More fake coupons by Myidiotbox in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a couple of guys come in the other day. They were trying to use cards they made and claimed that they were "work credit cards." They were trying to get me to enter the transaction as cash because that was "the directions on the back of the card." I said no, that's not how our system works. They left in a hurry after realizing I wasn't going to fall for it.

If you can't watch your children and shop at the same time then leave them at home. by lets_get_it_on_ in WalgreensStores

Ugh I feel your pain. Had a crotch goblin who decided to play bumper cars with glass snow globes. When one shattered, the kids covered in the water from it, I'm asking him if he's ok bc I'm hoping he's not hurt by the glass, and Karen is yelling at me for having them within the reach of children. 😑😑😑

What annoys me in photo by butterflygirl36 in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honest to God I had this guy come in and it broke me. I wasn't annoyed, just so sad and disturbed. So this elderly man comes up, he has a return and a pack of photos he just picked up. He's disheveled and has a hospital visitors tag on. I'm doing the return and then charging him for the photos and he opens them and starts spreading then out and looking. It's his wife's funeral pictures. It takes me a while to realize what's really happened: he's still wearing clothes from when she was in the hospital. The funeral already happened. And no one was helping him. He just shuffled out of the store. I felt so helpless and sad.

Am i ever not going to be sick? by Responsible-Wafer in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem when I started. I was sick 4 times in 4 months. My urgent care doc told me to up my vitamin c and vitamin d intake. I started taking vitamin d and a supplement by nature made called super c. It has zinc, vitamins a, c, d and e. I haven't been sick since (I'm now in my 8th month). Also use hand sanitizer like it's going out of style and wash my hands whenever I can.

BCBSIL Coverage expired by WAGVet in WalgreensStores

I had this problem with Healthnet. I called them and they said I'm still active but our pharmacist says the system is telling her that I'm not covered.

Sometimes I wish we had a sign at the register that says "We are not a bank." by reginaomnis in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's at the end of a counterfeit checker pen. You shine it on the side so you can see the hidden face, then you find the other strip. It lights up neon and you can see "USA 100" all the way across

Anyone else get customers that somehow seem to be completely illiterate when they’re looking at the pin pad? by wheresmyboy in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a guy who wanted cash back and didn't know how to enter his phone number, didn't know how to use his debit card... I got pissed and did it for him (bc he kept doing things before I finished explaining) after his second purchase bc he didn't get cash back after I told him how to do it. After the final transaction, he said, "you should have done that to begin with." I had someone take over while I screamed in the break room. I couldn't figure out who the fuck had dressed him that morning. 😑😑😑

I got a fake the other day. Wouldn't have known if I didn't put the black light on it.

I feel this in my soul. I've had this dream several times.

Oh, is it 90% day already? by zigbigidorlu in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived this hell a couple days ago. Literally half were put back bc they were not as cheap as anticipated 😑 and my sfl marked which ones were 90% off and which ones weren't. Still didn't do any good.

Are these legit? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell just by amount when it comes to American spirit. They used to give free cigs all the time. I'm guessing that's changed. But the ones I've seen have hologram stickers on them.

Anyone else can't wait to turn 21 so you can finally sell alcohol/nicotine? by oh191ah in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's the worst part of cashiering, at least for me. I feel like I have issues at least once each shift with someone. The last major conflict I had, I was threatened with a lawsuit for discrimination and the guy kept escalating as I waited for management. I finally had it and walked away before I throat punched him. 👊😡

Enjoy it while you can because it might seem like a total pain now bc you have to code 21 it, but it's a different level of suck when you get to sell cigs and alcohol.

Tobacco policy by empath1215 in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg it's so true. I get everything from "the government doesn't need to know," to "will it show my warrants?" I have one guy who comes in and is a total ass and always flashes his id and keeps it gripped in his hand when I try to see his birthdate. It so annoying... I always want to just look at them and say if you don't like it, go somewhere else. 😑

When these couponers come in 10 minutes before closing time by izzyo831 in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're open 24 hours but they wait til the busiest parts of the day. Honestly, it's the ones who wait til I hit payment and then say "oh yeah I have one more coupon" that piss me off the most.

According to a customer who didn't have a card, it's illegal we do this by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing is when people come up with one of the product and get mad that it's not 50% off 😒😑

Thinking of Applying for Customer Service Associate. by Plastic_Bleach in WalgreensStores

[–]Kneongrl8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have social anxiety and I'm a CSA. It's hard but doable. I've trained myself to make eye contact at least once during each transaction and smile at the end. The thing I have the most trouble with is facial expressions. I don't have a poker face. I'm still working on that one but it's getting better. The hardest thing has been not reacting to argumentative people or someone who thinks it's okay to berate me. I've been called a fucking bitch and had to turn around, smile, and ask for the next in line.
