CASHIER TRAINER CCTP-101
CASHIER It is not necessary for the Customer Service Manager (CSM) to

TRAINER facilitate every register training. This allows flexibility in scheduling an
adequate number of register training each week. Cashier Trainer
should be encouraged to facilitate the new cashier training process
whenever possible.
In a sponsorship, established key associates are assigned to new

associates to answer any new questions and help them feel comfortable
in their new position. The Cashier Trainer plays an important role in the
new cashier training process. A Cashier Trainer helps teach and
develop the new associate in:
• Wal-Mart policies and procedures

• Wal-Mart Culture
• Specific job training
What is important, is that we use the right criteria for determining who
should be a Cashier Trainer.
All Cashier Trainers possess a common trait – they believe in building
the success of our company by developing our people. Cashier
Trainers must possess these key qualities:
• Demonstration of our company beliefs.

• Policies conformity.
• Front-end standards familiarity.
• Transaction procedures expertise.
• Register operations experience.
• Security awareness.
• Loss Prevention attentiveness.
• EAS system understanding.
• Communication skills.
• Instructor competence.
• Organising ability
• A positive, enthusiastic, cheerful and helpful attitude that embodies
the Wal-Mart family spirit.

ORIENTATION CCTP-200
OVERVIEW A Customer Service Manager (CSM) or a Cashier Trainer must

work with the new Cashier when using the Cashier training Packet.
The CSM must also ensure that the new cashier performs the job
requirements as outlined the job description and training plan.
ORIENTATION Orientation Sessions are designed to give our new Associates the
information they need to do their jobs. The Orientation Process also
allows us to build a relationship with our new Associates and to make
them feel welcome and part of the team.
Ensure that each new Cashier reads and understands the job description
and the performance appraisal.
The program is not optional; it is required for Full-time, Peak-time and

Temporary Associates. Each new Associate is assigned a Sponsor
who is responsible for:
• Building quality relationships with new Associates and helping the

new Cashier feel like a member of the team.
• Helping the Associates through every step of their Training Plan and
ensuring that it is followed. When the Cashier has completed the
Cashier Checklist, the Cashier must return it to the Personnel
Manager.
• Ensuring that the new Cashier has all the tools to perform his/her
job.
• Answering any questions about Wal-Mart culture, policies and
procedures.
• Helping Associates to gain skills and understand how to advance in
the Company if that is their goal.
• Showing Associates how their individual jobs affect fellow
associates and the overall Company performance.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that each new Cashier takes part in every portion of the
Orientation Process.

CASHIER This is the most important area of your store, as the Cashier is the last
S.W.A.S. person a customer will come in contact with.
Fast and friendly service may be the only reason the customer decides
to shop at Wal-Mart again. There is a strong need to have well trained
and informed Cashier Associates.
CASHIER Cashier S.W.A.S. meetings must be held every week, with a monthly
S.W.A.S. recap held every four weeks to assist us in reaching our monthly service
MEETING goals. The Store Manager, Front End Assistant Manager and Lead
C.S.M. are all required to attend.

entire group of any:

§ High shrinkage potentials
§ Cashier recognition
§ Specific success stories

CASHIER The Cashier Corner S.W.A.S. Board needs to be set up and

Cashier Corner – 4 Star Cashier Program:
The 4-Star Cashier Program is design to recognise each store's top performing cashier on a
monthly basis. The Store Manager selects a 4-Star Cashier each month, and the District
Manager personally presents the award to the selected Cashier at a store meeting during the
cashier's shift.
A 4-Star Cashier receives a recognition certificate, lapel pin and one “Good Job Button”.
The 4-Star Cashier is based on the following criteria.
Here is how the program works:

Customer
By the 5th day of each month, the Lead CSM with
his / her management team will identify the best
performance in cashiers (one associate only) during
the previous month using these criteria.
Accuracy
Determine Items per hour, Ftd’s Hand Keys &

Attendance &
Punctuality Cashiers only (including Courtesy Desk & Layaway)
both full time and peak time.
The store will communicate the Associate’s name to

Efficiency their District office by the 8th of each month.

