As you may know Jinx works retail (Cashier and self checkout host.) and nearly everyone seems to be making the same mistakes. He is not mad about most of these but if you could all stop making them it would make your life easier.
1) Forgetting your card/wallet.
You surely checked to make sure you had it before you left your house seeing as you have it in your car yes? So was forgetting it even a possible outcome? Put it in your peruse or pocket, run that little loop bit over your wrist if you have one or just hold it while you are in the car. You are only making your life harder.
2) Forgetting your ID.
Your ID belongs in your wallet. Not in your glovebox, not in your mate's wallet, not in your peruse, in your wallet, with all the other cards. The only time you should ever take it out of your wallet (Again this is the wallet that you and you alone own. (If you don't have one stop reading this and get one at the nearest dolor store.)) is when you are showing it to someone.
Yes Jinx has one in his vest pocket, that is because the people at the DMV gave him 2 by mistake.
3) Our memories last more then 5 seconds. While we will forget you after you leave, we will not sudenly forget who was buying that beer. No you can't buy it for them, yes we can see how old you are, no our managers will not fire us. And no, IDing you isn't funny, the way you are acting is however.
There is no loophole or magic word. Even if you go to another register we are going to be telling our supervisor and they will warn everyone. The only way you are getting whatever it is you wanted is if you go get your ID.
4) We did tell you about the returns policy. It is printed on your receipt. (Which you need by the way.) If it's not covered calling the manager will only make you look like a jerk in public.
5) All of the self checkout machines can give you cash back. If one can't that means it is out of money or jammed and we will correct it as soon as we can.
6) Once we have punched in the amount of money you handed us, please don't give us more change. Though we can do the math in our heads and some even have calculators for this, we are worried we will mess up the change and anger you. If you hate pennies that much most stores have something set up where you can donate them.
If you would really rather make Jinx waist 2 minutes of his time and yours rather than donate $0.99 or less to a children's hospital you are a bad person.
7) We know the lines are long. We hate it to as it stresses us out and means our brakes take longer to get to. Instead of complaining to us about this thing we both hate use your time in line to think of anyone you know who needs a job. If you can think of anyone then ask the cashier a bit about it and who you can call if you need more info. Aside from getting more help with their job, the cashier will be able to tell the manager they may have got them more workers which will make them look good.

Just remember, the economy would literally cease to function without your job, and there are people who really do appreciate everything you do. It takes a lot or effort to deal with the rudest people in the world and still have a smile and good customer service skills. Some of us notice that, believe me!
Keep on keeping on! :D
