A supermarket cashier faces a heavy workload and cannot decide when to take a break. This combination of conditions is called:

1. Stressful occupations share two common denominators: a heavy workload, and uncertainty about and lack of control over parts of the job. 2. Together these produce job strain, a work situation combining excessive job demands and workload with little discretion in decision making or job control. 3. Low-status jobs such as factory work, supermarket cashiering and taxi driving often carry job strain, including an inability to decide when to take breaks. 4.

Daily hassles are everyday irritations outside work, and eustress is a beneficial level of stress, so neither describes these conditions. _Source: OpenStax Psychology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 14 "Stress, Lifestyle, and Health", section 14.2 Stressors_