Cashier Corner – 4 Star Cashier Program:
To recognise the Associate’s performance, the District Manager

will present the following to the Associate:
4-Star Recognition Certificate

4-Star Lapel Pin
One “Good Job Button”
During the District Manager’s visit to each of his / her stores, the monthly stars will be
celebrated at an Associate meeting and presented with the above items.
The Recognition Certificate is to be prepared by the District Office.

The lapel pin is to be ordered by the District Office from Customer Relations Home Office.
The former 4-Star Maroon Vest and Cashier Corner Bulletin Board name badge will no longer
be part of the program.
Associates that currently wear a maroon vest and badge should no longer be wearing them after
September 1, 2002.
Each winner’s picture will be added to a yearly calendar, which is now

posted on the wall.
This program is an excellent method of recognising strong performers.
NOTE:
The Recognition Certificate is to be photocopied at store level and
placed in the Associate’s file.

Cashier Corner – Providing Recognition:

Providing recognition must be used to recognise those Cashiers whose
performance meets or exceeds established Company standards. Use
any of the following criteria to provide recognition to your Associates.
The Cashier's average productivity over the four week tracking period
meets or exceeds the Wal-Mart productivity standard.
The Cashier's scanning percentage over the four week tracking period
meets or exceeds the Wal-Mart accuracy standard.
Based on CSM and Management observation, the Cashier must

project friendly and grateful image to our customers.
Cashier follows company policy in regards to the use of CHANT as

well as BOB & LISA.
Cashier "red lines" in accordance to company policy, exercising

Aggressive Hospitality.
The Cashier shows best improvement in any of the above

categories.
The Cashier has the best over / short record of anyone in the store.
Acknowledgement in this manner will provide the following benefits:
Ensures that top performing Cashiers are recognised and appreciated for their job performance.
Allows non-qualifying Cashiers to see the recognition, which can be gained with improved job
performance. This is an effective method to motivate non-qualifying Cashiers to improve their
performance.
Communicates and reinforces to all associates the importance of productivity and accuracy in
providing the type of service our customers deserve.

CASHIER Establishing high performance expectations and measuring each

PERFORMANCE Associate's performance against those expectations is one of the most
effective methods to improve the productivity of those you supervise.
The measurement of "Items per Hour" is used to evaluate the following

aspects of Cashier productivity:
Measure individual Cashier productivity.

Establish minimum standards, which a Cashier must meet to work at the
checkouts.
Tracking of the Cashier S.W.A.S. (Store-Within-A-Store) Program,
which helps you establish performance guidelines and helps you
recognise outstanding Cashiers.
NOTE:
Items per Hour are calculated by dividing the total number of items
scanned by the total number of hours the Cashier was signed onto the
register.

designated location.
§ Bags and cash register tape should be replenished as
necessary.
§ Straighten magazine and candy racks.
§ Always be alert to potential fire and safety hazards.

RISK MANAGEMENT &LOSS PREVENTION CCTP-501
CHECK OUT • During a power failure, the Cashier should secure the register cash
EMERGENCY drawer after they complete the current transaction, unless the
PROCEDURES Cashier is in danger. The CSM will follow-up to be sure this is
done. The Cashier must remain at the register until notified
otherwise by the CSM or a member of management.
• The above guidelines will also apply in the event of a fire, bomb
threat, or natural disaster. The Cashier should remain calm and
project this image to our customers. It is important that the
evacuation of customers be accomplished in an organised manner.
All associates should be familiar with the store’s evacuation plan.
• In the event of an armed robbery, it is critical that the Cashiers and

CSMs remember one key point: Wal-Mart wants no “heroes;”
money can be replaced - you can not. There are three main
points to remember when confronted with a hold-up:
∗ Reassure the robber(s) you will cooperate in every way.

∗ Stay as calm as possible.
∗ Spend as much time as possible making mental notes on the
person’s build, hair colour, complexion, voice, unusual
statements, accent, what they are wearing, and any other points
to aid in identification.

.

