there is nothing more infuriating about working here than signing people up for cards.
i am the fastest cashier and frequently blow other cashiers out of the water with how many transactions i ring, even though i'm not always the main cashier through the week. i don't call out for my scheduled shifts, i come in when people don't show for their shifts, im able to communicate to customers in spanish & ASL all while having to lip read because i'm Deaf!!! i never have to call managers up to help with issues, and other cashiers know they can call me to help them with issues. i'm quick at recovery! i KNOW i'm good at my job!!
but all i EVER hear is that i don't get enough cards. i have never once been complimented or even recognized for everything else i know i'm good at. just constant neverending conversations about how i didn't get enough cards, my conversion is too low, etc. we just did my yearly performance review and they kinda just tried to bump me up to "good" (out of struggling, good, excellent), because as the manager doing my review said, cards / loyalty are the main thing they base your review on. i think it's absolutely ridiculous. my coworkers who call out constantly, stand around doing nothing, and show up late still have jobs and get hours all because they get cards. i'm really getting tired of pretending this isn't the most ridiculous shit ever lol
i've tried a million different tactics, it's just not happening. i'm not going to be pushy and annoying and predatory for something that is a hard credit check and something they might not even get approved for. had i known this job was so credit card heavy, i NEVER would have applied. they failed to mention that until my first day at the register after training, orientation, etc.
i'm not looking for advice on how to do better with cards, i don't care about why getting cards is important so save the speech, i am simply venting because it's frustrating and i'm not in a position to move to another job right now. it's just so hurtful going into work and knowing that according to the only standard old navy seems to find important, i'm bad at what i do, even when i'm good at everything else. nothing but getting cards matters i guess!
Hi guys, I got one today but I’m feeling sorta icky about it?? I used to shop there a lot but I’m trying to be more mindful about what I need/buy. I do have kiddos and they grow out of things fast so that could be a plus but idk.
Do you guys have it? What are your thoughts???
