What is this

>Apparently american cashiers are NOT ALLOWED to sit down ever while working
what?

we lay down instead

Oh, so one American's reaction lead you to that conclusion? Interesting.

>their minds

try to keep up

haha you're an idiot!

pick related: me when I get to sit down after a long day

WTF I HATE Brazil now!

Our supervisors would never let us sit down, or even lean against the desk. They want us to send out body language of subservience.

The only person I've ever seen allowed to sit down was an old lady undergoing hip surgery (yes, bring on the healthcare and sick leave bantz, we deserve it)

lie*

Haha, it's true.
Do you wear diapers?

are we posting national pastimes now?

They're called nappies m8

I've learnt this word from porn sites, I'm sure this word is legit.

Cashiers in Canada stand as well.

I don't know.

They're all being replaced by machines though, so who cares.

Same here

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA

>head cashier puts you in charge of Self Checkout

If I move to canada or bongland does that mean I literally have free rein to shoplift all I want?

So why are counters so short in all other countries?

They're are still employees in the store

the self-scan handsets are better, i think. all your bagging's done already of course, so stupid people don't take two trolleys through UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA land

I never understood that either desu. ALDI lets them sit down though and pays them above minimum wage so I guess it's just a case of the companies not giving a shit about their employees.

That spic is so excited about his beer.

>he puts the whole crate on the conveyor
rude desu
just give her one bottle so she can scan it

Sometimes the barcode on the crate is different from the bottle. Still, it would be better to let the crate stay in the trolley and scan the code there with the handheld scanner the cashier has.

Just checked my six-pack, the barcode was different on the bottle and on the package.

>they are are still employees in the store

Here the cash desks always have this flippy book next to the register with all the shortcut numbers to fruits and beverages so that when they see a full crate in the shopping cart they don't have to scan the whole thing but just type in a few numbers

is GERMANY ahead of the rest of the world once again?

same 2bh
I like them

>flippy book
>not having a slow-as-shit online catalog accessible through the computers that crashes all the time

It's current year, grandpa

same here
our Eastern Germanic genes in action 2bh

Cashiers usually have PLU codes memorized for produce like bananas or broccoli but I've never seen them not scan anything else

Same here actually. Sometimes it's faster to reach over the counter and scan than it is to find said item in the flippy book though.

People tend to steal other people's stuff if those things are as long as they are here.

Because they don't want you falling asleep on the job while sitting down.

how can they be so fat then?
checkmate brazil

That system is shit, scanning with phone/handscanner is 10/10
You can pack your shit while doing groceries.

that looks neat, I want this in my cunt

Can you pay on your phone too? Seems really useful and convenient

yes, yes do the work yourselves
don't forget to tip

Sounds like torture doing that work all day while standing up, and some supermarkets don't even have cashiers these days. Works like crap sometimes, but it's something, at least motivates people to find better jobs, or starve to death a la natural selection/we wuz replaced by mashinez n' sheit. lol

It's much easier to steal stuff at a self-checkout, but I mean...why would you?

a sad excuse for a job. Its one of the many reasons that the trope that cashiers are dead inside exists in shows/movies. Not to mention they're all dead inside.

Why not

>UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA
Not to be confused with EXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA

Not unless they're disabled/handicapped/etc.

I have no west african ancestors, it just feels out of character

Sup Forums - Cashier logistics

he's a brazilian without any kind of sense, don't even try...

Well, I mean, that's not how society works.

You can't just go around stealing stuff, even if it's easy to.

Becase people are educated, no favela monkeys like you.

Sitting down while at work is the number 1 sin of being a wagecuck.
If you sit down even for a second they'll get pissed and make you do some really fucked up task like scrubbing the freezer floor or something. It's just one of those American memes

No, you can pay with it (NFC) but you still need to use the self-checkout machine.

We're too socialistic. Employees are still considered human beings.