L.I.S.A. L.I.S.A. stands for Look In Side Always. When another associate
comes up to you and says, “Have you seen Lisa?” they are telling you
to look inside the item you are ringing up. Every Cashier should make it
a habit to always check containers which could be used to conceal
other merchandise, such as:
• Purses
• Thermos bottles
• Tackle boxes
• Fabric remnants
• Coolers
• Garbage cans
• Storage Boxes
• Bedding
If there is something inside, just ring it up. Never make an

accusation. It could have been an honest mistake. It is possible that
someone else might have been trying to hide the item. If it does not
belong to the customer they will tell you.

B.O.B. stands for Bottom Of Basket. When another associate comes

B.O.B. up to you and asks, “Have you seen Bob?” they are telling you to look
at the bottom of the basket.
Every Cashier should familiarise themselves with the use of the small
convex mirror at the checkout. This mirror is used to view the bottom
of the shopping cart.
When a customer has a large item with a two-part ticket, walk around
the register and remove the ticket. The Cashier should always
physically handle large items; making sure smaller items are not hidden
underneath.
Boxed items are another potential hazard. The Cashier should always
look inside a boxed item if the box is open or has been opened and
resealed to make sure the item inside matches the carton description.

SECURITY TAPE Security Tape is necessary for purchases made at outlying registers.
This coloured tape is attached to items which can not be sacked (e.g.
TV’s, VCR’s, or other large items). The tape notifies Front-end
Associates that the customer has already paid for the merchandise.
Before applying the tape to the merchandise, the Sales Associate must:
• Initial, date and copy transaction number on security tape.

• Announce over the intercom that the security tape is leaving the
department on a particular piece of merchandise.
The tape must be removed at the Front-end by the CSM, Courtesy

Desk Associate, Cashier, or Exit Greeter prior to the customer leaving
the store. The receipt must be examined to ensure the
merchandise matches the receipt and the date is current.
Outgoing Parcels! – No Security Tape

Large items checked out through the front registers will not have security tape. This is
why it is important to check the receipt for these items.
2. If there is a
1. First, you will need to problem, never
check the date and accuse the

the receipt. wrongdoing. Call
a CSM and let
them handle the
situation.

ASSOCIATE To deter the possibility of associate integrity problems, the following

INTEGRITY guidelines have been established. All associates should notify their
friends and family of this policy.
No Cashier is to handle a transaction for:
• Themselves
• Their family members
• Their friends
Never put yourself in a position where your integrity could be

questioned.
In the event of dishonesty, it is Wal-Mart’s policy to terminate

associates and to prosecute whenever possible.
REGISTER TAPE Wal-Mart uses a security register receipt tape. Under a black light, the
“Wal-Mart” logo will glow. It is important that the receipt tape is
secure at the Front-end. Do not leave extra receipt tape at any of
the registers. Extra receipt tape must be either secured at the
Courtesy Desk or the Cash Office.
EMPTY Always have the lane closed chain checkout lanes that are not being
CHECKOUT used.
LANES
• It makes it harder for customers to leave the store by going through
an empty checkout lane.

CASH PULLS Wal-Mart’s policy is to conduct frequent cash pulls (4 times per day
for stores over 50,000 square feet) to keep excess cash amounts from
accumulating in the registers. The CSM is responsible for monitoring
and limiting the amount of cash in the registers. Each Cashier is also
responsible for monitoring their cash on hand. If they notice that
excessive currency has accumulated in their register they should call for
a CSM. A member of management will make a cash pick-up (cash
pull) any time excess cash accumulates in a register.
NOTE: All voids should be completed within ten (10) minutes of the
original transaction.
Each Wal-Mart Associate has a responsibility to maintain the high

levels of integrity established early in our Company’s history. There
will be no compromise of standards. Theft is shrinkage and takes
away from our profit sharing. Never put yourself in a position where
your integrity will be questioned. In the event of dishonesty, it is Wal-
Mart’s policy to terminate the associate and to prosecute whenever
possible.
CASH CONTROL The Cash Office Associates count money and finalise reports from the
FOLLOW-UP registers daily. Cash Control follow-up Slips will be completed by the
SLIP Cash Office Associate when a register shortage or overage of $5.00 or
(PINK SLIP) more occurs and can not be resolved. Each associate on the register
with the shortage or overage will receive a Cash Control follow-up
Slip. The purpose of the slip is to make the associate aware of the
discrepancy. The slip must be completed and returned to the Cash
Office. The associate receiving the Cash Control follow-up Slip must
return the slip to the Cash Office by the end of the day they receive the
slip. These slips must then be retained in the personnel files.
“Integrity is a cornerstone of the Wal-Mart culture. All of us must have it in all

our business dealings as well as our personal lives. What we have has taken
many years to create, but it is fragile and could easily be destroyed. Let’s protect
it at all costs.”

