Calling BS on this one. They punch the number into the register and it shows how much change is needed.
As for the work conditions - poorly trained or petty "managers" are a large factor. Failing to back up the front line employees is another example. (Let's face it. The customer is (almost) always wrong, not right when attacking the front line employee over corporate policies. And there's no reasons they couldn't provide a stool for the cashiers. There's no need to make them stand all shift at the cash registers. That's just to 'put them in their place'. That last one, of course, isn't on the managers. It's on the executives.
Hourly retail workers treated like crap, and those of us who have had desk jobs our whole career shouldn't pretend otherwise.
Good points.
In Italy for certain and other countries as seen on videos all cashiers are seated. No reason that can’t happen here.
Yes, desk jockies should not think retail clerks are treated well..Older lumber riders like myself used to do those jobs and remember just how crappy that experience was. It was a motivator, for most of us.
BUT...a lot of those folks don’t help themselves much with their “I don’t want to be here” attitude. We were never that way and most customers weren’t rude aholes either.
