View Full Version : Secrets Of The Cashier!

As a cashier, I will tell you some secrets of the job.:)

1. If you want to pay with your debit card, the payment key you press is ATM, not EBT. A lot of my customers press, "EBT," thinking it's short for DEBIT. EBT is food stamps. I've had countless customers look at me with confusuion when the register askes them about food.

2.PLEASE stop giving me CVS Extra Care Cards. Walgreens and CVS are interchangeble, but we're not THAT interchangeable. :rolleyes: :crazy:

3. If I ask you a personal question, please understand that I don't mean to be rude, I'm just trying to be friendly.

4. The worst time to give me $100.00 bills is when my managers pick up my money, because I am basically broke. The best time to give me $100.00 is when I have a surplus of $20.00, and will be glad to give you my 20's.

5. A mention to the post above. I am sick of the $20s! I see them too much. The only time I want 20's is when lot of people are asking for cash back from their debit.

6. About cashback, the limit in Walgreens is $40.00. It used to be $100.00, but the Walgreens Headquarters limited it to 40.00. When it was 100.00, customers would by a pack of gum for 1.39, and then ask for 100.00 back. Then they'd buy four more of those packs of gum, and ask for 100.00 each time. As you can see, that ended up giving them 500.00. Not good. Now, cutomers don't want to do the same thing for just 40.00 each time. They usuaully stop after two times, giving them 80.00. Good.

7. Please do NOT put your items across my scanner. Always let ME pass your items for you. Because when you pass the items, you run the risk of making me do a void(because of a double scan). Voids are the bane of every cashier. With a void, I have to "erase" what I scanned so that you don't get charged.

8. Total voids. Post voids. I like the total void and post voids. I'd rather have a total/post void than a regular void. Total voids happen when there are too many "voids" to do them one by one. Let's say, I ring up 20 items, and the customer complains that each of those items were on sale, but the register rang them up as regular priced, but there is no coupons for them.(turns out, the register was wrong, and those items were on sale. Do you think I am going to "void" all those itmes one by one? Especially when there is a HUGE line? NOOOOOO!;) I just call for a "total" void, and a manager uses his or her key and total voids the whole transaction. A Post Void means that the manager couldn't make it to void the transaction at the time, so I punch in the exact amount, and keep the receipt until the manager can do the post void. I am never supposed to leave a post void undone, because the register will be short.

9. Reference to post above. I will sometimes need to "price modify" the item to the sale price. PM is basically overriding the item so that you will get the sale price. This is usually done after a regular void. Sometimes, I need a manager's permission to "override."

10. Credit cards. In the Walgreens where I work, if the amount is 25.00 or over, I will need to see your ID, and you will need to sign your name. If the itmes are 24.99 or less, , you do not need an ID, nor do you need to sign your name. If the items are 50.00, I need to write down your driver's license or ID number. About something else, American Express cards sometimes require you to give me your BILLING Zip Code to verify that you are the owner of the card. Please do not give me the zip code where you LIVE if it's not where the bill goes too.

11.Suggestive Sales. If you see me pushing one particular item, that is my suggestive sell. I used to be really agressive and pushy, until my co-workers told me that "begging" people to by my suggestive sales was bad customer service. I stopped "begging" so hard and just casually pointed out the "cheap" item)(my SS;) )

12. Tax. When the total is a bit high, I usually tell the customers why it's a bit high in one word. Tax. They usually understand. But some don't. Some ask"How is there tax on food?" Easy. Candy has tax. Soda has tax. Cake has tax. Cookies have tax. Do you see the patten here? Junk food uslly has tax. But healthy foods tend not to have tax on them. The only junk food that doesn't have tax on it is the 99 cent chips.

I have some more, but I will come back with them later.:)

I have never been a cashier, but one thing i wish people would understand is that just because you are a cashier, doesn't mean you make rules or products. My fiance is guilty of this. He bought me a necklace at a famous jewelery chain, it was a little heart with saphhires on it. Well, I got it for Christmas, and 2 weeks later, one sapphire fell off. I told him and we went to the jewelery store, and they exchanged it for me. So this next one, it took less than one week before a sapphire fell off. Needless to say, we went back, and he started yelling at the poor cashier. I was so embarrassed. I explained to him, she doesn't make any of the rules or the jewelery, she merely sells them and is working under a bunch of people. In other words, if you have a problem with a product, don't yell at the cashier about it. If you feel the need to yell at someone, call the heads of the company, they deserve it more than someone who has absolutely no control over their products.

my dad yelled at a cashier once and said we were never coming back to the place again because the bathrooms were temporarily out of order. as we were leaving the poor lady gave an awkward laugh and told him to have a nice day.

Another good thing to know... I've never been a cashier, but I'm sure they explain this to customers.

If you pay via debit card, press the CREDIT button instead of DEBIT. If you press DEBIT, the bank will put a hold on a certain amount of money in your checking account until your payment clears. This won't happen with credit, and your payment will get cleared in a few days.

