I cringe whenever I hear buzzwords like "Vibe" or when adjectives such as "amazing" are used as nouns. However, I like the concept of taking care of the guests. It seems that's something we've drifted away from in the past fifteen years I've been with the company. We just hit the reset back...

This was interesting to me. I've known some team members who were coded as non-rehirable who managed to get back on at Target anyway. Maybe this was why.

Lots of vibing going on in here. Target would be proud of you.

Our store runs two team members on Instocks every day and tries to have three on Mondays and Thursdays (our all-scan day). We average about 6000 scans a week with a year-to-date green-only Research w/ Loc %.

You're probably right about that. LOL.

FFF = Feed Flow First

I wear Rockports with custom inserts. Take care of your feet.

I've worked for other companies and I like Target above all of them. But, you're right: the Game is the Game. If you're not playing, you're losing. I've noticed a trend lately (at least in my district) of college graduates being hired into SrTL positions. Not even ETLs.

I agree with this more than I want to. I know I followed a Logistics ETL in a store once who was promoted to STL, and I had to clean up her mess. Last I heard she was a DTL. And being salaried does have its drawbacks, as you stated. An advantage you didn't mention, however, is that I always...

Did you think I was bragging? ETL-Logistics is pretty low in the food chain. I'm the underpaid assistant manager in charge of unloading trucks and listening to the rest of the store blame everything on the Flow Team.

That's the way it's supposed to work. Be thankful you're not in a store where it's acceptable behavior to leave cabinets unlocked or to block open doors to the equipment room.

You should follow your own advice. I am over In Stocks at my store as well, and I know your job quite well. Your job is one of the positions I'm arguing for PDA control about.

You have made an excellent point here.

You're the one who started with the insults, Missy. Personally, I don't define myself by my job and I'm old enough to be unconcerned with what Mama thinks. No one hates the title "executive" more than I do. But I appreciate your giving me permission to have an opinion.

In 99% of the cases, I could find where anything is supposed to go in the store and put it in the right location. Read your labels. UPCs, style numbers -- all there for a reason. You're obviously pro-PDA for everyone, which is okay if you're not having a problem with equipment control. But...