The Sensormatic System creates a deterrent for potential

shoplifters. Shoplifters immediately notice the pedestals at your
store’s entrance and would rather go to another store than take on
the additional risk of activating a Sensormatic System.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Greeters: § Test systems daily.
• Log all tests and activations in the System Activity logbook.
• Daily: Confirm the indicator # on the system corresponds with the last # in
the activity log.
• Respond to ALL alarms and follow proper procedures.
Cashiers: • Deactivate all tags and remove all hard tags from the customer’s purchase.
• Ensure that all merchandise being placed on layaway is deactivated. If
merchandise is being returned or being placed back out onto the floor,
ensure the merchandise is re-tagged.
• Maintain the assumption that all merchandise is EAS tagged and scan
accordingly.
CSM’s: • Ensure all cashiers are trained correctly on deactivation and removal of tags.
• Ensure all cashiers are clear on how front end equipment works. I.e.: slim
pad, boot deactivator and hand detacher.
• React properly to all activations (if exit greeter is not present).
• Complete Weekly Activity Log once a week with the log from each exit
• Follow-up with cashiers who are not deactivating or removing tags from the
customer’s purchases.
• Ensure all logs are being properly completed.
Front End § Check the system daily: follow up with the greeter
Management • Use proper training: Do not assign associates to register responsibilities until
& Assistants:
they have been instructed in the proper use of the EAS system, and have
completed the EAS CBL
• Monitor operating procedures: cashier accountability, greeter maintenance of
System Activity Log, CSM involvement.
• Ensure all systems are operational, and call Field Support for any systems
issues, after checking the Troubleshooting Guide.
• Follow-up with any departments who are tagging merchandise incorrectly.
• Ensure all returned items meet tagging criteria.
• Respond to any customer service issues regarding the EAS system.
Discuss EAS topics at every weekly Cashier Meeting

CCTP-502 EAS & PEOPLE GREETER TRAINING
Label deactivation is an extremely important, yet very simple

Procedure. All labels must be deactivated at the point of sale,
eliminating the possibility of embarrassing an honest customer.
The following will explain deactivation for each deactivator available.

Find the deactivator that is installed in your store and review.
NEVER PLACE A CREDIT CARD DIRECTLY ON ANYONE
OF THE UNITS WHILE YOU ARE DEACTIVATING.
POWER PAD § To deactivate the label, simply pass the label above the dark grey
area on the pad.
( no more than six inches above the pad)
• It will confirm every deactivation with an audible/visual indicator.
• In the event you here a constant beeping, deactivate the product
again.
• This unit is multimedia safe; therefore you can deactivate video
tapes and cassette tapes with the Power Pad.
SLIM PAD § To deactivate a label, simply pass the label above the dark grey
area of the pad ( no more than five inches above the pad)
• It will confirm every deactivation with an audible/visual indicator.
PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A VIDEO TAPE OR CASSETTE
TAPE OVER THE SLIM PAD. USE YOUR BOOT
DEACTIVATOR TO DEACTIVATE EITHER ONE OF THOSE
ITEMS.
BOOT § To deactivate a label, simply place the flat surface of the

DEACTIVATOR deactivator directly on the label pressing down. You must touch
the label to ensure 100 % deactivation.
HARD TAG § The dome portion of the tag is placed through the mount of the
REMOVAL detacher.
• Squeeze the end portion of the hand detacher handle.
• To separate tack from tag, gently lift the tack while squeezing the
handle.
The hard tag is reusable. After removal, keep the hard tag and tack
separate for further use and application.

