'I can’t wait until I can promote myself to guest': 30 Cashiers share the random retail mayhem behind the counter

If you've never been a cashier (or just haven't been behind the register in a minute), here's what a day in the life is like with crazy customers, random returns, and annoying credit card machines. 

We checked out the subreddits for a bunch of stores and grabbed a little sampling from each! Cashiers should all be paid $1000 per hour and should get to sit while they work. If someone messes up the clothes you're folding at your workplace, you should be allowed to lightly bop them on the head with a whiffle ball bat. If I ran the country, it would be so. 

These cashiers have been through a lot. One person asked if their customers are allowed to film them, which must be a constant occurrence. Another cashier shared how they facepalm every time a customer can't figure out the tap-to-pay system on their credit card. If you have to repeat that 78342570 times per day, it makes sense that you'd start to pull your hair out from frustration.

Speaking of bad customers, this poor Panda Express worker shared a tale of one Karen who completely lost her s***, all because the restaurant forgot her soy sauce.
