Yah, I have been cashiering at a Meijer in...Funny! Yah, I have been cashiering at a Meijer in Ohio for a few months now. It's ok.....I'm getting pretty good at it even though I had about fifteen minutes of actual training before going on a lane (besides ALL the online stuff) You are right about most of the customers being pretty nice. The ones that are not I want to smack them upside the head with my hand scanner! haha The thing I hate the most is when people bring about ten of their own bags (so small you can barely fit two cereal boxes in them) for you to put their groceries in. Drives me nuts! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239705858618126217.post-60081038333211834162008-10-05T20:23:00.000-05:002008-10-05T20:23:00.000-05:00lolol I wish I could get back to you anonymous. ...lolol I wish I could get back to you anonymous. I know full well the quality of Meijer cashiers. I myself am not a thoroughbred of cashier (or is it, a thoroughbred cashier?), but I feel that I am an alright cashier. With that said, I am the one saying it, so objectivity is pretty much out the window, and there is such a breeze tonight *brrrr. <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I don't quite understand the first half of the first sentence of the third paragraph. The rest of it I get. I understand that job security doesn't mean, 'are my bosses happy with me?' it's, "are people still shopping here?" and that is why I try to be as sincere and cheerful as I can. But back to the sentence-paragraph thing I was mentioning; perhaps you could try to rephrase that so my feeble mind could understand? thank you =]<BR/><BR/>LOL again, maybe you should carry a map of every store around with you, to be ready for those irritating moments. Or maybe look less obvious lol, and fumble around with the products, or look puzzled and without a clue. Then ask other people you know have no clue and laugh inside. Actually, no, don't do that lol, it's a mean and sarcastic, and doesn't belong in a social setting (or maybe even any setting).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments anony, is it alright that I call you anony, or do you prefer anonymous. Personally I like nicknames, and anony, is one of my top ten names for when I have kids.Matthew Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485648391515552443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239705858618126217.post-52336187088522234822008-10-05T15:44:00.000-05:002008-10-05T15:44:00.000-05:00I'll leave my name unknown...but I not only know t...I'll leave my name unknown...but I not only know the Meijer chain extremely well, but many retail stores in general. (As well as the retail market)<BR/><BR/>I whole-heartedly agree with the fact that shoppers can be an absolute nuisance; however, there are many times in which the individuals working at these stores are no help either. (And Meijer is NO exception)<BR/><BR/>As a shopper, there's nothing more comforting to know than the fact that you are severly insignificant to the people who work there and fail to realize that we help you receive a paycheck. Though one single shopper seems to be insignificant, the water will always flow downstream. It only takes a few people who really hate the fact that they are treated this way to begin to send a message..."Don't shop there". I personally have nothing against Meijer, but there is definately room for improvement on many levels.<BR/><BR/>Another annoying thing, and this isn't just with Meijer but with many retail stores, is being an obvious shopper and having another shopper come up to you and ask where to find something. My common response is somewhere along the line of, "I don't know. I don't work here" or "Oh, let me pull the map of this store out of my back pocket, because I always know where everything is whenever I go shopping". For some odd reason people don't like it when you answer with sarcasm, but it's a little more PC than calling them an outright retard.<BR/><BR/>So with those thoughts, I'll close with the fact that there are always going to be issues, whether they be customer or store related. How you choose to approach those issues is what will make the difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
