Being CA is better then cash. Don't have to deal with people that much.

Want seniority? Go work at your local chain grocery store. Chances are they're unionized. When I was at my first job I went from the 3rd column of the seniority list to the 1st within a year due to turnover (Started at 96th, made it to 24th). Got as many hours as I wanted because I was flexible.

I work at a union grocery and while the schedule is listed by seniority, most people get a similar amount of hours. The only people who get more are those who are selected to cross train in other departments. And those with limited availability get less hours regardless of seniority.

Cross train - open availability...

'nuff said.

OP also has open avail & has been taking the shifts that no one else wants.
@antwan5544: Keep doing what you're doing, do your best & hope that you'll wear her down with dependability & hard work.
If not, she may not be there forever & good CAs at my store always got snagged by salesfloor or backroom.

Seniority is, and should be, irrelevant. Long term, be patient and voice that you want more hours. Show your ambition.

 

[antwan5544]

I do have open availability.thanks for the advice redeye I will wear her down over ti.email thanks.

No sales, no hours. You did complain about your job before.
