TTOG: If you're looking for a certain kind of soap, just ask if we carry it. Instead of generically asking if we have bar soap other than Dove, and I point out the Ivory, the Dial, and the Olay, and then you say "but what about Zest?" Why not just ask about Zest in the first place? Minor...

Sort of wish I could somehow be on LOA for a few months during all this new transition stuff because my store is going through a remodel this spring. It was pretty miserable the last time - so much noise and some departments got put in temporary spaces so no one knew where anything was. Add to...

Is it possible for an ETL to get a bunch of rolls of pennies from a local bank? Not sure if they have a supply anymore either.

So is it safe for me to assume that your store sets POGs as soon as they drop into the work load? We've done that consistently up until recent months after a new SD arrived and said POGs weren't to be set until the week they're due. Leaving aside how bonkers that is, this new process would make...

There used to be a Krispy Kreme store a couple miles from my house, and it was pretty fun to go and watch the donuts come off the line. They are so good! (Which means they're probably really, really unhealthy, right?) I assume the store closed after a couple years or so because it didn't...

DCs are seriously that desperate for new TMs that they're handing out signing bonuses? Wow.

What is it with Target having a process, getting rid of it, and then bringing it back? Can't think of what else has been like this, but it seems like this isn't the first time in my years with Target that this is happening.

Sometimes, not even this at my store. Called off hours aren't used - maybe they're banked for later in the month? Don't know what happens to the hours, just that we struggle to stay above water with getting truck pushed and back stocked.

Anyone else noticing that labels for end caps are printing out of order? Set a few yesterday and labels were in wacky order. They started out not in order, then they went along like they should, and then there'd be a couple near the end that shouldn't have been there. Seems like this happened a...

We have a truck tomorrow (Tuesday) which isn't usually a truck day. Figured it was going to work out this way. Mean an 8-day stretch for me, but it'll be a fatter check and I won't complain about that.

The silica packs with little beads are the worst if they come open. The beads go all over everywhere. And I learned the hard way that picking up and carrying a partially destroyed packet to a trash bin is not a good idea if your hands are sweaty and the packet is sort of shredded and leaking...

Trucks for the whole district were cancelled for Saturday to allow time to catch up on back stock and OPU. We're behind on trucks because of various problems, but probably the DC needed an opportunity to catch up too. Everything seemed pretty normal on the zebra Saturday, for sure today...

Long time ago, I sorted the hard lines repacks. (Think they included Pets, Kitchen, Seasonal, Domestics, Toys, and Sporting Goods. Soft Lines - now called Style - Electronics, and HBA were in different ones.) My "sorting station" moved a couple times, but my process stayed the same: sort like...

Hmm, sounds like so much not fun. I like doing POGs but such massive changes ... yikes.

This paragraph tells me that leadership at your store is failing. Not sure walking out was the best idea, but sometimes it does take a drastic action to force some needed change. Their lack of apology and accountability when they failed to respond to walkie calls is what's unacceptable, to my...
