So yesterday was just an awful day. I asked for cart attendant shifts which I spoke about on another thread and I just now begun my shifts.
I get there at 12 and it's busy due to Easter Weekend, so I go out and start grabbing carts. Throughout my entire shift, all I seem to get was a bigger target on my back. I found myself falling behind because I was covering a 15 minute break at Guest Service for an hour and the GSTL never came back to let me go. He finally asked me to wrap it up when there's no carts in the store so of course I fell behind and everytime I came back in, I felt like an LOD was glaring me down or my GSTL says "Having trouble keeping up?"
It irritated me and I almost exploded before my shift was over. I realize that it is busy and I am out here grabbing carts as fast as I can. But, you fail to acknowledge that the cart pusher was in the middle of where the carts go in the front of the store and you never bothered to move it for me considering I told them I don't know how to use the cart pusher.
Then I have team members going "Well you're gonna have to get over your fear of the cart pusher" and it just irked me even more. The cart pusher is a machine, a machine that I need to get certified on. No one wants to offer to come out with me and show me how to do it, they just want to continue to mock me and nag at me when I am doing my job. I wasn't slacking off, talking, I was sweating and working my butt off the entire shift.
I told my HR at the end that Carts isn't going to work out and she said okay and I'm glad she didn't ask why. My anger was boiling over and it's sad to see that someone who works hard can get a target on his back and literally feel like everyone is judging him with one shift.
I should have been given a training shift or at least shown how to use the pusher but no they just keep pointing out that I'm scared. Well considering I got stuck in the parking lot and almost took out a car on my first run, please elaborate how I should feel
Rant over. Sorry I just had to get this off my chest
