Hey, seddit. I'm an 18 year old cashier at a grocery store. What are some games/exercises I can use at work (dealing with hundreds of people a day) to improve my game?

Small talk and create chemistry in the tiny window of opportunity you have. Do this to everyone. Be as charming to old women as you would be with younger. Treat men and kids in a way that shows you respect them, but demands respect in return.

I only do this when i feel like it or when they seem nce. I started off slowly, but now it's going great. As in It's (finally) authentic. This is great practise for learning how to give good vibes and immediately become more attractive as soon as you interact with someone. This is a great chance for you to develop your skills at an important stage of your life and be good at your job at the same time. Seize it :)

(When i dont feel like being charming i just act like the average salesman. After all, they dont expect more)

Practice your voice. I worked in a customer service job where I had an endless line of people waiting for me to help them fill out complex forms. I noticed that when I became fatigued, my speech patterns and tone became unpleasant and it seriously affected how effective my communication was. I was using just a few repetitive interactions, so I could vary my presentation and see how it worked. I improved a lot over a few weeks.

Start by simply being the overly extroverted smiling idiot that your boss wants you to be. After a few people calm down a bit. Start to loosen up and joke around with customers a bit

. When i was a cashier I would say funny things off the top of my head. (scans 1 pair of socks) "Alright that'll be $95.86." (she laughs and swipes) "wow, you, you're actually going through with this I think that's a slightly outrageous price but you do you." (she laughs with me).

Just entertain yourself like that.

Really try and ask someone an interesting question about them. Try to find something unique about them ask them about it and try to relate to them personally. I worked as a server for years and you can seduce an entire table in 30 seconds doing that. And when it comes to flirting with the ladies...try and say something, anything at all to make them smile or giggle. If you can practice one thing, that should be it. Your wax on /wax off training if you will. To lead you to more "waxing" in the future if you catch my drift..

Give compliments! Notice something about them that they seem to care about, their hair, their clothes or their expensive brand greek yoghurt.

Don't overdo it, and never compliment on something you don't really like. Let it be genuine and it'll become easier. Ease into it slowly, compliments about clothes are always good. Compliments about their groceries might be too personal, in a way. I mean, I wouldn't really enjoy a cashier mentioning the tons of candy I buy every time. I guess you gotta find the boundaries yourself. Complimenting is a personal thing, you go out of your way to notice something about a person and tell them you like it or something. It's something between you and them.

Giving compliments is a lot of fun and will also be good for your job, as customers will appreciate it!

Awesome. Try a new opener/joke everyday. Say the same exact thing to everyone on the day making a note of how effective it was. Take the ones that seemed to work best into your everyday game.

Eye contact. Try and hold more relaxed eye contact with people and become comfortable with it.

If you don't already, smile! At everyone! :)

Make comments about the size of vegetables in womens' baskets.

If you are interested in a woman, just straight up ask her for her name and if they are single.

You would be surprised how much this works.
