If you apply for cashier you don't really stand a chance. They get cashiers and sales associates from the main stores around town to do the cash registers because they're experienced and more trustworthy. Sales associates an stock associates do the same task on the floor if it's a warehouse sale. But you do more of the stock associate part. Basically you make sure the shirts or whatever is neat and tidy. Nothing on the floor and everything placed where they should be. You get your own sections. Tshirts, hoodies, tank tops, dresses, vintage etc. sounds like a easy job which it is but prepare to have your legs sore as fuck by the end of the day. Keep in mind each section has 4-6 aisles and each aisle is like aisle you find in london drugs. Theyre long lol so you have to walk a lot. It may sound chill because how much work can there be right? Well expect the unexpected, racks get messy really easily because customers rarely put the things back where thy belong. I did section manager, basically i had to do everyone's job and be in charge of half the warehouse. Keep all the employees in check and up to date. But yeah it's a chill job, you work at your own pace, talk to cute chicks if you want, it's easier to approach them than you do at school because you work there and have that choice to do so, had a lot of really cute co workers too lol.

Hours are flexible. Kinda... You get the choice of working from 8am-4pm or 3pm-11pm. You won't get hired if you are only willing to work a few hours. That's because the sale is a week and they won't bother to change their schedule to fit your needs. Bus down there after school or something. If you work the 4-11 they usually make you leave at 9 because that's when they close an there's not much things to do.

To get hired you have to be dedicated or at least look and sound dedicated during the interview. Just smile a lot and be cheerful. Wear fashionable clothes to the interview. Rocks and trues aren't fashionable at all lol. Just overpriced jeans with shit on the back pocket. Wear something you would find at AA or the place youre going to work for. I always wear a slim fitting button up and straight or tight BLACK jeans. Knowing how to dress is one of the main things they look for. The got desperate the last few days because they declined a lot of people so they got pretty desperate and hired random people lol. But yeah all of the above is what you need to know to get most retail jobs. Holy shit spent so much time typing this post on my home lol hope it helped
