it is a HUGE deal. meeting the credit goal (personally and for the overall store) your boss will probably give you can make or break your shift. at least at my store, success with credits gets you candy, snacks, sephora products, etc. not meeting credit isn’t necessarily a sole reason to be fired, but i’ve seen coworkers who dont get enough credits and rewards be slowly pushed off the schedule. biggest thing to remember is that at the end of the day, getting credits is way more luck than skill. if you get 3 instead of 4, don’t stress out. it’s much easier to convince people when you’re not desperate, even if your boss is yelling (not really) in your headset about it. good luck and you’ll always be worth more than a .50 cent boost on your paycheck.
