One of the craziest aspects of these kinds of jobs is how much of your "performance" is completely out of your hands. An employee who happens to get scheduled during the busy afternoon rush, for instance, easily meets her sales goals and is praised by management. But the unfortunate few who end up on a quieter shift or have equipment problems (e.g., a cash register malfunction) find themselves criticized for failing to meet expectations, ridiculed by supervisors, and eventually terminated. You could literally be a Harvard graduate but find yourself terminated for failing to meet company goals due to the random algorithm of a scheduling program.

Yes, absolutely. They also track how many items you scan during a shift, which is completely beyond your control. This is how they measure your "productivity" and determine your worthiness as an employee.

So do they expect cashiers to be upselling customers? Like persuading them to run back into the aisles and grab more shit?

Yes, and I've done this many times. A customer buys a bottle of Pepsi, for instance, and I'll remind them that the 12-packs are on sale 3/$6 or whatever. This increases sales and also the scan rate. There were many occasions when I literally ran into the aisle to grab things for customers just to increase my scan rate. Cashiers are also supposed to promote various items of the month, charities, and special deals only available to regular customers. And all of this for barely above minimum wage in many cases.

I can't overemphasize the points made in this poast. There are all kinds of factors beyond an employee's control, yet they are still held accountable and rated as "below expectations" for this or that metric. I've seen people fired over this sort of thing.

I got fired from a shoe store for not selling enough socks when I was in high school

I sold more shoes than anyone but the 'manager' (we just called him that because he was our dealer, nobody was really In Charge), but got fired over socks.
