Cashiering Tips 101

Hello,

I’m your friendly checker. Maybe you call me “the cashier” or “check out girl/lady/register bimbo/whore/missy. I’m a relatively normal person who, for some reason or other, whether it be severe low career expectations, a second job to make up for my insurmountable credit card bills, or to just fuel my alcohol habit, has the relentless task of checking you and your groceries out. I thought maybe some guidelines were in order, to clarify my miserable existence while working my shift.

That's some funny stuff. I agree with 99% of it, except it is Q-pon, not coo-pon. Yes, it is. Yes. It. Is.

My vote is with Q-pon. The people who say "coo-pon" are the people who don't use them.

Perhaps you can use your Q-pons to buy some Grey Pyoo-pon, and drive home in a little deuce Q-pe. And maybe have a Qp d'etat.

I'll stop now.
