Same here, plus door time so I can see who's coming in. We get PMRs or apprehensions that way. Makes the day go by faster.

I help with team lift carry outs but I will NEVER do carts. I've been asked by front end leadership to help with carts before and I always tell them no, I need to be at the door. One of my co-workers agreed to do it once. We had a small conversation about it and ultimately agreed it hurts our...

TPS, $10.00/hr, 2 years in October

I say get in, take what they offer you at the end of the internship, and then make your move to a different area/etl role after a while.

when i hear about them i find them very offensive and annoying.. yeah one observational visit is the only way to determine a store's level of service. *shaking my head*

from what I understood at a huddle at my store this week, undercover vibe visits determine how much money a store gets for raises. The LOD leading the huddle said the DTL takes a look at the store's results from undercover vibe visits and then the DTL allocates money for a store that way. I...

minority college student here.. my college experience has NOT been cheap and I don't get scholarships or financial aid either. Your justification for not getting scholarship money because you aren't good at sports or not a minority shows a sense of entitlement that I'd associate with privilege.

I agree with everyone else, it's probably best you just process the transaction and let AP know ASAP if you think it was suspicious so they can get a license plate. One thing you could probably do is make sure you match serial numbers on electronic items to the serial number on its package and...

I've only been with spot for 1 year, the recent internal promos I've seen are someone who applied to be an intern, but was denied and given a TL position. He/she applied for intern again after working as a TL and got the internship the second time around. He/she is a ETL now at another store...

are your TPS's making call outs for your APS? all i do is make call outs for my aps when i'm standing at the entrance or on the sales floor. one of them actually led to an apprehension not to long ago! my etl-ap is doing the same during their LOD shifts. we get the most recoveries or apps when...

i'm losing my etl-ap, no word on a replacement yet. the store i work at right now doesn't make enough to be high volume, but we do pick up as the year progresses. i don't think we're getting another etl-ap, i would be surprised if we did. i hope they stop slashing tps hours, yesterday was a slow...

my first black Friday as a TPS was a nightmare. I found way too many empty packages, I felt that too much theft happened that day because we were bound to the door because we were anticipating a visit from our APBP, who is a door time nazi.

i would have declined the TL offer and/or asked for a Sr. TL position.

one time the fire alarm went off at my store when i was at a register cashiering and 99% of the store's employees didn't know what to do including AP. It was a false alarm (i guess a customer backed into an emergency exit door and caused it to go off when it opened). The STL/LOD went to guest...

never mess with anything that belongs to a guest unless you want a huge headache, your ass on the line, or a possible termination.
