I'm in my mid 20s and I've been working as a cashier for a year and half now. I see my colleagues and hundreds of strangers more than i see my friends and family, and dealing with stupid and whiny customers every single day while having to act professional. It's a temporary job, but already I feel too drained it. I've already seen enough, and I'm not willing to live like this for every single day until I retire. This can't be healthy!

I refuse to believe that you genuinely love being a cashier. Seriously how do you all stay with this job for years or even decades without losing your sanity???

For example "I'm 30 and I never kissed a girl" "I'm 27 and I'm gonna go on a date with this girl that's 26 years old" or "I'm 32 and I like this girl that's 29 years old" etc

When someone says "girls" I always assume they mean either children or teenagers, not grown adult women.

So why do men say "girls" when they really mean adult women? I even noticed these same guys never refer to grown men as "boys". I am genuinely confused by that

For me personally jokes and humor are welcome if they're actually funny and well intended, but this is not it.

I heard this uncreative joke from customers WAY too many times already whenever I call my colleagues to help me find the same item in case an item doesn't have the barcode. At this point I stopped entertaining those kinds of customers and just stare at them with blank face and not tell them anything besides the total price they have to pay for their groceries.

I'm convinced customers who make this joke never worked in retail.
