We havent had cart attendant shifts in like 2 years...GSA/GSTL has to grab them or they ask salesfloor
i think you are right, i went to my store this evening and noticed that all the cashier are CA who works during the day .At our store our cart attendant hours got cut as well - they only close now. Any cart attendants scheduled during the day are scheduled as cashiers, but are expected to be both cashier and cart attendant.
Target wants people to do their grocery shopping there & is too stupid ..... too greedy..... to follow the lead of successful grocery stores who make SURE their parking lots aren't full of carts that crash into parked cars or take up valuable parking space. And they make SURE customers have shopping carts available so they don't have to limit themselves to a few things they can carry.
Nothing says class like a parking lot full of abandoned carts & nowhere to park because the carts are blocking the spots!
We still schedule cart attendants, but they are expected to do quite a lot of tasks. In addition to the normal cart tasks of filling the cart wells, checking restrooms and cleaning spills. They also fill bags at the checklanes, work reshop, work pulls, chip in with the zone, package defectives at the end of the night and handle any cardboard for the baler or trash for the compactor.
