Is it? We take payment in whatever denomination its offered.
They chuck me on without any real training so ive took forged notes and allsorts without knowing! Keep asking to be trained but they are doing away with the cashiers service so wont train any of us! They just chuck us on and hope we balance!
did he get anything nice?
Only some champagne.
Why would anyone queue up outside a shop just sos they can be the first ones in, at such an ungodley hour.
Today 23 Dec has been a very strange day, and a very pleasant one aswell
First of all, sales for 22 Dec was £490,000, £10,000 short of the £500,000 mark, now the targe tfor the 23 Dec had to be revised, as we were very quite, and as our manager put it, where are the customers, he recons we will take just under £400,000
Today at the till we had one customer plus one, where as 22 Dec it was one customer plus 7-10, and you wertent ablke to move freely round shop, where as today, you could, and even count the customers
Customers realy friendly and chatty for a change, only one gripe, as we were about to close, an asian came to one of the checkout, with 100 loafs reduce to 1p each, and 50 cakes reduced to 1p each...now I wonder what he going to do with them all
Now at home, relaxing with my feet up
He came to my store next, bought two fish, and then fed several thousand.
Yes sometimes its children or people in wheelchairs etc. but the vast majority of time its adults not looking where they are going.
Also it is so annoying when people ignore closing signs on checkouts. We have homes to go to aswell and we don't actually get paid for the extra 10 minutes or so after the time we are supposed to have finished.
Im back on Wednesday
I'm not back until the 2nd January. The joys of being on the sick.
I went in yesterday to get my shifts and the place was heaving. I was glad I wasn't there as I really don't have the energy atm.
In other words you are clueless so they ask another member of staff hoping the item magically is in stock.
All the time, customers just dont trust us and think we are lying, and thatif they ask another colleaguegthey will magically make an item appear out of thin air.
Only released (this is the same guy who'd robbed the place already during the week and pulled a knife out) to rob the place again on the next day (Christmas Eve).
No doubt Head Office'll want to know WTF's going on at the one I work at due to lack of customers and the thefts.
Winds me up more than it probably should haha!
I hate this too!
Hahaha I sooo want to, but I'm too scared!!
Another change related one is, say the total comes to £10.37 and they hand you a £20 note. Then they wait til you've just about got their change together when they go "Do you want the 37?" No, I've counted your change out now, bugger off!
Yeah it's one of my pet hates too even worse though is when they throw the money on the counter at you.
All day, all we had was bored students, bored schoolkids and bored families, schoolkids and students just arsing about, throwing stuff about giggling and snorting at each other trying stuff on, photographing it on their phones, told a good few get the fook out, and a happy new year.
If they are that hungry they should eat before they leave the house, not stuff their faces while they are doing their shopping.
I just think its nasty and bad mannered, and technically they havnt paid for what they are eating.
What checkout operater wants to pick up a mars bar wrapper and scan it after someones slobbering chops have been all over it. :mad:
Thats if they even go to pay for it, quite a lot of the time you will find empty wrappers around the shop and people havnt paid for them
