Wah~~~~~ after experiencin a cashier's day, admin job can never be simpler! If u feel tt being a cashier is no kick, i'll advice u to think twice. Erm.. maybe thinkin alone is not even enough, u'll have to experience it urself! Y complain bout sittin on a comfy chair all day long when all the cashiers have is the small area of floor to STAND on? For full-time cashier, the amt of time spend on work is almost the same as those workin in the office. The only diff is tt for all the time the office ppl spend sittin down, the cashiers are standin up. Not to mention the 6-digit code tt we have to know for the all the fruits n veggies... for cold storage (FYI, ppl likes to buy fruits n veggies at cold storage so it's no longer the easy scannin job tt i assumed) The cashier whom i was learnin from today needs to work from 10am to 10pm. poor thing. n it's suppose to be quite a long term daily thing unless cold storage manage to recruit more full-time cashier.
Today within the first 7hrs of work, all the cashier had for break was jux a 15min one, not even a proper 1hr-noon-chit-chat-lunch break because the customers jux keep flowin in. n yes! Flow is definitely a gd word to describe the customers as well as the items scanned n packed considerin the quantity n speed of things come n go. Fast-paced sia~ we shld really respect cashiers. dey truely worth every little bit of it esp those workin in jelita cold storage.
Out of the 100% shoppers in jelita cold storage, ard 80% are westerners n dey usually have a habit of doin grocery only once a wk so u can imagine how much things dey've bought! the transactions are usually over $100. -_-" I was stunned. n dey sure have multiple ways of payin for the bill includin some extraordinary ones. The no.1 place for funny ways of billin in a supermart definitely goes to usin a CHEQUE. -_-" I was stunned again. Durin one of the transactions, the lady jux took a cheque bk out n started writin a cheque for the counter in the supermart. Now i still feel tt it's quite amazin. At one pt of the day, the cash box even happens to have over $2k in it! wah! -_-" I was stunned again again. Today for the whole day at work, i kinda feel tt i'm livin in another world, the World of Cashiers~ 0_0''
once again.... being a cashier in a supermart esp those mega ones is definitely not for the faint hearted. hai. but who cares? haha... i jux like to be a cashier! as someone says 'The important things were never easy. That was what made them important.' i totally agree with tt.
GO CASHIER GO!
