Do you know the feeling of slight irritation when the cashier at the supermarket once again offers to buy chewing gum or a candy bar? It would seem like a simple situation, but behind it lies a whole system of pressure on retail workers that most shoppers are not even aware of.
So, what happens if the salesperson at the checkout doesn't offer you the product?
You can guess that they are not doing this out of a great desire to offer you something very profitable, right?
“Cashier's algorithm” is one of the main responsibilities of an employee.
Often, each seller is assigned a personal sales plan, and if they fail to meet it, they will buy back the remaining balances at their own expense.
I know there will be former retail workers who will say this doesn't happen and they have never encountered such tyranny.
Lucky. The truth is that in the most efficient supermarkets, working conditions are even tougher. There, they force you to buy back not only the goods from the cash register, but also the overdue goods that were created through the fault of the seller. They actively hand out reprimands, deprive you of bonuses, and fire you.
I remember the girl who was selling from the cash register. She said, take it, otherwise I will be left without a salary. The working scheme.
