Cashiering.....HATE!
So, when I was hired, I asked for over nights, but it was shortly before thanksgiving, so they said I was going on days, but to put in the career preferance that I wanted overnights. A few months ago, the overnight CSM, my assistant, and a few of the daytime CSMs told me there was an overnight cashier spot opening. After a couple weeks of being told this, and not hearing anything, I went to the personel office, and they said that no one put in the request for one.

Then I hear, from here and people at my school, that once you're on as a cashier, you're always a cashier. I think I got proof of this yesterday when there was a sign posted saying to talk to the store mamanger about opening in overnights and she tried to talk me out of it. She said it was hard, tetious, montonus work on overnights and cashiers wouldnt' like it. Yeah...cuase cashiering isn't the same thing over and over agian. So I walked right into the personel office and picked almsot every overnight job I qualified for.

I think it's jsut silly that being a cashier means I can't go to a differant department. One assistant manager (our old one) said that if a cashier wants to transfer to another department we have to pester the department manager and assistant non-stop, or else we won't be picked.

Oh, and the computers are stupid when it comes to the scedules. I've been sceduled for 7 days in a row three times now. The first time I didn't catch it and worked it, the second time I did and they jsut combined two four hour days and gave me one nine hour so I didn't "loose hours". (I did anyways because of thier stupidity). Well, this time, my assistant told me to have the CSMs change it. I was working tuesday-monday, with tuesday, wendsday, and thursday being short 4-5 hour shifts, and the other four being 8-9 hours. The csm thought I was lying because thier scedule said I wasn't working on monday (more on that below), so she took me off the scedule for friday, cutting me back 8 hours on an already short pay week. When I asked my assistant if I could jsut switch the monday I;m working and the tuesday I have off he said no becuase they needed everyone up front on mothers day. Last I knew mother's day was on sunday...but we're all sure he's a complete idiot.

Oh yeah, and they've been doing this wonderful little thing that's pissing a few people in electronics off. Part time cashiers that the head CSM/assistant manager want to give more hours to, they're sceduling as a cashier in electronics. When we come in that day, we're suposed to report up front and work as if we were sceduled for the front end. This means on those days we're not on the offical scedule up front, and they can't change our scedules for those days. Electronics is pissed becuase they need the help, and they can't scedule extra people becuae the front end is taking the hours.
