I Am An Introvert

I am a cashier. I got my annual review at work yesterday and I was told I have to be friendly and smile more for my customers. I do plenty of that, it's just that because I'm so quiet, I only greet, ask how they are, and make sure they found everything ok. Then I tell them to have a nice day, all with a smile and positive attitude. What the review actually means, in my opinion, is that I need to strike a conversation like the rest of the cashiers. I suck at those! I wanted to laugh so hard the moment I heard this part of my review! Somehow I kept a straight face.

I don't want to have conversations with cashiers. As long as you're courteous, that's all that should be required. I find it annoying when cashiers comment on what I'm buying or ask me too many questions. Just "hello" and "have a nice day" are all I want to hear in the way of conversation. I like to keep it minimal.
You're doing okay. If I went into your store, I'd be sure to get in your line. :)
Take care.
