        Pros

        I seem to attract all the nice customers with my "treat others how you want to be treated" mindset. I have very few unruly customers and love interacting with everyone I meet in work.

        Cons

        Because a lot of people seem to like coming to my till, I end up with a huge line despite other tills being open. People then try complain there's no tills even though there's at least 2 or more extra open.

                      Worker IN Tech

                      Listened to the debate tonight. Imagine going to an interview and behaving that way. Criticizing the other candidates, trying to find fault in other candidates and interrupting the hiring manager. Would that work???