Management should be checking the Activity Log

daily to monitor failures to deactivate. If an
Associate has an abnormally high number of
failures to deactivate they may require further
training.
KEY POINTS • All adhesive labels must be within 3 inches of the item UPC to be
properly deactivated
• Labels on these products must be deactivated using the hand

detacher with boot deactivator. The boot deactivator is simply
pressed against the label - never rubbed, as this will reactivate the
label.
• The Slim-Pad makes a sound when a label is properly

deactivated. It is crucial that the cashier recognises these sounds.
• Consistencies in one area/item likely indicate an issue with that

area. The same operator with numerous FTDs may require
additional one-on-one training. A high number of FTDs coming
out of a single category may indicate an equipment problem or
group of cashiers not properly deactivating labels.
• All associates must be trained by their CSM on EAS, and take

the EAS CBL before using the register.
• EAS tagged merchandise located within 6 feet of a pedestal will

cause alarms. Merchandise or modulars may have to be altered to
accommodate the EAS system.

…Got greeter labels, and

confused where to use what?
You’re not alone!
Returns and Exchanges!
You are issued with a role of green labels in order to do your job. The labels enable you to
identify items brought into the store for a return or exchange.
1. Place a label on merchandise brought into the store to be returned or exchanged. This is how
the Courtesy Desk Associates identify return merchandise that has come in through the front
doors.
2. Place a label on each item the Customer brings into the store. If the Customer brings in a
bag, open the bag and place a label on each item to be returned - don't just place the label
on the bag.
3. Once the items have been ticketed, direct the Customer to the
Courtesy Desk.
4. Keep the labels that are not being used in a secure area. Never
leave them unattended.
5. At closing return any unused labels to the cash office. Securing

the labels is very important. If they fell into the wrong hands it
could be used to make fraudulent refunds. This will cause
shrinkage and loss of profit sharing.

Incoming Parcels & Bags! – Green

Use the following as a guideline when customers enter the store with bags or
parcels.
Green Labels
1. You will need to secure

Customers’ bags when they
want to go back into the store
after making a purchase.
2. You will also need to secure

competitor’s shopping bags
that Customers bring into the
store with them.
3. Remember that labels must be

signed by you including date
and store number. During slow
periods, get a head start by
filling out a few greeter labels in
advance of your customers’
arrival.
Remember our three basic beliefs:
Respect for the individual.

Exceeding our customer’s expectations
Striving for excellence

Outgoing Parcels! – Green Security

Tape
Security tape is the green piece of tape that is placed on paid merchandise at the
Point of Sale. It is identified with the date and the selling Associate’s initials. It is
often only used at the satellite registers, so it is of most importance to watch for
these.

Garden Centre,
Automotive and
Layaway.
3. The Greeter needs to remove security tape and check the receipt matching it to
the store date and merchandise. Once the tape has been removed, destroy it.
Note that the tape has perforated inserts that should come apart when
removed.
4. If you encounter an item that does not have security tape or is not on the
receipt, do not panic. Call for a Customer Service Manager (CSM). They
are in charge of the front end and will take care of the situation for you.
Whatever you do, never accuse the Customer of anything. Always thank the
Customer for choosing Wal-Mart.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The tape dispenser and any backup tape must be in a secure place at all times. If
security tape was to fall into the hands of a thief, it could be used to steal a lot of
merchandise.

Electronic Article Surveillance System !

In order for the Sensormatic System to be effective, it is absolutely
essential that you respond to every customer who alarms the system.
Approaching the customer who has set off the system is the most critical
part of the Sensormatic program. Your approach should never be
aggressive, and you should never accuse or threaten a customer. When
approaching a customer who has set off the system, always remember to
smile, be courteous, friendly, and as discreet as possible.
?
An important reason to approach a customer who has set off an
alarm is to correct your own errors. Often the alarm goes off due to
an Associate forgetting to deactivate a label at the point of sale.
The other reason for approaching the customer is that it reinforces

the deterrent effect. If a shop-thief knows that you will respond to
an alarm, they realise that they cannot practice their trade in your
store.
The majority of alarms that you Please remember to never discuss

will experience are due to the system and how it works in
Associate error. An Associate front of customers. If someone
has forgotten to deactivate a asks what the system does or

proof of purchase). Immediately note the occurrence
(operator number) in the System activity Log.
Once the label has been deactivated, return the merchandise to the customer and say: “Again,
I am sorry for the inconvenience – thank you for your co-operation!”
Never ask the customer to try walking through the pedestals again in order to ensure all labels

