im f21, lena is f22 and beau is 17. we work at a vitamin store and everyone has to be trained on the register before theyre moved up. beau is only 17, but they’re training him to get used to being in the aisle and learning about the vitamins, so he’s not allowed to be at the registers for 2 weeks
today lena and i just found out that we’re head cashiers. lena is head cashier the days she works and the day we work together, im back up cashier and we’re not allowed to be at the registers together if it’s not needed, because our boss said two cashiers together just talk, which is understandable, but we’re also not allowed to leave the registers. the cashier is the first person customers see and if there’s just one of us up there, then people will ask us questions, but we just have to give them general directions as to where things are, because we can’t leave. there’s been times where i’m up there all day, alone, and it gets busy and everyone else is busy and i’m trying to check people out and the line gets long, and i have no backup cashier
lena and i were talking and explaining how we think it’s not fair to give us a different job title without a pay raise, which i’m slowly starting to agree with. i also wish they had talked to us about this before setting in stone. i know some things are just not negotiable, but i think letting us know beforehand instead of putting it in order the same day we find out isn’t fair
i’m also concerned because i don’t know what’s going to happen to me. beau is getting a pay raise and a higher job title, lena is getting a higher job title with no pay raise as of now, and im just kinda there.
im no vitamin aisle expert by any means, but i do a lot of taking inventory and pricing items, so i think they’ll be switching me over to that, but we’re all concerned
are we overthinking?
