I've been doing carts now for about a month and before that on and off when we needed help with carts and it's interesting to see the variety in how people prefer to get carts in the store.
Personally, I've hand pushed exclusively and used the pusher exclusively. I hand pushed when I was figuring out the parking lot and it just felt faster because I had no idea how to use the pusher to my advantage, it just got in my way. But I figured out my parking lot and how to control carts and how to use the weather to my advantage or disadvantage.
Feel free to share your opinions on being a CA as well.
I hate that my store only schedules a closer and no mids to help with carts at a busy Super target that has the lowest taxes in the region. "payroll" lol and then when I'm pushing a big line in or in the process of collecting carts and an urgent call to clean a spill is put to my attention and I have to just bring in my 8-10 carts that could of been 30 to go clean up a spill and come back to Grocery side of my store with all the carts I've pushed in significantly depleted by customers and the GSA is asking me to get carts in on Softlines side.(this has actually never happened just an extreme exaggeration lol but everything else is true.)
As I was clocking out for my cart attendant midshift I saw a little girl spill some water in front of the check lanes next to our softner salt pallet and I went to buy some chips to go home and the CA that came in after me to close was super pissed and I was like "why" and he said they needed him to clean up a really urgent spill so no one slips and dies next to the softner salt pallet and he left a whole row of carts sitting out in the far back of the parking lot to come in and clean it and the ETL must of finally bit the bullet and cleaned up the spill her self... and that same exact spill was the fucking little bit of water a little girl spilled out the straw of her sippy cup.
I told him that and he was super mad.