Exceed the customer’s expectations!
You will need to report these events to a Member of Management or Loss Prevention
associate.
E.A.S. Alarm Scenarios
Scenario #1: A customer is leaving the store with a visible

purchase and sets off the alarm.
Discreetly approach the customer (walk don’t run) and say, “Excuse
me, we must have forgotten to deactivate a label on your purchase. If
you come back to the register I will be happy to deactivate it for you.”
Scenario #2: A customer is leaving the store without a

visible purchase and sets off the alarm.
Discreetly approach the customer (walk don’t run) and say, “Excuse
me, we must have forgotten to deactivate a label on your purchase. If
you come back to the register I will be happy to deactivate it for you.”
Scenario #3: There is more than one customer at the door

when the alarm sounds.
If one customer is carrying a purchase and the others are not, approach
the customer with the package.
Scenario #4: There is more than one customer at the door

when the alarm sounds and none are
carrying packages or all are carrying
packages.
Do not single out one particular customer! Direct your question to

the group of customers, asking all of them to check their purchases for a
label.

Scenario #5: A customer volunteers concealed / unpaid

merchandise after an alarm sounds.
Take the merchandise and ask them if they would like to purchase the
goods. Take no further action! Note the incident in the System
Activity Log.
Scenario #6: The customer runs.
Do not pursue the customer! Note the incident in the System Activity
Log.
Scenario #7: A customer becomes agitated and / or

hostile.
It is imperative that only management deals with an agitated or hostile

customer. Immediately page your Duty Manager!

System Activity Log

The System Activity Log is used to record every alarm that occurs with the
Sensormatic System. Before the store opens for the day, the first indicator
number must be reported on the log. Each incident will cause the digital
counter on the alarm console to add one (1) to the indicator number. Every
number on the counter must be accounted for on the log. Some incidents
however will add more than one number on the console.
Example #1:
A customer sets off the alarm when leaving the store. When re-entering the store the alarm
goes off again.
Example #2:
A customer sets off the alarm and does not move away from the field of the pedestals. The
alarm will continue to sound and continue to add numbers to the console until the customer
moves away from the field.
In these situations all the numbers, which have been added to the console for each incident,
must be recorded in the System Activity Log.
The S.A.L. also monitors customers’ reactions (i.e. Was the customer pleasant, understanding,
agitated, hostile). The associate who responds to the alarm also needs to enter the appropriate
information code indicating the cause of the alarm.

REGISTER TRAINING CCTP-503
BAGGING Sacks are a major expense to our Company. Therefore, it is important

to use the sack that is just big enough for the job, but is not too big.
For each wrong-sized sack a Cashier uses, two cents is wasted. Be
careful not to sack an item with other items that could be damaged.
Following are some Do’s and Don’ts of sacking.
• DO sack like items together.

• DO sack frozen and/or refrigerated items together to keep them
cold.
• DO sack greeting cards and small items in a small separate sack.
• DO use the correct size sack.
• DO put heavy (non-breakable) items on the bottom of the sack
and lighter or breakable items on top.
• DO wrap breakable items to help protect them.
• DO check the lids on bottles to make sure they are tight, to
prevent leakage.
• DO NOT sack hazardous chemicals together, such as bleach and
ammonia.
• DO NOT sack any chemical items with food, clothing, or other
items, which could be damaged from the chemical.

