Advantages: meet different people, company bonus,

Disadvantages: monotonous, rude customers, being taken for granted, we're listening answers

You work at a checkout and you feel that you are becoming more and more like a robot. There is a severe lack of mentally stimulating work, and interesting conversation. I long to serve interesting customers with whom I can at least have an interesting conversation.

I once served a customer who told me that you need no common sense to work at Asda. Other operators have had people say that you need not have any intelligence to work here.

You cannot complain about customers who are rude to you.

The month after Wal-Mart lost the biggest sexual discrimination case in western history I received a booklet about how Asda is a fair employer.

Operators are increasing told what to say.

Management try to encourage you to scan 22 items per minute. This does not take into account the customer who has to pack their bags.

The bags are very cheap to make and tear easily.

We're listening survey. Needs to provide more answers other than the yes and no.

Good points.

Occasionally you meet interesting people.

Company share scheme

Bonus.

Nice colleagues.

Back to the bad points

Some customers treat you as if you are stupid because the job requires no qualifications.

I worked out that my hands do the same action about 9,300 times a day.

Beware of packaging especially on whoops items.

You should also not really be using money off coupons unless you have brought the item advertised on the coupon. This also helps the manufacturer.

Wal-Mart has given money to the American republican party.

Summary: rude customers, and being taken for granted
