@@Wyderr Billa karta?

Lidl aplikaci používáte?

Ano souhlasím a z vlastní zkušenosti vím, že pokladní se pokud možno ve vlastním zájmu soustředí jestli dobře vrátila peníze, takže jakékoliv otázky! u dokončení platby ji vyrušují. Pokladní si v tom maratonu plateb také potřebuje v hlavě srovnat, že je to o.k. a může jet na další várku bez toho, že by byla do večera nejistá jak jí to výjde , že vrátila třeba špatně, protože jede jako automat. Nemůže se člověk divit, že se po několika hodinách v momentech prostě už tzv. vypíná....přestože večer jí pokladna vyjde o.k.- bez manka :-) Naštěstí mám toto již za sebou a doufám, že se k tomu nevrátím.

@@janawaw8293 A další problém je s některými spoluobčany (60+ :D ) ... jakmile se dáte do řeči se zákazníkem, tak hned vás jiní zákazníci upozorní, že jste tady od toho aby jste markovali zboží. A ne, aby jste se vybavovali se zákazníky. :D ... často taky přijde zákazník a bude se s vámi hádat kvůli slevě, která nenaskočila, protože ji čekal. Takže 10 min se s ním hádáte kvůli 5 kč. .... (dělal jsem 3 roky na pokladně)

To máte samozřejmě pravdu. Nejčastěji chodím nakupovat do Hypermarketu Albert. Ale některé prodavačky neberou věci, tak jak jsem vyskládala na pás. Třeba dávám první brambory, džus apod... . ale ony si nějak podle sebe berou potraviny z prostřed. Vůbec to nechápu. A jiné prodavačky i prodavači ani nepočkají, až všechny věci naskládám na pás a jedou takovým fofrem, že to ani nestíhám házet zpět do vozíku, natož si to pěkně poskládat do tašky. Taky se mi stalo, že jsem brala nanuky a měla jsem u nich nachystaný sáček. A prodavačka ho chtěla vyhodit. Ještě, že jsem rychle zareagovala, že mám ten sáček na ty nanuky. Oni totiž nesmějí mít sáčky u pokladny. Je to divné, ale v Lidlu se sáčkama u pokladny neměli žádný problém. Tu a tam napočítají nějakou věc navíc. A kdybych se někoho zeptala, co bude dělat o víkendu, tak se na mě zamračí, že je to jasné - opět u pokladny, jak jinak. Ale na druhé straně, musím prodavačky politovat. Kolikrát nemají čas si zajít ani na WC. Někteří zákazníci jsou protivní. No, je to nevděčná práce, nedělala bych ji ani za nic.

@Jan Krynicky Asi, jak kde.

Yeah, I realized with so much options, they certainly can't sell everything, so the amount of waste is probably pretty big.

So much in the US is nonperishable though... Even the bread!! We aren't Czech enough yet to buy daily rohlíky, but it was kind of crazy to me to see my family in the US eating bread they bought weeks ago like that's normal

how can you even know whats good? stupid wasting

I am not fond of shopping in supermarkets, because of time I spent finding items I need. If I would live in USA I would make list of titems i need and where to find them even then it would take too much time.(too much stuff i do not need)

Supermarkets are in Czech Republic also. Wasting happens on both side of the globe.

Teď se košík musí nechat před kasou - proč? Takže je potřeba další clověk, který je občas sebere a donese ke dveřím, aby si je lidi mohli brát - proč? Naprosto zbytečně, jen to komplikuje situaci... když jsem se s tím setkal poprví, tak jsem jen čuměl co to má znamenat, proč by někdo vymýšlel takovou píčovinu... ale je to tak, pořád to nechápu. Košíky jsou teď úplně k ničemu, klidně je můžou vyhodit... buď je ten nákup tak malej, že to poberu do ruky a košík nepotřebuju, nebo je větší a musím si stejně vzít vozík, abych měl kam dát věci po zaplacení.

@@Kkkk-pu3ez Nesmysl, vozík si beru většinou před obchodem a tam ho vracím, mám na mysli supermarkety.

This is so fascinating Teresa! I feel like I need to do a further exploration of the cashier working conditions!

