I remember my first job a customer is all like this is the last time u serve me when I was being so nice and everyhting right -__- PLus I just started working in a diff job and omg this people can be rude I'm just like damn I thought everyone was nice and stuff silly me -__- Cashier is not the best job for me
i work for costco and everyday i get so many customers saying "oh i only came in for one item and ended up getting all this" and they start laughing so i have to laugh too but in my head i'm straight up ANNOYED!
I work at a small grocery store/ gas station in the middle of a hick town and everyday there is a smelly old redneck in the store buying bananas saying he has to get bananas to feed his monkey the last ones where to long he choked on them
I work for TGT and I know how u feel. I agree with u. Little words can change ur whole day! There's lots of idiots out there! People who pisses my off are those who r on the phone then they take their receipt without saying thank you!!!! Love when people say "happy holidays and god bless u " I
I love this video. I understand you 100%. Working retail sucks balls man. I'm always nice to customers too, but I always get that asshole sooner or later. I can't stand when a customer doesn't read a sale sign correctly then get mad. Or when they wait until the whole transcation is over to tell me the price didn't ring up right. I didn't realize how rude and nasty people were until I started working in retail.
an when she thought i wasnt listening she wispers these people shakin her head2 the man even though she had not one thing too do with it and was the dumb ass who had no freaken clue what was going on i shouldve called her a bitch and walked away btw people say that too me too that oh you were hiding from me or if something is not scaning oh its free then,, if somthing wont scan they say it doesnt like you i hate that 1 the most i just fake laugh cuase after hearing it10times a day ur fedup
she had no clue what was going on and butts in i told her no it was not my fault he never gave me the cpons and the first thing i told the man was i was getting the manager too do a return so she didnt know one thing that was going on and yelled at me she didnt even know the man eathier she was just being a snotty little bitch and had no patience the worst part is those people think that just cause im a cashier im stupid and dont have feelings and can yell at me for no reason
srry couldnt finish cuase of the charcacter amount anyhow i told him that he must do a return but because he paid it was too late to ring out the coupons and the other lady behind him was arguing wit me and she endend up not even knowing what was going on at the end she said why dont you just get the manager then, my response yeah that was ther first thing i told the man i was just trying too explain why i cant do a return and she kept saying it was my fault for not scaning thecpouns
yeah we work hard and i agree with everything ur saying the custmers think they know everything and yell at me and then i am practaly in tears the reason i looked this up is cuase today a women who has nothing to do with what was going on and just standing in line yelled at me and gave me adotude when she had nothing to do with what i was trying to exp[lain to the custmer what happend was i already checked out the custmer and he paid then said i didnt give you my coupons so i told him he
Or you can do this, understand that any 'mean', persistent,repeditive or obvious, person, and joker in question could be a secret shopper. If you treat it like that, your skills in cashiering and customer service will improve.
If you be honest, give customers an inch under policy, and they take a yard, do what it takes to the fullest extent. Remember that if a slow transaction occurs, it's nobody's fault, it's simply a communication problem, if you weren't trained well, ask for more help.
I work at a grocery store and my boss is a chinese fella, i honestly hate going to work like seriously i would need at least a fucking book to write everything i hate about being a cashier. I hate the same routine every goddamn day that i work, same costumers, same products, same jokes, same voices arrgggh! One thing i can tell you that i hate the most is that people would always try to give you the exact change even if it's lets say 4.99 they give 99 cents in change, i mean thats ridiculous lol
I'm stuck in a dead end job at a grocery store all because I quit school. Kids please don't drop outta school you will regret it everyday. I'm going back to school trying to change my life.
@millerhighlife2112 You're lucky you atleast got a job, where I live, it isn't even guaranteed that you get a job, even if you finish school with good grades.
lmfao they really do tell the same damn jokes! Like I don't have a name tag yet so they constantly go, "Hello new team member" ...lmfao..or if there is a problem with a price sum1 will go "it's free" and laugh lmfao..they think it's genius...I've heard it soo many times and laugh as if it's soo funny everytime -___-
