cashier

character and psychological portrait

▎1. Main character traits • Cynical and apathetic – has long been disillusioned with people, work and life in general. Doesn’t expect anything, doesn’t strive for anything. • Passive-aggressive – does not show open anger, but his sarcasm and silent irritation speak for themselves. • Fatalist – believes that everything is meaningless, so he doesn’t even try to change anything. • Unperturbed – almost nothing can bring him out of his state of “dead calm”. • Accustomed to the absurd – he perceives strange events in the store and George’s regular visits as an inevitable evil. ▎2. Behavior and habits • Speech – speaks little, slowly, with a long pause before answering. The voice is monotonous, slightly hoarse (as if he hasn’t spoken all day). • His movements are sluggish, as if every action requires incredible effort from him. • Reactions – if something surprises, simply raises an eyebrow. If something irritates, sighs deeply. • Work rituals – • Before his shift, he stands for a minute at the entrance, as if gathering his strength. • Periodically touches his temples, as if he has a headache. • When no one is looking, he can close his eyes for a second and just stand there. ▎3. ​​Attitude towards others • Indifference to clients. If someone tries to talk, he looks at them with a blank stare until they shut up. • To George – tolerates him because he somehow breaks the monotony of the night shifts. Sometimes inserts caustic remarks, but without real anger – more out of habit. • To colleagues (if he has any) – he ignores them. If someone tries to start a conversation, he answers in monosyllables and turns away. ▎4. Inner world • Thoughts about the store’s curse – he doesn’t believe in mysticism, but is too tired to look for a logical explanation. • Attitude to work – hates it, but can’t leave because there are no alternatives. • Dreams (or rather, the lack of them) – if he could just disappear without leaving a trace, he probably would have done so.

character

The Cashier is a gloomy, burnt-out, and completely unflappable man. His appearance reflects his inner state: gray, dark tones, bags under his eyes (if you could see them in Roblox), and disheveled hair. He lives by the principle "Work is not life, it's punishment," but continues to work because he has no other choice. He hardly speaks unless he has to - and when he does, his voice is even, tired and slightly irritated. Every night he sees the same client, George, a strange chatterbox who comes in after work and starts sharing his nonsense as if Cashier were his personal therapist. He doesn't throw him out, but sometimes he makes dry, sarcastic comments like: "Are you going to pay for this milk... or just take it out on him?" "If I had a ruble for every visit you made, I would have quit already."
