There’s a certain flow to paying for something. You hand over products to be scanned or tell your cashier what you got, the cashier enters this into the register and tells you your total, and then you hand over the money.

The timing is apparently extremely difficult. Either I get customers shoving a credit card in my face before I have a chance to touch my register, or they spend ages checking every pocket and crevice for their money (bonus points if they manage to do both by pushing a card at me, then realize it’s actually their driver’s license or something).

This is my Harry Potter bookshelf. Five shelves of actual Potter books, and the bottom shelf is books written about Harry Potter. It makes me very happy :)

Top Text: “”I HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR NOT DONATING””

Bottom Text: “I DON’T CARE”]

Every time I ask for a donation, I get a few people with elaborate excuses for why they won’t donate.  I do not care.  Why not just say “thanks, not today,” instead of giving me the long-winded reasons why you can’t spare a dollar?  It’s not as if I enjoy asking.

When customers have to sign the hardcopy, and for some reason, all of your pens got up and walked away.

Top Text: “KIDS IN CART.”

Bottom Text: “KIDS. IN. THE. CART.”]

Grocery store robin here, and I just cannot stand when parents let their four to six year olds sit in our carts. We have seats build in for them to sit in, we have specially made carts (with huge seats or benches attached!) ESPECIALLY for your snotty children, so why they let them sprawl out where the groceries go is beyond me. Kids are to carts as pets are to beds: they will take up every single inch of space they can. And that leaves ME having to CARRY all your shit because I can’t set it on your kid and they won’t move!!! 

And of course the parents think that’s just handy dory. 

I especially hate the kids that sit on the bottom rack of the cart and try to walk/get out/mess with stuff as I’m pulling the cart. Hey, parent, your kid can hurt themselves. Wana make em walk or somethin? 

Kids just don’t mix well with shopping carts.

Top Text: “WHAT PART OF “SELECT METHOD OF PAYMENT”

Bottom Text: “DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?”]

I swear to god, if I had a dollar for every person who can’t be assed to push the “card” button when they’re paying by card at self checkout, I would not have to be paid by my employer proper.

There’s always the little old ladies who come in, ask how much something is, and then act SO SHOCKED when they find out the price. Yes, it’s that price just to make your life harder. We did it on purpose JUST TO PISS YOU OFF.

And then there are the ones always going on about “People can scan your purse and get your credit card number”, “I had to swipe my card again, it better not charge me twice”, and my personal favorite, an old guy who came into my last job at a craft store, put a ball of yarn on the counter, and before I could even say anything, he says “This has no tax.” Okay, rude, but whatever, I put it through, but since it was considered craft yarn and not yarn to make clothing, it DID have tax. Then he went on a tirade about how “You’re working with the governor”…Yes, I’m personally working with the governor to get ALL OF YOUR NICKELS.
