10 ft to the next open register? "There's no open registers anywhere! Forcing me to work for you, wHeRe'S mY w-2?!" There's a register here, here, and there. But you complain because the closest ones to your car are self-checkouts. So you use them then hold the poor host hostage to your verbal abuse or force them to act as a cashier for you, drawing their attention away from other customers who may legitimately need their assistance for more than just scanning their items for some fat lazy ass who starts huffing at the simple action of bagging their own shit. So yeah when Walmart sees that more transactions are going through their self-checkouts than actual registers, Walmart doesn't see the purpose in maintaining unused registers and replaces them with more self-checkouts. You want stores to keep cash registers? Treat your cashiers with respect so that they won't fucking rage quit because some Karen with an expired coupon they printed off their computer three months ago decided to call corporate and complain about them for the 5th time that week. If you can't treat cashiers as people don't get mad when you can't find them working their jobs. Or shop from Amazon and fuck off.

As one of them it's just so inconsiderate when people don't use the dividers. I'm not going to know what's yours and what's the next person's if you DON'T SEPARATE THEM.

I also feel that as a neurodivergent person, I tend to get overwhelmed pretty easily and that will sometimes come out as anger. If we're already super busy and there's a lot of loud noises, I'm sorry if I come off as rude when you deliberately make me feel like an object.

One man had the nerve to call me out by my name just because I wasn't DOING LIKE FIVE THINGS AT ONE TIME FAST ENOUGH.

I was in the middle of putting things in a bag, he told me he had things on the bottom of his buggy/cart, so I mentally noted that but I was in the middle of bagging and THEN HE HOLDS UP SOMETHING, AND SINCE I DIDN'T RESPOND FAST ENOUGH, HE CALLED ME BY MY NAME IN THIS ANNOYED TONE LIKE

EXCUSE ME??

You see me trying to do something, I'M NOT AN OCTOPUS!!!
