So today I was put on the registers at the back of the store (opens directly into the mall; the front registers are closer to the doors that exit directly onto the parking lot).
It was certainly slower there, and I was actually relieved to trade in the lottery ticket machine for having to sell transit tickets. They're a lot less complicated ... I don't have to ask if people want to play the same numbers, or if they want Encore (lines of numbers other than the ones you get if you just buy a ticket, and yes, they cost extra), and so on and so forth. Either you want bus tickets or you don't.
However, there are still some questions that remain unanswered to date, such as:
1) How much am I getting paid? (Most likely the minimum wage but nothing has been confirmed);
2) More to the point, WHEN am I getting paid? I've worked five shifts to date and nobody's asked for my banking info;
3) The ad on the front door mentions "competitive benefits." Again ... a little specificity would be nice;
4) When do I get my official shirt? (We supply our own black pants and our own shoes; but the company gives us specific shirts).
I'm not sure whether to ask my trainer about all this, or the supervisor (who to me is a/k/a Miss Hovercraft), or wait until my final training shifts (two next week, both evening shifts) and just see what happens next.