PRICING AND The Price Override function should be used in the following situations:
SIGNING
ERRORS • Pricing or signing error
• Competition Ad
• Battery adjustment
• Customer satisfaction
The customer will get the lower price, either the scanned or the marked
price. Wal-Mart associates and their families (including anyone who is
eligible for a 10% discount) will receive the CORRECT price. The
Cashier must fill out the Customer Satisfaction Card (CSC).
Whenever the Cashier finds an error, they must enter one of the
following “Reason Codes” for the override. These codes will signal the
system to automatically take a markdown.
REASON CODES [1] = Pricing Error

[2] = Competition Ad (no % off ads)
[3] = Battery Adjustment
[4] = Miscellaneous
SCANNING If the scanned price of a non-price ticketed item is higher than the shelf
CREDIBILITY price, or any other displayed price, the customer is entitled to receive
PROGRAM the first item free, up to a $10 maximum. If a Code of Practice
problem cannot be resolved at the store level, please call 1-866-499-
4599 to register your complaint."
• The above Scanning Code of Practice is being adopted in all stores

across Canada starting June 11, 2002 (Quebec stores having
already implemented in the spring of 2001). This is a commitment
to accuracy that CUSTOMERS expect at ALL times.
• This practice will require intensive training at the checkouts,

thorough reviews of signing and shelf labels, as well as
management commitment and involvement.

CSM • Conduct intensive cashier training meetings to review the Scanning

RESPONSIBILITY Code of Practice.
• Log and track the names of the cashiers trained!
PROCEDURE AT When a CUSTOMER identifies that a non-ticketed item has scanned

THE at a higher price than what was indicated on the sign, flag, shelf label
CHECKOUTS: or any other displayed price, the cashier will do the following:
• Step One : Contact the CSM or a member of management to
have the displayed pricing verified.
• Step Two: Complete a CSC card and have management sign it to

authorise the markdown.
• Step Three: after receiving authorisation from a member of

management, the cashier will:
§ Price override the item to zero (if the displayed price

is $10 or less).
§ Price override the item by reducing the displayed

price by $10 (if the displayed price is greater than
$10).
§ Price override reason code to be used is 1.
NOTE: The price override applies to the first item only: any
additional quantity being purchased by the customer will be sold at the
displayed price. Additional quantities will be price-overridden to the
displayed price as normal. Management should handle exceptions
accordingly.
Management must immediately have the corrective action taken on the

displayed pricing issue!

TRACKING OF Please manually track the number of customer incidents you encounter
INCIDENTS: (weekly) as we roll out this procedure. You may be requested to
report the number of incidents to your district office.

• Give the CSM an authorisation code, which the
CSM must write on the credit card slip.
-- OR --
• Decline the purchase.

DEALING WITH There are times when CSMs and Cashiers must deal with unpleasant
CUSTOMERS situations. Successfully handling upset customers depend on positive
attitudes.
By trying to get angry customers out of the door as quickly as possible,

Wal-Mart may lose a customer for life. In addition, the average
customer will tell 9 to 10 other people about the bad experience.
Providing good customer service to an unhappy customer, and
resolving their problems effectively, will keep that customer’s business
for life.
WHAT TO DO The most important factor in resolving conflict is ATTITUDE. If the

confrontation is avoided, or not corrected, good customer service has
not been provided. Look at an unhappy customer as a challenge. This
is an opportunity to exceed the customer’s expectations. Remember
that customers are not only external but also internal.
In order to effectively handle customer conflicts:
• Smile and greet the customer enthusiastically. Smiling is very

important. It is hard to be angry with someone who is smiling.
When you ask, “May I help you?” you are inviting the customer to
explain what has happened. Remember to remain calm at all times.
• Listen to the customer’s problem. Do not interrupt them. Many
customers just want to tell you about their problem. If necessary,
take the customer to a place where they will have your undivided
attention. Ask the customer questions and find out:
∗ What happened to make them upset?
∗ How they want you to fix the problem?


