Reply #35: I am a Wal-mart cashier

[Terra Alta]

and I can see where you're coming from. I do chat with my customers, but I do it as I am ringing their stuff up. I don't stop ringing their stuff up just to chat about what they buy. We do have a cashier here though who does exactly what you are annoyed about... very chatty with customers about stuff they are buying. Some customers won't go through her line because of it.

While we're on the subject of things that annoy us, though... one thing that annoys me is customers who yap on their cell phones the entire time I'm ringing them up, not even stopping their conversation to even acknowledge me. It is very rude and it drives me nuts!
