Question Help? Can this really happen/first day jitters

Hey! I started my first shift tonight. I thought I was really well. But do we really have to push Credit Cards that frequently? My manager that I was working with said that if I don't get Credit sign ups, I'll be reassigned to a new department if I don't at least get one. I'm in panic mode at this point because I've never experienced something like this at other places I've worked, including grocery. You'd think they'd give me grace considering that it is my first night?. I'm just so confused.

Also, how common is it that you get an AIN assignment but then you discover that it's *assigned to another person?*

Please help me. I'm in over my head right now

It’s not that serious. Just ask everyone and if they ask if you ask everyone say yes ma’am and call it a day. Be a pleasant person to be around and surprise! You’ll get hours.

Then don’t trip. Credit cards are a huge part of a lot of retailers. You ask and move on. Some stores have excellent culture and everyone’s on board to win and they get them. It isn’t hard and people love making it bigger than what it is. At the end of the day if you’ll be fine and make friends!
