The only people I know who use rocking chairs are young mothers rocking their babies to sleep!
I worked as a cashier for a few months. It really is a difficult job. You have to be on your feet for hours at a time, and you have to remember how to process EBT, SNAP, WIC, check, cash, credit card, nonprofit tax exemption, university department charge line, etc etc. You have to be careful not to double scan items because then you have to void one and you may need a manager’s key to do that. Then there are all the produce codes that you have to remember. You can look them up, but it takes longer and sometimes someone will put something on your belt that you just don’t recognize and you have to actually ask the customer what it is! And then, when you’re not going crazy with all of this, you have long stretches of time with no one coming through your line, and you’re not allowed to read magazines, have a snack, or do anything that might make you less bored. If you make any kind of mistake they will micro-manage you and put you on mandatory audit and hold you accountable for every last penny. One time a customer handed me a penny that she found on the floor and management yelled at me for being one penny over!
Kol hakavod, Vogue. I didn’t last long in that job; I hope you do better than I did!
