For your Sake:

Remember that the Cashiers do not make any company decisions therefor do not yell at them for company policies if you really want to relieve you anger talk to a store manager or even better ask for the number to the corporate headquarters.

The cashier light: I haven't seen a supermarket with out light's to indicate whether a register is closed or opened. It's a simple thing to understand...if the light is on the lane is opened if the light is off the land is closed.

In a rush? Everyday people come to the supermarket in a rush. These customer's are stupid to think that they can get out of a supermarket in a flash. If you do not have the time to shop then don't!! With one flick of a light bulb the lines in supermarket can turn into ones you see at an amusement park!!!

Fruits and Veggies: The little plastic bags located in the produce department are there to protect your produce from getting dirty or acquiring germs. And also it makes the register a mess for the next person....don't be selfish thing care about the next person!Any unwrapped produce should be put in the bag. Just think about how many things go the conveyer belt that your going to place that food on before you check out. Everything from dog food to detergents to meat blood! Do you like eating this stuff? I know I don't! If you have quantities of a vegetable wrap them in the same bag so the cashier can ring them all up at once w/o searching for any others.

Would you like Paper or Plastic? I bet you have heard this question many times, I know I said it way too many times! If you have a lot of heavy things I suggest you use paper, but for light things use plastic and save some trees! the best way to go is when the cashier asks say "Use both for the heavy things but for the rest you can use plastic." Oh also I heard enough stories about how those plastic ones ripped in your driveway and all your food went all over or how they don't make the bags like they use to and how the food goes all over your car with plastic bags so do not bother telling me just telling me your story just say you want paper....Thank you!:)

Conveyer Belt: Just remember one simple thing...THE CONVEYOR BELT MOVES!... do not place anything other than groceries on the conveyer belt...not your hands, not your purse, not your glasses, and definitely not your MONEY!!!! When some one does lose something on the conveyer belt they always feel its the cashiers fault...Its not!!! Why should we be blamed for your stupidness?? Technology has changed now in most supermarkets the belt is operate by sensors. It stop when items are on the front of the belt but small object sneak past the sensors therefor the cashier does not control its movement!
�����Another thing is you should always separate your order from the other persons order. At least five times during my shift do I ring someone else's stuff on to the person's order I am checking out. I'm to busy scanning the items it is impossible for me to remember when a customers order ends and another begins. If you don't see a devider ask the cashier for one and if he doesn't have one make sure there is a big enough space between the orders to distinguish a separation. Don't blame me if this happens to you its your own stupidity.

Rejects: Rejects are items that a person picked up but no longer wanted by the time they got to check out. Most customers put these items back any in the wrong place and this looks awful and creates more work for the store employees. If you have a reject it would be nice if you put it in the right place but I know your not going too. But I think you can handle at least waiting to hand it to the cashier then he will put in the proper place. The cashier would rather you hand it to him then to have to take it from the wrong shelf!

Giving Change: One thing you fellow shoppers should know is it does not make it easier for you to give the cashier change instead of breaking a dollar if it is going to take you 10 minutes to get the change!!! Save the change then turn it in to a bank or use those new counting machines at the supermarket to get an extra "bonus" at the end of the month or year.
Also do not come to the register and try to pay a whole $10.00 bill with change. It takes too much time for the cashier to count, generating long lines that everybody hates.

What did you call me? I never thought I had so many names until I started working at a supermarket. I have been called so many different things it is unbelievable. I had people call me: honey, babes, kid, dude, son, sunny, etc. My real name is on my name tag!!! You do not have to call me these ridiculous things I'm not your son, your baby your kid or anything else I have a name and if you want to call me by something use my real name!!! How would you like if I said to you "would you like paper or plastic dude?" or "How are you doing babes?" I do not think you will like it and I know I don't so just use my name or nothing at all!!!

• Put all the heavy things on the belt first.
• Put all perishables together and all produce together. Especially if you want them in the same bag!!!
• Put all crushables last so they do not get crushed!!!
