Time to cash out.

F the lives of the people waiting in line, wondering why it's taking so long to check out their 10 items or less.

So did the manager just dump you at a register? When I hired cashiers I trained them first, then when they were ready for customers I stayed with them until they were confident they knew what they were doing. It's called Management. No wonder you paniced. You were unprepared.

Better luck next time.

The op is seriously over-reacting.

correction: first AND LAST day at work as a cashier. you can kiss your promotion to the "express check-out" goodbye OP.

Sounds like this story might be embellished just a wee bit. When your blood pressure drops low enough to blind you and make your body go numb, you're probably not going to make it all the way to the bathroom before passing out. If you do feel faint from nerves, squat down on the floor and take a few breaths until your head clears. Then tell people you skipped your last meal and just had a little dizzy spell. Being nervous on your first day of any new experience is normal, and it doesn't mean you fail at life. Just find appropriate, professional ways to cope with it.

this sounds a lot like the chick at my local mcdonalds who freaked out and couldnt get me my change because "it was too much work"

not like that

If you cant handle being a cashier, i hate to see how your gonna react when you have to get a real job