WHAT TO DO • Repeat what the customer has said. This accomplishes several
(CONT’D) goals:
∗ Repetition makes sure all of the facts are correct.
∗ The customers know that their problem is understood.
∗ Knowing exactly what happened will help determine the best
way to correct the situation.
• Use the customer’s name whenever possible. Our Company’s
CHANT (Customers Have A Name Too) program encourages all
associates to call customers by name whenever possible.
• Ignore abusive language. Do not take a customer’s anger
personally. The customer may have had a bad day before entering
the store. Whatever happened may have set them off. When a
customer is abusive, think of it as a challenge to exceed their
expectations.
• Respond to the customer. Do not make the customer wait any
longer than necessary. If you or another associate have made an
error, apologise sincerely.
• If the customer is angry about a particular policy or procedure:
∗ Explain why Wal-Mart has the policy or procedure.
∗ Ask the customer if they understand why Wal-Mart has the
policy. The customer may agree that the policy is in the best
interest of the customers and the Company.
∗ If the customer does not agree, and there is no way to correct
the problem; acknowledge the problem and repeat the original
explanation. At this point there may be nothing else to do.
Call a member of management if necessary.
∗ Remember, smile and be courteous at all times.
• Talk softly whenever a customer raises their voice. A softening
voice tone can calm an angry customer.
• If the problem is something you can not correct:
∗ Call a member of management immediately.
∗ If possible, stay with the customer until management arrives.
∗ When management arrives, introduce them to the customer.
∗ Tell management what happened to make the customer upset.

BARCODES
NORMAL UPC A normal UPC (Universal Product Code) will consist of ten digits
located directly below the barcode. At times there will be an
additional digit following the barcode, this is a check digit and
should be ignored.
EXAMPLE: Normal UPC

0 1280012112 5 Should be
ignored

CCTP-504 TRAINING MATERIALS
BARCODES
SUPPRESSED A suppressed UPC is a barcode that has been reduced from the
UPC normal 10-digit barcode to a 6-digit barcode. A suppressed
barcode will always have a zero to the left of the barcode known
as the number system character. These are typically found on
Department 01 items (e.g. gum, candy bars).

BARCODES
ELEVEN DIGIT/ This type of barcode is very similar to a normal UPC, except it
CHECK DIGIT will always have a digit to the left of the barcode known as a
BARCODE number system character. If this digit is a “3,” “4,” or “7,” key it
in as part of the barcode. If the number system character is
anything other than a “3,” “4,” or “7,” it should be ignored and the
barcode treated as a normal UPC. Often the Eleven Digit/Check
Digit Barcode will also have a check digit. As with the normal
UPC barcode, this check digit should be ignored.

TWELVE DIGIT On a few items, mostly bedding, there is a barcode with twelve
BARCODE digits instead of the normal ten. The middle ten digits are what
Wal-Mart uses. When hand scanning, drop the first and last
digits.
012800121125
EXAMPLE: Twelve Digit Barcode
VISUAL VERIFY The guidelines that apply to look-up numbers also apply to visual
verify numbers. Visual verify numbers are used for items that are
not scannable and have multiple price points. Visual verify
numbers do not have a specific price, therefore the Cashier must
key in the price. The authorised codes are:
· Prescriptions, Pharmacy 38
· Licenses (Fishing, Hunting) 902
· Processed Film The barcode on the package
will activate a prompt for
visual verify.

BARCODES
FABRIC When the customer brings cut fabric to the checkouts, it will have
TICKETS a scannable fabric ticket attached. The fabric ticket contains
barcodes that indicate the product and its length. When the
Cashier scans both barcodes, the register will calculate the price
and print the price per yard, amount purchased, and the extended
price on the receipt. The Cashier must destroy the fabric tickets at
the time of purchase for proper control.

FABRIC TICKET
EXAMPLE: Fabric Ticket
RINGING SALE Customer will present two fabric sales slips with his/her purchases
at the checkout registers (one copy is kept by the cashier, and the
second copy goes with the customer's purchase).
The cashier must compare each merchandise item with the entries
on the sales slip (customer could easily switch fabric pieces after
sales slip is written up).
Questionable items or entries should require a price check by the
sales associate or Department Manager in Fabrics. Ring each
individual item by total amount. Proceed with sale per standard
procedure. Fabric sales slip is to be cancelled by use of felt pen,
making an "X" on the face of slip to prevent ticket from being
reused. Ticket is to remain attached to purchase as proof of sale
should customer have need in returning.

CSC CARD
There are three reasons why the marked price and the scanned price could differ:
· Pricing or signing errors
· Competition Ad
· Not-on-file items
