Any time I saw a bunch of furniture coming out, I would check and see who is scanning those aisles, and see what their plan is to get the stuff pushed. If it was a TL and they were going to push it themselves or assigned it to a specific TM, great. If it was the instocks team, who basically...

If I had been making enough money to support myself, I would have stuck around as long as possible. The cost of living where I am is outrageous, and anything short of a TL position wouldn't cut it if I ever want to live on my own.

Just got word that there are currently 140+ SPUs to be picked. Here's hoping that my store planned for a few extra days of designated TMs to work on those..

After almost 3 years with Spot, today was my last day. I made sure to stick around and help out through Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but now it's on to my new job. I'll miss my team, and my discount. Thank you to everyone here for helping to keep me informed when leadership in my store would...

To my knowledge, only scheduled CAFs are timed. We drop manuals every evening for our offsite, because nobody works overnight to pull the autofills which drop at 10:30. I know for a fact they take anywhere from 2-3 hours to pull those ~20 batches, and if it was negatively affecting our metrics...

I heard the MyFA team (we don't have SFS, just SPU and a butt-ton of STSs from other stores) will be getting white shirts. And of course, we ended up with 60+ L/XL, and hardly any S/M. Hardly anyone at my store wears L/XL so I might as well just wear red and hope for the best.

Usually a long lunch at my store, or clocking out a little early. Hitting 40 is a no-no at my store.

Considering doing the same, just to see if anyone from my store messages me afterwards saying "I KNEW IT!!!"

Off for the rest of the week. SCOOOOORE.

Swap shift board. If you start out just taking hardlines shifts here and there, and you're decent, the TLs will take notice and consider you for future shifts. Then you can talk to HR about doing both cashier and sales floor shifts.

My store is awful with the grey dots. Stuff gets pushed out, the dots stay on. Wrong items get flexed out, grey dots stay on. Unless they re-trained the instocks team and explained the concept to every other sales floor TM, they'll never serve their purpose in my store. The grey dots are a...

When I started, my first (training) week was a pretty full schedule (almost 40). The following week was barely 20. things tend to level out. Training schedule isn't a very good indicator of what's to come. Especially now, as B.Friday and Christmas come up, your hours should pick up. Even if...

After last year's Black Friday/Cyber Monday debacle (400+ SPUs in the gun for almost a week, no district support) we will have a designated team the entire weekend. Fingers crossed that we can keep our heads above water this time around. They should be giving us sales floor TMs to train in...

Around 97%. There is a bit of a dispute between two ETLs at my store on handling ghosts, and we will be m-deleting going forward so that we can pinpoint who is creating errors. Simply sweeping the problem under the rug by LOCUing just isn't working anymore.

Animal ears have always been OK at my store. A few TMs have been wearing animal ears/tails for the last week. Hats are iffy.
