4. Cashiers are best when they're professional

I get small town cashiers. The type that have never traveled 50 miles away in their entire lives. Known as "lifers".

One was friendly for years. It was just formality. Suddenly she started looking at me like I stole half the store. I stopped going to that store because of the weird vibes. I have no idea what it's about. For a long time I thought she had me confused with someone else.

Another one injects herself into self-checkout. I do fine, I'm a tad slow at it. Her constant interruptions distract me and slow me down more. I avoid that store quite a bit too.

Walmart has the best checkouts. Professionals. Hello, how you doing, scan, scan, scan. Never a doubt of what to say or how to respond. I think it all gets back to training, and management direction. During the earliest COVID crisis, one store dressed some employees in security guard uniforms. I walk in the store and one comes over to look me in the eyes, I've got my mask on. I don't know if it was a paranoia move to make customers know they're watching, or if they were looking for someone. Same store, all the employees at that time are suddenly saying hello. Yeah, because the shelves were half empty and they thought business was going elsewhere, which it was. Now they can't give you the time of day.
