Yes, I would. I previously worked as a cashier at a busy big-box retailer, and the environment during holiday sales was incredibly hectic. Cashiers were given scores based on the speed at which they completed checking out customers, and too many low scores resulted in discipline from the lead cashier. Many of my coworkers regularly complained that the system was unfair. I embraced the challenge, however, by focusing on the things I could control and ignoring the things I couldn't. This strategy made me the fastest cashier in the store and kept my stress level low.
