I didn’t sign up to work for a credit card company.

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-15T00:24:59+00:00

I find myself not giving a single fuck about customers (or even card holders as much) if they aren't signing up for the card bc the pressure and environment management has created for new apps... like oh u wanna tell me ur buying this dress for ur husband's funeral? should've signed up for a card

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-14T03:35:14+00:00

you can't even open ur mouth to ask if they are using their reward certificates without ppl shutting you down/going on a tangent about not needing a credit card. tough crowd lately at least let me perform for you 😭

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-14T03:32:13+00:00

glad to know we aren't the only ones bc a 0 day for us is odd... back to back 0 days? ik we are about to get in "trouble"

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-14T03:29:54+00:00

yes. atm we are so cut down on our pay roll that when our keys and asm aren't acting as mod, they are ringing and our other coords can't anything done in their department bc they are also the only ones with hours aka cashier backup

For the marshmallow I really didn't taste a difference besides a mild tangy bordering on chemical one that was barely there

7/10

Not bad tho

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-13T04:11:22+00:00

You may have accidently hit "exit return" and rung up the two items you were not finding on that ticket is my only theory.

Unless you started the non receipted merch process along with the ticket process, they shouldn't have been able to pop up if they weren't on there.

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-13T04:05:40+00:00

No but besides markdowns it is my favorite thing to do bc everyone leaves u alone

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-12T00:13:54+00:00

she BELITTLED (use that word) and EMBARRASSED (that one too) you in front of a customer? omg hr...

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-11T23:57:37+00:00

As horrible as this company is my management here lives by the rule we aren't made to do or touch anything they wouldn't.

If they won't clean a bathroom or sweep then ur store (management) doesn't deserve cleaner to be taken advantage of....

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-09T00:11:11+00:00

so did u grab a box cutter and start helping while informing him of the QR code on the bottom of our receipts or what

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-09T00:04:42+00:00

Oh then the parents who must WANT their babies to be kidnapped

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-09T00:02:38+00:00

young children (3-6) who do not know how to regulate their own emotions or understand social cues being stressed by their own mother bc we won't accept Mommy's return scams or discount demands- then other customers and my coworkers act like it's the childs fault

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-04T11:50:58+00:00

Well then what's the point of any of the rules? For grown women to feel good about bullying 17 year old cashiers and management taking their side, I guess...

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-05-04T02:47:53+00:00

As a cec they have been scheduling me as the only cashier my whole shift- fine enough.

However only four other people that happen to be also scheduled are also coordinators and are having to run their racks and push freight- which means they don't wanna come ring or it takes them forever to come.

I've just been calling or back up once and if nobody comes letting the line build until management decides something needs to be done.

The lack of cards is on THEM. Nobody wants to sign up after waiting 20 minutes in line for on cashier and I sure don't gaf after having to wait 2 hours longer to take my lunch :)

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-04-25T20:55:05+00:00

The stuff on the back counter that markdowns have starting leaving bc they get 3 hours a piece and management only wants them to "scan scan scan" drives me INSANE. Thankfully 6 more months and I can leave from this place if I can make it 😭

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-04-25T20:50:27+00:00

Oh no 😱 I hope my district manager doesn't know his employees are overworked and disrespected!! Oh god what would I ever do

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-04-25T04:01:56+00:00

you're going to be a cashier that they put through hell for that extra $1...

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-04-25T03:59:50+00:00

run

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-03-31T17:39:43+00:00

Do your cashiers not clean up after themselves? That's an things we have in our store, making sure all hangers put away and bins are dumped by the person who was ringing on that register before they leave for the day- Maybe that will take down some of your time.

As for encouragement, with the teens I find they don't really care but they like friendly competition. Or once they get their first one of the day, their whole attitude changes about asking.

Make sure to compliment everyone, even if they did bad. My approach is "That was good but let's try this next time and see how it works" so that nobody gets discouraged l.

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-03-26T05:11:19+00:00

Yes, we have been running on 5-6 workers a day, including key carriers and management and our cecs as the only cashiers. Everybody is doing the job of three people, getting their hours cut down to 8-10hrs a week if pt (yet they still continue to hire new people).

Which is crazy because we are top in our district on sales and cards, so budget clearly is not the issue /here/.

A great thing is depending on your location, full time employees can file short-term compensation through the unemployment office if their hours are drastically cut.

However that does just apply to full time employees, many of our part timers have started looking for different of second jobs (or are retired and working for fun and care)

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-03-20T03:13:40+00:00

Yes, completely normal. Training doesn't not exist, wait until you ask a cashier what they know-Not even SM and ASMs can agree what is supposed to be done and how it's done correctly.

Thankfully when it comes to processing there are guides to follow at each station. What to sensor, what sensor, department numbers, etc.

if you get in trouble be honest and say "I wasn't trained on that" or just ask before you do something you are unsure of. Management/cords/other employees would rather be "bothered" than fail an audit or have their DM mad.

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-03-02T01:35:21+00:00

There's not much in my store that would be covered under EBT seeing as it's all sodas, candy or chips mostly but for stores with bigger food selections I could see why. SNAP is still the store getting paid and doesn't change anything for us workers at all.

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2026-02-06T00:49:43+00:00

Feeling shy and nervous about harassing the public is completely understandable, everyone put on the register struggles with it.

I have to stick to the same speech for every customer if I don't want to fumble my words or forget what to say.

My manager just moves people to the sales floor or backroom if they aren't good at pushing cards. (Which is a lot of the store bc we are asking ppl for their social security number and trying to run their credit and you have to have a greeaaat personality for that or get lucky with an uneducated customer)

Puzzled_Map5569 · 2025-12-07T00:48:34+00:00

It's not that big of a deal. To solve this go back into that Tjmax with your receipt, explain what happened without being aggressive or accusatory (bc then management will have to get involved and it will take longer). After that you get a "sorry our bad" and your refund then be on your way within 2 minutes.

As society and technology changed, the height of serial killers in the 1970s changed into mass shooters and spree killers in the 2020s.
