And that's what I originally thought. Being a cashier isn't rocket science. How hard can it be? But it's all the fine print and 'reading between the lines'. And the 'yes to the guest'.....so many scammers....it's insulting to my intelligence , to say 'yes'....to a thief! And yes, they're...

So I've been reading through the posts and I'm starting to think this isn't a secure job. For instance, 'rope to hang themselves with'. Meaning not informing new employees that they're making mistakes, so they can later use that list of errors to fire them on a whim. Seems very unethical. Even...

Ours was only busy 1 hour on Thursday. Then dead. But Friday was a fairly steady stream.

I only had to do one price adjustment. It was a doll for Monster High. She had picked out 5 that were 5$ as per the ad and 1 for 12.99$ (she'd grabbed the wrong one. She said it was with all the others. She was the only one. Everyone else had picked the 5$ dolls. Since it was a Monster High...

Hilarious! The lengths people will go to.

OMG! Hilarious! This pic right here....this is why I avoid crowds. Well, today, the other employees said, it went well last year, so hopefully it stays that way!

I'd just love one with the Spot Dog on it. I may order one after Christmas, but I want one with a BIG dog on it. Those doggy stickers are such a hit with the little ones. Our town is 90% kids. They're everywhere. Seems like the dog is the way to go, in our neck of the woods.

ugh! yeah...the bags.....that can really slow down the line. They're the cause of my misery! WHY?!?! Everytime. I know folks r trying to help, but that sooooo does not help!

I haven't even noticed my speed. It wasn't mentioned in my training, but I figure it must be fine, so far only a couple of long sales...and they were getting RedCards or forgot something.

I don't know your name, because I've only been there around 4 weeks, but stop trying to run your own sale. According to your id, you're 19. I know this, because after you kept telling me what buttons to push, didn't know your account was empty, kept trying to go for that qualifying gift card ...

Thank you. I was told yesterday, that we don't price match Black Friday ads, so I expect a little backlash from that, but if that's all I have to worry about, then hopefully it'll go ok. I kept envisioning all the drama on youtube, from Black Friday sales everywhere. LOL

So I was chatting with a friend, who used to work retail. She said one of her managers actually received a cracked rib during Black Friday, due to a stampede. So....how bad is it for Spot? Thank you....New Nervous Cashier

iPads...hands down. My kids love'em. My 10 year old has the mini, my teen has the regular one. They're worth every penny. They're quicker, perfect in waiting rooms (make sure you get a case! Survivor or Otter). Honestly, you'll never go back. This year, we're going for the mini for my other kid...

Thank you;)

So, I'm a newbie. I found this site on Google (while trying to figure out how to 'say yes to the guest', without allowing 'scammers and stealing'...long story) As I've been reading the post, I have no idea what many of the job titles are....yeah, I'm that new. I know TM=Team Member & TL=Team...
