    This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

          asking for a cashier?

          That would be normal

          “I don’t work here”

          Is a rude response to the question whether they would like to use the self-checkout.

            service is not something the client has to ask for but something the vendor provides. Just like you hold a door open for someone entering behind you, you provide that service, unasked. Having to ask for service is a failure in itself, it’s just “no service”.

          You mean demanding special attention rather than using the self-checkout like everyone else? Not sure I understand.

            I expect that the management is responsible for adequate staffing. Self-checkout typically doesn’t even work. Not a boomer, not USian, YMMV.

            “service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing
