Speaking from an AP standpoint... A lot of times, the potential bad press from asking the homeless to leave (or kicking them out) is about as bad as the potential of having the homeless damage the store's brand by allowing them to remain. It's a kinda "damned if you do, damned if you don't"...

Holiday pay? *quiet laughter, as from afar*

Huh, weird.

Brand Attendant. I have immense respect for them. There's no way I could clean baby vomit, dog shit, and random spills all day. Aside from the half-a-million other things they do.

Well I guess I'm out of consideration for leadership.

I've never heard this term and I've been in Target AP for quite a while. There's no actual position titled "Security Expert." Correct me if I'm wrong. Is this a regional thing? Or did they perhaps say it was Target Protection Specialist, the basic uniformed position in AP? For what it's...

Not likely. I don't know about other districts, but I have my APBP's number. If I had problems with my ETL, I'd call my APBP directly; I wouldn't waste my time with the hotline. Pretty hard to report things anonymously with how small a lot of AP teams are. Every TPS on my team has met my APBP in...

Ahhh yeah that makes more sense. Yeah, I know AP payroll is separate from salesfloor, and recent changes in AP have made it so that technically we kinda don't even directly answer to our STLs anymore, but to our APBPs... or maybe that's just my group. But we still sorta need to follow STL...

For what it's worth... It's very unlikely (virtually impossible) to get APTL directly from a salesfloor position. APTL's are promoted from within AP ranks, and every district will have a lineup of APSs and maybe high-performing TPSs already working hard to get APTL. There's just too much to...

Pretty much this. If it's small, on your keychain, or a multi-tool, it's probably okay. If it's a folding knife or larger blade, maybe leave it at home. For what it's worth; if I don't have a knife, I use keys on my keyring to cut boxes open.

ETL-Lunch That one ETL that goes around asking every other ETL and/or TL what they want for lunch, then either orders it or drives off to get it and bring it back. Then they take everyone to the conference room to eat.

Give it a "back to school" theme, put graduation caps (cut out of colored paper) on everyone's picture, etc.

Truest statement 10/10 honesty

This this this. If your APS/APTL/ETL-AP isn't there and you're the only TPS in the building, definitely make sure you have solid partnerships with the salesfloor team. Don't be afraid to call GSTL on the radio and take them to channel 3, then ask them to do a BOB/LISA check on someone at...

We had a random crowd of people in the morning last week for the new wave of FunkoPops or whatever. I had no idea new ones were even coming out or would be popular. So much for a crowd management plan and having coverage in the morning. I guess nobody else had been warned, so they were still...
