Today, I finally realized the toll working as a cashier 5 days a week during the holidays does to your psyche. I just said "Welcome To Walgreens", out of pure reflex, to my cat as she walked into my kitchen. FML

Hey guys, OP Here. I don't hate my job. My boss works awesomely with my schedule, I make a ton of money, and I work with a bunch of good people. I try my best to welcome everyone who comes in when I'm at the lead register, but my store can get about 8-900 customers a day, so my welcomes can be a little reflexive. I had just gotten up that morning, after working a 9 hour shift the night before, with a 7 hour shift ahead of me. I heard the cat push the door open, and I said it half-asleep with my siblings all around the table.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why? It's not like the op said they hate their job, they just been working lots during the season. Maybe the op really likes their job.

As a fellow cashier who works the night shift, I find myself saying "have a good night" to people I talk to during the day way to often.

I work varied shifts, but tend to work mostly afternoons/evenings. Every once in a while I will get a morning shift and I will end up saying "Have a good night...er afternoon...er day or whatever it is." They usually end up laughing.

I told a customer 'hi" as they were leaving the store

When I'm on overnights at work, I say have a great day, but then I realize that they're going home, eat their food and go to bed. Yay for working in fast food.

I remember answering my home phone "Waldenbooks and More!" Confused the person on the other end.

Same! I work at a call center and so many times I've answered my cell phone "thank you for calling customer service".

When I was working at a call center I once asked the cashier at the dollar store if there was anything else I could assist her with as we were ending the transaction. I guy who worked with me checked the availability of his eggs once (we booked hotel rooms) it gets to be automatic

I folded all of my clothes as if I was at work- from doing floor sets for Victoria's Secret for about 6 months after I left.

Seriously though. After working where I do now, I fold all of my shirts the way we quarter-fold them at work. I will even "edge" them so that they are lined up straight and the front edge out of habit.