I totally hated when #7 (above) happened to me as a cashier. I would tell people, please, let me scan the items. The customers got a kick out of swinging their item across the scanner and it would ring up 3 or 4 times on the cash register. :rolleyes: So guess what? I HAVE TO CALL A MANAGER YOU STUPID, IGNORANT BASTARD BECAUSE I CAN'T VOID OUT MORE THAN ONE ITEM!!!!!!! Two voids or more require a manager and by the time the manager walks to your register, you get a long line of people. While I would wait for the manager, I would tell the customers in line, "Sorry folks, I have to wait for a manager because this gentleman (it was always a man who would do that crap!) scanned his item across the scanner and caused it to ring up more than once. I need my manager to void it out." I loved how the customers would look and glance over at the customer who caused the whole mess. :rofl:

Man, where the hell do these idiots come from? I never heard of people scanning their own items until this thread. Too bad you can't just say "sorry, but since you were foolish enough to scan your item 70 times, you have to pay for it." Or at least tell the person to go back to the end of the line while the manager comes. Ridiculous. Not only does it make you look like a d*****bag, but it makes the people behind you mad and that makes for an awkward moment, lol. Your job as a customer: put the products on the conveyor belt. Cashier's job: SCAN the items

Just like one of my teachers said, The problem with common sense is the fact that it isn't so common anymore.

Yes, that is a great comment abt common sense. ;)

It is true. I don't miss my days as a cashier for that reason above and many more. :crazy: And it was ALWAYS A MAN who would do that sh*t. IDIOTS!
They thought it was fun or funny. That is until they had to wait for a manager to come. Not to mention sometimes it didn't look good on your record since VOIDS were frowned upon.

This is not true every place. None of those foods are taxed in Michigan. Although for pop we do have a bottle deposit. The only food that is taxed here is prepared food, like something hot from the deli.

I never was a cashier but I can tell its not a fun job so:

* I always try to be nice and polite to the cashiers. 99.9% of the mistakes are NOT their fault. And 99% of the time when a pricing mistake happens they are quick to correct it. My understanding is price screw ups are usually the fault of the data entry person who puts in the prices to the computerized system - not the cashier.

*Regarding nutty customers who attempt to do your job by scanning their stuff maybe the store should have a simple sign in large print telling customers not to do this and WHY. The only thing I do, if I have the time, is turn the items up with the bar codes facing.

*I think cash back s/b limited to $20 or $25. You're a cashier not an ATM machine. Every major chain should have an ATM in the store. That's where you go when you need significant amts of $.And/or make a rule that you can only get back up to what you spend. Which takes care of the $1.39 crap business.

*Have a MAJOR problem with merchandise costing lots of $-like the jewelry mentioned above--For something like that I go straight to the mgr. He/she should be aware of the quality breach and may want to do something abt it. Call the vendor who made it, charge them back, consider switching vendors, alert headquarters etc.

lol, i think i'd die laughing if i saw a "please don't scan your own items" sign. i admit there have been a few times when the scanner was so close that i was tempted to do it myself, but i knew it probably wasn't a good idea.

What about at a grocery store when it's busy and all the sackers are elsewhere?

---sometimes I will take the scanned items and start sacking them myself (in the bags right there at the end of the checkout). Some cashiers seem to appreciate it, and some others seem annoyed with me and say "oh, I'll do that".

I dont think i'd be annoyed by that. I have done that several times, mostly when i have a large amount of items, but it's not to be rude, i just feel since i'm not doing anything while he/she is scanning my items, i'll go ahead and sack my things to save time and give them a break. As long as you're not in the way and messing up the cashier, i dont see why a cashier would have a problem with it.

Same here. The store I visit doesn't have a problem with me doing it. But, ever since my daughter started working at our local grocery store, I haven't had to bag anything since they all know who I am and they make sure someone bags my stuff. ;) My daughter is a bagger at the store. Many times they are short-handed because someone called in sick. Sometimes they have the baggers doing other things like getting carts from the parking lot or helping customers out with their groceries. My daughter will sometimes be asked to take charge of the floral department or work in the bakery section. They have more jobs than being a bag person.

I'm glad. It makes work go by faster when you are asked to do different jobs. I for one had to hold the door for 8 hours each day i went to work. Never multi-tasked. Just held the door. Needless to say, i quit.

I've never had an adult try and scan things. I have had kids want to scan their own candy bars or something, I didn't really mind it too much. I did have a couple little kids want to scan a book or a toy that was already theirs. I would just let them wave it over the scanner and then I would make a beep nosie myself. :lol:

Wow that's rude of her. Even if I did feel it was personal, i'd just say "oh i wish i'd win" or something like that. If someone is being nice to you, you shouldn't snap back and be mean. Its called the golden rule. A lot of people seem to be walking around with logs up their ass and it's great to see people who are happy enough to make conversations with others in the job setting. We need more people to look happier when they are working, not looking like they are in concentration camps.

I'm the same way, Sarah. I like just a friendly hello, thank-you, you're welcome, and have a nice day. I take it a step further. When a cashier is talking to me, the bagger or the cashier next to them, it distracts them from their job. Those items that they're scanning are, essentially, my money. I've told many a cashier to please focus on the task at hand. I'm always polite about it, but I do tell them. After the transaction/money part is over with, I often make a comment about the weather or the store being busy or not, but no, I'm not there to make friends.

