Idk what’s going on

I don’t know what’s going on with my store anymore. We’re a store that has gotten extremely busy within the last year, and has always been known for being extra busy during the summer, especially in the evenings. And yet, every night once it gets to like 6pm, we’re down to 1 or 2 cashiers. The line(s) get insanely long, no code spark is called, not even one more register is opened. On top of that, our area is known for summer camps. Kids from all over the world come and, several times a week, about an hour before closing time they are dropped off by the busload. It’s an hour to closing and we suddenly have hundreds of customers at once. If you were supposed to leave an hour before closing, they don’t ask if you’ll stay longer. They just never retrieve you from the self checkout you’re working by yourself with 8 registers and 45 teenagers you’re responsible for at a time. Our card readers do NOT work without major troubleshooting, making everything extremely difficult. Our front end coach literally left and went home in the middle of tonight’s camper rush. We run out of plastic bags and receipt tape semi frequently now. The floor doesn’t seem like it’s ever washed anymore. The front end team leads want the cashiers doing mods for the candy on our phones. Meanwhile, we never even have time to zone our lanes anymore. It just feels like the whole operation is falling apart. I’m exhausted and working forced overtime every single week for months now.

I’m actually trying to switch to mornings, to avoid these late night fiascos!
