AP positions are typically filled by outside hires because that way they aren't biased against fellow team members. They need to be objective to internal theft etc. That's the theory at least.

Yeah that's what we've been doing. Our ETL HR says we'll only have to move over the people that we extend offers to, but thats still going to be like 45 folders.

So I've got a problem and need some help... I cannot find for the life of me the proper order number for the grey interview folders. The number on the folder itself brings no results. I've searched in SAP for any words that sound like it will be helpful, but of course that didn't work...

If anyone else is having this problem at their store, be aware that as seasonal hiring happening the background checks are taking FOREVER to clear.

Word is that all of the stores closing in Michigan are attached to malls.

In Store Music needs to stay the hell away from my store. I like the quiet (when there aren't screaming children or phones dinging).

Am I the only person seeing these get stolen by guests out of unattended reshop carts because they think they're regular iPods/iPhones? And there's a way to track where they are like iPhones, right? LOD: "Hey Market TM what is your location?" MTM: "The backroom." LOD: "Really? Cause my new...

Our store usually tries cuts hours on a volunteer basis. If someone drops a shift, HR might just remove it from the schedule before someone else picks it up, or we get an announcement from the LOD on the walkie: "Team, we have about two hours left for the night and need to cut some payroll...

Speedweaving is also only possible when the store doesn't treat you like an additional cashier. It's expected in my store that the GSA/GSTL is the first responder to backup when not assisting a guest some other way.

I encourage my team to do this. I might be with a guest or otherwise occupied and it helps get my attention to shout out for X number of people when I'm able. Most of the cashiers don't have walkies anyway, so it's not like they can call anyhow.

I press that button if it even remotely looks like we need help. Then I call for backup by walkie immediately after to be more specific (like how many people, and if I need help at IGS). And I cancel the call when necessary. I don't want to make people come up for nothing.

I don't complain about a lot of things pertaining to scheduling, but lack of coverage at the front is the biggest pain in the ass. I know the sales floor is tired of responding to code, and trust me I'm tired of calling for it. I have complained to absolutely every ETL, SrTL, TL, and HRTM that...

Yes you would. They might not catch you the first time but they would eventually. We had a big to-do about letting non-dependants use your discount card a few months back.

I'm at a ULV store and other than 4th quarter we never have a cart attendant. The ETLs don't love having the GSA away from the front, but sometimes I'm the only one that is physically able to get carts. I don't love it. Carts is probably my least favorite part of working the front end.

I am very introverted by nature as well but being in the GSA role has helped me speak up more (at work anyway). The position kind of forces it on you in regards to getting results for the guests. If I call the sales floor in my nice voice and don't get an answer within 30 seconds I ask again a...
