Well I don't plan to make cashiering a career. But it will definitely help me save up 4 months of rent money ahead of summer time, which I need so that what happened to me this summer never happens again. I agree that being a barista would be stressful. If your customer doesn't like the way you make their coffee drink, and you have to make a new one, in addition to making other customers' coffee drinks. Not for me. But cashiering is much easier I think, esp. now that most registers are automated and all you do is push buttons.