My personal favorite...me: ur total is 9.98. Customer: *Takes out .98* theres the easy part. Really?!?! U just gave me .98 IN CHANGE...u couldnt just give me the damn dollar. I start target orientation tomorrow. Pray for me!
I'm a new cashier, just finished my CBL's lessons, only 2 days on the cash register, I feel fine, but I hope not to make any major mistake this first month.
One of my favorites is when you are dressed in full company garb while stocking the shelves in the yogurt section and a customer walks up and says, excuse me do you work here... If I could my response would be, Nope I just didn't have anything better to do on this fine Sunday afternoon so I through on an apron and came to my local grocer to fill the yogurt.
I NEED HELP. I just got fired because of balancing issues T.T but seriously, I always make sure that I give the good amount of money to the people but still, I got fired cause my balancing is not regular.. WHAT CAUSES BALANCING ISSUES and do you have any tricks ?
@MissPatatee well if you got fired for balancing issues, it either means that at the end of your shift your register was short or over a couple dollars. Did Target warn you about the issue? The best way to make sure you don't go over the amount is to give out the desired change, but count it in front of the customer. It's a good way to double check that you are giving out the correct change, so then you'll stay more consistently balanced in the register.
@MinkTV500 holy shit i just wtached your video, i work at target it has its decent moments, but its money tho, but i really hate it after getting the "reshop" or "returns" and pushin them out im in electronics/toys/sproting/home imp and hate it but on xmas eve i did cashiering and was tired and it was bit warm since i kept bagging shit and some lady and me talked about water and how hot it was and she bought me a water and said happy christmas and that shit put smile on my face lol
Today was my first day of training and I'm really nervous. Were you nervous at first. How can I calm my nerves. Also, how can i make small talk with people. Idk lol. Im not much of a people person. But I'm trying to be.
@Rutgerschiefs You'll be fine. Just take it one day at a time. Your workers are key to your success..they will help you out when you need it. Never be afraid to ask questions. Talking to customers is easy. Just say something like, "Hi, how are you today?" Some customers will talk more than others. Just smile and be confident and everything will flow perfectly.
here's another stupid joke you most likely hear all the time, i do as well ( i also work in retail)... you're just at your register with no customers, and someone comes up and says, "are you just waiting for me?" ARRRGG!! i just wanna be like "shut the fuck up!! no im not waiting for you, why are you so frickin special??" that's one repetitive line that really irks me
I agree with you sir. As a supervisor, I also have to cashier and more then half the time the costumers are inconsiderate and rude. They don't care about how your getting paid minimum wage and work your ass off. They will trash the store and bitch about how you don't have what they want. Retail is a hard gig, but the jerks who give us hell are probably more miserable then we are.
I've worked in retail since my first job. I hated it then. I still do now (just waiting to get my B.S. degree!)
It's just so amazing how STUPID customers.. I mean "guests" (Yeah, I work at TARGET. Lol!) At least, I get one or two people every once in a while who make me forget that I was angry. It's just so amazing how stupid people get me pissed off so easily. The angry ones make me laugh to be honest!
I definitely hated being a cashier! I got so sick of the old joke, "Must be freeHAHAHAHAHAHA!" when an item didn't scan...or "I just printed it off this morning!" when I was checking for counterfeit money. But, I always told myself...better a corny customer than an asshole customer, right? Lol
@AlyssaJaneVolta i really like corny customers actually. they try to be funny and they're usually really sweet (even if they do repeat the same stupid jokes). they're just trying to make conversation. the only customers i can't stand are really bitchy ones.
i hate the ones that talk down to me the most. i know i look like i'm 12. stop calling me "sweety" and "girl" and treating me like a child. especially since you're probably actually younger than i am.
dude this video pretty much sums everything up on how bad it sucks to be a cashier, it wouldnt be so bad if the customers didnt act like assholes all the time, its horseshit!!
you are a jerk. you'll grow up (physically) and continue to act like a self-absorbed ass. You'll do stupid things constantly, while bitching about how OTHER people are stupid. You'll raise "the best kids...they are my LIFE" largely by alternative ignoring and ridiculing them, and instilling your lack of values into their lives. Your vid is a self-centered whine-fest. You need to stop and think from others' perspectives once in a while. You are special and unique...just like everyone else...
