Still new obviously, but I feel like talking and making friends with the TLs for certain areas is the best way to get cross trained/more hours. I keep getting asked by other TLs if I want to move to HL or Starbucks permanently. My ETL GE finally caught wind of that (Usually work with the other...

I had a guy pay with a roll of quarters today. I also had a lady sign up for a red card and pay with 76 1$ bills. That was tough to count. Also, if you guys have them TD bank has a free coin counter for people that have an account there.

GSAs are expected to cross train in Starbucks/Food Ave/Service Desk. They perform tasks similar to your GSTL (change, lane lights, carts, strays, breaks, returns etc) without the leadership responsibilities. It really does sound like you are doing quite well. Keep up the good work.

They could have been waitresses too. They get a lot of singles. @Food Aver: I think I was just ranty with that particular guest though because he probably took nearly 20 mins of my time total, between getting the ps4, deciding on accessories, and just counting and miscounting the money. I had...

To the guest that bought a ps4, I understand that you want to pay cash for it, but did you really have to pay in mostly 5s and 10s? It took me forever to count that, especially since you counted it out several times yourself silently. Stupid phone kept interrupting my counting too. More...

To the first guest I helped in electronics, Thanks for being patient with me today as we were both new to looking for things in that area of the store. We did eventually find what you were looking for and your daughter did settle on an ipod size/color. All is well in the world.

Electronics shift done! It was harder than I thought at first, but I got the hang of it. I apparently am too neat freak with the zone and keep making things look too nice. Toys was impossible to zone, but I did it with the help of one ETL and 2 SF TMs. Did end the night with all the strays...

To that one seasonal cashier who didn't know about the CC thing before, I heard you quit despite being kept on. Remind me to ask GSTL if I can pick up your hours next week and possibly every week.

So this happened today: Guest argues with me over the price of an item and holds up my line while GSTL goes to price check it. Eventually it is decided that the guest can have the item for 5.99 because it was put back in the wrong spot and the guest was being insufferable about it. Guest: If...

@ZombiePanties31: Try talking to your TL about training in more areas. If you are friendly with any ETLs or TLs in different areas you might be able to pick up some shifts for the seasonal people being let go. I did this with electronics and Hardlines in my store since there aren't enough CA...

So, HL shift is over. It was literally easier than cashiering somehow. I was just putting back strays the whole day. Seems everyone else was focused on changing endcaps so I just did strays for all the full carts (3 for E/F, 1 for A/B, 1 overflowing one for C/D in 5 hrs). Pretty easy, helped...

I know this feel. I actually talked to my GSTL after the first day of this (New Years) and they started scheduling one extra cashier the rest of the week. I feel my store needs a minimum of 3 at closing time to be done, zoned and keep the lines short enough where we only occasionally need...

The only story I have concerns clearance stickers. Make sure the clearance sticker, when scanned or manually entered matches the product type. For example, if you manually type the number off a 2.89 clearance sticker found on a teal shirt and it doesn't say something like TEAL BLOUSE S or...

Speaking of closing on New Years my store was done around 10:30 with a skeleton crew and I was talking to the Sales Floor TL as we were wrapping up. Me: Did you need help with that thing that needs to get done until midnight? TL: What thing? Me: You know, that thing, until midnight... TL...

Most of the kids we get at my store are pretty chill and just hang out and are too shy to even say hi. Some are even friendly, but then there are the other ones, ones like this: Veruca Salt incarnates are the worst.

Yeah I will be crosstraining in electronics soon, so I plan to tell all of the cashiers, SD TMs and HL TMs the proper way to do it once I have done it a few times. I want everything to be as easy as possible for everyone involved.

Best of luck. Just stay positive and look for another job if you feel so inclined. If you ever come back to Spot we will see you again. As advice for those that are sick, I would say to come in and if the ETLs think you are too sick they will send you home and give away your next shifts to...

One of the CAs at my store calls out constantly so I have ample opportunity for hours. Between that and all the seasonal cashiers/sales floor being let go (me being retained mostly as cashier) I have lots of hours opportunity. I get asked to stay late every day I work. I generally work 6 days...

Like I said, I will have to check it out when I go back into work (off today). I don't think I have ever seen a coupon where it has space to write stuff like this though. Mostly get the ones we print off from the registers and ones from the add. It is possible the GSTLs handle the coupons...

When I first started as cashier, a new SD TM told me to wind down all the spider locks as far as they go. Later an Electronics TM told me not to do that, so my new strategy is to wind them all the way down, but keep them open. Saves space and allows opening. If I ever encounter one going off...
