I work as a cashier for a *major grocery store chain*, and I overheard yesterday that my employer is not financially stable.
I was told by the Customer Service Manager that every cashier must scan 25 items per minute for their entire shift. The location I work at is already short handed at the front-end. Baggers/courtesy clerks are also cashiering, but they are only being paid the bagger/courtesty clerk hourly rate.
My feeling is that my employer wants to do more with less, and requiring the cashiers to scan 25 items per minute "allows" my employer to have less cashiers at the front-end so payroll is reduced.
How should I go about my workday regarding all of the above?
I am currently looking for a new job. Do I still need to give my employer my 2 weeks notice once I get a new job?