My cashier this week told me about her twelve year old dog and how he needed surgery!!😂

I would like to add my sisters experience…she used to work as a cashier at store called Kaufland. She would always complain how stressful the job was. Did you know that the company actually hired people, “under covers”, and they would try to catch cashiers doing things wrong? Basically, they would pose as regular costumes with carts full of items; however, they were there to make sure that every single item was scanned correctly + nothing was overlooked or forgotten . Ugh! As far as helping with bagging costumers items goes that is strictly prohibited! Ugh again! And I know…don’t get me started!

one thing i like about lidl is the fact that they have two of these little "stations" where you can bag your things!! so if you're still getting your stuff and they're done scanning everything they'll just go on to the next person.

Where did you see that? It's hard to believe such thing really exists, that's like from some American movie. Quality of cashier is not only about maximal speed and I think visible showing to other employees that you are slow or bad worker could be even illegal or at least very discourteously, it's your personal thing between you and your employer.

Great question!!!

Good question, but it can be a little bit too personal question. :)

That would be a great video!

Especialy forbiden talks about LGBT/Neomarx and other things. At CZ is normal to critize or have a debate about these. But at US!?

I am from Scandinavia, Sweden, a literally “do it your self” - country. But... when I was just recently in Prague they told me that I have to weight fruits my self and it was said NOT in the very nice way despite being absolutely clear that I am a tourist. It was Strange! So.. is there any logical explanation for that? Is it like very extremely low paid? Or are their work hours long like hell?

@@jammmy30 Firstly, the not nice way, is often (but not always) just an automatic neutral response (bambillion of people ask, people get tired, ...), it's often not meant in a mean way (again not always ;)) and sometimes you can strike a quick conersation and realize the person is actually very nice. Now back to the topic, to weight your fruit and vegetable, this came with the surge of automatic cashier machines, to be precise it came a bit earlier in some places but it was part of the plan. The reason why it came earlier was because there were long lines of people waiting while now things are surprisingly a lot quicker. Main reason now is that you don't really need to meet a cashier if you don't want but you still need to get the weight/price of your items ;). Have a nice time in Sweden!

Jammy: ive just got my 783 euros in czech crowns the very first time after working for one company after 9 fricking years... Its not really much for someone who has to eat gluten free food only.

@@jammmy30 The reason is pretty simple: The cash register, the machine, cant weight the things. There's just not any weighing-machine built in it. It's not like the lady doesn't want to do it, she actually can't do it :D And now the funny part: Some supermarkets have these 'dumb' cash registers and some have 'smarter' and the lady does the job :D So even I as a Czech don't know if I should weight it myself or not :D

Texas sucks.

I live in NYC. People occasionally approach me on the street to ask directions, etc., because I look approachable, I guess. But I don't get strangers wanting to chat, maybe because I'm older. NYC is a lonely place - people sometimes chat on the street or in a bus just to make a connection with somebody. If they know you are a "foreigner", they may be trying to make you feel welcome.

V CZ/SK je normálne, že ak je pri pokladniach menej zákazníkov, tak okamžite vyženú pokladníčky vykladať tovar, a tak v obchode aj s 30 pokladňami bežne nájdete otvorené 2 - 3. Opačne to však až tak rýchle nie je - musia sa vytvoriť "kilometrové" rady pred pokladňami pokým sa niekto rozhodne poslať aspoň jednu pokladníčku naspäť. Takto to funguje celý rok a rok čo rok. Jedinou výnimkou je keď príde "veľké zviera zo Západu" (z centrály reťazca). Vtedy samozrejme zoženú brigádnikov cez pracovné agentúry a v 30 pokladniach je nepretržite 30 pokladníčok. Keď "veľké zviera" odíde, všetko sa vráti do "bežného" režimu. (Zažil som to)

@@JackAddams Spíše naopak - když se začnou tvořit fronty, kvalifikovanější doplňovači zboží jsou od své hlavní práce narychlo odvoláni, aby na chvilku vypomohli na pokladně. Že by někoho volali naopak, z pokladny k doplňování zboží, to jsem ještě neviděl.

