Conclusions about Humans

Humans are so simple minded it's ridiculous. Like honestly, it amazes me that we know how to breathe properly.

At the A&P for the lovely four hours I'm there during week days I get to greet different faces approximately every seven minutes of so - and it's a new story for every single one of them.

First off, about 3/4th of the customers can't read. If you were to see a button with the sign "CREDIT" right next to it, would you think it was for credit? Well apparently us cashiers aren't specific enough; for it takes on average, two to three attempts for our customers to finish their payments properly.

Secondly, do customers understand ratios? If you want all your items to be placed into one bag and then have that bag doubled again wouldn't it just make sense to split up your items into just two bags? Don't hurt yourself there buddy.

Next, when a cashier has their light off with no bags on the register and is cleaning it down with no one else around, do you think we are open for you to check out? Ponder on that one as I get my stuff and leave.

And my favorite - price checks. It's as if customers think we are demons that run around the store and mix up the prices and coupons just to screw with their heads - ugh our secrets out. So about once a week I get the lovely customer that has these obscure idea in their head, and the second the item says $4.99 instead of $3.99 all hell breaks loose and I get screamed at for something I can not control. I am simply a cashier - I scan your chips and bananas; I am not God of the A&P.

Welcome to my lovely job.
