a day in the life of any cashier

What did you do today?

I took orders, I made frozen mochas, and strawberry smoothies, I sliced bread, and burned bagels, I counted change, and counted change, and counted change, I sold cookies, and I took phone-ins, and restocked.

But I also helped feed hungry bellies, I held doors, got highchairs, brought food to tables, I was patient oh, so patient with the old woman who couldn’t hear me, I trained a new cashier, I interpreted foreign accents.

It’s certainly not a glamorous job, or even very difficult, but maybe, just maybe I made a little tiny difference in someone’s day.