@@breznik1197 : Netvrdím, že to v inom obchode nemôže fungovať inak, ale ja som to zažil takto. Veľakrát.

Ano,to jsem chtěla napsat, že jsem se s někým o tom bavila a jistý obchod má třeba na zákazníka na markování časový limit.

I was horrified to see a glass of Barefoot wine for $12. That's more than the price for a whole bottle at the store, and it's not like it's even good wine!

Self check outs are the best. I hate the ones with weights tho... Always so slow. The ones without weight checking are so wuick to use if you just go grab a beer and crisps.

I have encountered "baggers" in South East Asia. The worst about that was the amount of plastic bags they used to pack a few things... And when we told them that they can use only one bag, they were very surprised why the hell would we want that.

Jsem ráda, že jste sledoval!

This is prety much on point. Those huge markets like Kaufland, Tesco, Albert or even Billa have hilarious traffic of customers and thats usually the reason why they are trying to get rid of you as soon as possible. Theres another factor as well though. The shopping culture in CZ is horrible, like realy,.Czech people throw away any manners or common decency as soon as they enter any kind of super/hyper market, If you watch them carefully it will remind you some zombie movie like Walking Dead. Everything they want, has to be done fast as they are in hurry for .... something rather, simply insert any random made up reason. If you fail to deliver they start calling you mean names or servant and all kinds of shit, i have never seen such behavior in UK. Iam working as a secutiry on various places one of which is hypermarkets / supermarkets. I wish that you and everyone else could see what iam seeing every day, you would understand. It is very sad, but sooner or later you will start to understand serial killers, no joke. But then again, this is our banana republic exclusivity.

někdo se v dopravě chce občas i vyspat, aspoň to je se domnívám důvod toho, že jsou lidi z ticha :-)

Aw thanks Mira!

This is really the best approach, but for some reason, I still find myself trying to bag at light speed.

But this is a double job.

@@marcelaprazakova3726 for the same reason i hate self-checkouts. You first have put all your shopping on the scale and bag it only after paying. A god save you if you put your bag on the scale in attempt to put your shopping right into it, you wont even be able to proceed to scanning your items. Who the hell came up with this idea?! Not only do i take twice as long to scan my shopping than the cashier lady, but moving all the items twice makes my 5 min shopping a 15 min hell!

@@martinajurickova5750 I think I've seen the option "my own bag" on self-checkouts at some chains. But never tried it yet.

@@martinajurickova5750 I always get some sort of error at the self-checkout, and then have to wait for an employee to come over and fix it. I would rather wait in line for a person than deal with that stress.

Maybe you dont go shopping a lot or you go to a particular store with nice chechout ladies😉I go shopping one or twice a week to various stores and unfortunatelly it still surely happens to me at least half of the time I pay there.

Glad you could relate Jitka!

Thank you Ica! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Not true. It's always very stressful for me as I feel the pressure to pay & get out quickly, esp. from the customers behind me. I think it's very rude from the businesses to put their customers in that position. A horrible Czech habit. In this area Americans really do better!

Thanks Jan! Happy that you’re watching!

Haha, you might have a point Jakub.

Ono za těch pár korun, co dělají, by možná někteří chtěli, aby jim ho u toho ještě vykouřila :P

Also it kinda fits the Czech mentality. I am not in "chore places" to socialise. I am there to do my chores. Be it at the doctor's waiting room, public transport or grocery store. When we go out to socialise you can tell we are out to socialise. No avoidance of eye contact, no book in hand or headphones, no "looking past you" absent minded looks. And we do that in places that make sense like pubs (even there we mostly keep to ourselves there), clubs, parks, beaches, stadiums, concerts etc. But in the grocery store, the only thing that interests me is getting out of the grocery store. I am not there to be inefficient. Check out ladies have trouble of their own and I do not care about hers as much as she does not care about mine. I'll honestly wish her a nice day because I worked in retail and I know the rat race it is and carry on.

Oh, but some are friendly :). I usually shop late in the evening, less people, and I find it amazing that after a long day the cashier is able to ad some sincere "have good evening, it´s finally colder outside" or something like that. They must feel like a non-person machine there, so it is nice for them as well to communicate a bit.. I often slip some nice word there as well, and I always get a nice reply. (and I hate small talk otherwise).

