Unfortunately I didn’t get to talk to my boss regarding the cashiering situation. However, I do believe I’ve caused a little chaos already. Had one of my bosses and a couple of my fellow co-workers come up to me today basically saying “Well, you’re going to be checking.” and I pretty much said “No, I’m not…” They tried to pressure me into it… “Everyone is going to be cashier trained, you’re making a big mistake!” Yeah I’m friggin scared too. Worst case scenario I’ll be stuck with a same pay job or better. Give me a fucking break. I know a lot of shit around that store. They’ll have to replace me with a complete n00b that won’t have the same experience. He may have the same or better after some time… But that stuff takes awhile to learn. Funny thing is, my Boss said “Well you’d better talk to Mark (main one in charge).” and I told him flat out “I was going to, but noticed he wasn’t in today… But we will talk”
If I wanted to be a cashier I would have signed up to be one from the very start. I do not. If they fail to see something that simplistic then it’s time to move on.
I have always wondered why there is always the pressure in the grocery business to check? It seems like such a PITA IMHO lol!
Even worse, one of the bosses told me that since I refuse to check I have nowhere to go… seriously? I can bake, order, stock and do whatever they say, but I won’t reach full potential until I start cashiering? No thanks.
