i'm not convinced customer actually want us to smile at them

or at least, they don't want it to be more genuine than whatever they're feeling

because why do customers seeing me being happy and pleasant at checkouts have to declare they might come back later to see if i'm still chipper?

#if you want me to scowl at you i'd be happy to oblige #ba dum tss #i am my target audience #but anyway #this has happened multiple times when i'm not even super chipper or anything #people are so sure that working retail must be a miserable experience that anything else genuinely unnerves them #if you think it's a miserable job then why not try be nice?#why do they try to make it weird?#technically a sequel to my prior post about working checkouts

i miss my old science teacher

absolute madlad

set a table on fire to demonstrate the importance of ratios in solutions

then he made mustard gas to demonstrate how to use a fumehood

#science is fun #this guy came back from a 13-month holiday to teach us #and then he retired immediately after

man have to love making a decision and a decision and a decision because actions have consequences and when digging your grave, you threw the dirt away and now you can't fill it back in

#where's the 'this action will have consequences' text when you need it #sitting in the cockpit staring at the eject button but some part of you fears the atmosphere #at some point you gotta take a leap of faith #unfortunately my faith lead me wrong #should've listened to my gut instead

low-key enjoy being on checkouts especially when it's busy, i be bouncing off the energy so hard i'm near manic

bonus points if i'm on the checkout furthest from the queue 'cause then i can shout at the customers and no one gets mad :)

#working retail #checkouts #i be out here like an energy vampire #yes i've had customers ask how much caffeine i've had #caffeine does nothing for me but i realised pretty quick the customers look at me funny if i say none #oops

i be out here single-handedly raising our nps whenever i get assigned to checkouts but i'll be damned if i actually remember a customer

#that's a lie #the occasional customer who stands out?#yeah i'll remember their name and what they bought and the son's partner they bought it for #but oh you were in just yesterday and i really helped you out with something?#cool cool cool time to improv

always a great time being at work and just suddenly regaining consciousness

coworkers: man this day's really dragging on :/

me, who has been there for the same number of hours: uhhhh i don't remember

#working retail #funniest part is the look on my coworkers' faces after that #especially when they've seen me interacting and conversing with customers throughout the day #then i wonder why i'm so drained afterwards #dissociation adjacent #purghaps #i don't know what term to use so duck it we ball
