Experienced cashiers usually have no problems. I did that job for a year, and it wasn't uncommon for new people to the job to foul up. But of course because this the internet, what I say is 'a crock of ****' because you say so.
i say that because i was on the recieving end of it daily. a suprising (and i mean dumb-founding) about of people walk in without any idea of what pump they'd used, or even how much they'd filled up. When you confirm the pump number, the cost, even the colour of the car and somebody still will walk back and and say 'hang on a minute.....that wasnt my pump' then yes, its rubbish. im not talking about the odd person, im talking twice daily, like clockwork, people who told me, on the till, the wrong pump number.
i had a conversation with somebody once that went like this:
him: erm, its that one over there
me: what one?
him: over there, at the back
me: £30 diesel sir?
him: no, its over the back. the red van.....
There were 4 red vans on the forecourt. And he filled up on one of the middle pumps, not the back.
Also, suprisingly was the amount of times i got told the wrong pump number , but the amount was correct. For instance customer A fills up with £10 petrol, but pays for customer B's £10 of diesel. No problem, except customer B has a fuel card and cant pay for unleaded on it. You would think it was the easiest thing in the world, telling somebody a number. But it isnt
"was"... how long ago? Possible it has changed.
Of course it's equally possible I've been given a load of crock information too
about two years ago
overworked and most definately under payed.
