Sometimes i would scan items twice or i would close the register before i got all the change out.
I loved being around customers and coworkers. Even though i got stressed, i enjoyed coming to work each and everyday and the bad part is they won't rehire me.
Treating people with dignity and respect.

Yes, we've been building and working toward our social media platform dedicated to empowering America's workforce for over a year.
Yes, we have had it somewhat live for a number of weeks now.
Yes, we have a number of new features and updates that will be deployed over the coming weeks onsite and in the Apps in iTunes and Googleplay stores.
But...
We are now formally launching Jobcase.com today!
press release here.... http://prn.to/1FfppY1
It is so fun and exciting to spend each day guided by thoughts of how to empower people to earn more for their family, and to enjoy a more rewarding work-life.
Looking forward to much success measured by one empowered, satisfied Jobcaser at a time...
Jobcaser-of-the-day is just the start. Jobcasers of the day not only get extra exposure as a candidate but also a $100 Amazon gift certificate to spend as they best see fit.
Stay tuned. We have lots more contests of skill coming up such as.. Best picture of your workplace. Best answer to a question. Best praise of a co-worker.
Just another way how we celebrate Jobcasers helping Jobcasers!
(rules posted on Jocase site - just look for contest tabs for details).
I have been sharing in the frustrations of some Jobcasers this week.
Some made some bad decisions in their past and so have a felony record, but are ready to move forward having paid their societal debts. Shouldn't they be given a chance? How about a chance to even meet and explain the past and articulate what they have to offer in the future. Just to be considered? Turns out there are some employers who think the answer is 'no' across the board.
Other Jobcasers have an extra challenge to overcome such as Autism or ADHD. But many employers are not interested in starting an employment conversation despite there being a TON of examples of how people with extra-ordinary challenges so often bring extra-ordinary efforts and results.
Here's my thought about these potential employers. FORGET THEM! They really aren't worth your time.
Here's the good news. There are plenty of GREAT employers who would love to hear your story and give you a chance.
Heres the strategy: Focus on finding the great ones - not complaining or trying to change the ignorant ones.
So if you have a tougher 'story' to sell as a prospective employee. Don't let your emotions get the better of you if a jerk rejects you without any individual consideration for who you are or what you offer-- just FORGET THEM, and move on to finding employers who will consider you as an individual and who may prove to be the exact right fit for what you want! Job search takes a lot of energy. Don't spend that energy on trying to change someone who won't - spend it on finding those who are interested in listening to begin with. Much less energy to spend, much happier path, and much greater probability of success.
But as you find an ignorant one - be sure to post who to avoid here at Jobcase. You can review your interview process in the company sections - (be sure to find the right location). This way other jobcasers in similar spot as you can avoid wasting any time or energy knocking on the same ignorant door.
Jobcasers helping Jobcasers.
Its what this site is all about.
Its what is going to help give you ever more power in your work-life.

I once had the great opportunity of getting to know John Reed a bit (really successful banker/businessman who businesspeople know as the guy who built Citibank, and everyone else would know as the guy who put ATM's on every corner!).
I was in a business session with him when a friend asked him this question: "ok, I know you keep saying how important ethics are in business, so how come my experience is that the managers who are real scumbags seem to do so well..."
John Thought.
John didn't say much for a few minutes.
Then said something I've always remembered.
"I think your observation might have merit. There are some people who seem to have absolutely no moral compass and they do seem to do quite well in this life. But most all successful people I know are incredibly honest and full of integrity. As I sit here and think, I can't think of anyone who has an extraordinary amount of success that is just a 'little corrupt' though. So, in thinking, you just need to choose. Do you want to pursue a course of success with integrity as your moral compass, or corruption. Choose. but once you do. Never waver.". "And, oh yeah, eventually the corrupt road collapses - its not only the less honorable road, but its the more temporary one".
Or at least thats the quote concept I remember - in fairness to John.
You will be faced with many many moral decisions in your work-life. The smallest compromise in your integrity that may even seem meaningless at the time will quickly lead to bigger ones. Avoid these landmines. Always remember to be honest in the workplace. Always keep your integrity. Even if it looks the harder road at certain times. In the long run it will always pay off. Both in the way you think of yourself, and in the way others will reward you professionally and personally!