Nobody wants to wait in line for too long. I think that´s why Czechs prefer those self-check outs. When I decide to go through a cashier, and there´s a male cashier and a female cashier, I decide to go through the female cashier because they are usually much faster...

Exactly. In the retail chains, time per customer is measured and analysed.

Šikovná a rychlá pokladní zvládne mezi markováním klidně i konverzovat, nešikovná a pomalá je ve stresu, moc s ní nepokecáte a ještě nadělá spoustu chyb. Takže určitě je správné oceňovat a preferovat ty šikovné. Jiná věc je ten sociální aspekt. Ovšem kromě míst, kde práce frčí a odsejpá, je i řada jiných pracovních míst (i v maloobchodě), kde spíš hrozí, že se člověk unudí.

Oooh, cool! Where is the predominantly Czech community you live in? I bet you have so many interesting stories to tell about being dual-culture!

@@DreamPrague Here is the location of West, Tx and a little bit of History as described in the Wikipedia: ------ West is a city in McLennan County, Texas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city population was 2,531. It is named after K. West, the first postmaster of the city. The city is located in the north-central part of Texas, approximately 70 miles (110 km) south of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, 20 miles north of Waco and 120 miles north of Austin, the state's capital. Despite its name, the city is not located within the region of West Texas; area residents sometimes call the community "West comma Texas" to avoid repetition. As of 2012 it has one of the largest concentrations of Czech Texans of any city in the state. Contents History The first settlers of northern McLennan County arrived in the 1840s. They were farm and ranch families drawn from the east by the rich lands made available by the government sale of land to build schools in Texas. The area farmers cultivated the land and grew cotton, wheat, and grain sorghum, and raised cattle. The farming community centered around a freshwater spring that became known as Bold Springs. In 1860, Bold Springs had a population of about 300 and provided services such as a blacksmith, churches, and a post office.[8] The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad was laid between Hillsboro and Waco in the fall of 1881. The path of the railroad passed through land owned by Thomas West, who had moved to the area in 1859. He farmed land that he had purchased and served as postmaster of Bold Springs. A train depot was built on the land he sold to the railroad company and the land running beside the tracks was divided into small sections and sold to people wanting to start businesses. The new depot included a post office, and from that time forward it was known as the West Post Office. Mr. West served as postmaster and opened the first general store. He became a successful businessman and later owned a hotel, a furniture store, and a bank.[8] The railroad brought prosperity to the area during the 1880s. More businesses were opened and more surrounding land was purchased. Czech immigrants came to the area, purchasing the rich lands to farm and start a fresh life in the new world. They also opened businesses, sharing their European culture. By the 1890s, the Czech businesses flourished in West.[8] On June 11, 1892, West was officially organized into a town. It had become the center of commerce for the area. There were cotton gins, grocery stores, churches, schools, and doctors' offices.[8] The temporary city Crush, Texas, located just three miles (5 km) south of West, was the location of The Crash at Crush,[10] a head-on collision between two locomotives that was staged on September 15, 1896, as a publicity stunt for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. Over 30,000 spectators gathered at the crash site, named "crush" for MKT passenger agent William Crush, who conceived the idea. About 4 p.m. the trains were sent speeding toward each other. Contrary to mechanics' predictions, the steam boilers exploded on impact, propelling pieces of metal into the crowd. Two people were killed and many others injured, including Jarvis Deane of Waco, who was photographing the event and lost an eye. Texas Historical Marker 5315, located on Interstate 35 northbound frontage road, between Mangrum and Wiggins Road, commemorates the event.[11] The turn of the century brought electricity, running water, and natural gas. The population of West and surrounding area grew. Many of the descendants of the original settlers continue to farm the lands and run the businesses today. Czech is still spoken by some of the older residents.[12] ====== We still have a working farm(Ranching and Corps) that has been in our family since 1912 which I still manage today. Both my parents are Czech, Zatopek + Marak, came over in the 1880's through the port of Galveston from Frenstat Moravia, first settled in La Grange which is a city in Fayette County, Texas.
