Do you thank your cashier by name when checking out?

I always try from same experience

Either that or sometime during the transaction. They get enough nit-wits coming through and can use a friendly word.

I think people usually don't do that because they didn't see the badge. I personally wouldn't because it's not the norm where I live and the person on the other side could misconstrue my intentions.
I could probably do so if there's a female, which isn't common, except in the cosmetics section, which I have never been able to afford to visit.

cashiers?? I only do selfservice checkouts these days...

If they are particularly helpful or considerate.

That's kind of weird.

No. Absolutely not. I've been at conferences and people will look at my name tag and call me by my full name. (Only my grandma did that)

If I don't tell you my name... don't use it.

I don’t. It seems...intrusive to me somehow. I opt instead for eye contact and sincerity.

No

I usually don’t know their names but I do thank them 👍

How do I know their name? By the badge? I can do this unless it's a woman... 🤔

Wouldn’t it’ve been creepy from an old guy?

I do if I know them.

I do!!

I always chat briefly with anyone helping me if we have to interact. I joke with them. I tend to recieve great service, people remember me, they give me tips, freebies, extras all the time. Its something I always do. I worked retail for years also.
