one thing that drives me nuts going with the actual cashier is they'll put like a jar and an orange in one bag and then double bag it. no! load that poo poo up i want the handles stretched to the breaking point by the time i get it to the car

plastic bags aren't broadly recyclable and your pickup service doesn't want them. that's why many stores have plastic bag returns, so they can send it to one of the very few companies that won't just throw it in the garbage

as someone who has been a cashier for several companies: it’s the worst job in the store. it’s almost always the lowest-paid position. you’re stuck in one place for hours at a time, and you’re the most visible to customers so you’ll catch the most bullshit for stuff that’s wildly out of your control. gently caress cashiering.

when i worked retail in high school i always wanted to do cashier. it was like a little game, how fast can i type these codes into the machine. way better than getting up on ladders and pulling boxes to fill products in the aisles and yes there were no stools

I’ll say the worst was probably when I worked for toys ‘r’ us when it was in its death throes. I was a cashier for them one holiday season. had a fist fight break out at my register one Saturday right before Xmas. more people arguing with me about coupons than I can count, people threatening me over company policy that required a receipt for returns oh halfway to xmas I was ringing someone up and had this exchange: customer: “so I get a free coke, right?” me: ??? customer points at a new sign taped to the front of the register, out of my sight line, that reads “need batteries? if we don’t ask you if you need batteries then you get a free 20oz soft drink!” apparently was something implemented but the managers told no one. from then on, we had to upsell loving batteries at the register no matter what they were buying buying a bicycle? ask if they need batteries buying a Barbie? ask if they need batteries buying a pack of gum? ask if they need batteries buying a pack of batteries? you better ask if they need more batteries with their batteries then when the holidays are over my hours got cut back to one shift a week, on Sunday, 10 AM - 7 PM open to close, where I was the only cashier for the whole day and would have maybe three customers the whole shift. wasn’t allowed to sit down or even do busy work like restock shelves. most of the time I wouldn’t see a supervisor the whole day and wouldn’t even get someone to relieve me for a break. but this isn’t the retail bitching thread so

KoRMaK posted:its wierd how trying to be 'good' to the environment can cause you to accidentally start hoarding things. i stash mine at the top of the stairs to the basement and end up with 3 bag fulls getting in my way before I realize "oh right, take these to the drop off. get them out of your house!!" i've had issues with feeling this way too. "no i can't throw that out, it's still theoretically useful, i don't want to generate more waste!" the perspective that really helped me on this one was: you already generated the waste. you're just storing it in your house instead of the landfill, which is temporary and helps no one

DELETE CASCADE posted:you already generated the waste. you're just storing it in your house instead of the landfill, which is temporary and helps no one you could reuse those grocery bags to hold trash for a day or two instead of buying dedicated bags. unless you live in new york where the plan is to use those dedicated bags to accumulate waste where there's foot traffic
