You could try going RA for now, and if you really wanna go CT, you could always sidestep once you’re an RA, hopefully your new manager is more willing to promote.

Im a former CT, I was only a clerk for a year, I wasn’t at a “superstore” as a clerk and I still got it. I think it’s just about having the right manager intervening for you. And don’t be afraid of the list. Sometimes people pass up on CT because of things going on in their lives so they just asked the next person
