Anyone Ever Been a Cashier?

Wow, thanks for all the replies! I really apprechiate all your tips!!

First day went pretty well I guess. I'm having a heck of a time with the machine... so many buttons. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it after a few weeks. Its also really hard to remember all the codes for fruits/veggies but one of the girls gave me a list so I can start to memorize them.

I think after a while I'll start to like my job, its pretty overwhelming at the moment.

Oooh, a grocery store? I've been working there for almost a year. You'd be surprised how fast you learn your PLU's. The only hard thing is that there are SO many types of apples!

Karen, that's one of the things I hate too.
Why can't they tell you, "Just a moment, I've got the change." - Some do, some don't. It's easy, because all you have to do is count up as much as they gave you.

One thing that really peeves me is when they hand you a handful of change and don't tell you what it is. Then you have to sit there and count all of their pennies.

Should never take their word for it anyway..I've had a lot of people say "here is $5 in change" and it's short

No kidding and you have a PLU for each one.
