They're not even doing good jobs.
Thankfully it seems both cashiers and baggers are better trained than they used to be at least at the larger chains. I don't have either of these issues at supermarkets.
That doesn't mean they won't be lazy or lack hustle though.
Sometimes I catch incorrect prices or the cashier keying in the wrong vegetable at checkout, but you can also read your receipt later and ask for a refund. I’ve never had a grocery store quibble when I said I was mischarged or an item was bad.
Why does this kind of thing only happen in the US?
I've never seen cashiers loving their jobs, but I've never seen them mishandling stuff either.
OTOH, I've never seen them filling the bags, so that may have something to do with it.
Cashiers in Europe are well trained and probably love it. Because we don't offload those jobs to students trying to make a quick buck. Here it can be seen as a proper career which you can do your whole life if you want.
But that is maybe because we don't have as many arrogant fuckers who think service jobs are bottom tier and the people working them shouldn't even be seen as human.
wait employees bagging your items is a real thing in the US? why? what's this american obsession with having shittily paid people do everything for them?
