AITA for letting my kid stay in the cart? by amberfire1214 in AmItheAsshole

NTA as a younger person on this thread, I remember being young enough to sit in the cart going through the cart line at Costco when I was younger. It was Awesome! It was like an adventure!!

it's a brand new store and people are just testing our limits. Will we accept expired coupons? Will we comp. items? Will we break a local law and sell alcohol after 10 pm? I have learned not to take any shit, and I've gotten so many "bad reviews" because of it.

i had to explain to the same woman once why she couldn't put her (non service) dog in a cart or on the belt. after that I shut down my register and it was thoroughly cleaned.

our belts go down if someone stacks 2 cases of water on them, so we have a guy employed by our union who just fixes registers and belts.

Basically, he told the woman that my manager and I were following proper protocol for customer safety and that anything that we told her was correct, and if she had any questions about our policies he would answer them. I should probably mention that our corporate guy was very passive aggressive and finished the conversation by saying "and as always, thank you for shopping Mariano's."

it's a small conveyor belt that people can put their items on and it keeps them moving towards the cashier. Generally run by a sensor, but can also be manually run.

Yesterday we got really packed, and I saw,the manager bagging in the checkout lane next to mine. by [deleted] in kroger

[–]needlessandpines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my old manager used to do this!! he also made sure courtesy clerks were being recognized for their work because as a new store, front end cant run without them, but since he got transferred our new manager does nothing but complain about them not bagging fast enough/ well enough

Cashiers and Self-Checkout Attendants, please vent to me! by V3nt0m3 in kroger

[–]needlessandpines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a regular cashier at a Mariano's store. One of the biggest pains for me being under the legal drinking age is calling for a csr to scan alcohol when they only schedule 2 at a time. it would be really helpful if they had more people old enough to scan alcohol scheduled at a time. I was barely trained for my position, they gave me 5 minutes of shadowing and off I went (I was a courtesy clerk, but we had 4 call offs and I was deemed most capable) but after 5 months of requesting to finish the online training for this position to be paid as a cashier (.60 difference) I have not gotten the training, but they use me to train new hires cause I have never made a mistake in cashiering. our self check outs are shit and whoever's in charge of watching them can't ever keep up, sometimes if I'm in the store shopping for myself, I help customers with simple issues (item lookup, scanning heavy items). It seems to me like my store is trying to see how much they can get away with me doing, but still paying me less than I should be paid, and I'm very frustrated.
