Topic	Is it unfairly stressful to be a cashier?
Donald_J_Zeus 06/25/19 6:15:11 PM #21:	...that's not really stressful work. Unbridled9 posted... This is a medium/medium-large strip-mall store (10 long aisles across). Due to the high number of customers constantly coming in, often right up till closing, I find myself to be completely unable to complete all the tasks. Even when confined to just cashiering it's rare for me to even get ten seconds every hour to, say, take a drink from a water bottle. It's really stressing me out but there are only two non-shift leads whom are able to stay till 12 and it's been this way for seven months now. As-is I basically have to work every night except one (which they consistently try to change to being every night) and it's really stressing me out. I can't spend time with friends (working when they're off work) and I'm having trouble sleeping out of fear of sleeping through my alarm clock. If your manager is giving you shit for not getting stuff done, give them shit for not having more people on staff. You're in retail, bro. They're ALWAYS going to try to make do with as little staff as possible. Unbridled9 posted... I will even admit to, multiple times, wishing a car accident would happen to me on the way in so I wouldn't have to go in, actively trying to encourage minor illnesses to become 'sick-day worthy', and the like. Is this normal for a cashier or am I just being a big baby about it? Either quit or suck it up. It's a lousy job, but you know what you're in for. Unbridled9 posted... 8 hours. But before 8 we usually have 3 people in the store. And it's technically more as we're expected to finish our work but, due to customer volume and a lack of employee's we never finish by 12:30. We usually don't get to leave till 1, have to leave multiple things undone, and get lip for it the following morning. I estimate that, if we actually 'finished' everything we'd be there until 2 A.M. It's just not possible to get it done any sooner with the number of customers we have before closing. Are you getting paid for working that extra time? If not, report it to HR and, if that doesn't work, file a labor complaint with the state. When I worked retail and I was scheduled to a certain time, I would only work the extra if I was clocked in and getting paid for it. If they asked me to clock out, I left. --- Making Gamefaqs great again <cite>Donald_J_Zeus posted [p:923839478] in Is it unfa...