@kenfo0 Any other predictions of my future? I kind of find this entertaining I'm sorry. But in all seriousness, this video was not meant to ridicule people. It was out of comedic fun, and basically a truth that cashiers all around experience. There are great people out there, I was just poking fun of a cashier's average day and how nice comments from average people can change the difference if a person has a bad day. Feel free to bash me more though, I really don't mind the criticism.
@MinkTV500 I was spot on, and still am. You whine that you need to be understood, while you bash others. Scary how spot-on I am, isn't it. Run along kiddie, you have nothing interesting to say. Grow up.
@MinkTV500 He needs to get out of his moms basement and get a job.If he had a job he'd know that it revolves around the customer whether they are nice or not.Everyone bitches about the stupid people they deal with at work and has a good reason to.Having a job is stressful.If I didn't have a concience I'd mooch off the government and my family like him.Must be nice sitting on your ass all day doing nothing but watching tv or on the net...
@kenfo0 He's not being self absorbed. Prior to working retail I too thought he was a bit mean for saying some of these comments, but after I finally got to be a cashier I understand him completely. I hear the same jokes constantly from customers and I too get the same customers who say "You were hiding, weren't you. Hahaha!" If you worked retail and heard the same thing over and over and over and over again you too would be annoyed after awhile.
@Sallyallie89 I worked in a restaurant as a kid. I've heard it all. People don't know what to say, and instead of saying nothing, they spit out something trite. It is common. It doesn't make people "stupid". Silence scares people in Western cultures, for whatever reason. My point with this guy is that while a cashier, he will bitch about customers. As a customer, he'll bitch about cashiers. As a trashman he'll bitch about the homeowner, as a homeowner he'll bitch about the trashman....
@kenfo0 It's hard not to complain about the same routine over and over and over again. It's also hard for me to put on a fake laugh for the same jokes all the time. And if silence scares people all one has to do is talk about something, not joke. I once got into a 3 minute conversation about cats because I rang up a lady who was buying a ton of cat food. I'll take a short conversation over repetitive jokes any day. Not saying it's the customer's fault, just repetitive jokes are so old.
@Sallyallie89 "It's also hard for me to put on a fake laugh"....so, don't. One can be courteous w/o being a liar. I bet you've done the same thing you are complaining about. That is what my posts are trying to get at. People look at things only from their own perspective. How many people complain about others' terrible driving, even as they cross the center-line while texting, radio blaring and speeding? (Lot's). best wishes.
@kenfo0 I'm not an idiot. I'll admit when I do something wrong or do something stupid. For example, was shopping one day and by mistake I left my wallet on one of the shelves. So in front of the cashier I told him to give me a minute because of it. I then told him "How stupid of me to leave my wallet on the shelf like that for anyone to grab" ... so I openly admit to my own mistakes too.
@kenfo0 Being unique means nothing, hence my example: 30 years in the grocery business and in the State I work in the company sold all the stores up north leaving 3 in the south which I work in one. Customers who come down for a visit and shop with us say the same thing each and everyone of them. "They sold the store up by my house". Really I work for the company and knew before you. After 3000 times of this comment as if we didn't know you see them as ignorant for failing in common sense.
@hawkerdoo wtf? you don't see anything from anyone else's perspective. It is common today. It is called "selfishness". Most grocery store workers likely do not know a damned thing about what is happening in the company 1000 miles away. People are telling you they like the stores and are sad they closed. In a way they are complimenting you. In return, you whine and mock them. If you don't like your job, go do something else. There is a whole big world out there, and life is short.
@kenfo0 I think you need to stop judging people. You'd be happier with your own life, and you wouldn't feel the need to bash other people about theirs. The only thing you have proved in this entire argument is your ignorance. Look at people for who they are and your life will become a lot more meaningful.
@MinkTV500 DUMBASS: THAT IS THE ENTIRE NATURE OF YOUR POSTS AND VID. DAMN you are stupid. Your entire life is going to unfold as a grocery bagger posting vids about how OTHER people are stupid and annoying and "judgmental". Can't you just STFU already, you long-winded whine-bag?
@kenfo0 "Your entire life is going to unfold as a grocery bagger posting vids about how OTHER people are stupid and annoying and "judgmental"" - That's what I call being an ignorant judgmental prick. Your point is not only weak, but it is also contradictory. FYI kenfo0, I stopped working retail 4 years ago. I photograph and videograph weddings for a living, and I find it so meaningful that I don't feel the need to bitch about it. So you can take your long winded posts and shove it up your ass.
