This is not a glamorous job, nor a glamorous company; its a grocery chain. Additionally, if you're working in a store environment, the hectic pace and customer grievances can lead to a fair amount of stress.

-Sometimes hard work doesn't cut it. Some people who were raised to a level of supervisor have been known to be lazy or break the rules, while more hard working employees were passed up. I don't know why this is. -They're very speed oriented, which isn't always a good thing. A lot of the "fast" checkers are also some of the more careless ones - they'll send bread down the belt and it ends up squished, or they'll send packages of meat down the belt and they'll pile up and break open. Certain things known to get "eaten" by the register will be sent down as well, and the customer may never get home with them. They use your checker speed as an evaluation of how well you're doing at your job, but they fail to take into consideration whether or not you're treating your customer's groceries with care. As long as you bag them right, it seems to not be an issue with them. - Non-front end work can be taxing, and there will be days when the only time you get a break is when lunch time comes around. Even though it doesn't sound like it, standing up for 4-5 hours straight is really tiring.
