It's common sense not to crush the chips! If this lady had HER picture taken...it wouldn't be for her packing technique.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-77662568648070149792018-03-07T20:55:08.475-06:002018-03-07T20:55:08.475-06:00We have a similar training video that we are requi...We have a similar training video that we are required to watch every now and again. The bag packing segment is hilarious to most of us, the person in the video has a slow conveyor belt with one item at a time coming towards him which gives him plenty of time to pick up each item, scan it, then place it oh-so-carefully in the bag, all the while making smiley chit-chat with the customer. There's no mention of separating items or placing chips on top of other items, although if I remember right there is a bit on keeping cold items together. We laugh at this training, because in a busy supermarket the conveyor belts move quite a bit faster, people tend to load them up until the goods resemble Mount Everest and still we manage to pack quickly and efficiently while not crushing eggs, bread, biscuits or chips. An overflowing trolley load used to take me around three minutes and I remember quite vividly one customer taking photos of the neatly packed bags so she could show them off.

Even a loud mouthy kid knows you don't try to force a bag of chips into not-enough room.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-26446883376350656752018-03-07T13:15:22.217-06:002018-03-07T13:15:22.217-06:00Walmart has an on-going teaching program on comput...Walmart has an on-going teaching program on computers in the back of the store (computer based learning, referred to as CBL). Periodically the handmaidens are forced to undergo this training and they have to score a certain percentage to pass. I remember the one teaching how to bag items. Even though I worked in the Pharmacy, I was required to take all the basic CBL's. The bagging of chips is clearly addressed. Maybe she slept through that one. If you don't pass, you have to take it over and over again until you do. Maybe she is among the employees who have to constantly retake their CBL's.<br /><br />Good help is hard to find, you know.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-8977634001601685882018-03-06T22:06:36.859-06:002018-03-06T22:06:36.859-06:00I'll never understand your checkout people.

It may be a low-paying no-brainer job, but like my mum used to say, a job is a job and if you have to be a street sweeper or toilet scrubber, be the best street sweeper or toilet scrubber there is. Same with checkout work, be the best checkout person there is, be the best you can be. People will notice and maybe offer you a better job somewhere else and just like that, you're on your way up the pay scale.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