@kenfo0 lol first off the other stores are only 300 miles away and mine was included in the possible sale and we were all informed by corporate, if it were 1000 miles and had no affect on our region then yeah I could see us being left out of the loop. Once and awhile we have one who says I wish they didn't sell the store by my house which makes more sense. 99% of our customers are great and can make small talk without saying something that should be obvious. Stupid people exist you included.
5. I will never understand how guests can unintentionally be so perfectly in the way every single time I try to bring a load of carts inside.
6. Your car can stop a lot faster than my train of carts. Your car has brakes, the cart pusher does not, and a load of 25 carts has a little bit of momentum behind it.
I know there are some other annoyances I can't think of right now. I will update later when I remember them
3. Red Card prompts make me hate life, it is now at the point where it will prompt on any purchase over $20 that is not payed for with a Red Card; I have had prompts on purchases made with a check at amounts as low as $6, it is fucking ridiculous.
4. Dont complain about us having too few cashiers on duty when you choose to stand in line behind 5 people when there is a cashier 30 feet away that is not helping anybody.
I cashier/cart attendant at target and all of this crap is true. I have a few new things to add though too.
1. Shopping carts are not garbage cans, having to pick up all your garbage out of the cart and throw it away before i can bring it back inside is just fucking annoying, and leaving a used diaper in the cart is just fucking disgusting.
2. I have the "how are you doing?" conversation roughly 1000-2000 times per week, it gets fucking old and annoying really fast.
When I ask a customer, "Do you want plastic bags today?" and they say, "Oh yes, I forgot mind in the car" or "I forget them at home"... Just say yes or no, I don't care what your story is, everybody has the same story... I also hate when customers talk about how they came in for only one thing, but they ended up buying all their groceries! I don't care. And when something doesn't scan, and they say, "Must be free!" No, it doesn't work like that... dumbass customers...
My biggest pet peeve is when those fuckers throw the money on the counter. HAND ME THE FUCKING MONEY!!! Like I want to scrape all your pennies up! And people who don't pay attention to prices, when it clearly states on the sign the product and price of said product. Just because you picked up a coffee maker that someone threw in front of a set of towels that's marked 9.00 doesn't mean you get the 50.00 coffee maker for 9.00! People suck sometimes!
As far as the same joke goes, you gotta love the people who joke when you have to mark the bills with the counterfeit marker. They ALL say the same thing, which is "I just made those this morning!" ... It's like "Ha ha ... yeah. You're hilarious. I only heart that like 50 times already since I started working at this place." ... So I once said to someone "Yeah, I hear that a lot" and I think I made him feel like a bit of an idiot haha. I felt kinda bad.
You know whats bad about retail? When your working there long enough to start having those dreams where the manager keeps the store open past closing hours and your the cashier... yup... feels good to get out of there.
Most of the customers I get through my drive thru don't even look at me let alone speak to me. I'm there smiling, telling them good morning and have a good day and they have this "I'm going to kill you" expression as if I've done something horribly rude. Or when you need to ask them to repeat one simple thing about their order cause you weren't sure if you heard it correctly, and they tell you their entire order all over again. Its like dude, I just asked if you said pies or fries.
Or the people that say "oh it must be free" when an item won't scan.....or they say "oh you were waiting just for me weren't you...or you look bored let me give you something to do....I hear these on a daily basis an I'm tired of it, your not funny and your not original
@x28xx28x I've been a cashier for about 6 months, it's easy as shit you slide stuff across the scanner and bag it for 8 hours. WICs are easy only after your 10th check or so, MOST customers are nice but the occasional one will have a little attitude if any, the CSMs never ask you to do something a monkey couldn't do and if it's beyond that they'll do it themselves. Managements nice to you as long as you always show up and have a positive attitude.
I work in a busy grocery store as a cashier. It is by far one of the worst jobs in the world. I always greet people and am nice but every once in a while you get a terrible customer who insists on treating you like shit.
Bagging food sucks... it is by far the worst part of the job. Most of you know the anguish involved with reusable and paper bags.... not to mention the people who are really picky about bagging.. or the people who put the 30 lb. water on the belt so that I have to lift it. Ugh.