11. I do not like being yelled at when something is on sale, and the register is not registering the sale. A lot of customers yell at me, "it's on sale!" in a rude voice. :rolleyes: I usually just price modify it to the sale.

12. Petty change. When you are short a penny, I will put that penny in the register, because lots of customers leave their pennies behind, and that leaves change for short-changed customers. :) For example, Bill's change was $5.01. Bill says, "Keep the penny," and walks out of the store. Sara comes along, and her total price is 7.99. She only has 7.98. I tell her, "No problem," and put 7.99 on the register, because Bill already gave me an extra penny. I also might use Bill's extra penny if Sara's bill was 7.01, and she had 8.00. She doesn't want a whole bunch of change, and I don't want to give her a bunch of change either. I would just put, "$8.01" in the register, and give Sara a dollar back.:) Before I was a cashier, I assumed that cashiers just paid the difference out of their own pockets.:crazy:

13. Contrary to popular belief, a cashier does not have to stand there and be completely insulted and disrespected and smile. I am allowed to stand up for myself if a customer is completely degrading and belittering me. I can't tell the customer, "Go F$*& yourself," but I can politely ask them not to speak to me that way. Or, I can call the manager to politely escort them out of the store. I've had instances where I compleetely let customers give me unneccesary verbal abuse,(a couple of customers have called me stupid) and one customer even threw an item that he didn't want anymore at me. I just let them get away with it. My co-workers told me that I didn't have to take it, and could have politely stood up to them.

14. Customers are VERY dense at times. A lot of customers see me with the Walgreens uniform on, and ask me if I work there!:eek: :rolleyes: What a dumb question.:rolleyes:

15. About the uniform. I may not take off part of my uniform so that customers can't tell that I work there. Without the blue shirt that says, "Walgreens" on it, I am just wearing a black shirt with black pants. It just becomes a regular outfit. I've wanted to do this many times, but it is listed as a big no-no in the store office.

16.Tobacco sales. In my store, there is a sign that says, "If you appear to be under the age 40, Walgreens requires ID for all tobacco sales." Customers get a kick out of that. It's a big cionversation starter in lines. Many customers thinks that sign means that if you are under 40, you may not buy tobacco. But that's not what it means at all. It just means that you need ID if you appear to be under 40. I think Walgreens is being too overprotective(and slightly ridiculous) to have that sign posted. It should say, "If you appear to be under the age of 18, you need ID for tobacco. I've had cutomers get angry(esppecially the people in their 30's) when I ask for ID. My managers say that if you can easily tell they're in their 20's and 30's, just sell them the tobacco without ID. But make sure you are really sure they are able to buy tobacco. If not, ask for thier ID. And, by the way, I have to punch in your birthdate to verify your age in the computer.

17. ID. Please DO NOT give me your ID while you are wearing sunglasses. I marvel at the customers who give me ID for tobacco sales and credit cards, but are wearing sunglasses in person.:rolleyes: :eek: I politely ask them to take off thier sunglasses so that I can verify that picture in the ID is the same person in front of me. I'm surprised no one has gotten really upset that I asked them to take off their sunglasses.

And how you paid for an item determines what type of refund you'll get back. The cash registers tell me what type of refund the customers get with no receipts if it says merchandise certificate that is mailed to you takes 5-10 business days. Again don't get an attitude with me about it your the one with no receipt, if you have a beef with it call Corporate I have no control over the registers I can only do price override if something was mis-marked. Also I can't give you money back because you can't find anything in the store you like! If you paid with credit/debit you'll get that credited back into your account, also if you paid with cash you'll get cash back IF you have a RECEIPT. Just saying "well I paid cash!" isn't proof AND don't ask me "do I look like a thief ?" when I still tell you no or have to get a manager to settle it you just proved to me that yeah you tried to get over.

[QUOTE=Janice Johnson]11. I do not like being yelled at when something is on sale, and the register is not registering the sale. A lot of customers yell at me, "it's on sale!" in a rude voice. :rolleyes: I usually just price modify it to the sale.

I had one guy a few years back yell really loudly, "those are supposed to be 3 for $5.00!" Well the rude way he said it made me assume that the items rang up wrong, but when I looked at screen I saw that they were ringing up correctly! I said "that's what they are ringing up at" through clenched teeth. He could have politely asked me to check if they were ringing up right instead of abruptly barking at me like that, or he could have looked at the screen himself. :rolleyes: There was no reason he had to such a jerk.:mad:

When I am in a grocery line and the person in front of me has coupons for the INCORRECT products and they waste time trying to show the cashier they are right, but they are WRONG! The poor cashier has to show the product is not the correct size or product and the customer looks at the coupon, looks at the product, looks again at the coupon...as if the cashier is going to lie. :rolleyes:

walgreen's emergency contraceptives cost a fortune-LOL

Can someone tell me why Walgreens (and various other stores) are locking up their contraceptives (not emergency ones, just regular ones)? How stupid is this?
