oh my god

[Ivve]

because it's a brainless moron job? idk

[Conrad]

uh...

I'm a cashier...........

I thought you were a security guard

[Howard Roark]

idk the comment sorta struck me wrong

and when were you a cashier? 20? I'm 28... it's different

I see the looks in peoples' eyes, they don't know about my student loans from the university courses, I know they assume I'm some GED schlep, I hate it


I may as well be a self-checkout for all the recogniztion I get, this job is harder than people realize and the lack of respect really pisses me off, they act like they're too good to respond to me when I say "have a nice day"

and no

[Conrad]

Oh.

2 more years and I'll be assistant cash manager, with a fat 1.00 raise, although minimum wage goes up to 10.00 in 2010 so I'll still be making a dollar over minimum wage.....

I really resent 'shit tier', I'm way better than stock boys, at least I do math -- half the time I don't even need to look at the readout to figure the change

[Ivve]

sorry bro, the vast majority of cashiers fit into that category. i didn't like it when people were uppity either, but if you're a cashier seriously giving people the side eye over their purchases, you can go to hell. not you howard, just in general

[Rocl]

I say ""you too"" whenever the cashier says something to me, assuming they're just saying "Have a nice day"" so

[Rocl]

but really I love cashiers

it's a boring job, all I do all day is stand on my feet (god my back gets sore) and all I see are people and their purchases, so yeah I judge people, what else am I gonna do?

I don't even try to hide my smirks when guys are uncomfortable buying pads for their wife or teenagers buying condoms like I'm gonna arrest them. Those are the best, I look over at this 50ish chainsmoker chick, she's my best friend at work and we air high-five each other. It's sad I know but it's the highlight of my day to make someone else's worse

[Rocl]

air fives with elder women are pretty badass not gonna lie

[Howard Roark]

her name is Nancy and one of these days I'm gonna have to give her a drunken romp after a 16 hour day

[Blarg]

I only know of 1 place that has self checkout and I never used it because I figure the first time I try I will be slow at it and I will have to make excuses to everyone waiting for me to finish up, those eyes of theirs judge me

[Ivve]

that does sound pretty sad

[Shiroikage]

But who will I be awkward with if I use self checkout?

[Conrad]

But who will I be awkward with if I use self checkout?

There's other people in Saskatoon?

[Ivve]

But who will I be awkward with if I use self checkout?

you can go home and be awkward on yahoo chat with a porn bot!

[Shiroikage]

No, I am talking about when I take my dogsled to buy provisions.

[Conrad]

Oh of course.

[Ivve]

a better question is why you have self checkout at the general store/outpost.
