I knew being a cashier is hard but it's way harder than I thought it would be. Keeping track of so many barcode and upc numbers in case things don't scan, sorting between regular customers and restaurant owners who buy stuff in bulk, it's crazy. But I hope I get the hang of it; if I don't I'd like to work in a different area of the store though, it's a great company so far. :D

Congrats, my dude. Glad you like who you work for, and I hope you get the system down pat. 

I don't miss cashiering at all. Thankfully I keep failing upwards and now I have a desk job. Now when old people yell at me, at least I'm sitting down.

I've never cashiered, but I'm well versed in standing for 10 hours a day, so I can say it gets easier on your legs and feet the more you do it.

Also invest in good shoes. And I don't mean dress shoes.

Also I find the best way to take care of the legs and feet is find the right combination of standing and walking, as doing both the right amount is nowhere near as bad as doing one of them too much, even in the same time frame. Generally you can't decide to stand around if you need to be walking, but if you're standing around and your legs hurt, start walking around the area you need to be in. Just pace back and forth if you have to.

Finally, if your legs get sore, do leg stretches when you get a moment.

Man I've done it so much it's almost completely natural for me to be robotically extra nice at a cash register, but I got a say it's really weird still when someone loses their shit, and can't get their way or whatever because what they're asking for is either not practical or posssible the way the business is set up or they just don't understand how the world works. That is very troublesome, but the more you cashier the more you learn how to just laugh at that shit..
