The employee then admitted: "Checkouts are without a doubt the most mind numbing, infuriating and downright worst place to be. Sometimes it genuinely feels like being in purgatory, like you're being punished for something you've done."

However, they acknowledged: "Albeit, I feel like it's dependent on WHO you're working alongside, and who your team leader is".

The Tesco worker then listed 10 things that "seriously p**s me off to oblivion while working checkouts". To kick things off, the employee revealed that the bags of carrot sticks, which can be grabbed as a snack with a meal deal, are a major source of frustration for workers.

They elaborated: "You know which ones I'm talking about, the ones where the barcode is always messed up so you need to type in the product number every time.

"It's not that bad until you have five people on your belt gradually losing their patience while you fumble over these carrot sticks, getting the code wrong every single time."
