This is something I constantly fight at my store... With the "new" emphasis on the fill to need schedule, we're directed to fill the weekends- meaning everyone works on Saturday and Sunday. I've even been instructed to deny availability changes for pricing who only work m-f... "Don't want to...

No, as silly as it sounds, DVDs do NOT count as attachments for a DVD player. Blu-rays for a Blu-Ray player count, but no DVDs. Why? Who knows...

A DTL is basically responsible for everything your STL is responsible for but for the entire district. VIBE, AAR, Conversion, Payroll, etc but on a district level. They are leading their team (STL direct reports) to drive sales. They are also active with their peers in the group driving...

Any clearance ticketed outside of the day that dept is scheduled to go does count as rework. So in your scenario, if you scan it in pricing on rf apps and it shows a clearance price but doesn't double beep and automatically print then it's going to be a rework. But! While rework is brutal...

Can we just put this to bed about the etl's getting "bonuses for all sorts of things"?? This just plain isn't true. Here's how payroll works. HQ allocates payroll for each store every Sunday/Monday. The STL (or in some stores a single ETL who is designated the "payroll captain") goes in...

In this instance, the one about cutting hours this week, it's because your store overspent payroll in the earlier 4 weeks of December. Now, in December w5 they are in a cut and grab scenario doing everything they can to make the month (one of the Stl's main responsibilities is making payroll...

That's in the bucket of stealing from a guest (even though they left it) and falls under HR policy and an immediate terming.

You are able to get your 5% Red Card discount, but not you TM discount on a price match.

I've seen more than one FA TM get termed for stealing popcorn. And no, it doesn't need to be a pattern of activity. One popcorn, one pizza, one breadstick. That's stealing from the company and AP will handle it. Odds are they've already seen it and are in the process of moving forward. The...

Correct. The TM just changes workcenters on the floor, nothing needs to be done at the timeclock. It's all allocated in maxx. The only thing I would say the tm is responsible for is actually leaving workcenter #1 at the scheduled time to start at workcenter #2. This is the frustrating thing on...

I walked a visit with the Red Card team from corporate and they said the tests for the checkless sign up wasn't what they expected. Too much follow up to actually get the application finished and not enough follow through from the guest. Ie- they were using it as a one time 5% discount and not...

Yep, everyone before this is right. It's just to make sure we have 100% participation. It's the TM's chance to have a solidified voice, good or bad about their store, and their management both store wide and district wide.

I don't match other Target stores clearance. I DO match t.com for clearance (Vibe) I do match t.com on regular price items. (Best practice) I don't match other Targets on regular priced items unless they're not a dbag and then I'll vibe it.

Stores in most every market will be testing iPhones for PDAs and iPads for LODs later this year with an intended rollout of whole company in 2014 or '15. Has your store started to really lock down the PDAs and walkers lately? That means your STL wants to be one of the tester stores... Each...

Is she cross trained in other areas of the store? Surely there are cashier shifts she can pick up. A lot of hours are usually to be had on the check lanes but no one wants them because its "boring". My thought is, hours are down throughout the company, bills at home aren't being cut to match...
