I came back to work at Meijer after six months off, and they have changed a few things around. For one, I cannot log into any cashier terminal (except for U-Scan) because the store has gone to thumbprint authentication. Since Im only going to be around for a week, I technically do not exist.
Anyway what they have me basically doing this week is running up and down the sales floor and covering breaks by just having the cashiers have me run under their name (huge liability if you ask me, but I'm not stupid). So I'm down on the Express Lane giving the cashier her break, and everything is going fine....
...And then this crowd of trailer-trash (no offense to anyone, but thats the only way I could describe them) led by a woman on a mobilized cart with one of those mobile respirator units comes down the lane. Everything goes fine, until I get to this MP3 player with a clearance sticker one the front that said 2 for $3....
SC: Make sure that rings up 2 for $3.
Me: okayyy....
I ring it up, noticing the REAL clearance sticker on the back stating that it was $105, and sure enough its $105. The SC immediately goes into the whole "It says 2 for $3 on the front, thats what you should give it to me for" routine while I try to call Electronics to confirm the price (even though I know its wrong), while the cashier I'm covering for returns.
We both concur that the price is wrong, all while SC is going "You should give it to me for the 2 for $3, thats not fair routine", we bring over the CSM, who confirms that it is not right (and also notices that the 2 for $3 clearance sticker is for FASHION clearance items, confirming my personal suspicion that she had switched the labels), SC doesn't listen to her, so CSM gets ahold of electronics as well as our team leader (who started the week after I left six months earlier, and thus didn't know too well), he comes over there and tells the CS (who is the all the while STILL ranting that "it wasn't fair"). I get called away to help another guest on a carryout, and come back, SHE IS STILL GOING. Our team leader basically says no.
And then she FINALLY gives up, and says she'll take everything else (nothing that was worth trying to scam off us) and wasn't going to come back. TL, CSM, and I walk away (so I can know whose break Im covering next ), and he basically says to us "Thats perfectly fine with me if she doesn't come back."
There is hope from Meijer Management. There is some backbone there!
