From the point of view of many customers, the division of goods on the cash tape is mandatory. But who has to put the stick on the treasurer?
The goods separator on the cash register is mandatory, many say – and annoy themselves when other customers do not use it. After all, he should clearly separate the purchases of the individual customers. Hence the name. And the goods separator is also helpful when collecting. It shows which products belong on the tape which customer. This saves time -consuming cancellations because too much goods have been pulled over the scanner.
But how is the goods separator placed correctly on the treasurer? Before or behind the shopping?
According to a survey by the “Food Zeitung”, the majority of respondents (over 80 percent) believe that the division of goods must be put on the cash tape behind its own purchases. This is both logical and effective and polite. This is the only way to know the following customer that he can place his goods on the treasurer.
Rainer Erlinger, doctor, lawyer and author, explains in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” that the divine division is not only used out of courtesy. “Almost always you can see from the faces that this is about something like district delimitation, often paired with sub- or exuberant allegations that you draw this border or just not pulled,” said the expert.
For Erlinger, the placement of the goods separator has a symbolic effect on the social environment. Be it courtesy or delimitation.
However, those who should place the separator does not answer Erlinger. The courtesy is generally more important to other customers and the cashier.
