Things You Might Not Know About A Cashier
At most petrol stations,there will usually be a cashier,sitting in front of the cash register.The cashier is responsible for the following:
1)Handling the cash and credit cards from the customers
2)Turning on the petrol pump so you can pump petrol
3)In charge of handling the customers who are buying goods from the convinent store
4)As in the cases of Shell,there are mobile cash registers outside to serve you.Their attendant cards have a maximum of RM600,after that they will need to go inside and 'pay-in' to the cashier,and the cashier will have to key in the right amount
6)Every pay in has to be marked down on a piece of paper(seperating the cash from the credit cards)
5)Cashiers are also in charged with checking the stocks,espeacially the engine lubricants and the cigarettes.Every item sold is marked down on a piece of paper
There are only 2 lanes to a cashier,one is through the shop,in front of the desk,and the other is from outside,through a small window.
NOW IMAGINE THIS:
Everything that i had stated above,is happening at THE SAME TIME.
Unbelievevable??Believe it.Its true,and Its scary.The stress and tension at these times can kill you,either that,or the customers will.
Therefore,to clear things up,these are a list of things you might not know about a cashier at a petrol station:
1)The cashier is not DEAF,nor does he/she has the intelligence of a Walnut.Therefore,please do not yell at the top of your voice:'HEY YOU FRIGGIN' DUMBASS, PUMP FIVE THIRTY DOLLARS!!GET IT??PUMP FIVE!!FIVE!!HELLO?!YOU HEAR ME??IT'S PUMP FIVE!!F-I-V-E!!!!!'(starting to make wild and obscene gestures).Relax,Mister,I can hear and understand perfectly clear what you are tryin to say,so shut the fuck up already.Sheesh.
2)The cashier is NOT A CLAIRVOYANT.Nor does he/she has predicting powers,keeps a crystal ball under the table,and can predict what you are going to say next.I have customers comin' up to the counter,takes out his wallet,fish out his Visa credit card and Bonus Link card,puts them on the desk....and just do nothing.He just stares blankly right at me,as if waiting for me to say:"Hmm..according to my talking voodoo doll under the desk..I'm guessing..you want pump three,fourty dollars??and a Kit-Kat to go with it??"I swear,someday I'm gonna stuf my voodoo doll down his throat.
3)The cashier DOES NOT,due to some bizzare genetical mutation on several chromosomes in his DNA strand,have 4 hands and 2 heads,although the general population seems to assume this is a fact.There will be customers banging on the desk,rapping on the window,pulling his hair,biting his fingers,and doing God knows what to speed you up,while the cashier is in fact handling someone else credit cards,and tryin to scan items AND retrieving money at the same time.Hey,gimme a break,will ya?try to put yourself in my position,and see where you will end up.
4)The cashier DOES NOT have his brain linked directly to yours.Therefore,it is virtually impossible for the cashier to know what your eyes are seeing.When u give the money to a cashier,please do not just point to your car,since there are 3 cars parked at where you point,the possibility of me guessing correct is one out of three,which,of course,will get me and the customer frustrated if i guessed wrongly.Heck,if i can guess correctly,i would rather take a shot at tomorrow's Totos or Magnum 4D,instead of wasting my precious time guessing which car belongs to you,is it a)the Toyota Camry,b)the the Honda Civic,or is it c)the ugliest muthafuckin car in the world,the Alfa Romeo??im guessing C.(to the people who is reading this and owns an Alfa Romeo,sorry,but you have no taste in cars whatsoever.)
5)The cashier DOES makes mistakes at times.hey,we are all humans,after all,we all makes mistakes,(hell,i'm quite sure i made a grammar mistake in this previous sentence.)Therefore,have some compassion.Have some sympathy.Do not scream at the cashier(or the pump attendants)just because they made a tiny weeny mistake.
In conclusion,the above can be summarised into a single sentence:
THE CASHIER IS NOT GOD,DUMBASS
