Bot fly larva. If you think that's bad, never hang out with a veterinarian. That's like a good 10% of the job for any vet that's working with livestock.

The botfly is simply doing what it does, without the ability to introspect and reflect upon the impact of its actions and the horror it causes. That is nature. The coupon dude is simply doing what it does, without the ability to introspect and reflect upon the impact of its actions and the horror it causes. That is man.

I don’t understand how that extreme coupon poo poo keeps happening surely they’ve learned by now to slap a “one per customer/transaction” thing in the small print

History Comes Inside! posted:I don’t understand how that extreme coupon poo poo keeps happening surely they’ve learned by now to slap a “one per customer/transaction” thing in the small print That guy is an outlier. For every Coupons Georg that exists there would be dozens or hundreds of people who would use a couple of coupons and also impulse buy other items whilst in the store. He clearly places a very low value on his time.

It takes just as much time to check out one customer who takes an hour because they have 40 000 items and tree(3) coupons and sixty customers who take a minute each. Surely not even in the US do cashiers have a daily quota of customers?

It's more that this type of customer is 100% going to be the most annoying person you'll deal with all week and will likely argue with you about every single item and coupon, especially if the coupons are expired

Most places started cracking down on couponing when that show started getting big. To no one’s surprise those extreme couponers were spending like 60 hours a week doing it, so it’s basically a full time job anyways.

Not in the literal "This cashier needs to ring up X number of customers for a quota" but in the "It is the job of a cashier to convince customers to spend more money." That's why you have all the gum and magazines and crap in checkout lanes, as impulse buys, and why you're asked about rewards programs and why cashiers are supposed to inspect everything you are buying and make suggestions ("Oh, do you need batteries for this?") and it's just hell for everyone.

As a former cashier in several retail environments including grocery stores...not really. Corporate might put some poo poo like that in a training manual, but no one who is directly managing you day-to-day cares. Especially in grocery stores - yes, the magazines and gum are there for impulse buying, but in my experience the cashier has no incentive for selling that, and the only "upseller" types I encountered were the folks that were just naturally chatty go-getters that did it of their own volition. Cashiers in most chain grocery stores have no commission or tracking of their sales that's monitored for purposes of their evaluating job performance. Their job is not to inspect purchases and offer suggestions, but to get people through the line as fast as possible so lines don't get long. Basically the other poster was right, it's exasperating for the cashier because customer service jobs suck and this type of person being aggro about their couponing goes in the "annoyance" pile of your day. Also, even if you're not tracked on how many customers you get through, if the store is busy, hold ups like this make everyone else antsy, which leads to more people complaining to you because...customer service jobs suck.

I dunno if it’s still the case (it might be because their cashiers are still absolutely racing to get you through that transaction) but I’ve had friends who worked at ALDI/LIDL type budget supermarkets and they were measured on items scanned per minute over the course of a transaction, which is why if you go to one of those places the cashier scans your poo poo at light speed and you always have to race against them to bag it up or just throw it back in the trolley and bag it on the shame shelf away from the checkouts. It started counting time from the first scan to the customer paying for the goods, so some dickhead loving around and faffing over his 90 coupons and accidental extra soup could really gently caress up their day.

I worked as a service station (gas station) cashier - we called them "console operator" - in my late teens, about 25 years ago. It was a BP service station but I worked for the franchisee that ran it. We had a "mystery shopper" program where once a month, BP would send someone around posing as a regular customer. To get above 80/100, we needed to have a friendly greeting, upsell the crap out of the store, be pleasant, have everything in the place looking clean and tidy - including toilets etc. So we weren't under daily KPIs but absolutely had to perform well for these mystery shopper interactions. It got very tiring putting on a happy demeanor during the afternoon peak hour, where people are paying for a product they don't really want to pay for, and are just in a hurry to get out.

Retail chains never really cared about how many coupons somebody would use because they were getting reimbursed for all of them. Recently though the manufacturers have flat out told retail chains to go gently caress themselves and will only reimburse them for so many coupons. The number of "extreme" couponers has died down considerably where I work because we changed all the rules about how many coupons we can take and we stopped letting customers do multiple transactions to get around the rules of the coupons themselves.
