Running The Front End
Day after day, I work at Home Depot. I’ve worked at Home Depot for 6 months. My position there is a cashier. A few months have gone by and all I do is show up and do my job as a cashier. The cashiers have someone who runs the front end along with every register in the store, and that person is a head ashier. After what I see the head cashiers go through, I would never want to be a head cashier for the rest of my life.
After four and a half months of working, I am just getting the hang of it. Being a cashier might sound easy, but over at Home Depot, it’s not. There are so many responsibilities for a cashier to do; it is just as hard as being a bank teller. You have to be quick at looking up items, being familiar with items in the store, checking every item for the right tag, and the list goes on. The cashiers are tested weekly with a secret shopper to make sure the cashiers are on their toes. The money has to be added up at the end of the day, each slip, coin, dollar bill, check and card. If it doesn’t add up, you don’t leave until you find out where it went. The cashier draw cannot hold more then 500$ at one time. Each time you collect up to five hundred you have to send it to the book keeping. All these responsibilities add up and are overwhelming for a cashier. A head cashier is responsible for every register and transaction in that store, along with the flow of lines and customer satisfaction. It is a job I would never want.
Coming into work one day, I knew something was wrong. When I saw long lines forming down each Isle, people complaining that the wait was too long, and register lights flashing for help. There were no head cashiers available or supervisors who knew anything about the front end. At that time I was the only cashier who had been there the longest, so I was asked to try and be head cashier for the day. I did, and I knew what I was getting myself into.
I was handed a set of keys and I was in charge of the entire front end. This was a job I had never done or been trained to do, It started out fine no one had any problems Three hours passed, and I ran into my first problem.
Once I had finished some computer work, which was the last part of my training, I reported to the night time shift manager to confirm with them that I was indeed done with training. They gave me a pat on the back and told me to get to work right away. Instead of going home at ten at night as I had planned, I didn’t return home until about five in the morning. I g...
Most of the time the cashier working at the place will treat the customer like complete garbage and not showing any concern for them. They often go through their routine of “Have a good day” when most of them could care less about how the rest of the customers day really goes. Squidward is always treating the customer awful. Squidward has lied to the customers and has said some nasty words to the customers. He has denied customers items such as salt and ice cubes. Squidward has also fallen asleep on the job many times which is disrespectful to the customer. All of these things Squidward has done, is something that the average fast food cashier is accustom to. This type of working habits represents fast food cashiers
I've been working for Lowe's Companies for almost 3 years in May. I started at the retail store where I was apart of the Red Vest Mentor program. I was responsible for training and mentoring the front end associates in customer service. During my time there I also took on the responsibility to work standby for the cash administration office. As a back up cash administrator, I was responsible for processing daily businesses and cash deposits, as well as counting and staging cash drawer tills. Within this past year I advanced to the corporate office and worked for 6 months as a customer care agent. I worked on a team as an EOS (employee opinion survey) captain where I was responsible for encouraging my coworkers to provide feedback regarding
Ask each and every frontline employee to be approach able every time and be friendly with the customers.
However, I ended up getting hired at the Walmart distribution center, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Although we still have to live paycheck to paycheck, we can now manage to pay the bills and put food on the table without as much stress as before.

Having those fellow co workers that bring you down, the ungodly amount of hours you have to work, and at time just the job in itself can be the reason that you have a horrible attitude about working. Find a job that you know you will enjoy doing, because doing that boring job in the end will do nothing but give you a bad attitude about the rest of the working
My first job was at a grocery store I was excited of meeting new people, making friends, gaining experience, but most importantly was excited to earn my own money. My pay rate was nine ten and pay day was every Friday. The first day I worked was on a Sunday afternoon in which I worked a heavy eight hour shift from eight in the early morning to four in the calm afternoon. It was a very productive day I did many go-backs, the hourly
In one particular circumstance, on the second and final day of my placement, a patient entered the pharmacy to collect their prescription items. As the patient came in, the pharmacist told me that I would be responsible for giving the
Work Experience: What I learned from working is that I am always told what to do. I am always order to do something. I did not enjoy that experience that is why I left.
Retail work is best known for low pay, difficult customers, and long shifts. Although this is at times true, retail work can teach people valuable lessons and skills that are used on and off the job. As a Sears sales associate, I spent my last summer working in retail, enduring both tiresome hours and demanding buyers. Through this experience, I learned tricks and skills that are useful to survive a job in retail.
What aspects of restaurant work are especially challenging to wait staff, and how does Barcelona’s approach to management help employees overcome the downsides of the job? The aspects of restaurant work that is especially challenging to wait staff would be poor management and customer satisfaction. In this profession of being a wait staff in many instances it is very difficult to please everyone one that you serve. The approach that Barcelona’s management took in helping their employees overcome the downsides of their job they gave them the green light in allowing them to do what was right in making the customers experience a happy one. In giving them this freedom, it made the wait staff feel like they were a part of the organization when it came to decision
The first reason that new employees who work at stores are annoying is because they are not aware of their surrounding of the store. For instance, the employees do not know around the stores so they cannot help us. The employee also cannot point out where things are and it takes much longer. Also, if the employees do not know the building, then they still want to help the customer by taking them around the whole store to get them something. Lastly, in the store, there would be only one new employee for that department, and if the shopper asked them something, they would respond, “Sorry, I Cannot help, I am new” to the buyer. Now the customer has no one to ask, and this is bad service. Clearly, having new store employees at a store is very frustrating. Not only are having new store workers frustrating, but also having people walk violent dogs in public.
Another good way of looking for a job, is to actually walk into the store/place that may be a good place to work. Up at the customer service they have job applications. Ask one of ...
I was only seventeen when I started working. I lived in a very small city that I downtown area full of different stores. During the summer times, most of the stores downtown would post job listings looking for young individuals who wanted to work during the summer season. I decided that I wanted to gain some work experience and decided to apply in one of the stores. The store I worked in was called Kid City; it was a clothing store for children. I enjoyed the job I had in the beginning; all I did was open up boxes and placed the clothes in the racks so the store associates could hang them up on the store racks. I enjoyed the job because I did not have to deal with the customers that came into the store. However, I was then moved to the front of the store to
