Good morning to everyone and thank you for your posts that express your opinion upon my trigger post.
I have been on cashier's place once as I have worked for a few years in a big supermarket (grocery & cheese section) and I know how it is to work in Xmas and Easter seasons and especially with grumpy and offensive customers. Working many more hours than normal, the staff management didn't want to hire more seasonal personnel mainly for profit reasons, so we had to take all the extra hard work because of the season's demand.
I remember myself by these holidays that I had no desire or the mental strength to be able to celebrate with people I love in the few free days/hours after work.
And although I don't know the working environment of this large supermarket corporation, with their advert I put my place on the cashier's place, and I felt a tad humiliated that I had to also play music, along with the heavy work that the season is bringing in order to cheer up (grumpy) customers, while my friends and family will somehow celebrate already.
I'm more on with the "work to live" than "live to work" side. I hope that I didn't offend anyone with my posts.
