(3,182 posts)that a lot of the "cashiers" you might see if the store is busy are stock clerks recruited to a cash register to clear the lines.
As for "rude," not in defense of Walmart, but in defense of cashiers, have you ever seen what some (most) of the Walmart customers are like? The other day, I asked a customer to please allow me to take my arm home with ME instead of in his bag when he attempted to cut it off! I was TRYING to do my job and bag his groceries while he kept spinning the damned bag holder. With my ARMS IN THE BAGS. He stood there and waited until I had my hands in a bag to spin it - just to torture me.
Then there was the woman who could do my job better than me and reminded me she was spending $300.00! Of course, SHE wasn't spending a dime, as her SNAP benefits paid every penny. The taxpayers were spending $300.00, not her. She was spending the taxes taken out of my lousy $7.90/hour.
The result of the customer screeching that there were "only 4 cashiers in the whole store" was that all our morning breaks were canceled.
