    Archived Black Thursday/Friday 2016 War Stories

    Mine was fine. This is from a friend of mine, who was cashiering for the first time back in electronics. (She's a 50+ year old mom, i love her) Guest: *like one minute after we opened, dude RAN to the back of the store* WHERE'S MY FUCKING LAPTOP TM: Excuse me? Guest: *slams down ticket* I GOT...

    Archived Hello, would you like...

    Yeah I heard that. I've gotten into such a habit of saying it and 90% of the time they say no, they asked someone and we either simply don't carry the item or it's out of stock (in which case I remind them about target.com blah blah blah). I'm also cross trained enough to know where most thngs...

    "Hi did you find everything alright today?" (yes/no, if no ask them "Is it something I can help you find?") "Any coupons or cartwheel today?" (yes/no/what's cart wheel? "Cartwheel is our smartphone coupon app, it has a lot of coupons on it ranging from 5 to 50% off, a lot of guests like it...

    Archived The 15% Off....

    We were told not to do it. People still complained. "So you're going to make me go all the way to the back and buy it again?" Yes. Bye.

    Archived Hours..

    Would you quit your job if you won the local jackpot?

    I'm 22 so it'd have to be a lot of money for me to retire now. I'd quit and go to school full time and then I'd still work. I'm really passionate about my studies and the idea of doing nothing would kill me.

    Archived Self-Checkouts

    We got self check out in May. We have the IGS setup and SCO are directly across from them. We started with the GSTMs having to run both GS and SCO which was really frustrating, now we have a dedicated SCO person from 11-7:30 which is somehow even worse. Said SCO person cannot help GS at all but...

    Archived DTL Gave Certain Worker Centers Permission to Wear Black Shirts.

    Last year of Thanksgiving/BF/that whole weekend, backroom wore street clothes. I didn't recognize them at first and was really confused when a guy in jeans and a football jersey started handing me stuff.

    Archived How do you get to work?

    I either take the bus (20 minutes), my mom drops me off on her way to work + picks me up on her way home (we work the same closing shift in the same direction, 15 minutes), or my parents drop me off and pick me up. I'm taking my drivers test on Friday and when I pass I'll either drive myself or...

    Archived free gift cards

    There are typically two types of people who do this: they either buy their diapers or tide and then use the giftcard for the rest of their groceries, or they'll set aside a $5ish item and use it for that. That we don't really care about, and I can't fault someone already buying $200ish worth of...

    Archived Unfair scheduling + asking for more mornings

    Probably. It doesn't help that there are cashiers who get the same amount of hours who have extremely limited availability. Personally, if someone only can work 8-5 5 days a week, and someone else can work 8-11pm 7 days a week, the latter person should get more hours. It's getting to the point...

    Archived Unfair scheduling + asking for more mornings

    So I just tallied up how many times over the past three months I've gotten off before 6pm vs after 6pm. 14 times before, 32 after (most of them being until 10 or 11pm), one exactly at 6pm and one overnight. I have mostly open availability (all hours and days except tuesday and thursday). I don't...

    Archived What to do when your cart attendant doesn't show up?

    He started as backroom, then was moved to CA. His reasoning was he got a better job across town and couldn't make it on time. They let him transfer but not after ripping him a new one.

    Archived What to do when your cart attendant doesn't show up?

    We had a cart attendant who would either be chronically late or NCNS/call off. If we couldn't get anyone to stay and do it the salesfloor would be alerted and every so often the LOD and some of the salesfloor would go out and get carts. LOD would handle defectives. Salesfloor would take turns...

    Archived Your weekly hours and position?

    I'm technically keyed in as a "cashier" but I am 90% guest service. I close the service desk every monday and tuesday, and open it most fridays. I average 29-35 hours a week.
