I thought they went extinct ever since self checkout was added
Our store’s goal is 70% at SCO, so there’s a fair bit left for humans.

can a simpleton like me learn how to scan the barcode so fast?
Yes you can. It’s all about learning where the barcodes are on products.

what store? employee discount code?
Kroger and there’s no code it just pairs to your loyalty card.

do you get annoyed by that beeping sound all day
Surprisingly no I find it quite satisfying.

How long is break?
I get 2 15 minute breaks and one thirty minute lunch for an 8 hour shift but that’s because I’m a minor.

What is the weirdest purchase you have ever seen?
Cigarettes and a smoker’s quitting kit at the same time.

How much Do you earn
10$ American an hour

Weirdest refund people tried to refund
Half eaten box of crackers.

Do you get a lot of obnoxious customers?
Probably 1/20 customers are obnoxious, it’s not too barn.

Karen stories?
We get a lot of questions, most of them aren’t weird but I just don’t know the answer. Fake it till you make it

Each non-barcode item has a unique 4-5 digit number called a PLU, we type those in and enter a quantity or a weight (most cash registers have a scale built in) Some common codes:
  • 4011 = bannanas
  • 4062 = cucumbers
  • 4022/4023 = green/red grapes
  • 4046 = avocados
  • 4048 = limes
  • 3082 = broccoli
  • 4610 = garlic
what state?
Ohio
