Our DSD told us that July was going to be particularly rough for payroll 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm very new in role as a Specialty ETL, in a store with blood-red metrics. The home/seasonal side of my business is doing great; we actually come clean every day. A&A is what is killing me at the moment. Too much freight, too little hours, etc.

Holy shit. I thought the 40 mine was sitting on was bad. We got it down to 5 by working overnights for a week and a half, though.

Same here. Although, they did sprinkle in some dialogue, so maybe mine was more of a hybrid situation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tuft & Needle isn't a Target-owned brand, but I still laughed 😂

At my store, we have three style TLs, one covering tech and one covering Beauty in addition to their style departments. One is going to now be a SSTL and will cover beauty, tech and home with the other two splitting up style. I had not heard anything about Seasonal being added, but it makes...

I'd say about 15% of guests and TMs are still wearing masks at my store. There are a few TMs and TLs that I know for a fact aren't vaxxed, but aren't wearing masks. Lots of colds going around right now, too. I'll keep my mask on for a bit.

SD told us that we won't get more payroll when we go back to pre-covid hours 😩

This is where you need to take the initiative and ask them, "have you thought about any feedback that you have for me?" And keep asking until they give you something concrete to improve upon. Be the squeeky wheel. If they still won't give you anything, then they may not see leadership potential...

I would start by asking for specific feedback as to what they think your "opportunities" are and then go from there. You can't change what you don't know, you know?

According to the communication that I got, unless you're a small format, there will be open to close FR coverage.

At my store we have three Style TLs; one has Beauty and one has Tech in addition to our style departments. It's worked out pretty well.

For the last week at my store all of specialty has been over 70% every day on OFOs only because we've been doing one in the AM and another around 4 pm. I don't expect my team to pull the second one, though; either myself or my ETL will do it.

TTOTM: please, for the love of dog, stop calling for backups to the check lanes *solely* to cover your break and just wait 5 minutes until another cashier comes in 😐

TTOTL: I know you weren't taking COVID seriously, especially considering you couldn't be bothered to wear your mask properly. But, I thought actually getting it would change your tune. So imagine my surprise when you said to me, "if it were up to me, I would've come to work anyway because I felt...
