What do supermarket employees want to hear from customers that they never want to hear again?

On Twitter, some people from the retail trade are now answering this question.

Munich - Many consumers are currently having a hard time with the prices in the supermarket - especially those who have little money in their pockets.

But does anyone think of the employees in the shops?

Yes!

A customer recently posed a question to her on Twitter: “What can a customer do to make your life easier?

What should you leave?

I asked that again today at the checkout.”

It's not the first thread of this kind on the topic, which has already been discussed on Reddit.

Almost a year ago, a user gave eight tips on how to make life easier for cashiers.

These include "just be nice", "use goods separators", "don't put bottles on the conveyor belt or let them roll with the conveyor belt" or "please say whether you want to pay by card" instead of just holding them up - it's best to click for further advice and read through:

“Don’t yell for another checkout”: Supermarket employees are a bit annoying

People who probably work in retail also have their say in the new thread - of course it's difficult to verify.

But what they say is always interesting.

A user writes: "What would make my life easier: Not chattering so much.

If the cashier has already started giving out change, don't come with small change.

Don't yell for another register.

Accept the prices at checkout.

Don't unload your frustration at the checkout about empty shelves and wrong prices." She then seems to remember more and more: "Stupid jokes like 'It doesn't cost anything', 'No, I have a GPS', 'I don't want to buy the whole store' refrain."

Ex-supermarket employee: "I also take it for free" is heard "100 times a day"

Another user takes a similar stance: “I sat at the cash register for many years during school and university.

Please don't keep making the same jokes.

For example, if an item doesn't scan, 'I'll take it for free'.

You hear it 100 times a day.

If something doesn't work in the store, it's not the cashier's fault.

Don't take your bad mood out on her.

Please always place bottles.

Uses dividers.

If you go shopping at peak times, you have to be quick.

The checkout is obliged to work quickly and not wait for you.” A Rewe customer was celebrated online for a really creative joke at the checkout.

A man who says he runs a discounter branch also spoke up.

He also frequently sits at the checkout, he explains, and believes he “speaks for many when I say that we are happy when people are just friendly and don’t snap at you when you ask for the Payback card or similar questions.”

My space

Actually all plausible points, but it certainly doesn't hurt if they are recalled.

At the same time, trickier questions are also addressed in the Twitter thread.

It says: "I myself am often unsure whether I should give my coins in my hand at the checkout or put them on the counter (it can then be counted more easily)." Opinions differ: "Please open the counter, you don't need physical contact all the time" and "I prefer to hold it in my hand because it's difficult for me to pick up the small change from the counter" are just two answers.

Friendliness is king in the supermarket

But the most important thing remains when dealing with employees and customers: be nice!

“You can just be friendly and exchange a few words, possibly polite.

That's all we need," it said.

Or: "The job can be fun if you're just treated like a human being.

Friendliness, greetings, understanding and patience when things don't go as quickly as expected.

What I find absolutely wrong is making phone calls while paying.

As if the person at the cash register wasn't there."

"Hello dear cashier!" - "Hello dear customer.

And we both shine"

A supermarket customer even has an unusual form of friendly cooperation in mind.

She is probably describing a true incident from her everyday life when she writes: "Just say: 'Hello dear cashier!

I always stand in line for you because you are always so friendly and smiling.'

Now we're both always happy when she's around and she says, 'Hello darling customer.'

And we're both beaming." Recently, a Kaufland customer was not very upset when he saw various signs - and moved on to Aldi.
