How many departments have you worked now (in the same store)?

[Cyanocobalamin]

At teh Depot I did nearly everything from pushing dollar bills to pulling 1/2 ton pallets of paper from receiving to the front end of the store.

I did strictly cashiering for about 1/3 of my total tenure, and another 1/3 stocking/receiving.

Also: Furniture, mostly covering the salespeople's breaks/lunches.
Cash Office, I did this for a year straight, and off and on at various times.
Technology: Just setting the occasional planogram, no sales.

In the past month:


DSD Receiving aka babysitting the Pepsi and Frito Lay reps

Yep . . . I think I need to charge more for that service. As it is now, I've been told I'm the head honcho of our store's Vendor Harrassment Program.

As a side note: it can be a good place to meet guys.

At my first grocery store I worked in:
- Cashier
- Service Desk/Office (including Acting Head Cashier)
- Utility Clerk/Bagger (never officially was classified as one though)
- Grocery
- Bakery (1 day emergency fill in)
- Deli (usually mid-shift or closer, emergency opener if needed)
- Dairy

If the store had stayed open I was possibly going to be up for a key carrier position.

Second store:
- Cashier (checklane and self scan)
- Office/Service Desk (including back-up head cashier)
- Utility Clerk/Bagger
- Bakery/Deli (emergency fill-in for about two hours)
- Produce (was the backup dept. head for about three weeks)
- Pricing/file maintenance
- Grocery (including Dairy/Frozen as needed)

Third store (same company as second, just transferred):
- Cashier (checklane and self scan)
- Office/Service Desk (including backup head cashier - unofficially)
- Utility Clerk/Bagger
- Grocery
- Pricing (including backup Pricing Coordinator)
- CAO
- Dairy
- Manager-in-charge (fill in for about three hours - longest three hours of my work career)

Pretty much I stayed out of the meat room and away from the bakery as much as possible. In one day at the first grocery store I started the day as a mid-shift office clerk, became a cashier, then deli closer, then office closer with about an hour of bagger thrown in for good measure.

At one point at the first grocery store there was only one person I could trade hours with, since we were the only two people cross-trained in the same way (close/open office, cashier, deli). That really sucked when we would want time off, as one of us HAD to be in the store. Apparently the word "overtime" didn't mean much to management there as the two of us had enough of it.

At Goodwill, I started as a cashier.

Then I was moved to pricing and stocking the clothes, along with cashiering duties.

Then add pricing everything that wasn't clothes, and stocking them, to the above.

I also took in the donations (added bonus, had to train 5 new guys with that, and I'd never done it officially).

I also had to train a supervisor on how to do returns.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say I did just about everything there.

When I worked at the EES, I was a cashier (would have been promoted on my bagging skills, too ), and one day I covered in Electronics for ½ hour or so. Pretty weird. Had to walk a video game to Lay-A-Way.

Oh, and bakery, too.

All I have left is frozen, dairy and grocery. I'd add sushi, but it's filled from the outside.

With my current job? Just the one I'm in (tier 3). However, at my tier 2 job, within 3 months, I was doing floor control, working tank (newbie training pool), coaching fellow employees in team, updating fellow employees in team about new policies, working break phone, AND getting back on the phones when they really really needed me...which I avoided, if at all possible. That was about the most depressing job I've ever worked (when on the phones anyway)...kinda strange how I can handle this one so well.

When I worked in Staples, I was the "Sales Technician". I did sales in the electronics department and tech upgrades. I also worked in every other position that didn't have "manager" in the title. Too bad I took a job with HP before they could promote me.

[prjkt]

I have worked in 4 areas of my store
Registers, Customer Greeter, Sound & Vision and General Merch (on the floor)

GM is the only section I don't regularly work (some days I work in all three of the other areas)
