Speaking as someone who *ahem* found their "spark", life has gotten a lot better for me. Best of luck!

Don't make a huge deal of the fact that you're leaving and where you're going to and it shouldn't matter.

Call anonymously and don't bring it up at work that you made the call. If you can document the problems without getting noticed, do that as well. If your store's anything like mine, somebody will notice the fire department coming in and hurry to unfuck the exits just enough to avoid action.

Isn't it on MySupport? Or you can just load one anyways. I had to all the time and if the DC had a problem with it, nobody told me.

Yeah, the supervisors and managers I know all worked their way up from TM-level. I've had a couple of my bosses ask me if I've thought about developing for leadership despite only being here a few months and being very open about being more comfortable dealing with processes than people. Its...

Back in February I left Target and started at Walmart for various reasons. Went from working flow and receiving to CAP-2, which is basically flow team except we only unload the trucks then stock consumables. Working for Walmart is shit, and it isn't. I'm getting paid less per hour but I'm...

With DVDs, you want to look for anything that says "Mill Creek" or SBT and something about holding for rep. You don't need to check those in, just put wherever those go for the rep to pick up and take care of. It's been a while since I checked, but Workbench had a serviceable guide on checking...

I would have killed to have known this was an option this when I still was receiving. The ink pads I got were always "way way too much ink" right into "is this thing dead?" with no middle ground that lasted longer than a week or two.

To the vendors: I know I said I'd let you know when was leaving, but it didn't end up that way. Sorry. Then again, I was pretty clear that I was on my way out sooner or later and the whole "taking a week off to look for a job" should have been enough warning I guess. Still, I'm pretty sad that I...

To tomorrow's LOD: Good luck and have fun! The notes I left should help a little bit. Thank whoever decided to save payroll by not scheduling any receiving hours on a Friday. To my coverage while my vacation officially starts: Please don't screw this up. I've left you notes that should cover...

TTOTM: How do you not know how to use a tape gun? Why do you need me, the guy who doesn't use a tape gun (because people keep stealing it) to show you how to use this simple tool? To whoever wrote this and next week's schedule: What the fuck are you doing to receiving. I'm afraid to see what...

I think occasionally we'll carry a KJV study bible or something like that.

The Chosen People MIRs were a month or so ago and everything should have gone back to CRC or whatever. Maybe this is just your store? Why did my vacation have to be next week instead of this week. Why.

Not going to lie, I am living in fear of coming into work and finding out I have an MIR for ~all the Pods~.

You don't have FedEx making regular deliveries? We get our Starbucks signs and some DVDs through FedEx Ground along with some STS, among other random stuff. Even if they don't have mail for us they stop to see if I have anything outgoing. I only use UPS to send out the CO's coupons and the...
