Target pulls plug on self checkouts

Join the club. I work at a grocery store that often has one main line cashier and one cashier watching SCO even during the busy time of the day/week. If they need an additional cashier they have to page for the SD, ASD, or PIC (LOD) to come up and help as there is no one else to call. I am...

I can see flexing when a department is getting ready to reset or certain seasonal areas, but not every day. I think it is more work than it is worth. Back in the day when I worked for Spot that is how we did it. Did however have an STL that decided he wanted little to no backstock for toys...

Fair and rodeo week

Not OPU, but rather SFS. KY Jell and Hellman's Mayo. I guess Hellman's is not available west of the Rockies (only Best Foods). I am in the middle of the Rockies, so both are available here.

I was sent out of town with our ETL-HR to sit through a morning-long lecture on food safety and in the afternoon we were given a test. You were notified a few months if you passed or not. If so good, if not you were sent back to do it over at your store's expense.

A saw few times while still working for Spot.
