My Job
If you remember back in Febraury, I got a job at a local grocery. I am a cashier. I like the job. Its pretty good pay for a teen, 6.20. Most teens make mininum wage which is like 5.50. I like most of the workers. There is a head cashier who gets on my nerve sometimes. She is a very impatient person and organized person but I am starting to get along with her better.
I enjoy being a cashier. I do have a couple of pet peeves though. You might think this is wrong but it just my opinion.
I do not like it when people use a check to pay for the groceries. It takes to long. Way to long. One time the Head Cashier who gets on my nerve sometimes came to look at a check and immediately called the manager because she thought it was bad. And the lines got really long because she argued with her and the manager. I also don't like how long it takes, because I have to write down the drivers license number, their birth date and I have to put it in a printer thingy. I wish they would just get a debit card. Of course there is one bank that doesn't have a debit card so I don't mind their checks.
Another one is not helping bagging. My store has really low prices. It is because we don't hire any baggers. So we expect the customers to bag for themselve. But most of them never do. We are about to hire baggers and raise prices to what Krogers and Meijes do or we will charge them if they don't bag themselves. So often times I am bagging all their stuff.
All the co-workers are really nice and friendly. My store hires mainly people who are teenagers not adults. They think it makes for a better enviroment. The new people that we just hired are annoying though. We have hired about 7 new cashiers in the last month. Tomorrow though is the first day when we go back to cashiers hired in the winter work together and the new ones work on a different today, like today and Friday. We get all the hours this week and they are only working 2 days this weeks. Meanwhile one cashier and I are working five days this week.
But its been pretty nice on the job.
