(1)EBT Checks on registers? I got my first one yesterday and failed miserably :-( lol.?
There's no such thing as EBT Checks, but if you're talking about WIC Checks then it's an easy yet tedious job. Before even scanning anything you have to hit K8 (could be k7 not really sure) for the more options and you have to see what the WIC Check is for. There's two options when punching in a WIC Check. It's either Formula/Food or Produce. You can easily tell when it's produce because it will give an amount on the check for example "$10 for fruits and vegetables" or "$6 for fruits and vegetables". After you've chosen what the WIC Check is for, it will ask you to punch in the numbers of said check. They're usually highlighted, if they're not they're the big numbers on the top right hand side of the check. Type in those numbers and hit enter. It will then ask you what's the beginning date for the check and what's the ending date for the check. After you punch in the 6 digits hit enter. Depending on the type of checks, it will ask you to check with the guest for an ID Folder. If they don't have it we usually can't accept it.
After entering everything you have to make sure that the items you are scanning are the items on the checks. Usually if an item is not WICable it will prompt you on the screen. At this point you can call a GSTL/GSA and let them know that a guest wants this item, but in WICable form or for any other problems.
Once you're done scanning everything THAT'S ON THE CHECK (I'm sure it wont let the items not on the check go through, but just as a precaution make sure you only scan the items on the check), write the total of that transaction, have the guest sign it, hit total and it will ask you to put it through your check machine and that's it.
(4)On register, if an item doesn't have a barcode to scan the item, how do you ring up the item on the register?
Most clothing at Target has an extra little tag in them with a number that you can punch in. It usually has "Target" followed by an 8 digit number. If it's not a clothing item, ask the guest if they know how much it cost, if they tell you usually we just punch it in as a no barcode product. That's just my practice at my store. If they don't know the item, that's what you can call a GSTL/GSA or if you have a walkie call someone from the sales floor and let them know you have an item without a barcode and if anyone could either a.) bring you the same item with the barcode or b.) give you the DPCI for the item.