i especially hate the people you get when you scan their wine and ur supposed to SWIPE their I.D. on the computer, but nooooooo they have to make a big deal out of it and cuss and say "this is b***sh** do i LOOK under-age??!!!".....gimme a break!!
Screw I QUIT TARGET they suck! No Levis nothing just MERONA CLOTHES and the pay shit it wasnt worth it! I QUIT TARGET they suck! No Levis nothing just MERONA CLOTHES and the pay shit it wasnt worth it And dont forget speed dial ya know how fast we are scanning and then the dumbasses who cant find change BANG rating down to 60 percent. I work customer service too. Screw that. GOOD LUCK TO YOU
I am going to smack the shit out of the next asshole that walks up to my register, and says "you look bored...are you open?"....no I'm fuckin standin' here for my health dumb fuck!!
@lefthandrocker I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE THATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT or " IM GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO" NO I DONT WANT TO SERVE YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE STORE~!
One good way to keep a fake smile is to remember that the customers help to pay our pay checks every week. Trust me, I hate how rude people are these days, but this is how I plan to look at it. I start my first job as a cashier this Friday. I'm sure I'll hate it with a passion, but at least I make a little money on the side while in college.
@jerzeytpke Yeah it's minimum wage for me, but hey it's better than not making anything lol. I got to a point where I just hated relying on other people to hand me money. I wanted my own money.
@Sallyallie89 Well you are right and you do put up with alot of shit but at least you have the pride in knowing you work hard for your own money. Maybe I just couldnt hack it. Best wishes!
@jerzeytpke Oh I definitely put up with a lot. Especially after Black Friday today. What a nightmare. Customers these days are so rude and viscous anymore.
Oh and when you work in a store that soliciates is horrible! They cut your hours if you don't get enough credit cards. And they PUSH-AND PUSH you to get credit cards. Hey-people are starting school and their getting wise enough to NOT get themselves in debt...It's completley unfair that my hours are cut and I'm working just as hard as anyone else but I happen to get customers who don't want a credit card.
I worked at Ross during holiday season, you get some really low class people there. I'm only allowed to show a peice of jewerly to ONE person at a time. This lady had a FIT because she had to wait to see a bracelet. And if it was in a nearby case I'd say "Ok, I'm not suppose to- but I'll show you", but no-it was ALLL the way on the other side where I couldn't see what she may be doing. She walked out yelling she doesn't get no "dam customer service here"...after waiting literally 30 seconds
Adding to my comment: I don't mind the idiot customers. Yeah the jokes are old and stupid, but their intentions are good. I just hate the rude ones. You learn in retail that even if you're nice people don't always return the favor. The public is the most ignorant group of people you will ever meet I promise you that. If you can handle those douche bags than you can handle anything.
It's a horrible job retail is, and the dumb ass old people were always assuming I was just some stupid kid because they're old enough to have established careers...well I'm sorry, but real class doesn't gloat, and you have nothing to gloat about anyway. Customers are morons anyway. They would bitch about stuff that's not even my fault like the price, an item we don't have, or the merchandise they don't like. We'll go f*** yourself I couldn't care less. I just make fun of them later :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they are just trying to be freindly to your sorry ass...you are just are looser without a sense of humor...you should hate your life...and you are not a good man or a man even at that...work is work...suck it up punk
@MinkTV500 To keep the job hell yeah. Front that shyt with a smile... but never sell your soul. Problem "guests"(targets propaganda way of saying "customers") are almost 100% compiled of people who have never worked retail. onece youve worked some fast paced and underpaid retail, you just know what shyt to never say or do to workers.
@razzuberry I'm sure you're not. You're doing your best so don't listen to your ass hole managers. give it some time, and retail sucks anyway. I would know I'm there for a while.
Dude, I start cashiering at my campus bookstore tomorrow. I was looking for a video to help me out a bit... I have got to say that this was a funny and neat video that did the trick. I'll drop by and let ya know how it goes one of these days. Peace.
I work at Walgreens and I hear the "You where hiding" joke at least 5 times a day...I really hate when people hands you a $100 Bill and say "I just made that one hahahaha"...
Rolling & LMAO dude XD!!! thanks i needed this. i totally hear ya on being a cashier; years ago i worked at a wal-mart in my hometown and had some real idiots and crazies come through my line. take those pills kids he he he

