that's pretty lame. i work at a superstore (meijer) and it's so dumb. i work with people who call being a cashier a career, so there's very little understanding. we're supposed to be above the performance rate of 95% (based on time) and i'm usually at 105% and up. however, i'm heckled by other employees, because i'm not at 120%.
When I worked at a clothing store I hated trying to keep up with the performance rate goals. They always felt like a burden because I was being evaluated for something I didn't really care about. Of course, poor scores meant poor hours, so there was always an incentive, but they always gave me crappy hours anyway!
they apparently recorded the average speed of cashiers. things like breaks and later hours are taken into account. from the first item scanned to the time the drawer shuts/receipt is printed, we're recorded. i'm not a big fan.
That totally blows, man. But speaking as a waitress, the food service industry is cold and uncaring. Its not a tragedy that you're not working in it any more.
It's against policy at the restaurant I'm working at to divulge individual daily sales, however all of my coworkers are constantly asking me how much I've sold, and I never seem to keep up. Which doesn't bother me terribly, because this is a temporary thing, and I don't care. I wrote more about this but deleted it because it's stupid. I hate the job, but one must do what one must do.
So now, you find a job that sucks less! You'll be okay. No worries.
Well, if I lasted a month then I guess I couldn't have been too bad...
The biggest dissapointment is that when I pick up my final paycheck tomorrow I'll have to return "Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal" to Dave. When I mentioned offhand one day that I enjoyed the first game, he rifled through his desk and happily handed me the sequel to borrow.
I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to play it!
Food service is hell. Once at concensions at the movie theater i got in trouble for calling it butter topping instead of fake butter topping. Ever since then, i refuse to work with food, and i only work with children. ps, we should talk more cause i kind of miss you.

How is your performance rate measured?

Thank you for your words of condolence.
I guess I can look on the bright side. My schedule has just been blown wide open.
