cash pet peeves

i have been working cash closing 4-5 days a week and its lowkey soul draining. i do love my location (5 minutes from my house) and my coworkers.

here are some of my pet peeves, this list changes weekly:

1) trying to pay $100 especially if your total is less $30. i had a customer pay for a $9 meal with a $100 bill and it broke my brain i was so stressed out. plus we have to have our manager break the change. it slows everyone down. i get it you have holiday money but pls pls don’t break your $50s and $100s at chipotle.

2) i was bagging an order and a customer was holding money. instead of waiting 2 seconds, he lowkey threw his money at me.

3) “can i have a water?” fills water cup “actually i meant a bottle of water”

4)people who don’t wear their mask over their nose. you’re literally spreading covid if you talk to me. masks don’t protect me from getting it.

5) can you not lean over the expo??? if you want to know whats in the fridge, i’ll tell you but you’re putting me in danger by leaning over the expo.

6)we don’t have chairs in our patio. idk what makes you think you can stand around the tables or sit directly on the tables.

7) “oh you guys sell beer?” “not anymore, we unfortunately can’t sell it” “thats a shame, its just sitting there staring at me haha”. i hear the same joke almost everyday. its not funny

8) “will that be all?” “yes” “your total is going to be $8.20, will that be cash or card?” “actually i’ll have some chips” “your new total is-“ “and a large drink”

9)i don’t mind filling drinks but please stand farther back and do not stand super close to me.

10) “i’m sorry, can you try your card again? i don’t think it went through” “but here’s my reciept” “well the receipt prints automatically” “ugh fine, will i get charged twice?” “no you won’t” “you sure?”

11) doordash drivers. especially rude ones.

*had a rude doordash driver earlier today, who walked up to dml and was like “whats taking so long?” .it was 5:12 and the order wasn’t ready until 5:30. then the customer called an hour later and said the driver tore the bag and food open 😒

12)”will that be cash or card?” “card” proceeds to swipe a gift card i have to cancel and redo the whole order because you couldn’t specify GIFT card. it’s annoying
