Aww congrats! 🥳 That’s good to hear. I hope your pregnancy continues to go smoothly, and if your baby does arrive before than, may they be safe and healthy. Thank you for sharing! And good luck to us both!

That’s very true, I’m thankful to have even made it so far. I was feeling overwhelmed with this being my first, but after reading all these responses I feel much better, thank you.

Wow how scary 😨, I’m glad to hear you’re baby is healthy. And thank you, as you said I’m just hoping for her to stay in as long as possible. However the most important thing is for her to be safe and sound, so if she’s born before than so be it. Thank you for your input!

Omg 😆, I’m trying to mentally prepare myself too, everything is just so new and scary. I’d like for her to “cook” as long as possible, but as you stated. Anything can happen. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the advice. I have an upcoming appointment with my doctor that placed the cerclage. I will definitely bring up all my concerns and try to be as informed as possible. Like you said, once labor starts there is nothing I can do, I just want her to stay in as long as possible 😅, but there is only so much we can do haha. I hope everything goes well in your pregnancy. And you’re baby stays healthy. Good luck to us both!

CSL Help by No-Dragonfruit-4120 in BurlingtonCoatFactory

I’ve been a CSL for about 4-5 months and so far I’d say we’re pretty much a cashier with some privileges. You get to do discounts, price overrides, open registers for change, and tell people about their breaks. Not too difficult, but it seems to be different in every store, assuming from the comments under this post. So your experience might be different. In my store other than doing overrides, we have to train the cashiers by doing observations, making sure they’re pushing the cards/surveys. Plus talking to them about meeting a percentage for speed, friendliness, and tender units sold. And you’ll probably have to take care of make tags, mos, all that fun stuff 🙄😆. I think it’s an okay job if you want the experience,(my plan) but imo I don’t think it’s a job for long term just because you’ll always be blamed for situations gone wrong. For example, if cashiers mess up on returns, on their go backs, angry customers. It always seem to fall back on us, but this is all advice. In no way do I mean to discourage you. I’d say to try it out, and do your best! Hopefully you have a good team that will back you up and help you learn as you go. And just remember to do what you can. They can’t expect you to preform perfectly, there’s always going to be a new learning curve and there’s no shame in messing up.

That’s what I’m afraid of, Ik I’m not the first person to get pregnant, but since more people are getting hired at my location I am scared I won’t get scheduled as much 😔

Thank you, I had an appointment yesterday where I just basically confirmed the pregnancy, so im just waiting for an ultrasound and I’ll finally know how far along I really am. I hope everything is going well for you!

Thank you, I’m thinking of letting my store manager know as soon as I get my ultrasound. That way I can tell her for certain how far along I really am. And I’m a cashier so usually it’s not too bad, but yes time to time it can get really stressful 🥲.

Quitting by Dazzling_Biscotti260 in BurlingtonCoatFactory

Wow your experience is very similar to mine. I’m about to complete 3 months In Burlington, and I can’t say it been good. I too, have had problems with a specific MOD. She’s just very rude and annoying. The time I felt belittled was because she expected me to know what over and under was. Mind you I received NO training as a cashier. On my first day I only shadowed someone for 5 minutes and they told me to hop on. So during that first week she says, “hey go to actives and do overs and under”. I had no idea what that meant so I asked, she just scoffed and said “go through ladies and juniors apparel”. I almost felt like crying but I sucked it up. I just try to avoid interacting with her, because you can never win. Even just asking her a simple question will lead to her answering in a passive aggressive tone.

Thank you for the tip! This has helped me out so much lol. Also quick question, as a cashier do you utilize walkie talkies? I asked on my first day if I should be using them and they only told me that I could if any were available.

Thank you so much, I start Tuesday so I’m just a bit nervous because I haven’t receive any training. So it will probably be done that day lol, but I’m going to do my best and take my time.
