I ordered and received my free zip but now I'm really wishing I had gotten one of the other products and paid the discounted price. Does anyone know if I can return the zip and get something else? If so, how would I go about doing that?

I worked with a girl recently who did this. She hardly got anything done her entire shift and then took her last break right before her shift ended. I don't really care except that her laziness put a strain on the rest of us trying to get everything done in our area. The break without trying...

I have been surprised at the variety of "looks" at our store amongst team members. It appears to be anything goes which is actually kinda cool. Different hair colors, any length of hair and beards for guys, piercings and tattoos just seem to be ok. One of the GSTLs even cut up her target...

Everyone's favorite ETL at our store is very upbeat, positive and makes work enjoyable. She's not afraid to joke with us and even plays some games over the walkies when it's slow (bad decision game - guess the decision the guest was making when abandoning the "chicken nuggets" in the "underwear...

Ok I'm really glad I don't work in AP.

I guess my store is pretty relaxed. No one really times our breaks although we all know it should be 15 minutes. If it's a few over no one says anything. We buy whatever we want on either breaks or 30 minute meal times. I get my work and then some done. I'm an adult and am glad to be...

We recently had guest crazy pants in our store an hour past closing. After all was said and done, we realize she may have been having some kind of mental breakdown. She spent about 3 hours in the store, had TMs running and grabbing merchandise for her as she scoured and circled items on the...

I have to disagree. There have been others promoted and they are still likeable and work well with others. I have no problem with this lady being in a higher position. More power to her. She just lacks good management skills.

Then I guess everyone at my store is overreacting regarding the new srtl. No it's not life changing or earth shattering, just frustrating. Sometimes ya gotta vent! Sheesh.

I think my store is relatively boring in comparison to what I've read here. What a bummer!

The key, in my opinion, if the type of leader you are. If you make the work environment friendly and even fun on occasion, treat the tms like competent adults (not like children that need watched and hounded) and give positive feedback you will get the desired results. The LOD sets the tone...

If you knew this 19 year old and how immature she is you'd know that she should not have a credit card. And in my opinion, getting a credit card at that young of an age, unless the person is extremely disciplined with money and financially smart, is not wise. I'm the mother of 3 adult children...

Thanks for all the replies. If I thought she was just trying extra hard in her new position I would probably not be so frustrated but this is her personality and how she's known to be in any position she's had. Believe me, it's well discussed among team members because there's such dislike for...

Our HR-ETL is awesome and I have a good working relationship with her. I have been thinking about talking to her. I just don't know when I'll see her again because they rotate shifts and I only work part time evenings. I guess I'll have to be patient. The LOD last night hit us all up to get...

Thanks for the suggestions. What she does is go down the list of those that are zoning to get progress updates so she won't likely leave anyone out just because she knows they are doing their job. This is something other LODs do too but they don't do it as frequently or in such a negative...
