Would you apply for a grocery store that you have to memorize the code of 50bproducts?

Would you apply to grocery store that you have to memorize the barcode of 50 products?

YES

NO

[gorydetails]

lol, what? Why the fuck would you have to memorize bar codes?

[Asker]

Because its not in the system so you have to lol

[gorydetails]

I can’t imagine you couldn’t find a job somewhere else without that bullshit.

[Asker]

I know I was let go after 5 day training because I keep forgetting the codes lmao

[OlderAndWiser]

You must memorize it before you begin the job?

[Asker]

Maybe yes. But I hope they put barcode on it like written

[OlderAndWiser]

If you are working 40 hours per week as a cashier, you are going to memorize many bar codes.

[Asker]

But as a 5 day trainee I was let go. Lol

[OlderAndWiser]

Maybe the cashier job was not meant to be your job. What would you like to do for a job?

[Asker]

I actually applied there as encoder in office cuz in the job ad they posted they were looking for college graduate and then they called me if Im willing to be a cashier I said yes and they trained me for 5 days and what I found out is my schoolmate in college working in office there she got the position because her brother is friends with boss (yeah they have connections) and she also recommend her wifes cousin who is (my old coworker from my old job thats why I know her if she graduated college or not) is only highschool graduate as encoder in office ( a higher position than casher) to work there the boss hired her because as I said they have connections. And then me as a college graduate I dont have connections they put me as a cashier (its just I felt disappointed because in the job ad they posted they were looking for college graduate in an office) yeah just venting

[Asker]

Maybe sometimes you have to be connected to the boss to get higher position even if your qualifications is less than what they are looking for. I just found out that today lol.

[Asker]

Yeah the boss gave me my allowance paycheck like only $26 (Philippines) $6 per day so 5 days I got only $26 lol barely a salary but its okay. I just felt stupid because he said its my last day today and they have more cashier lined up. ( of course I got it like why would they train me if they have more cashier that is gonna work for them? I only know no one applied as a cashier yet and… [+]

$30* correction. But the time we work there is 14 hours we start at 5:30 am to 7:30-8 pm. And only $10 they dont pay the overtime of workers but in labor code they should have buy they give us free breakfast and free lunch as compensation.

[Asker]

I also heard one time the dole (department of labor and employment) once visited the store but the manager instructed her employees that their time of working hours is only 8 hours like they start at 8 am to 5pm. Plus they kinda fake the salary too she intstructed them the rate" like say your salary is more than $10 which is funny cuz they know they were violating the labor code. According to labor code our work hours should be 8 hours and ot pay is 25% of your hourly rate. And 30% if holiday and you go to work per hour. The salary is only $10 per 8 hours (500 pesos)

[Asker]

But then again no one reports them cuz no one knows the insider of that.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, it wasn't meant to be for you!

[Asker]

I guess so I was kinda sad yesterday and people working there gossiping and looking at me when I was let go. Maybe you are right its not meant for me. I just felt stupid cuz I am college graduate and I failed job as a cashier.

[OlderAndWiser]

Maybe you are too bright and the supervisor felt threatened by you.

[Asker]

Lol I don't know but I always observed haha. I guess all employees there are too loyal I've seen them badmouthing other stores than the store they were working at. Plus I've seen there married couple working there and mother and son working there which is nepotism by the way in my opinion. Like I don't know if the boss is reading the resumes of all employers there they have mistakes too. But then again I think the boss is very fond of people who suck at them.

Lol I don't know too.
On my first day Im cashier and bagger which is different job role for a cashier cuz its only my role.
Plus they have diser but if we have no customers we have to display the items on rack. But they have like 15 disers already. Its just what it is I guess.

[Asker]

The only people I like there are men some are nice (some are not which i feel in my gut) I don't know they give me bad feelings. I guess I can feel if a person is nice or not.

[Asker]

The women gossips all the time.

[OlderAndWiser]

You'll find something much more suitable and then you'll be glad that this job didn't last!

[Asker]

Thats what my mom said to me too. If its not for me its not for me.

[laly520]

seems like lot of work

[slatyb]

You mean produce? Those are not barcodes, just like four digit product codes. This isn't so hard.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Anyone that works at grocery store is a lazy mf.

[Asker]

Why? It is kinda hard though. Some people purchase wholesale and you have to be very careful counting every piece by piece

[Danny_dan92]

Jobs have tasks and responsibilities

[strateguy632]

nay.
