The Cashier Who Wants To Punch Customers In The Face
(image via wikimedia)
I’m not sure what cashiers are called anymore. Back when I was a kid, the person who ran the check-out lane (or cash register) was the cashier, but I know that terminology changes over time.
If cashier is the wrong word, you can let me know what the correct term is. I won’t change the wording in this blog post, but I’ll know for future reference. Even though I’m a reasonably intelligent person, I have huge gaps in my knowledge.
Anyway, that’s not the point. This particular person who runs a check-out lane at a local grocery store wants to punch customers in the face. It’s a threat I take seriously. In the video below, I explain my dilemma. And I use the word cashier.

I’ve worked check-out, and there were frustrating days. Most customers were cool. However, I kept my mouth shut on difficult days. There were a few customers that attempted to deliberately frustrate cashiers–even to the point of saying, “Have I pissed you off yet?” I think this cashier was just venting. Reporting this to his/her manager would result in job loss.
Yeah, I’m not a snitch. I just hope no customer gets punched in the face… unless the customer really deserved it.
