If they scheduled you outside of your availability you need to tell them asap that you can not come in for that and are uncomfortable being scheduled as a bagger.
If they force you to be a bagger just do a horrible job.

As of late my store has been very short on baggers, and when we do have them our supervisors have them do go backs and carts so cashiers basically bag each order and lines get longer. Because apparently it either it's taking a while to hire baggers or management just doesn't want to, cashiers are starting to be scheduled as baggers for certain shifts. This has happened to myself for next week during hours that are outside of my availability. I am also not trained as a bagger (I can bag obviously, but I have never cleaned bathrooms or done carts before because I was hired on as a cashier and have always been a cashier). I'm unsure of how to approach my supervisor and question why he did this and if the situation can be remedied. It seems ridiculous to have me scheduled as a bagger when I need someone to show me how to do more than half of the stuff required of them and I seriously cannot work outside of my availability so I'm at a loss for how to go about this, not to mention frustrated and angry.
If you were hired as a cashier you CANNOT be scheduled as a courtesy clerk / utility clerk under most union contracts. They are different classifications and different pay rates. Check your contract. Also if it's out of your approved availability, tell them ASAP.
I have the same problem in produce, I'm not scheduled in the floral department, but we have to help customers in floral when the floral lady is not in. All I had for training was balloons.
but as a produce person what else do you need to know? how to wrap flowers? balloons? any serious arrangements are only done by those dept people in my store.
