If there is one thing I have learned about being a cashier, it is this:
You do not want to be the cashier between a customer and his purchase before 8am on a Monday morning. When the line is too long, or the price seems a bit high because the cashier forgot to discount your plant that is 50% off, please do not take out your Monday morning rage on your cashier.
Again: Being a cashier is not for the faint of heart. You must be strong.
Unless you are a barista giving that same customer his morning cup of coffee. That cashier is forgiven for anything, but a hardware store cashier...? It's over. He hates you forever.
You're wrong Ali... the Barista is never forgiven for anything. I know of a Starbucks customer who was accidentally given a size larger but only charged for the smaller size...Long story short.. the customer was so outraged that he pulled into a parking spot after going through the drive thru, got out of his car, threw his beverage into the store window, opened the door and yelled "YOU HAVE A MESS TO CLEAN UP OUT HERE!!!!" Baristas are never forgiven. I've had three years experience with never being forgiven... Anyone in a customer service position is never forgiven for anything that goes wrong.
