Current Events > Why do some till workers rush people so fast?

(+) Yeah! (+)

There are good workers who balance out the shit but it's frustrating when I just try to go slow and clear for them.

"I'll have an order of popcorn with-"
" Is that everything?'
"No, popcorn and a drink, plus-
"Is that everything?"

If you work customer service, let people speak.

Gotta keep the line moving. Or else the slow talking, non moving t*** will hold everyone else up.

The register times them and if they are too slow the employee is punished.

I literally only see that happen when there's a big ass line behind you.

I understand when people do the awkward pause but it saves time and makes me happy to speak a bit slow compared to getting the wrong order and coming back or repeating myself.

Pretty much this at my place.

I don't rush too much mid-transaction - I move quickly but there's room to breathe. Once the receipt starts printing though, I'm calling the next customer over, whether you're out the door or fumbling with your purse because you don't remember how to open the zipper.

Customers certainly aren't saints either. Have your card ready, have money ready, tell people about coupons etc.

Right. Too often, people are fucking around with their purse or wallet and they just take up space.

If a cashier is rushing people through, i expect you to do your job flawlessly. Even a small mistake with my order and im calling your manager over.

Nope, I am a cashier and being fast is good and necessary. Your 3 seconds in front of the register isn't as important as literally the hundreds of other people you never think about that need to get their stuff rung up so things happen as they need to.
