My name is Anna. Im 31 years old with a degree in literature and a life story that is both completely ordinary and a little bit unusual

Former cashier Anna Sam offers an insiders peek at what really goes on behind the register. In the wise and witty voice of the college-educated, underpaid retail worker, Sam comments on everything from ill-cut uniforms, to drunken customers, to Express Lane tricks. Filled with hilarious and hair-raising observations, Checkout Girl is a great gift for anyone who has ever been, or had an encounter with, a supermarket cashier.

About the Author

Unable to find work after graduating from college, Anna Sam became a cashier full time and started a blog about her experience. This led to the publication of Les tribulations d’une caissière, which sold over 250,000 copies in France alone. A film and play based on her memoir are in development.
