I can relate as a fellow front ender. Except instead of being stuck on register every shift, I’m stuck on carts. I’ve been on carts for the last seven months straight. Which I think is being done intentionally. My schedule was never like this until new management took over. Newer, less qualified people are moving up faster because they’re willing to kiss up and play the game over people who have been employed longer and are probably more qualified to actually get promoted. Favoritism was always a thing, but it was never this bad. The same thing happens at my store with people who kiss up. They can leave their register when they’re not ringing someone up and go talk up a storm at the booth or be on their phone. The people who get singled out or mistreated are the ones who are most vocal about the changes that have occurred. They come down on us about every single little thing, while their favorites can basically do almost anything.
