I was a cashier for many years in many different retail establishments. I was friendly (I think… I hope) and worked hard. Cashiering (and working with the public in any capacity) is a really hard job.
Lately I've noticed that many of the cashiers who have helped have been… well, annoying. It isn't that any of them were rude. In fact, it is more the opposite. These retail radicals seem hell-bent on making conversation and being overly friendly. Friendly is great. Making conversation is also a pretty good idea, I suppose.
What I don't like is when the clerks are way over the top or when they're determined to deliver commentary on the items I'm purchasing. Thank God I don't buy tampons… ice cream is bad enough.
