Ah, I see. One of the LODs (I *think* she is our store's overall manager but I'm not totally clear on that) told me that *everyone* works BF, no exceptions. So I was quite surprised to see how untrue that was on the posted schedule. But if that means I might have some days off around Christmas...

8AM-6PM. Cashiering. They don't schedule me up there enough for me to be 'good' at it. Or to even know how to handle half the things I have to do. I still struggle with spider-wrap. I guess it's better than being on the floor? How do I get away for breaks? They surely don't expect me to get...

Really? I can't think of a store that doesn't have one. Off the top of my head, Walmart, TJMaxx, Marshall's, and Ross come to mind. Buuut... now that I think about it, Kohl's doesn't have fitting room attendants. I don't clothing shop often or at many places, though, so maybe my sample is biased.

Is it that hard to carry the hangers that you took IN to the fitting room back OUT to me? Or to keep track of the plastic number? And seriously, who are all you people who don't understand the basic concept of fitting rooms? The reason my desk is in front of them is not so you can waltz right by...

The new fitting room rules I got didn't say anything about walking guests to the rooms or checking after each individual guest. Maybe I misread, we stay so busy that I hardly have time to read it while I'm working, much less have time to do that. Half the time I'm taking a phone call while...

I absolutely dread closing shifts because I know that I'll rarely get to leave at the time I'm scheduled to leave (10:30 Sundays and 11:30 the rest of the week, for my store). It makes me feel trapped knowing that I don't have a set clock out time and can be forced to stay at the whims of...

I always laugh to myself (never out loud or at them, though!) when guests do this. Do you have any idea how many times that has probably been on the floor already? Unless there is an obvious spill on the belt, it's probably much cleaner than the floor!

I don't mind them, but they can be hard to get started since there's no good way to prop one open. Usually once I can get one or two big items in them, they will stay open, though, and from there on it's pretty easy. I like them since I can usually fill them up very fully and not have to worry...

Oh, wow. I would love it if anyone who came through my line organized their stuff on the belt. We don't really have a space where someone could bag their own stuff. Does your store have check lanes set up like a grocery store? Ours doesn't have anywhere for us to set things that we haven't...

Glad to know it's not just my store. I've been cashiering a lot recently, and the bags are more likely to rip in half than to separate neatly. I've been double bagging so many things because the first bag tore through or the handle ripped apart, making the whole thing useless. It's even worse...

I should have known. It would be far too convenient for me to be able to do something outside the store. Thanks so much!

Not surprisingly, I've been having tons of issues with eHR since I was hired. I can now log in at home, but tonight every time I do anything at all, I get logged out. All I want to do is request one day off and I can't even find where to do it. I can barely explore the eHR site to figure out...

Thanks! I know it isn't working off the clock, I just didn't know if they objected to people walking into that area in normal clothes in case customers see or something. Like I said, stupid question. But now I have one more, what does TSC stand for? Edit: Nevermind, I found the definitions...

I'm not scheduled to work again until next week, but I'd like to go in and check my schedule (the one just posted) tomorrow since I'm going by anyway. Am I allowed to go in the break room in normal clothes? Or do I need to show up and "blend in" to go back there? Sorry if this is a stupid...

Oh, thanks for that!
