Home Depot, Cashier Job Review and Interview

Great for a hardware store. The dirt kind of got to me after a while but they kept things as clean as they could - it's just what it's like in a home improvement store. I thought the break-room could have been kept a lot cleaner but I am a neat freak. As far as the actual work, I worked during the fall and winter which is a slower time for THD. It seemed like it was either tons of customers or none. Because we were so slow at times often I was the only cashier to run both my own register and four self-check-out machines. If I had a lot of customers this got VERY hectic. However they wouldn't schedule more people because often they would just end up being sent home early. What bothered me the most was working the out-side garden during the late fall and winter. It was a company policy that the garden gate had to have a cashier through Christmas but there were hardly ANY customers. It was VERY cold and usually I just sat there for hours reading a book because there was nothing to do. Finally they set up a little shed with a space-heater but it was very frigid. I didn't think it was worth it to have a cashier out there (and neither did my immediate management) but it was company policy.
