I had my first day of training for hardlines on Tuesday, and I was pretty stressed \: It was only a five hour shift, and the first 40 or so minutes I was kind of just shadowing because my trainer had to cover a lunch break for someone in electronics. The rest of my shift was busy and I mainly learned how pushes work and did that the whole time. Most of the shift my trainer was whisked away by guests or phone calls and things like that, and there wasn't anyone around to ask questions if needed \: Also, my trainer left work before me and when it was time for my shift to be over, I had no idea what to do or how to end it!
While we were doing push, we kind of just went all over the store, depending on the cart of products. We stocked bathroom supplies, chemicals, pet supplies, and food. Is this normal? I've been on the Breakroom a lot for tips, and it sounds like at a lot of stores people are assigned to a certain department, like toys or seasonal or something. Is that something that differs store to store?
I have a shift from 7pm-12am tonight, and since closing is at 11pm, from what I understand I'll be zoning most of the time? Does anyone have any idea of how a shift at those times will go? I'm really nervous because HR will have gone home, so I guess when I get in the store I'll pick up a walkie and announce that I'm there for training?
I'm nervous because tomorrow is my first actual day on the sales floor, without training, for an 8 hour shift. So far I don't feel ready at all \: I've read all the guides on this site, so if anyone has anything else to add, any extra tips, it'd really be appreciated!