Hey so i start my new job at ingles tommorw being a cashier and im so nervous. im worried that im going to do somthing wrong or get fired or not know how to work the cash regerstier or somthing stuiped like that. i guess im just wondering is it hard to do or am i just worrying becaues this is my first job and im 16 and i really dont wanna mess it up
lol im so glad we got rid of the card sucky things, but now there always like pay another way too option n theyre like "What does this mean pay another way too?????????"
ugg i know your pain. Im a cashier at target and i despise when you scan an item and if it doesnt come up, the customer says "oh it must be free"...i just wanna turn off my light and walk out the door...
I was once a cashier and I turned the store out when I got fed up with one of the customers. This one customer came in line and pissed me off because he tired to tell me that he gave me a hundred dollar bill when it was clearly a 20 dollar bill. I told him to take his shyt and go to line 5 and get his shyt rescanned. We exchanged a few curse words to each other. After that I turned my light off, went to management and quit. They begged me to stay but I was so sick of the customers.
Or when people don't use the fucking divider on the belt and assume I can telepathically tell whose groceries belong to whom when they're right next to each other. When I eventually scan the NEXT person's item, the customer says 'Oh thats not mine', and the next customer says 'You can pay for it if you want!" and everyone shits themselves.
When an item doesn't scan, customers LOVE to say 'That means its free!' ahAHAHA NO
hahaha i'm a target cashier too. everything you said is just right. some people think they are so funny and your just like in your head, "shut the hell up!" but what you said about having the hundreds of bad guests, then having that one thats nice, for sure does make me feel better during the day.
loooooool ive heard those jokes too. but all i can do is smile and scream on the inside p.s. i always pay cash at target!! not like we've never encountered malfunctions. If it did happen to stay inside...can you open the card reader to get the card out?
My favorite: when you're waiting for a guest and they say "you look like you're bored". Haha "FUCK YOU!!!!", but of course that would not be fun, fast and friendly lol
I hate how they always forget the 3rd question. I just want to yell at them to paying attention to your fucking screen! Don't look at mine cause it doesn't tell you anything, dumbass!
Oh or even better! They come up to your line and hand you an item (most likely perishable) and say oh I decided I did not want this. Or even better, I already have this at home. Are you serious?! It took you the whole grocery store trip and getting up to the checkout line to tell me you do not want this milk because you had too many?!
i hate when they see u standing at your register light on and all and they are like are u open. no u basterds im just standing here with the light on for no good reason. or the ones who show up to your lane and when u say your close they get pissed off well if u had looked at the light u would have known this so move your ass on to the next cashier. i cant waite til i graduate from college so i can get away from the target hell hole
@apryldee OMG do yourself a favor and find another job or at least an internship in your field of study before you graduate. I graduated in December and I am still looking. Working in retail with a degree makes life about ten times more depressing than being a student working in retail. TRUST ME SAVE YOURSELF LOL : ) seriously though
oh, and let's not forget the "excuse me, do you work here?" no, jackass, red and khaki is trendy now...where have you been? and this name tag i'm wearing that says TARGET below my name? it's what all the scene kids wear nowadays. so no, i do not work here. and i'm only organizing these shelves because i really care about this corporation and want it to attract more shopping scumbags like you so that the CEO can gain another billion dollars he probably doesn't even need. have a nice day.
haha i agree with everything you say 100%. i worked at target for a total of 4 years as a cashier and also survived 4 black fridays. i would like to add a few common occurances you may have left out. when the "guest" says "im spending like $300 and i only came in here for ONE thing!" also, the so called "french version" of saying target...targe' something of the sort. EVERYONE thinks that they came up with saying target this way! how original you must be! shit!
in high school, i did 2 years as a cashier at a supermarket...i have to say...i would rather be dead than having to do that job for the rest of my life...all those rude old ppl piss me off so fucking much...i hate the jokes when something wouldnt ring up and they go "oh its FREE!"..and im like 'haha yeah(kiss my ass)"..its so corny...well im done with that shit..thank god
being a cashier Ive noticed one thing. Dont make eye contact with customers when on your register. The minute you do they will swarm your register. Instead stand in front of a closed register and when they run to it they will realize it is closed.
one more annoying thing when your cashier and u don't have customers at your till for a second then a customer comes and they are like oh u look soo bored here ( not really seriously u all say this and its soo annoying now)
lolss omg this is soo true customers they all say the same jokes and it's soo annoying now like: when something doesn't scan they are oh it's FREE and i'm like hahha yeah ( seriously f u) and when they go to self scan and they screw up they are like oh its doesn't like me ( ok ur just retarded and don't come to self scan again)
For a part time college job and the way the economy is right now, I really cannot complain about my job as a Cashier at Target. It keeps Top Ramen on the table and allows me to go skiiing in my free time. That said, I can always relate to these funny stories and incidents at work. It's okay MinkTV500, let it all out. Black Friday's tomorrow, so i'm sure that's gonna be real fun...
lol im also a cashier n i hateee it when i get ebt people n da card doesnt scan since at our store we dont tyep it in also when they want me to put theyr stuff in theyr cart i alkways say ummm we dont do dat n i never do that

