We used to have daily huddles at 8am, but we haven't had one in a long time. Not since they called us all together to tell us about the new starting wage, afaik. My team will have brief huddles if the leads need to tell us something as a team, but other than that... *gestures*

My TL's last day was yesterday, I'll miss him. And apparently the most senior sfs guy (idk if that's a department that actually has a lead?) just walked out.

I miss the cafe... or at least being able to get food and drinks that isn't overpriced Starbucks. Definitely miss clear raceways. Gawd I HATE having all that crap in the middle of the aisles, it looks so cluttered and cheap imo. I'm on the fence about the music. On the one hand we play the same...

There are TLs just for beauty? Maybe my store is too small...afaik we've never had such a thing.

The leads always tell our usual thrower that they'll switch him out if he gets tired, but he always just does the whole truck. Mind you, we only get like 1500 pieces on average, but still. I dunno how he does it, he's kind of a wimpy dude. I'd die in there. Too hot, too much bending and pulling...

CDs in long boxes, gawd.

My ETL was like, "they're supposed to be getting better about sorting them!" I gave him a Super Stink Eye and was like mmhmm, I'll believe that when I see it. But apparently the playground stuff is like, supposed to be coming with the stationery. It used to come with softlines, which I suppose...

I was right, the fancy u-boats did make pushing a lot easier. However, having heavy black repacks full of notebooks and planners on the top tier (basically above my head because I am short) is kind of a pisser. Why has dollar Bullseye's Playground junk started coming in the stationery repacks...

I've been doing the combo repacks for about a week (the lady who usually does them is out on bereavement). It's... a thing. But I did pretty much nothing but repacks, every night, for like ten years, so maybe it's easier for me, I don't mind doing it at all. I use a 3-tier for the market stuff...

We get 7 trucks a week, around 1200-1500 each... we're usually done with the unload by 7:30 or 7:45. Most of flow goes home at 2 and we're usually done by then. We just got our new u-boats yesterday and today (there were u-boats everywhere when I left, all in the fire tunnel and clogging the...

Gawd how is it already time to start hiring seasonal again? The last of the the bottom barrel scrapings we hired last Q4 just put in his two weeks (dunno why we kept him this long... desperation, I guess), now we get too look forward to a whole new crop of idiots.

Haha if I was fired I dunno whose hours the time clock was counting. My ghost, I suppose. OMG I'M BACK IN! I called HROC and she said my password had expired... I'd just changed my password like three days before this all happened (and had successfully logged in with the new password for at...

Sorry, what's HROC? When I try to log in to eHR the exact terminology used is "clients credentials have been revoked." When I try to log into a device I'm pretty sure it says "account disabled." (not 100% sure on this, since I don't have one in front of me to check) The person on the help line...

I don't actually know about any other teams other than flow and backroom, since that's all I've done for the last too-many-years, but that's just what I was told all those years ago. I guess my store just has enough cashiers... or not enough guests... and enough salesfloor(?) TMs because we've...

At my store flow and backroom TMs are not even register trained (unless they ask to be crosstrained, which to my knowledge, no one has). I haven't heard a call for backup in a long time, come to think of it... but we've always been told that's not our responsibility, our responsibility is to...
