My store is experiencing this leg of our remodel now and so far they've found a couple 3x5 sale signs from years ago and one jar of mayonnaise under a base deck that expired in 2012. In another part of the store I heard they found a hidden cache of clearance makeup so old that I didn't...

Well, our store is currently under remodel and the operator station has now been moved to guest service, which I find hilarious. More like softlines, indeed.

Oh man. My store stopped dishing out recognition swag like 3 years ago. Lol

Just any recognition for a job well done. I have a fantastic and supportive TL, but being the only modernized department in the store tends to make us and, by extension, my team's work go completely unrecognized. Even our ETL is hard pressed to give us so much as a "good job today, guys." I know...

From what I hear, yes. The store will have full end to end teams and so will not require any specialty teams. No pog, pricing, back room (!), flow, signing specialist, etc. And cashiers will probably make the same as everyone other than non team leads. This includes the GSAs, as well. So, you...

Overpaid? GE hands down Underpaid? It depends on how much workload each one has, I guess. I work a low-ish volume store that's been over on head count for quite some time. In an effort to combat this, our store has condensed the Food ETL and Logistics ETL into one role, which, as it sounds...

This is so spot on. The most effective members of my store's management team are the ones who have been around at least as long as I have. Our stl is great and all, but entered the company, as far as I know, as Food BP. Spends a little time as a nomadic etl overseeing various remodel projects...

This is the way its always been at my store. Completely erratic uta. And now that we've gone end to end our stl bitches when the two tms they scheduled for a 450 piece truck that doesn't arrive until 11am isn't finished by 2:30. And as the senior most PA, I get all the heat for it. Not our full...
