Next week I have been scheduled for multiple days doing Cart Attendant. I've done it for a few times, one time I did it for a full shift instead of Cashiering. I have the plastic carts at my store, and we're a Super Target. We have a cart pusher machine and I've gotten used to it's functions.
However, I have much difficulty controlling 25-30 carts at once, 3/4 of my parking lot is built a few feet higher and then slopes down into level ground and then my store. I haven't hit a car yet (woo hoo) and I hope I never do. I have trouble steering these carts especially... when I get a line of about 10-15 carts steering into the next aisle of the lot to get to the other cart holders often the carts do NOT wanna turn. Usually they'll turn about 45 degrees and then get stuck in that position and go straight in that position. It's super annoying. I think I've got a bit of a technique now to avoid that and just do one aisle at a time and then return the carts to the store and go do the other aisle and rinse and repeat.
What are your tips on making cart attending easier? And what are some tips in general that you might have? Thanks.