I can't stand when a customer doesn't read a sale sign correctly then get mad. Or when they wait until the whole transcation is over to tell me the price didn't ring up right. I didn't realize how rude and nasty people were until I started working in retail.

Or you can do this, understand that any 'mean', persistent,repeditive or obvious, person, and joker in question could be a secret shopper. If you treat it like that, your skills in cashiering and customer service will improve.
If you be honest, give customers an inch under policy, and they take a yard, do what it takes to the fullest extent. Remember that if a slow transaction occurs, it's nobody's fault, it's simply a communication problem, if you weren't trained well, ask for more help.

MissPatatee 6 months ago
@MissPatatee well if you got fired for balancing issues, it either means that at the end of your shift your register was short or over a couple dollars. Did Target warn you about the issue? The best way to make sure you don't go over the amount is to give out the desired change, but count it in front of the customer. It's a good way to double check that you are giving out the correct change, so then you'll stay more consistently balanced in the register.

I agree with you sir. As a supervisor, I also have to cashier and more then half the time the costumers are inconsiderate and rude. They don't care about how your getting paid minimum wage and work your ass off. They will trash the store and bitch about how you don't have what they want. Retail is a hard gig, but the jerks who give us hell are probably more miserable then we are.

you are a jerk. you'll grow up (physically) and continue to act like a self-absorbed ass. You'll do stupid things constantly, while bitching about how OTHER people are stupid. You'll raise "the best kids...they are my LIFE" largely by alternative ignoring and ridiculing them, and instilling your lack of values into their lives. Your vid is a self-centered whine-fest. You need to stop and think from others' perspectives once in a while. You are special and unique...just like everyone else...

@kenfo0 Any other predictions of my future? I kind of find this entertaining I'm sorry. But in all seriousness, this video was not meant to ridicule people. It was out of comedic fun, and basically a truth that cashiers all around experience. There are great people out there, I was just poking fun of a cashier's average day and how nice comments from average people can change the difference if a person has a bad day. Feel free to bash me more though, I really don't mind the criticism.

@kenfo0 He's not being self absorbed. Prior to working retail I too thought he was a bit mean for saying some of these comments, but after I finally got to be a cashier I understand him completely. I hear the same jokes constantly from customers and I too get the same customers who say "You were hiding, weren't you. Hahaha!" If you worked retail and heard the same thing over and over and over and over again you too would be annoyed after awhile.
Sallyallie89 7 months ago
@Sallyallie89 I worked in a restaurant as a kid. I've heard it all. People don't know what to say, and instead of saying nothing, they spit out something trite. It is common. It doesn't make people "stupid". Silence scares people in Western cultures, for whatever reason. My point with this guy is that while a cashier, he will bitch about customers. As a customer, he'll bitch about cashiers. As a trashman he'll bitch about the homeowner, as a homeowner he'll bitch about the trashman....
kenfo0 7 months ago
@kenfo0 It's hard not to complain about the same routine over and over and over again. It's also hard for me to put on a fake laugh for the same jokes all the time. And if silence scares people all one has to do is talk about something, not joke. I once got into a 3 minute conversation about cats because I rang up a lady who was buying a ton of cat food. I'll take a short conversation over repetitive jokes any day. Not saying it's the customer's fault, just repetitive jokes are so old.

@Sallyallie89 "It's also hard for me to put on a fake laugh"....so, don't. One can be courteous w/o being a liar. I bet you've done the same thing you are complaining about. That is what my posts are trying to get at. People look at things only from their own perspective. How many people complain about others' terrible driving, even as they cross the center-line while texting, radio blaring and speeding? (Lot's). best wishes.
kenfo0 7 months ago
@kenfo0 I'm not an idiot. I'll admit when I do something wrong or do something stupid. For example, was shopping one day and by mistake I left my wallet on one of the shelves. So in front of the cashier I told him to give me a minute because of it. I then told him "How stupid of me to leave my wallet on the shelf like that for anyone to grab" ... so I openly admit to my own mistakes too.
Sallyallie89 7 months ago
@kenfo0 Being unique means nothing, hence my example: 30 years in the grocery business and in the State I work in the company sold all the stores up north leaving 3 in the south which I work in one. Customers who come down for a visit and shop with us say the same thing each and everyone of them. "They sold the store up by my house". Really I work for the company and knew before you. After 3000 times of this comment as if we didn't know you see them as ignorant for failing in common sense.

@hawkerdoo wtf? you don't see anything from anyone else's perspective. It is common today. It is called "selfishness". Most grocery store workers likely do not know a damned thing about what is happening in the company 1000 miles away. People are telling you they like the stores and are sad they closed. In a way they are complimenting you. In return, you whine and mock them. If you don't like your job, go do something else. There is a whole big world out there, and life is short.

@kenfo0 "Your entire life is going to unfold as a grocery bagger posting vids about how OTHER people are stupid and annoying and "judgmental"" - That's what I call being an ignorant judgmental prick. Your point is not only weak, but it is also contradictory. FYI kenfo0, I stopped working retail 4 years ago. I photograph and videograph weddings for a living, and I find it so meaningful that I don't feel the need to bitch about it. So you can take your long winded posts and shove it up your ass.
MinkTV500 6 months ago
@kenfo0 lol first off the other stores are only 300 miles away and mine was included in the possible sale and we were all informed by corporate, if it were 1000 miles and had no affect on our region then yeah I could see us being left out of the loop. Once and awhile we have one who says I wish they didn't sell the store by my house which makes more sense. 99% of our customers are great and can make small talk without saying something that should be obvious. Stupid people exist you included.

