Where I work, we have a system where we call each customer to the next free cashier with a prompter set at the end of the row of registers. But sometimes they don’t wait for the prompter; they just dash up to your register as soon as they see the customer before them leave. And let me tell you Internet, if you don’t want to piss off your Cashier Robin, do not. fucking. ever. do this. We have the prompter for a reason, and our system is faster and easier than trying to mob the checkouts. If I haven’t called you yet I’m probably clearing returns from my register, or hangers, or trash, or I might be getting more cash or receipt paper, or my manager might be pulling my drawer, or any fucking thing that isn’t just immediately serving you.

Revenge is sweet when I either make them wait as I perform all of these duties anyway, or tell them and their already half-emptied cart to head to the next cashier because I’m fucking closed.
