also don’t freak on the cashier when we don’t notice a coupon on that box of food. its not part of our job actually. its we notice it be grateful. a lot (if not all) are judging on speed. i believe walmart does cashier pay raises by speed (measured electronically). our job as of coupons are to use what you hand us.

hints: rubber band your store card/payment card/wallet with the coupons you are going to use. you cant miss it.

thing of payment also. since some are heavily judged by speed, if you are using a check (especially you old ladys) fill out what you can before. date, signed, write dollars at end of check for amount. any notes you want. it makes life so much easier.

The only time I actually get annoyed is whenever the customer(s) get upset with me because I didn’t realize they had laid a coupon on that bar thing for me to use before I hit the debit key (because they’re so quiet about it/don’t mention it/etc.). Then I feel really bad because I forgot it.

But a lot of people have gotten really angry with me over forgetting about said coupon, and I understand why – but calling me names and/or acting as though it is the worst thing in the world isn’t all that nice, either — especially when I already suffer from depression.

–just one cashier’s POV

On the other hand, when we put on a new roof (when we bought the house), the roofer made a point to put in the bid that his guys would clean up the nails all over the place. I know they tried, but I’m still finding nails. And pieces of gutters from this summer’s gutter fixing extravaganza.

But none of that is as ridiculous as what you’re talking about. Sheesh. Laziness.
