I once ordered 20 to donate to a friend's charity; they use them to sort kids' clothes by size.

I'm talking about the annual review in spring. I had my mid-year one last week. I asked another TL and she said regular TMs don't have to sign off on the annual ones anymore, so TLs can get away with not doing them. That's fine by me.

I never had an actual sit-down review this year. According to my pay stubs I got a raise, but no review. I'm not complaining because I hate them so I'm actually relieved, but a TL I talked to said everyone is supposed to have an in-person conversation and sign off on it. She was confused how my...

Ours is outside the restroom, directly in front of the condoms, lubes, etc. Pharmacy asked a few years ago if we could switch that section with the foot care section next to it (which is closest to the restroom door); of course that didn't happen. So now they just try to arrange chairs so...

Nope, an engineer would have come up with this in two weeks. Signed, Spouse for 31 years of mechanical engineer. (See profile pic.)

Don't you just take whatever batch is due first, no matter what it is? I mean, I hate bulky but if it's closest to goal time I'm going to take it.

Is there any benefit to pausing OPU carts? Does it improve your metrics? We have a couple of TMs who are constantly pausing their carts, even when they're just walking from one location to another, and I can't figure out why.

Us too. With the old way, I can't count how many times I finished a batch with less than 30 seconds to spare. The 10 seconds it takes to switch to a different app makes a difference. Having bags sitting in my cart when they could already be in a hold location makes a difference. Having separate...

I thought you must have been from Wisconsin. They call them bubblers too.

I once had a bikini top as a ship alone. I mean, I guess some sizes could ship alone but I don't think Spot sells them.

Do you just leave it there? I try to go through our coolers/freezers at least once a week (unauthorized, because wE dOn'T hAvE tImE fOr ThAt). Those wacos are prime real estate and I'm not giving them over to moldy strawberries and expired milk.

Thanks, I know how addiction works. You know they're not giving out samples of actual alcohol in people's orders, right?

Okay, I get what you're saying. I guess I just don't see it as any different from the tons of alcohol ads on TV, radio, newspapers, online, etc. TBH I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people don't even look at the stuff stores throw in the bags, other than to take out the free samples. I...

Is your store giving out alcohol samples? Ours isn't, just paperwork that people will throw away and the cheap wine bag. And I'm pretty sure a family would have no grounds to sue unless you held a gun to the the alcoholic's head, forced them to drink it, and then forced them to continue...

One is a cart (parent), one is a subcart (child). You don't need a cart, the subcart works as both.
