I only lasted a few months at my cashier jobs. I haven’t worked since 2012. I was unloading trucks at Walmart and I got tired of it after about five months.
I worked at bed bath and beyond for my second job over 15 years ago or so. They trained us to do various positions including cashier. I hated being a cahsier and dealing with money.
I thought it would be easier to deal with dollar tree since it’s quieter and smaller. Most people pay cash or with a card. I don’t think people use checks anymore, which is good.
As a customer, I’ve seen people that are terrible with change like not counting it back or struggling. The machine does everything these days. Most of the terrible folks work at the gas stations in my opinion though…
Supported employment sounds great.
Dealing with customers can be frustrating and a challenge! Maybe you can do a different position or something? Don’t feel so unsure of yourself.
Thanks. The place I’m at has cashiers do the stocking as well. We also clean at the end of the shift. This is because only 2 people work at a time. So it’s super busy. @Anthony1337
When I worked at a gas station, 2017-2020, I worked midnights, always worked alone. It was so taxing on my mental health. I still have to deal with customers sometimes at my current job, but at least it’s not nearly as much, not to mention the only time I’m alone is early in the morning before the staff starts comIng in or late at night after they all leave.
