I work in what is considered a low volume Target store. I closed tonight and was handed the store from an ETL who informed me nothing in the store was zoned during the day. Lucikly, by the time I handed off the pulls were somewhat under control. We did the typical hand off walk, informing me...

I guess she always went behind the half wall in guest services which pretty much hides you are from eye sight. All we have in the area are shelves and a large red equipment cabinet along with the key box and mydevices for registries. Unless the covert camera is somewhere in the ceiling tile...

no ETL AP at our store.. just AP TL.

Guess I am just surprised with inventory checks that she wasn't caught sooner! My jaw dropped when AP said if there isn't a black dome, no camera or visibility is present. Figured they would have hidden cameras or something, but I guess not.

A girl at our store was busted red handed stuffing her pockets at the end of her shift. Our store is one of an old school setup with Guest Services immediately to the right as you walk in the door. You have to walk in another set of sliding glass doors to access it. Anyway, we keep carts...

Our ETL-Logistics tends to "disappear" from time to time, but I am not exactly sure where he goes. Our ETL Logistics & GE/SF don't have computers in their office so I am not sure where ETL-Logistics spends his time. He rarely responds when he is walkied, but is the first to point the finger at...

I just came off of working 5 straight LOD shifts, all closing. Is this a normal routine for a SR TL or ETL to work 5 straight LOD shifts? I am guessing they just gave me all the shifts because I am new and probably figured I wouldn't have the grounds to ask why since I am fresh on the Spot scene.

i had never worked a day of retail in my life until i accepted a senior team lead position 2 months ago. i have been in management in a local non-profit agency for the past 6-7 years. i got to skip over the bench process to the dismay and wonderment of many others in my store who wanted the...

Thanks for the quick responses. The link provided was very helpful!

hello - I am new to target and retail in general and I came into a store, as a senior team lead, where the electronics department is consistently listed as a bottom 3 department due to low sales which makes AAR a challenge. I should also note that the team morale across the store is very low...
