All my life I have had everything handed to me. Then my mom told me the worst news ever. I had to get a job. Those words made my heart sink because I knew exactly what it meant, I had to grow up. I put a lot of job applications in and either didn’t hear anything back or they said no, just nicer. Finally, I heard back from the Kroger near my house. I was hired to be part Drug gm, part floral. Then I was told that I wouldn’t get enough hours, so I became a cashier. I was excited at first. Then over my first few months as a cashier, that excitement was flushed down the toilet. The customers were becoming rude and my supervisors were taking advantage of their power. Being a cashier, you are supposed to know about most, if not all, of the sales and deals. If I wasn’t sure they would ask me if I would go look, well, that is a problem because I am not allowed to leave my register. So, I would ask my courtesy clerk to go check.

After a year and a half of that, I was done. I heard about ClickList from a coworker and I decided to sign up. I was pulled off of my register for my interview and I guess they liked what I had to say because I got the job. We launched September 6^th, 2018. It was slow at first, but it was also a learning process. The substitutions were kinda stupid and we were getting asked what would be a good substitute for what. The other night my coworker and I were frantically trying to get everything together because there were service counter items that weren’t staged until time to pick up because we didn’t know about it and there were totes that weren’t staged and I feel like everyone is being careless. Either you do the job right or not at all.

Everything has been picking up as more and more people start finding out about ClickList and it can be hectic at times but it is definitely worth it. I enjoy it more than being a cashier and I don’t know if I would ever go back. I took a shift for a friend who is a cashier……. Worst Decision Ever!! Now I know I will never go back to being a cashier and I don’t miss it. I don’t know what I want to do with my life, but when I do, I know it will be something that I will love and give more than I am giving to my job now!
