This poem by Kimberly Rigsby is exactly how I feel about work! The waiting, the boredom, the customers; it all gets so tedious after a while.
I would like to see a bit more to the poem though, maybe add another interaction of somesort, or talk about restalking the priduct, etc. I will tell you this, the simplicity is perfect!

Cashier
By Kimberly Rigsby
The time goes by
Slower than ever.
Only two hours left
I say to myself.

I grab a box, beep.
How may more days,
Beep, months, and years
Will I be here, beep.

"That's $27.53, sir."
I take the cash,
And give some back.
"Have a good day."

"Yyou too, Miss."
Have a good day?
I can have a good day
In one hour and 58 minutes.
