'When he held out his hand for change, I dropped it on the counter': 20+ Cashiers who got the pettiest payback on their customers

Don't underestimate the pettiness of these fed-up workers. You'd be acting petty too if customers treated you the same way.

Cashiers work so hard for so little recognition. If I was running things, all cashiers would be allowed to sit down, they'd be allowed to talk back to rude customers, and they'd all be paid at least $1 million per year. In reality, though, cashiers have to deal with the grouchiest customers one after another for minimum wage (and no sitting down either). You can only handle so many mean customers before you start to snap…so these cashiers shared the quietly petty things they do to get back at their worst customers.

Check out the prompt question from u/ItsMePeyt0n below, followed by lots of great suggestions for the next time a customer drops a handful of change on the counter, expecting you to scoop it up. I never knew there were so many cashiers who had no problem smushing a package of bread flat, or pressing their thumb on the scale while weighing the veggies of rude customers. It's the little things that matter.
