Yes, Aldi as well. Automatic price change 😱.

Yes. Two stores in my district are testing out the new "points" system for attendance. Starting today, call-offs, late-ins, and early-outs, accumulate points that lead to automatic coaching, write-up, and termination. The one thing I keep hearing is "it's out of the leader's hands" meaning if...

Can to share the application? That sounds incredible!

I always thought that since they come frozen, it needs to have a date on it to track thawing time, but some of my team members say no because it already has a use/freeze by date on it. I feel those dates are too far out for the thawing, but what do I really know? 🤷🏾‍♀️ What do you guys do with...

Many years ago, 5-8 years, I don't know, we started to carry Krispy Kreme, but they didn't renew the contract with us for whatever reason. Hence, we then carried Stans Donuts, but that didn't last because we started with a holiday batch of one flavor, peppermint bark, 3 whole pallets worth. All...

I believe only ETLs have access to that since they're on a salary. Don't try to access your work email outside work hours, trust me a red flag will go off and you can get fired.

That's pretty expensive but a great idea. How about Augmented reality though (AR). Target already uses it in their app to see how certain furniture looks inside your home using the camera. Why not augment how the planogram is suppose to look?

Talk to a therapist my friend. Target insurance offers free therapy sessions. It's a god send. People on here are not therapist or professionals to help you with your feelings so it's not the best place to find the help your looking for. I talk to a therapist once a month, used to be once every...

Why do you guys even bother? That's definitely a teenager who doesn't understand taxes and didn't even try to compare checks. Just a bunch of conspiracy theories. My god that was hard to read.

I was wondering this myself. Mine was $302 to be exact. My boss told me they asked him to nominate 6 people and I was the only one on my side of the store of the 6 to get it. So I believe it is two team members. I'm not sure who picks the nominations.

My store went to $17.75 starting and $20 for overnight in Chicago. I got about a 60 cent raise because I was over the starting pay already, after a 70 cent raise from my review back in May. On top of that I got the team member performance reward ($300) 💪🏾

I think this thread needs to be closed at this point lol.

All stores are not the same so this can be tricky. However as far as I know if you use sick hours it shouldn't count against you but that may depend on the state you live in. A workday write-up without a face-to-face conversation is so CHEAP and unacceptable. Many years ago I had a TL who...

90% has always been our store's goal. Usually, by the time we clock out by 4:30, we hit our numbers. 80% is the least acceptable number.

Very recently we were told to stop pretty much destroying unless it's a perishable item that's been sitting out of temp, and let the donation people decide if they want to take it or destroy it themselves. We've been getting hella more credit this way and they are off our butt about it. Even if...
