Archived Trying my best

[instocks3years]

Hi all trying my best to turn my attitude around, any buzz words or key items that would make your day go better?

Drinking heavily when the day is over?

Well, since I have to be there cashiering I figure I may as well make the most of it. I talk to the guests and their kids. I tell them "Oh this is cute!" or "Wow, that's a great deal!" Makes them feel good about their choices.
Oh, and I try and make sure to tell them about Cartwheel. Since I didn't get a raise this year, by golly, I'm gonna make sure people get as many discounts as I can possibly come up with.

Its very hard to have a good attitude when the company is in such bad shape.
All the changes and cuts at a rapid pace is not good!

Global, I have learned more from these forums. still waiting to b told of the new changes I just do not get it. *sigh*

Theres lots of new changes the dumb 4x4s, instocks, be bold! The emails saying were not working hard enough. The thing that gets me through the day is knowing im fortunate to have a job.

For key items to make your day better move to Colorado or Washington...
You know why.

So much is busywork that has no real purpose except for metrics which, again, serve no real purpose.
So people at corp can look like they're doing something to chart what others are doing.
What a waste.

Honestly I try to have a positive attitude and I tell people about cartwheel and sales that are going on or might not know about...but it is hard to do all that when you are constantly being called out for every call box, every back up call, and are being audited on if you are vibing with guests or not. Failed that one today btw! Guess I'm not allowed to help my team.

I used to call people out and complain over the walkie, but I try not to do that anymore. I just keep my mouth shut and try to remain positive. I'm not going to help them by offering suggestions. That's management's job.

Finally had my review ETL was very apologetic, she thought TL gave it to me.
It was better then I thought it was going to be.
So negative on myself, for sure thought I was going to get a U on everything.
Did my first 4 x 4 today, oh my gosh how do I not spend so much time in one aisle, seemed like I was there forever lol.
Anyways hope you all have a great day.

I use vodka, optional, perhaps, sedation, Xanax, machete, and nap as my buzz words... Seriously though they just like to hear things like fabulous, fantastic, wonderful, happy to hear this etc... If there's some sort of negativity involved try to "sandwich it" with positive "TL I had a wonderful vibe moment with a guest, task list is incomplete, I'm going to take care of my priority pulls and write out my vibe cards have a great day!"
Its total bulls*&** but it works in my store, it took my two years to do this, I almost died choking on my tongue but it keeps them away from me for the most part.

Like the douche bags that come to my counter, bark out their order & ask me off-handedly "How's yer day going'?"
I'm repressing the urge to respond "No homicide incidents up to this point but it's still early...."

I had a shift today where I was depending on communication from people. I stayed calm most of the day.
