They see me Spotting, they hatin'.I'm highly suspicious of cashierking. If you guys want to reply to their threads knock yourself out. #trollingberolling
My goddamn face conveyed that exact same sentiment as I'm getting GSTL'd about how some "undercover" person came through my SCO and noticed I failed to engage them.SCO is supposed to engage guests too?! That defeats the entire point of SCO!
It may be just a robotic habit.I use self checkouts at stores other than Target to avoid having to talk to people because I'm super introverted. I hate making small talk with strangers and I don't want to be bothered about store credit cards, rewards programs, etc.
There are cashier TMs that seem to love to point out how I don't have a redcard and start insisting I get one. First, I work here, don't fucking give me the card speech. Second, if I wanted a redcard, I'd have one by now so again, don't fucking give me the card speech. I started using the self checkouts at work because of those people.
I don't want to be "engaged" to a checkout. That's a way for them to scam you when you scan your own stuff to double scan and you don't pay attention to how much you pay and it's a win for Target. And why would you force people to get a Red Card? People are aware of it. If they are interested, they will inquire and apply on their own time. Walgreens doesn't push their Rewards card which in my opinion is more beneficial to the customer than another credit or debit card.At my store, the self-checkout attendant is expected to "engage" every guest, i.e. push the store card, make conversation, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most people go to self checkout for the sole purpose of not being bothered with forced conversation?
Secondly, if you are checking out at a register, do you want to be "thoroughly engaged," i.e. do you want the cashier to ask you numerous open-ended questions that have been prepared and scripted by the supervisors, i.e. "What are your summer plans?" or "I see you're buying back-to-school items, are your kids looking forward to school? What grade are they going into?" And things like that. Or is a gentile smile, nod, and a simple "Hi, how are you" sufficient?" What is your ideal "engagement" preference when shopping? Thanks!!!
I use self checkouts so these cashier coworkers stay out of my personal life ie to know what I eat or drink, personal care goods etc because it will be a topic in the team breakroom especially when I find something super cheap on clearance and they would start blabbering. Same with the fucking red card. Cash is king. And many times they wouldn't even wait for me to give them the TM discount to scan. Or take away my time from my break by opening a convo going on and on. Especially that one old lady who would just go talking on and on, like shut up already. Especially when she starts talking about random stuff.I use self checkouts at stores other than Target to avoid having to talk to people because I'm super introverted.

That's what MR. CORPORATE needs to see/hearWell. I just asked a guest if I could help him find anything. His response?
“Did I ask you...”
The nerve of some people. Clearly he doesn’t like being engaged.

But seriously, @citrusapple , why not have a redcard? I don't understand. You work here, shop here. You don't want to save 5%?
When I want to do an online order, I buy a prepaid card. True, I pay a fee but I'm not going to spend spend spend. And I'm not going to get hacked. Also if it's a website like Amazon or eBay, I would buy a giftcard and pay with that especially that I know I'm not going to return it to lose $$. I can't trust myself with credit cards either. I budget myself and set aside into the saving account to have something for a rainy day or retirement. I have been buying a lot on Amazon only because the prices were too hard to pass up. But I still saved.Asking out of habit I understand. It's the fact that they bug me about it after I say I don't have or want one.
Nah, I'm good.
I don't use credit cards because I can't trust myself with them. The only reason I even have a debit card is so I can make online orders. I cash my paychecks and I only put money into the checking account when I'm going to make an online order. People think I'm nuts for not doing everything the "convenient" way but this works for me and I have no debt.
