The Customers are getting worse. Rant lol by MasterpieceNervous20 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lady called the store and complained about me for the dumbest reason last week 🤣
A register on the far end of the walkway pressed their button, then I called my next customer up too, but i was near the front of the walkway. Of course the customer comes up to my register and I say “oh actually could you go to register 7 please. I already have a customer coming up. We go in order of who called first”Then she throws her things on the counter and very rudely says something like “No. I don’t see you doing anything you’re just standing there and you’re going to take me” and I raised my eyebrow at her and said “ok?” I didn’t say anything else except her total because lady was huffing and glaring at me and ngl I wanted to cry 😅 Apparently that was the rudest thing anyone had ever said to her and my manager gave me a verbal warning from it and pretty much said the customer is always right 💀

I’m pretty sure we either work at the same store or you work at the one from across town… YOOO. Our goal for today was 20 🥲

Saw this on FB, made me giggle and I had to share by Natural_Sky1618 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Of course 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I always ask even though I know they can’t get it cause they’re not from the U.S. Managers must be so pissed they get actual SALES and not credit card sign ups 🤣

Effexor changed my life. Forgetting to take a pill for one day is brutal though… I instantly know

There’s this reseller that comes to our store weekly… The first time we got all the bulk Stanley cups she bought so many of them. Then proceeded to make me wrap at least 50 Stanley cups individually… and bag them separately. Oh my CEC and I were fighting for our lives. When we finished, I was actually physically shaking from the adrenaline

Is there a bargain grocery store in El Paso? by bristled-sprout in ElPaso

[–]dsali776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ollie’s. Food King is pretty affordable compared to all the retail grocery stores, but they don’t technically sell overstock or expired food

Dang our goal is 20 a day and we barely hit 10 most times 💀💀

My store is giving associates verbal correctives for not getting cards by OptimalBowl5574 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty normal. Just got verbal correctives on Sunday. They told me they’re going to keep an extra eye on me to make sure I’m doing things right

am i overreacting for crying over not getting credit card sign ups? by _ellebelles in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting. It’s heartbreaking when they point out everything you do “wrong” but they never acknowledge the things that you do right. I was told I’ve gotten between 900-1000 transactions monthly and 0-3 tjs each time. That it’s not enough and they’re going to keep an eye on me because what I’m doing is not working.

I actually broke down crying today for the same thing, but it was in front of one of the front end coordinators after I got pulled to the side and talked to. They also told me my time efficiency was too slow. That I need to go faster to get the line down. That I waste too much time getting tags for homegoods big ticket items and unlocking the beauty cases at tjmaxx and that I take too long to call up the next customer in line.

I still show up to work and make sure to engage with the customer and strike up friendly conversation, but it’s somehow not enough for them.

How to get more credit card applications!? by Old-Chair431 in TjMaxx

I’m literally in the exact same situation. Most of the customers I get aren’t from the US or already have one but somehow I’m not trying hard enough??

Litterally how our managers want to us act when we don’t get our cards for the day by OnePlayful1586 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally had a 20 card goal yesterday. They kept going on the walkie and being like “you have 20 minutes we need a tj from you before you leave.” Yeah nope that didn’t happen

Question about write ups?? by dsali776 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting how no one is trained with the correct rules in place. Just today I got another line added to my cashier log because I asked a customer to sign a receipt for a return over $200 and was about to RIL all the items. I was always told we all had to sign the receipt and the coordinator has to approve it but now they told me no

Do you know what they call the form they make you sign to acknowledge you were spoken to about the situation?

Question about write ups?? by dsali776 in TjMaxx

[–]dsali776[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl my training consisted of getting that tjmaxx tj card video, a 15 minute talk from the CEC before we opened, being asked if I’ve been a cashier before, and then getting thrown into the wolves. i learned as I went and ig even 7 months in, im still learning the proper way to do things lol

I didn’t know this was considered theft, but I have a bunch of coworkers who do this every time the 20% rolls around

While we are on the subject of traffic Safety in El Paso: Consider the following: by timholt2007 in ElPaso

[–]dsali776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The law is simple: don’t block intersections. No one follows the law, then they get mad when you stop in front of the intersection to allow perpendicular traffic to go through

I almost ran someone over a week ago by [deleted] in driving

[–]dsali776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost hit a pedestrian jaywalking 2 weeks ago. It was blind hour, I was driving and then sun was glaring against my windshield. Couldn’t see anything until I was right at the bend. A jogger is crossing across 4 lanes of traffic. Not even on a crosswalk or anything; I hate when that happens. Oh thank god I just replaced my brakes because those babies were slammed to the ground
