It most likely stopped when the District FE position was eliminated. Like everything else, if its something someone is forcing you to do, its gone when the priority changes. You can only tell an associate they need to improve their speed, engagement so many times. You can teach someone to do a task, you can teach someone best practices, you cant them to speed up or get them to talk unless they made a change.
I wouldnt mind trying something else. I know that eventually thats gonna happen, only problem is my physical difficulties which keeps me from doing stuff other than cashiering but it doesnt matter much in my case now that Im a Self Checkout Cashier.
