Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
Well since everyone is posting up their cashier stories I might as well post mine. I once was a cashier for a large conglomerate with the initals of WM. And we used to have all these contests every month where the fastest cashier got $100 or w/e. on my 2nd month there I basically figured out all the tricks to being a cashier and how to basically trick the system, the computers, and the registers. You would be rated by like items per hour and I was consistently having 600-700/iph items scanned when the next quickest person had about 150. So that was good for an extra $100 bucks a month and left eveyone basically scratching their head at why I was the fastest cashier in the country :-). but really the system was flawed and there was a way to cheat it.
As for funny customers this one is good. When you start you have to memorize all these retarded vegetable codes like #0114 for zuchini and #4356 for plums etc... so i rang up a whole group of vegetables in a row for a lady, and got to the bananas and just froze up and forgot the number. theres no stickers on them so I pull out my trusty lil plastic sheet of pictures + UPC codes. and the lady tells me "They are Bananas". lol! as if I have never seen a banana in my life and I was looking at a sheet to figure out what it was called.
I really hated that job, got promoted to a CSM, then I quit. on the plus side I used to get 2-3 numbers a week from girls I would flirt w/ who came through my line.
