Ok, so I'm a cashier at target, well my official title is cart attendant, because I get carts besides cashiering.
At every job I have worked, I go it at A time, and leave at B time.
If I have to work over, I am usually asked "Hey would you mind working over for 20 minutes or so?"
Today I worked from 4pm to 11pm.
That does not sound bad, until the fact that I have to get up at 7:45am the next day to work.
I need my sleep, or my work performance goes down the toilet, but that is everybody.:sneaky:
So I work my 7 hours, thinking I would get to leave at 11pm, get home, chat with my GF for a few minutes, and hop into bed.
WRONG!
When 11pm rolls around, I shut my light off and walk up to the Service Desk, waiting to hear the usual "11pm? Well Ok, see ya and have a good one."
Instead, I'm greeted with a puzzled look on the GSTL's (shift manger) face.
So I ask what's wrong.
I am informed that when I work until the store closes, I have to do "whatever needs to be done" until up to one hour after my shift ends.
This made me extremely mad, but I kept it to myself and put a smile on my face.
I was never told when I was hired on that I would have to work up to one hour after my shift ends if I work to the time the store closes.
As a matter of fact, overtime was never even discussed.
I was never told the entire time I worked that I might have to stay over.
So here I am, feeling like a prisoner being held against my will.D:
So I ask what I am supposed to do.
I'm told to get hand baskets and distribute them around the store.
So as I am about to get a cart and load them up with hand baskets, another GSTL approaches me and tells me to help a couple team members to help load a large box into someones van.
So I bundle up, go out, and help, and come back inside.
I take my coat, hat, gloves, vest, and walkie talkie off and proceed to get back to distributing hand baskets.
So the GSTL says she doesn't want me distributing handbaskets, and instead wants me to clear the lot.
So I put my coat, hat, gloves, vest, and walkie talkie on and go clear the lot.
20 minutes later I walk back inside.
The GSTL says "That looks wonderful, your done."
So I walk to the time clock and punch out.
At this point, I am very worn out. I cannot even focus my eyes properly.:'(
I walk up to the service desk and the other GSTL says "Where are you going??"
I told her that the other GSTL said I was done.
"Well ....were not done working."
At this point, my patience is wearing paper-thin. So now not only am I being told to work over, I'm being told to work longer than what the other GSTL said.
Luckily, the other GSTL said. "Oh it's okay, he can go home."
I told my GF that I would be home in 10 minutes, 45 minutes prior. I did not get to talk to her because she went to bed.
[End Rant.
