My Job at Target

Work has been brutal lately. I work as a cashier at the Target in La Verne. I usually get scheduled four days of the week because of school, but that still a lot of hours to keep me busy. The supervisors expect a lot of of use and most of the time we can't keep with their demands. We are suppose to sign people up for the special credit card that Target has. With the economic crisis these days, most people don't want to get new credit, and those that want it know they won't get approved. My supervisiors expect me to get at least three or four each day, but in the end I am only able to get one over few days. I think one of the problems I have is I am not to enthusiastic about getting them, so I don't have a good presentation when I am asking someone to sign up. One main factor is I have just been too tired at work cause of the extreme lack of sleep I have been getting. I'm not awake enough to want to really try to get things dont properly. I've noticed when I am wide awake and enthused about getting many people to get the Target card, I am able to get several people to sign up. Over the summer, I seriously had days where three or four people signed up.
Another thing at work that gets out of control sometimes is the drama that the guests bring with them. Everyone wants their items to be on sale and everyone blames any mistakes the computer makes on the cashier. I have had many people scream at me just because they think I raised the price of the item personally because they thought I was a racist. I think its funny how ignorant people can be and how they take pride in it. I'm just there to do my job and follow whatever the computer tells me to do. I usually work in guest services where things can be returned, and there is the most drama over there. People will come up without a receipt and try to get money for an expensive item, and yell at me when I tell them we can not return the item due to policies. People just act nice to you until they realize they can't get what they want.
