I think when working in a team setting, everyone needs to be willing to help out wherever and whenever needed, especially when its crunch time. I have certainly helped out my peers and taken on additional responsibilities that are not necessarily part of my everyday routines. I think being able to help out not only helps you build great relationships with your team, but also shows your supervisors that you are a team player. Unfortunatley, there are times when you are helping out others and then unable to finish your own job and check everything off the to-do list. I think as long as you are doing what is best for the total store, then you are making the right decision.

Not in my jurisdiction!
Recently at work, as we get busier and busier, we are asking our team members to complete certain tasks. With a few employees, there has been some pushback, claiming that "that's not part of their job." Granted, they may not have always performed these certain tasks, but guess what - it's the fourth quarter and we are busy, so everyone needs to help out everywhere!

I agree with you. It seems to lend itself towards a general work ethic. Don't you find that those who say it's not their job are a little lazier than others? I feel as you do that the good of the company is the goal and we all pitch in and help out especially during crunch time. A division of my job is retail oriented and this time of year is hectic for us too. We all have to step up our game now.
