We hold phones and keys up at GS in a locked box separate from regular lost and found. But people are surprisingly good about noticing lost phones or keys. The hard part is finding a phone on the floor before someone else swipes it which is sadly common. For things like lost purses, especially...
To my fellow tm's saying goodbye to me the past couple days: stop making me actually sad to leave your store. Stop it. I don't do touchy feely and you're making my Grinch heart grow.
My store was open until midnight last year and I got the closing shift because I made it clear I wasn't a Christmas person and it was actually really restful for those who don't have families to get home to--people have definitely given up hope of getting anything decent as gifts so you can...
TTOTM: Yeah dude, you'll be sad when I'm gone. You'll have to do all your own work and it'll be MUCH more obvious when you fudge your breaks because I'm the best at covering the floor all alone.
Sucks to be yoooooou.
Ohh, I really like this idea. You could even make the displays really fancy and have a platform at shin or waist height--that'd keep everything off the floor and tied down but still easily seen and accessible so the guests could touchy-touchy to their heart's content. I'd put a call box on...
Thankfully my store has resisted the 730 unload process--mostly because they'd have to fire half their flow team cause they're not guest-friendly in any sense of the word. They push like nothing else but they're not there to be friendly, which is totally ok. But we have big trucks (for our store...
TTOTM: I am literally counting down the days until I no longer have to work with you. What in the world are you going to do when I'm gone and I'm not doing your workload?
TTO(other)TM: Dude, you are a rockstar and you deserve that promotion. Just ignore the blank, angry stare you'll get the...
I've had vendors complain to me about Target's push policy since evidently everywhere else they stock it's either pull (so you're the one the guest is running into) or "whatever works best". I keep telling them to complain to people who can actually make a difference in the policy but noooo...
So the store I wanted to transfer to wouldn't call my HR back. I know my HR actually contacted them because my HR <3s me long time and so...I'm moving without a guaranteed job! Due to timing constraints I had to turn in my 2ish weeks and I'll be applying as an outside hire to the store in the...
TTOETL: Screw you. I did an amazing job on ad set. "We aren't done" yeah maybe if you gave me the actual amount of people I need instead of having me do 4 1/2 sections by myself we'd actually finish in time. Even when TLs are on they usually stay 4 1/2 more hours and they don't finish in that...
To all the guests who wouldn't take their screaming children outside:
Fuck you. I'd be more understanding if it was clothes or food for what you're buying but toys? Wrapping paper? Magazines? TAKE YOUR KID OUTSIDE. Instead it was 6 solid hours of kids and babies screaming because they heard...
I wish they would do little mini exclusives in grocery, too. Just take over one of the gondolas in the middle of that one valley with something like local farm-goods, local businesses, or an exclusive one-time release for some bigger companies--they always have something funky coming out of R&D...
TTOTM: Why why why why WHY would you pull backstock out of a PTM aisle? WHHHHHY? You were just doing ad set. You had one job. One! How did you mess up so bad? Ugh.