5. I will never understand how guests can unintentionally be so perfectly in the way every single time I try to bring a load of carts inside.
6. Your car can stop a lot faster than my train of carts. Your car has brakes, the cart pusher does not, and a load of 25 carts has a little bit of momentum behind it.

I cashier/cart attendant at target and all of this crap is true. I have a few new things to add though too.

2. I have the "how are you doing?" conversation roughly 1000-2000 times per week, it gets fucking old and annoying really fast.

No, it doesn't work like that... dumbass customers...

Just because you picked up a coffee maker that someone threw in front of a set of towels that's marked 9.00 doesn't mean you get the 50.00 coffee maker for 9.00! People suck sometimes!

She walked out yelling she doesn't get no "dam customer service here"...after waiting literally 30 seconds

Adding to my comment: I don't mind the idiot customers. Yeah the jokes are old and stupid, but their intentions are good. I just hate the rude ones. You learn in retail that even if you're nice people don't always return the favor. The public is the most ignorant group of people you will ever meet I promise you that. If you can handle those douche bags than you can handle anything.

It's a horrible job retail is, and the dumb ass old people were always assuming I was just some stupid kid because they're old enough to have established careers...well I'm sorry, but real class doesn't gloat, and you have nothing to gloat about anyway. Customers are morons anyway. They would bitch about stuff that's not even my fault like the price, an item we don't have, or the merchandise they don't like. We'll go f*** yourself I couldn't care less. I just make fun of them later :)

1. itom dosnt scan and guest jokingly replies: "must be free..haha".
what we think behind the smile: eat poisen and jump in front of a fucking truck.
2. 10,000 guests just went through your line ... your the only cashier. And they all ask you how hows it going
your reply "its going good". behind the pain you think: do you want the target truth or the truth truth.

@MinkTV500 To keep the job hell yeah. Front that shyt with a smile... but never sell your soul. Problem "guests"(targets propaganda way of saying "customers") are almost 100% compiled of people who have never worked retail. onece youve worked some fast paced and underpaid retail, you just know what shyt to never say or do to workers.

MyBrooklyn88 1 year ago
I was once a cashier and I turned the store out when I got fed up with one of the customers. This one customer came in line and pissed me off because he tired to tell me that he gave me a hundred dollar bill when it was clearly a 20 dollar bill. I told him to take his shyt and go to line 5 and get his shyt rescanned. We exchanged a few curse words to each other. After that I turned my light off, went to management and quit. They begged me to stay but I was so sick of the customers.

Me - Find everything you were looking for?
Them - AND THEN SOME! ROFL!
Or when people don't use the fucking divider on the belt and assume I can telepathically tell whose groceries belong to whom when they're right next to each other. When I eventually scan the NEXT person's item, the customer says 'Oh thats not mine', and the next customer says 'You can pay for it if you want!" and everyone shits themselves.
When an item doesn't scan, customers LOVE to say 'That means its free!' ahAHAHA NO

Oh or even better! They come up to your line and hand you an item (most likely perishable) and say oh I decided I did not want this. Or even better, I already have this at home. Are you serious?! It took you the whole grocery store trip and getting up to the checkout line to tell me you do not want this milk because you had too many?!

i hate when they see u standing at your register light on and all and they are like are u open. no u basterds im just standing here with the light on for no good reason. or the ones who show up to your lane and when u say your close they get pissed off well if u had looked at the light u would have known this so move your ass on to the next cashier. i cant waite til i graduate from college so i can get away from the target hell hole

@apryldee OMG do yourself a favor and find another job or at least an internship in your field of study before you graduate. I graduated in December and I am still looking.

haha i agree with everything you say 100%. i worked at target for a total of 4 years as a cashier and also survived 4 black fridays. i would like to add a few common occurances you may have left out. when the "guest" says "im spending like $300 and i only came in here for ONE thing!" also, the so called "french version" of saying target...targe' something of the sort. EVERYONE thinks that they came up with saying target this way! how original you must be! shit!

being a cashier Ive noticed one thing. Dont make eye contact with customers when on your register. The minute you do they will swarm your register. Instead stand in front of a closed register and when they run to it they will realize it is closed.

For a part time college job and the way the economy is right now, I really cannot complain about my job as a Cashier at Target. It keeps Top Ramen on the table and allows me to go skiiing in my free time. That said, I can always relate to these funny stories and incidents at work. It's okay MinkTV500, let it all out.
