Hi everyone, so basically I got hired here at Walmart around the end of June this summer as a part-time cashier. I’m also still on probation until end of September. When I applied for the job I put my availability completely open minus one night for personal reasons. But now school is starting back up and I will only be available to work weekends.

So I obviously have to talk to my manager about it especially because the next schedule is coming out soon. And I want to be ahead of it so they don’t have to scramble and re arrange the whole schedule.

My question is how exactly should I bring up the whole changing my availability thing to my manager?? is there a certain way I should word it or something.

What if she says no or won’t let me change it do I just quit??

And tips and help needed please!!!!!

I (19F) just got hired at a big grocery/retail store as a cashier about a week ago and I already hate it. I received minimal online training which was online using the company computers in a back room alone, and then I was just thrown onto the register the next shift. I’ve worked 3 shifts so far and I’ve come home crying every night. I feel a lot of pressure in general because it’s such a big company and it’s my first real job. They also have expectations set for cashiers (surveys, donations, Mastercard). I’m a people person so I don’t mind the interacting with customers but the standing for 8 hours at a time is killing me. Today my schedule got updated and I work 4 days in a row next week. I don’t know what to do I keep crying before every shift and even at home when I think about having to go in again. Does anyone have any tips for overcoming this anxiety??
