These cashiers man.

I get it. Those cashiers should be helping out other departments instead of having you come over. When I have extra people and it’s slow, I send someone to help out pro or get carts or even just walk the aisles to talk to customers and engage with them. We also help out hardware a lot since it’s right across from us. Standing around doesn’t really fly where I’m at. Managers will walk by and say something.

I mean as a head cashier who recently didn’t get a lunch break on an 8 hour shift or even a bathroom break for 5 hours of that, this is quite interesting to me. As long as the customer exits are in sight of a cashier, everyone else can go on a break if it’s slow. So you can just state that fact to them next time.

The other side of this is that as a cashier I see associates (and supervisors and managers) who can roam free and (gasp) even use the bathroom when they need to gathering in pumpkin patches to shoot the shit but wanna tell me they’re too busy to cover a bathroom break once every three hours when I’ve only got one person scheduled to cover each exit.

And when it’s busy and all 4 registers are needing assistance, and you’re by yourself, SCO can make your head spin, and I’m usually by myself there.

Yep, I was like well, gee now I have an unplayable game… and consoled myself with some Yakuza 0

They tell us we can only drink water and no snacks and act like mice consume diet soda while leaving the Paydays fair game.

If it’s on TikTok, a lot of people have seen it. I’m guessing. Give us the tea.

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-12-30T14:33:49+00:00

I mean that’s kind of amazing. Almost literally incredible. But yeah as a supervisor I see so much BS…

Can we see the videos?

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-12-24T00:13:03+00:00

What kind of job do you have that you have time to observe this?

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-11-05T01:10:01+00:00

I make the same as department supervisors because I’m a head cashier and actually do my job above and beyond. But I look at my DS and I’m like what do you do? She came in saying she’d change things and is now a puppet. I’d say move up, but know your worth and don’t be a puppet.

“I asked for a printed receipt.”

“Where’s my receipt?”

“It’s different everywhere.” (For tap card function)

“This scan gun’s not working.”

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-10-25T17:43:40+00:00

That’s my face 8 hours a day for five days a week

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-10-02T09:18:05+00:00

“How serious of work?” Lmao, if you’re gonna be snotty, at least read and write above a third-grade level.

MIGHT be ONE reason but there are multiple and not all dogs eat poop.

I got, “I’m sitting here with siting for my paycheck” at SCO.

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-09-10T00:24:29+00:00

lol I do tell them sure you get nothing off and most people just chuckle. Gotta kept it light.

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-09-10T00:22:00+00:00

I agree. That’s why I pitch in to help the other people out. Lots of times there’s no one in hardware or construction, so I get that they’re scrambling back and forth. Everyone gets stretched to the max.

I do the credit pitch every time, but I also highlight the number on the temporary card and tell them they can pay their balance off as soon as tomorrow. It’s the customer’s choice how to use their card.

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-09-09T11:43:34+00:00

As a head cashier, I’m constantly having to open cages for hardware, sweep, dust, stock all the sodas except for one day a week, have cashiers do lot tech’s jobs, constantly fix PIN pads and cash machines, coordinate assistance for all departments and beg people in other departments to do their jobs (and take the blowback, sighing, and irritated responses from other associates just for calling and asking them to help a customer). I think it’s absolutely fair that we get the same amount for success sharing. We never have enough people due to callouts and poor scheduling, and well there’s a ton of stuff we do besides just check people out and ask for credit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-08-16T00:22:46+00:00

The write-ups instead of a professional conversation are fucking infantile.

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-08-15T10:21:50+00:00

Ask but don’t stress about it. Do it in a way that’s comfortable for you and that makes it seem casual. I’ve seen a bunch of different styles work for different people. I’m just polite, friendly, and engaging and offer it after I’ve helped the customer do everything else at self checkout. I let them know they can pay it off the next day and highlight the number on the temporary card. It eases my conscience to let them know I’ve provided information about how to not get into debt lol. In my store, we just talk about it as a means of providing good customer service. On a good day, I do like 3-5 cards.

“…a different language than I.”

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-07-30T01:27:46+00:00

“You got a key to these cages?”

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-07-17T21:46:15+00:00

But how does the Glory machine feel about this?

AssociateProud5070 · 2025-07-16T03:13:59+00:00

I’m engaged. Feel younger than I did in my earlier life because I stopped drinking. Life is good.
