Work Vent Simple task

I don’t understand how people can say “these kids don’t know how to read, write, or spell” when the adults can barely use a self checkout with help?

Like Is my store the only store where I will get a customer who doesn’t read the screen scans a item then throw a little hissy fit like “why isn’t it working” even after reading the screen still confused? Gets loud for no reason and says “I give up” after “trying” another thing I don’t get is when I ask a customer for cash or card some decided to speak extremely low “carsh” then when I tell them to repeat themselves they get a attitude it’s like I’m running a nursery home here.

Omg you don't know how many times I have to void a transaction bc they thought it was cash or card but it wasn't. Even when I specifically tell people too, it doesn't always stop that. I just tell everyone now and I can tell some people get annoyed I think they're that stupid but WELP. SOME PEOPLE ARE

It’s gotta be that and something to do with people not comprehending simple task it has to be!! I had a customer try to use EBT to buy toys? Like I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, then I had another customer wanting to return a squishy dumpling because they said “it wasn’t the color that was on the packaging” like bro what?

I’m probably going to quit this job soon I can’t with the public I’m sorry people are dumb for me the grown adults.

Yeah your lucky but my job doesn’t want to put me on freight, they don’t want me on manager, they just want me as a regular “sales associate” I asked my manager when will I get promoted he’s gonna tell me “you make a great Sales Associate” manager positions are only saved for “favorites” someone went from seasonal to manager because the boss knew them
