Today at huddle we were informed that this past Saturday we pulled Black Friday level #s, crushed our goal. I can believe it, it was crazy out there and we were short handed because of call-outs, ended up there until 1 AM (closed at 12, supposed to be out the door by 12:30) because of the like...5 extra carts of go-backs that needed to be sorted after zoning. At one point I was covering fitting room/operator and electronics solo, so I had 2 phones and guests at both places...crazy.
Sunday and today were very heavily trafficked too, I've had cashier shifts both days, and yesterday in particular ended up actually cashiering the whole day (I'm a utility player so I end up all over, like today I did cashiering, food truck push with the market team, go-backs and cart attendant). After yesterday I was absolutely wiped out, I sat down in the break room to talk with another co-worker right after we clocked out and we both ended up sitting for like 45 minutes because we were too tired to leave. Except for scheduled breaks Sunday I had literally 0 opportunity to do anything whatsoever except check out a constant line of guests, it was draining. No opportunity to breathe.
