This is for all of you who work front end. You're amazing and I don't know how you stand it. I could never be a cashier (lol, sorry I mean SERVICE AND ENGAGEMENT ADVOCATE). Besides the fact that I get insane anxiety at the lanes, holy shit I wouldn't be able to stand doing the same thing over...

This happened to us once. An ETL had to go to a different store to take bags from them. How the hell does a store run out of freaking BAGS? My aunt is a GSTL at my store and she said the other GSTL way under-ordered even though she told him it wasn't enough. He didn't last long.

Bless their souls. I would rather set myself on fire than push accessory freight. My least favorite in all of SL.

Ohh gotcha. I like how you have a nice understanding of SL. One of our hardlines TLs (oh sorry, I mean GMTL) just become the closing LOD and he is trying to understand all he can about softlines so he can help when needed but it'll probably take a while. Our SL is divided up by 5 zones. 1 -...

My thoughts exactly. I'm going to bring it up with my ETL because it's giving me anxiety just seeing all that isn't getting done lol

In addition to my rant, I don't think DBOs should be expected to finish all freight/stray. Their main concern should be having the department set, filled, backstocked, price change, ect and THEN work freight/stray if they have time. If not there should always be somebody who can do the extra...

This is basically just a long rant. Btw, if you don't know what a DBO (Dedicated Business Owner) is yet it's a person who generally works full time and owns a specific department or area. You do everything for it including the freight, stray, VMG, price change, pulls, backstock, ect. I work in...

That is a very good point. This would be the second TL that my ETL has more or less pushed out the door since I started. First one they forced out was definetly cruel and unfair of them but then this TL honestly isn't doing great. I watched them stare at freight for a set for 2 hours before...

So recently work has been treating me really well. I got a DEO and a nice raise on my review. I got the whole employee of the month thing quite recently. I'm now always being offered tons of hours unlike a lot of people. My store never treated me badly, but how well they treat me has increased a...

Hahaha love that. But yeah, that is true. I almost feel bad about complaining when I think about everyone else's hours. It just sucks when I think about the raise I'm about to get means nothing to me with the hours I'm getting. But yeah. Might have to start looking elsewhere.

(Edit)

Hi all! I've read that at some point this year, if you are just a regular TM, to not expect more than 30 hours. Can someone confirm they've heard this? I have also heard that the turnover rate is going to be insane. I've bugged my TLs about this and they swear up and down that it isn't true (I...
