There are two philosophies to radio communication. The first (and superior IMHO) way is to request something on the radio (like backup cashiers) and then leave silence on the air, so that someone can respond. The people on the sales floor should be listening and interpreting the silence as a lack of response.
The second (and most profoundly retarded) way of doing it is this: Ask for something on the radio, and insist that everyone respond. So if you CAN'T backup cashier, you need to get on the radio and say why. This means that whoever is responding positively gets talked over, because everyone else is doing this too. If no one gives an instantaneous positive response, just get on the radio and complain that no one is responsing yet. Repeat every five seconds. :sarcastic3:
I'm open to new ideas, though. How do you do it at your store?
