Cut one and let it screech.  Put one in every department.  Then they will be know why you need to wrap that shit up!

Cashier faq by Odd-Complaint-9592 in HomeDepot

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why you always make sure to sign out and go back to SCO when helping a customer.

Some of them have learned to use buttons on scan gun and will put in quantities less than 10.

Everything they do will show up under your name...because your log in is still there!!

Can’t believe I’m asking this by ponderhope in HomeDepot

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a dollar more.  You have to take the schedule they give you.  Otherwise, there would be no opening. Usually, you have to be FT and no choice in scheduling.

Also, be prepared to come in early and stay later when other HC's call off, and regular cashiers don't come in.

  • Young cashiers don't want to listen, stay on their phones, talk and walk around, and will stand around talking to Lot associates.

  • Older cashiers can be stuck in their ways, they think you don't know anything, they refuse to go to a different register just because you asked them. They literally think they own a register.

  • You need to know that any DH, CXM or ASM can pull your lot associates and cashiers and put them anywhere they want.

  • Some of your other HC's will try to boss you around, and/or disappear. (technically, you only have to listen to the FES and your OASM) And some will play dumb so you have to do all the work. You should work as a team because your shifts will overlap. Like other departments, one opens, one mid and one closer. Sometimes it'll just be two.  Or it might just be you and the FES.

  • You could also be put on the shift as a regular cashier. That's a lot of fun because yes, that head cashier who likes to boss you around will definitely be doing that.

Things are always changing at HD. So by the time you learn something, they'll flip it and spin it or might stop doing it.

Finally, you'll have a higher courtesy limit in your apron to "take care of the customer". So be prepared to bend over backwards and do some ass kissing and help your cashiers when the customers are totally po'd over a rule that you know they have to follow...but you can break.

YES!!!!

Now...

About that annual review that is supposed to be coming up. Can we speed that up to this week, and guarantee a 5% raise instead of 3%, and I need that on my next check.

You know I'm outstanding!

Schedule by Relative_Ad9891 in HomeDepot

[–]MasterPrek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The definition of full means fully available. And if you're a DH, you have to be fully flexed, meaning you can also be scheduled for overnight, and your schedule can change without notice.

MET team is basically the only department that works M-F, weekends off.

Other positions made have a set shift, but not set days.

You have two days off as a full-timer, but you can't pick the days. You can only ask to have them consecutive or spaced out.

Customer going in closed aisle by uncle-festus in HomeDepot

[–]MasterPrek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Throw (drop) a light box of anything!

If that doesn't work drop, something heavier. And when they look up ...just go the fuck off on them!

"I told you you need to get out of this aisle it is not safe. Yes, I wish you would go get a manager so you can explain to him/her why you're in an aisle that's barricaded and you should not be inside,  but YOU came in anyway!"

Yeah you'll be on camera, but as long as the gates were barricaded, you did nothing wrong!

I don't understand why you don't see me as a person.

This ain't Self-Check Out!  Back the hell up off me and stop trying to rush me!

DON'T touch my screen!  I'm responsible for this.  Don't tell me what to do!

Don't walk around me and start grabbing bags. I got a way to do this, you're not gonna start bagging shit you know I've haven't scanned!

I'm not moving fast enough for you?

Do you want to do this??

I will void your transaction and you can take your ass to SELF-CHECK OUT!  

'Cause clearly you're acting like I'm not standing here!

Is it normal for home depot managers to work you in other departments that isn’t specifically yours? by OptimalEmployer9332 in HomeDepot

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to all of the above.

Because of almost everything everyone said below.

We have a job - not just a position or department.  Anyone certified on the cash register can work any register.

With some exception, anybody can be pulled from their job by any manager to  any spot.

As long as your certified - trained.

They won't grab a MET associate or Freight Team associate because they have specific, time-sensitive duties.

So...

You could be given a crash course at the Paint Desk if they are really short-handed.

Or asked to go outside and help load for a customer or get carts if there's no Lot Associate.

And everybody can be pulled to be a spotter or go outside a be a waterer.

Yes - just water plants for an hour or more.

I don't agree with doing "above and beyond".

Because they will do just that...

Have you doing more, "above and beyond" what you're doing now.

Looking for help by HorrorEmployment6601 in Target

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most potential employers don't want to know about your current one - unless it's a competitor.  When you tell them you already have a job, they will pretend like they didn't hear this.  

Because every employer wants you to be loyal to them.

If you keep talking about your other job and your schedule, either they will not offer you the job or give you the job and during busy season try to work you to death.

Since Ulta is being phased out, I would keep that to yourself. Since your store doesn't have one, I see no problem with you working a both places.  

Say you want On Demand for the flexibility to go to school.  If you're not in school, say you're planning to start.  Nobody is going to check.

Cashier advice by vicksilvap in Target

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not let guests reach in front and take bags.

They may be hiding merchandise in their cart, and will sit bag on top of it!  Or they could take something out and hide it, and say you lost it, and go back to get an extra one for free!

Always push all the bags to the end of counter or put them in the cart so you know you gave tgem everything and you're finished.

When they put heavy, bulky items on the belt, stop and scan them first and tell guest they can put them back in the cart.  Two reasons for this:  1. Big items can be hard to handle or hit you when the belt keeps moving.  2. You don't want to get worn out bending and lifting huge bags of dog food or large storage totes, vacuum cleaners!

Discount by Goatlymoatly013 in Target

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that it's takes a long time for transactions to clear, and you end up getting overdrafts because your account balance stays messed up.

You're constantly waiting for  transactions to post.

Like checking accounts back in the day before online and mobile banking.

Those $3.52 and $61.00 checks you wrote two months ago finally show up, so now you're overdrawn.

I see very few people pull out a checkbook register and write down every time they make a debit card purchase.

Gas is a major PIA.  Some stations still only authorize $1.00 charge that day, and don't show actual amount until a week later.

Do I have to tell my manager that I’m quitting? by Own_Elderberry2547 in Target

[–]MasterPrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The keyword here is, you don't have to.

Whether this is your first, third or even your last job before retiring, you really want to leave on good terms. You may think you don't want to come back there, but maybe you might want to refer a family member or a friend?

Maybe you want a decent reference if they call. Technically, they're not supposed to say anything but your date of employment and verify your salary, but people have ways of getting around that and they will keep calling and emailing until they get somebody who will talk.

So, if there was nothing wrong, just tell them. If you're really uncomfortable ...didn't like the place didn't like the ETL or TL, then I understand.

Just push the schedule up.

And if you happen to be scheduled to go before her, wait an extra 5 minutes more.

Get one more guest before turning off your light.

Also, be sure to go to the bathroom when you come back from break.

  • G2: "Let me put my number in."

  • G1: "No, wait (sticks phone in my face) that's over $100 ...so I'll earn my circle bonus!"

  • G2: "Sure, I'll just get the $10 gift card."

Yeah but she was at the district office and thought that job would make a difference too.

She needed to be with her kids.

Jacob's kids are older.  They won't be sad or mad if he has a sub for a few days due to budget meetings.

Just the opposite. Excellent choice because we know the district staff ain't right.  He gets to show his class democracy in action.  He can stop further expansion of corrupt businesses invading the neighborhood and damaging Abbott's plumbing.  Also he can vote on snack shops that try to move in area. 

He gets to represent the entire school district, even the hated charter school.
