read the sticky for the main and minor duties i'll have as a guest attendent for a closing 4th of july shift. My first time ever doing a GA/CA shift and i'm very lost about what i'll have to do to not mess up my night.
basically I know that my shift is from 7-11pm on the fourth of july, so I really want to come up with an advance plan of action for the night (with flexibility of course) just so I know whats coming.
so far this consists of coming in and checking with the mid shift GA and asking him what needs to be done for the rest of the night and trying my best to follow his view on the situation. the biggest worry I have is that i'm a really small person (weigh around 140lbs) and when they were quickly showing me how to guide the carts at the front of the cart machine I could barely keep my hand on the remote while steering 3 measely carts. so pushing 25 or even 10 safely is out of the question for me. I guess that means i'll be running all day pushing 6 by hand. i'm prepared for that. besides that i'm fairly sure the cashiers duty include taking their strays up to GS and zoning so I don't have to worry about that.
so..... would this make a logical schedule so I could follow and not blow it?
7pm
meet up with guest attendent find out plan of action for night/miscellaneous work
immediately head outside and push carts by hand making sure theres always carts in the well
8pm
fill bags/check bathrooms/do basket run around the store and pick up any stray carts left around
will probably have to cashier and do carry outs by this point, getting carts any spare second I have
9pm
check bathrooms/take defectives?
keep pushing carts and concentrate on that solely unless they really get on me about cashering or cleaning up a spill inside the store
10pm
it'll be slow enough at the point where i'll decide whether or not i'll need to use the cart pusher to make sure I can finish off the night without leaving carts outside my store (which is unnacceptable I hear)
also i'll take the hangers to the backroom, fill up the handbaskets around the entire store, make sure the front lanes has paper bags and printer paper.
11pm
check in with the lod and ask if thats all my duties for the day.
I feel like i'm forgetting something or this is a really bad course of action. what would be usefule advice for me? I didnt get any training besides how to use the cart pusher and i'm kinda freaking out.
also, where do defectives go in the backroom? what time do I take those?
why does guest service need boxes? what size and do I get those from the baler?
thanks for any help !
