What is cashier anxiety?

Cashier anxiety is a feeling of apprehension or nervousness that some individuals experience while working as cashiers. It can manifest as physical symptoms like sweating, shaking, or racing heartbeat, or it can be characterized by negative thoughts and self-doubt about their ability to perform well. Common causes of cashier anxiety include feeling overwhelmed by the demands of the job, fear of making mistakes, dealing with difficult customers, and pressure to meet expectations for sales and productivity. Left unaddressed, cashier anxiety can lead to burnout, job dissatisfaction, and even panic attacks. Some coping strategies for cashier anxiety include practicing deep breathing and relaxation techniques, breaking tasks down into smaller steps, seeking support from coworkers or a therapist, and getting adequate rest and self-care.
