    Actually smart one, have you heard of keeping the Sabbath day holy?

    Archived Denying Availability Change?

    Can one's ETL deny their request for having Sundays off even if it's due to religious reasons? This happened to someone I know recently and it doesn't seem right but I could be mistaken. I told this person to explain their reasoning to the ETL and that they specifically asked for that day...

    Archived What's the most instant subs YOU have ever created?

    Wow I would love it if my store was as proactive as yours with outs and rainchecks. Nope, our ad team doesn't do any, they barely get their signs up in time. Instocks are the only people who are involved with writing the rainchecks.

    Archived What's the most instant subs YOU have ever created?

    I'm on the instocks team and on Sunday we had 94 instant subs. Now thats the most our team has ever had since I've been on instocks (2 years). Just curious, what's the most your team has made in a single day?

    Archived How does YOUR store complete instocks?

    Yes we do that also but it's a constant struggle do get it done every day. It's pretty much impossible to scan accurately without cutting corners and/or skipping some things sometimes.

    Archived How does YOUR store complete instocks?

    So ever since it started I have strongly disliked this new instocks process (researching every aisle of every department of the store every day). It's not even so much the process I dislike, just the fact that my ETL doesn't feel the need to give us the proper help to do the daily tasks. The new...

    Archived Target family and friends together??

    Well at my store an AP team member and a Softlines team member have been dating for quite awhile now; they even recently had a child together. They are very open about their relationship and don't try to hide it from anyone. Except I've always been told that AP isn't supposed to be involved with...

    I'm Lost! The Call In/Sick/Late/NCNS/Attendance Thread

    FYI: Target has a "no harassment policy" when it comes to TM's calling in. The LOD is in no way supposed to make you feel guilty or as if there will be consequences for calling in. Frankly, you are not even required to give them a reason as long as you inform them you will not be there for your...

    Archived InStocks help

    As far as Outs, Research, and RIGs go, all you really need to know is: -Outs: Scan only the new, non-dotted out-of-stock merchandise, then put a dot on it. -Research: Scan all non-dotted AND dotted out-of-stock merchandise and update the counts accordingly. And always update a negative...

    Archived Another money question.

    Okay so here's the "hypothetical" situation: California minimum wage is $8/hr. A team member is now making $9.15/hr and decides to leave Target to pursue other options. He/she has good relationships with all of the ETLs, puts in his/hers 2-week notice, and quits Target leaving there in good...

    Archived Can they do this? Help..

    Thanks everyone. I mean yeah I knew they can do this, they can do whatever they want. It just seems unfair for the people that get there on time but are "late" due to the fact the LOD not opening the door on time. Hopefully they will take situations like mine into consideration and make an...

    Archived Can they do this? Help..

    So last week during a huddle a Sr. TL at my store informed us that the new "rule" is that if a team member submits 3 or more punch corrections per month it will result in a coaching. This is especially unfair due to the fact that myself, along with many others, start our shifts before the store...

    Archived Instocks TMs

    Sorry everyone i haven't been able to log on for a couple days. I'm the Instocks Team Trainer at my store and I posted this curious as to what the other test stores' processes are and how successful/unsuccessful they are? My store is doing the "Stand Alone Research" process and it is kind of a...
