Liquor Store Diary: Tip Cup January 28, 2010
There is a tip cup that sits near the debit keypad. When I was being trained, I asked why a clerk would need a tip cup. The girl training me said that she thought it was crazy too.

Liquor Store Diary: Judgement Day January 14, 2010
Shopping is a precarious adventure that has many perils and rewards. At the end of every shopping trip is the checkout line where a clerk being paid minimum wage silently judges you based on your purchases.
