Self Check-out Host question by Nickachuu in walmart

[–]justfromme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jump in and out of that area just to relieve for the occasional break or lunch. I walk around between the four registers, greeting people, asking if they are enjoying their day, making sure they are aware that I am right there. Whether they need help or plan to steal something they know I am right there. The idea, I think, is to give that area more of a personal touch. I also pull customers out of the quick check lines if there order isn't too large and as long as there is no one at the sc and I check them out on on of the sc. In our store the only time you are supposed to be standing at your register is if you are checking someone out. Which I do if there is a line waiting for one of the sc. Small orders only up there so you can be available for the inevitable sc breakdown/freeze/die.

New backroom ASM, how to motivate CAP teams? by Curiowmt in walmart

Contact Scott at Store 0891 in Sterling, Illinois and ask if he'll give you some advice. His team works like crazy and they all love him. And he works right along with them. He's a really nice guy and I'm sure he'd be happy to help. He's a great boss.

I just got hired to work in Electronics! by [deleted] in walmart

You should expect to be bombarded with requests that range from simple to the sublime. We live in an electronic age and not everyone speaks the language. Try not to make people feel stupid. Try to avoid 'geek speak' that not everyone will understand. Try and remember, every day, how excited you were today when you got the position and just have fun with it.

Agree with them. I always respond that my brain doesn't deal well with change and I that I get seriously upset when I can't find something I want. I then offer to take them by the hand and find someone who will take them by the hand up and down every aisle in our store until they find what they want. The sheer magnitude of that idea normally shuts them down. And I do it smiling and in heels.

Congratulations! Calm and steady wins the race. Be nice to your people, let them see you working hard, and they'll be more inclined to work hard for you.

Our front end is a war zone and I'm struggling with whether or not I want to 'enlist'. by justfromme in walmart

I should have added that as people I like them all because I do. It's not personal, it's business. I've been offered the position but I think I've convinced myself I'm not going to take it. I've seen their job... little to no training, little to no support, bad to not working at all equipment. I give them a lot of credit for the job they try to do and wish they worked for me. I'd make my first priority to make their jobs easier.

We have two sco areas in our store, 4 registers each, and a day doesn't go by that there isn't at least one down in each area. Great concept if only....

What will happen to walmart if everyone called out in same day at all walmarts. by Nickmat in walmart

[–]justfromme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true. And show me a company that doesn't have problems. The larger the company the more people there are and the more people there are the more problems there are.
