Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    I’m mean, it’s literally in the name. These are not concepts that require a degree to understand, much less an hour long meeting.

    Logout means ending your user session, restart means your computer turns off and then comes back on, and shutdown means it turns off and stays off.

    The buttons are all in the start menu, they are clearly marked, and these concepts have existed for 30 years at least.

    It’s like driving a car for decades and not knowing what the difference between reverse, drive, and neutral are.

      I still think your promoting the view of “this is obvious to me so it should be obvious to everyone”. Even your explanation would be confusing for someone who’s not an IT guy - what does it mean “end my user session?” People rarely go to the start menu to deal with their computers’ “on-ness”, they just press the hardware button that has an incomplete circle with a line on top or often no marking or label at all. Or they close the lid and that makes them think of their laptop as “off”.
