营销工程师是为营销人员准备的，设计工程师是为设计师准备的，卫生工程师是为清洁工准备的——所以按照这个逻辑，收银工程师将是为那些在结账时为你服务的人准备的。

Marketing engineer for marketing people, design engineer for designers, sanitation engineer for janitors — so by that logic, cashier engineer would be next for the people who ring you up at checkout.
What is up with this title inflation? Why call yourself an engineer just because you write software? To me, engineers are people who build things and take full responsibility for them — designing a bridge where thousands of lives are in your hands, building an airplane engine, filtering a city's water supply. Not pressing keys on a machine.
