So I'm fairly new to paint (only on my 3rd shift) and new to lowes overall. My department has me listed as closing till 11 by myself (with the only other person being another new paint hire who leaves an hour into my shift), but I haven't been trained on how to close or open??? Literally flying blind here when it comes to those duties so I'm really worried. Does anyone know how paint usually closes and any tips or advice?

We’re getting kind of close to the end of summer so my boss is going around asking OSLG associates what departments they want to transfer over to for the cold months. I told her I’d probably like to be a cashier because that sounds like the second easiest job compared to just being a waterer now. She asked if I’d be down to do Paint and I said I’d try it out and that as long as it’s not too physically strenuous I’m down (I’m really, really weak so half the jobs at Lowe’s are a bit too much for me). But she said Paint wasn’t like that so I agreed.

I looked it up on here to see what actual worker’s of it said and the answers seem all over the place. Half of them make it seem soooo overwhelming and like you need to do so much, and the other half is like “lol you just sit there and mix paint.” I’m really worried that I’m just not gonna be able to handle it. I don’t wanna go through the training and then tell them “haha actually I don’t think I’ll be good at this train me as a cashier now.” I don’t care about rude customers or anything, my main concern is that I won’t physically be able to do my job or it’ll be too complicated for someone like me who isn’t familiar with the topic.
