Alright here we go. So I"m a Cart Attendant, have been for 5 months. In my time working as a CA I've taken on a lot of other tasks that aren't mine. I do stuff for the GSA's and run errands for whoever needs something. I really enjoy being able to help other people out when they need it. This is also why I hate being a cashier, stuck in one place for hours and you can't really help out other TMs around the store.
So everything seems fine. I love my job, and I love the people around me. However there is an issue. The other cart attendant who always closes after me has become a major problem. Without going into to many details this other TM is making everything very unpleasant. I've spoken with my HR and we came to the conclusion that I should just stay away from said TM. Works great, but there are still problems with that TM going to other TMs and Managers accusing me of stuff and just making a big stink about nothing. I don't want to sound like I'm full of myself but I don't think I suck at my job. I do the best I can and my ETLs do acknowledge my hard work (again not trying to glorify myself).
So I went to my STL and asked to be moved over to Sales Floor. My STL said, "Yeah you would be great over there". I was pleasantly surprised. However there are issues, I'm only 17 which means I can't take closing shifts. On top of that because of school I can't be at the store until 12:00 PM. So they don't have a place to schedule me. My STL suggested I go work in Starbucks or Pizza Hut. I've worked at the Pizza Hut before, and Its not something I want to do. I'm not good at handling food, and its basically the same thing as cashier: stand in one place and don't leave. Sales Floor is where I want to go. I understand the issues with my age and schedule are keeping me from moving there. However I was wondering what I could do to start working my way over there. Cross-train yeah, but I feel like I should be doing more.
Sorry for the long story and unnecessary detail. I felt like I had to explain a little bit before I asked what the best way for me to move over is.
