So now this week they did little training yesterday on the actual register & told us a whole bunch of info. So today i had to work on register & so did 3 other kids that were in training with me. It was annoying. I always feel in a rush so the customers won't get dissappointed but i have to do my job right. So yeah it's annoying though all these stupid coupons i have to check & WIC & rain checks, so sometimes they don't work & you have to call front end managers to come help & other things & questions. I didn't like it much. I hope i get used to it. I've worked on register before but that was at the mall & it was a lot easier b/c i didn't work with coupons or government discount craps. Just normal discounts & stuff. Also not knowing the name of a veggie or w.e lol. Anyone else work on register in a supermarket & how fast did you get used to it? Or at a register else where with a lot of things to deal with.

It's soo much going on around me.          What's really fun is to comment on what they buy ;) Lol im kinda shy but like at the mall it was easier to make a random conversation about what they bought b/c it wasn't food lol. Give me an example please. Haha, I meant more to bug them than keep them happy. I guess it would be harder with food. I always used to like just kinda comment on something strange or personal people bought. Most just kinda look at you weird it's pretty entertaining. muahzxox3 Posted at 9:40 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from neodymie at 12:28 am on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from muahzxox3 at 9:20 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Lol i don't know what to say to the customers.

After about a week or two, I could move so fast that the customers were like, amazed that I was finished so quickly. You pretty much have to learn to be quick. That's not bad then bewteen a week. I hope i do better tomorrow. I mean i don't think i was slow, i was moderate for my first time there. Some other guy who was in training a week ahead of us was kinda slow. Not coming from me. Coming from some guy who came to my line & i was going to go on break & he told my manager to please ring him up before i go on break b/c he was waiting a while on the other line & then on my line b/c some lady didn't want some things b/c she was short on cash. muahzxox3 Posted at 9:20 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Lol i don't know what to say to the customers. It's soo much going on around me. I hope so. Haha yeah i hate when i scan twice & then i have to void the thing & then it doesn't void im like crap what the hell. The thing i focus on the most though is the money, the cash i get & the change i give back b/c i don't want to be short. If i am 5$ over or short im fucked!!

FiercexMelon Posted at 9:14 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 You get used to it pretty quickly. Soon you will scan items like Speedy Gonzalez. Neodymie Posted at 9:13 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Just gotta talk to the customers then they don't care how slow you are. All 10 previous replies displayed.
