* If management asks you to do carts or clean ups, bag, during insane business hours. And they schedule poorly
You STILL have to do so. This is rare though, though it can and does happen. Especially at my store.
Meat department isn't supposed to have to check/bag. Perishables shouldn't have to. Your management sucks, lol.
In four going on five months working as a courtesy clerk I have never seen meat department have to collect carts or be cashier.
They have had to bag every now and then, but if I have the opportunity to take over for them (i.e. just came off 'lot or just arrived on shift...) I will immediately tell them that they are free and can go back to work. Their real work, not the crap as bagging. I can understand the need for help from other departments but god damn it, figure something else out, don't let one department potentially suffer because you just took one of their resources away. We have it rough on front end but you only make it rougher when you play store switching like that.

Thee not supposed to, no. But I've seen meat guys bag and do carts when we had no courtesies and we were slammed. They got to go back to their own work. Eventually. I've worked meat, and when try callede up front to bag I was 'wait. What? I'm i even supposed to be up front when I have my OWN work to do???'
As a cutter who started as a minimum wage stock person/closer I can say cutting is the easiest thing in the world. It was closing every night of the week and being told we had horrible closes and I wasn't getting anything done even when I made sure shelves were full and everything was clean before leaving that sucked. Meat department, at least at my store, gets ridden by management relentlessly. And managers are almost always clueless and have no idea what they're talking about. I would go for a different department. They meat pay isn't even that good with the new contract now anyway.
