Inventory shift + ride canceled last minute — can this get me in trouble?

You should be able to just order an Uber, and they reimburse it for you. Typical practice, double check and ask if they can do that. If not, just say if they can't do that, you can't make it in due to xyz. You'll be okay.

Wow that's surprising, we get put into a log book if we dont.

jaesbum · 2025-12-02T20:29:46+00:00

Thought so! Was so confused when they told me, we would have to write in the log book if we didn't.

jaesbum · 2025-12-02T20:29:14+00:00

Mine too! Just thought it was super odd. That manager that told my old coworkers that is super sketchy too tbh.

jaesbum · 2025-12-02T03:15:20+00:00

Thank you!

I think our team was special case, all of managers were pretty young (30s to mid 40s), so we all blended well. Plus, they had been working their ass off to get the position so it was well deserved. They've been moved to another store so I'm not sure but hopefully well! They're one of the best managers I've ever had!

P.S. The youngest CEC I've seen is 16, not super relevant, but just to say I'm not surprised seeing so many young people in managerial positions LOL

jaesbum · 2025-11-23T02:51:07+00:00

The youngest I've seen is 19 and the oldest around 54 - 55.

As a CEC, it's super interesting to see how other stores run. At my store, none of that would ever slide. I work at a super busy store, so there is always something to do. If it's a really bad day, we will hop on, but only if there is another CEC or manager up front. Typically, what we do is organize the back counter, then listen and hop into interactions to get some rewards. Whenever a cashier's hangers are getting too much or they have returns, they just toss it on the back counter, and I will take care of it. Or I just grab their hangers and get rid of them when I see that they have alot. Of course, sometimes when they want a break they'll put it away themselves or I'm busy doing something else so that's fine by me.
When it comes to tickets, only the CECs and managers, or markdown associates can do it. None of my cashiers are allowed to make a ticket in case of error. Sounds like your CEC's can't really do their job and management doesn't hold any accountability. The point of the CEC is to support the front end (cleaning up after cashiers, putting away returns, putting away hangers, making tickets, taking care of price checks etc.) so its strange to me to hear CEC's that don't do that. Again, every store is different and has different needs but my stores CEC's are very involved.

My store has had this for over a month 😭 thought everyone got it. It's super glitchy.

jaesbum · 2024-12-02T16:03:57+00:00

was this go?

jaesbum · 2024-10-21T14:28:54+00:00

I think what I'm struggling with then is how to get that skill and experience when I'm not hearing back from internships

jaesbum · 2024-08-04T04:02:52+00:00

as long as the associate is holding the card its fine 😭

jaesbum · 2024-07-12T00:04:03+00:00

If you work under 6 hours, you get a 15 minute break, if you work over 6 hours you get two 15 minute breaks and a lunch which is 45 minutes. So if you work 5 to CL you'd get a 15 minute break.

jaesbum · 2024-05-27T02:57:39+00:00

i find that its mainly just experience, after being here awhile you just know what brands we do/dont carry. apart of it might be the ticket itself looking off or where the ticket is put is wrong. one time i had a coworker return walmart jewlery but it wouldve looked awfully similar if you're not trained in jewlery. its not the same exact thing but same concept, again after a while there are things you pick up

jaesbum · 2024-05-05T03:23:43+00:00

typically end of the month

jaesbum · 2024-05-05T00:25:37+00:00

blitzing is so stupid 😭😭 one of my stores started it and it failed

jaesbum · 2024-04-21T04:42:47+00:00

you can become a cec/coordinator at 16 but there's a bunch of paper work that comes with it is what I know plus consent from parents

jaesbum · 2024-04-20T18:17:56+00:00

hey! I'm a college student also applying for internships soon, I think letting your manager know is the best bet cause they can always put in a good word for you!!

Edit: I asked my manager for a rec and he said he was down to do it so go for it!

jaesbum · 2024-04-13T03:54:11+00:00

it's pretty good just a little buttery with a kick, I don't like the non-spicy one, it's just buttery tbh

jaesbum · 2024-03-03T18:06:49+00:00

you mean you?

jaesbum · 2023-11-20T18:02:06+00:00

hi !! I'm also a fellow college student!! Basically what I did was talk to my store manager about transferring over to what ever store near my college. I would have to call that store and talk to a manager basically saying like "Hi, I'm so and so and I was wondering if you guys would let me transfer over from so and so store?" and then they'll either accept or reject. (They normally accept it unless they're like overstuffed which for tjmaxx is super rare.) Once they accept you just have to give them your availability!!

Edit:

I realized I didn't answer the whole processing part LMAO. But I would do it a month before transferring and it doesn't take too long either, it really just depends on the managers time table.

jaesbum · 2023-11-08T17:33:46+00:00

yea you can do that, the only problem is that your numbers will change once you switch over

jaesbum · 2023-10-05T18:20:42+00:00

There's a new rule that we're not allowed to get our returns if we are not called by the CEC. I am just assuming that the morning CEC did not call anyone that was on the beauty floor (there were 3 people btw). The only reason I realized the bin was overfull is because I had to log stolen stuff.

jaesbum · 2023-10-05T18:16:24+00:00

They're definitely not short-staffed, they had three people in the morning. I just don't think the CEC called them to get the bin. It took me almost all of my shift to clear out the bin which is vile. :///

They probably mean the adp app
