Archived Where to go after you clock in?

[Fraiser1997]

I'm a fairly new cashier and so far I have just been waiting either in the tlc or the cash register right outside of it until someone tells me which register I should hop on, is this what you are supposed to do?

Come to the lanes and ask your GSTL/GSA which lane they want you on.

Go to your GSTL. After my 60 days I kind of learned to just grab my break slip from guest service and jump on a lane. You figure out which lanes they're gonna ask you to be on (most likely the lanes closest to grocery which no one is on) but lately my store has been trying get cashiers on both softlines side and grocery. But for now I'd just find the GSTL or GSA on site and they will tell you what to do!

After a year and a half of cashiering, it's such a breeze. Have fun! Meet some new people!

After clocking in we are supposed to find whoever is running the lanes that day (usually whoever has a piece of paper in their hand and/or is at the front watching) and tell them you've clocked in for the day. They will then tell you where to go

Report to the GSTL/GSA or have the Service Desk communicate to those individuals. They will provide your lane assignment.

Once you are well experienced and trained, you can usually find the cashier breakout sheet and jump on yourself.

Our store has stacked registers and newbies almost always get the back registers bc they are less busy. The GSA/TL will tell you where to go.

 

[HRZone]

Everyone's advice is spot on. In order to make a good impression you definitely want to ask. Sitting around waiting for someone to tell you what to do is not a good impression.

We have cashier's who like to just jump on whatever lane they feel like or the one closest to the card wall so they aren't surrounded by others. Again a GSA may have someone they need to give a break to so asking where you are needed is always the way to go.

Simply ask. In my store I rarely write in assigned lanes due to us being very high volume. Registers crash so I adapt on the fly. When I used to write in lanes cashiers would read where they supposed to be and discover a register that went down.

My cashiers come out ask where do I need them and I let them know. HRZone is 100% correct. For whatever reason breaks may get backed up and you coming in may be a perfect opportunity to get back on track by having you cover someone's break.

Just waiting around is a bad look.
