take more pay.......and who wants to be a cashier.....if you work in the lumber department you can at least walk around

Extra $1.30 and you don't have to deal with customers as much? Only 10 more minutes. For a 40 hour week, you'd make an extra $52, which would cover thecost of the extra gas.

The farther home depot is the better option.

ive had a ton of friends who've worked at home depot. all of them say working in lumber is a nightmare. take it for what it's worth

lumber department actually gets pretty busy, but I would defintely go for that position instead of the cashier since the pay is way better. I got hired at homedepot less than a month ago working as a cashier $8.90/hr, job is pretty coo

NEVER be a cashier at HD, the cashiers basically RUN the whole store and thats from experience. I hated working there

^what do you mean?do you mean they have more responsibility than the other workers?

I work for Home Depot and honestly Lumber and Building Materials is a workout. Be prepared to lift a lot of cinderblock, 80lb bags of cement, 16' pieces oflumber, plywood, sheetrock/durock!! Plus you have to be nice on the large and small size forklifts to manuever material through the aisles and on and off theshelves. On the other hand, Cashiering isn't that bad (depending on your store). Random sku checks, constant calls to the MOD (manager), angry customers,price checks, and you're basically confined to one area, but u might get some chicks that creep up in your line. However, u can start of as a cashier, dothat for about a season, and then switch to another dept without a salary decrease, that's the route I would take...

im kinda leaning toward the cashier position because i was a cashier for a year at another store so im pretty comfortable dealing with p.o. customers and ujust stand there and chill.i like being busy because the day ends faster but i hurt my knee playing basketball last week and i dont want to mess it up anymorelifting suoer heavy things and working fast.ill have to sleep on it and decide before thursday

 

[ajwings23]

I will go for the cashier position.

 

[frankthekingdtx]

thanks for the advice everybody ill let yaw know what i decide to do later on
