A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

I feel like the kind of people who post pleasant fantasies like this have never worked retail because oh my god no, please no do not do this. Not only are you slowing down the line and forcing someone who's trapped there to interact socially beyond the scope of their job, there's a 100% chance I lie to you about my favorite candy and I'm gonna throw away anything you give to me (if I'm even allowed to accept it, which nowhere I worked retail would have ever allowed that kind of liability) in case you've wiped something on it.
Creeps have ruined this kind of spontaneity, and until we fix society in general it's not coming back. It's a nice thought but please let it stay a thought.
Yeahhhh, I get wanting to make strangers' days better, but just be polite, understanding, and quick. It's consistently the best thing you can do for a cashier. If they want to be more talkative let them initiate.
Yeah exactly. And if it's a cashier position with a tip jar, just put the money in there instead. Then go away lol
It also depend where you buy stuff and how your community is, eg: here cashiers will occasionally tell you "hey, don't buy that, this one is much more cheap" and after doing the math it actually is cheaper for me, always, so yeah, it depends where you live.
You live in a big city? Hell nah, it won't happen
You live in a village or little city? Yep, you are good
