I’m guessing your original shift and the picked up shift had overlap? That’s the only thing I can think of that would cause the shifts to merge. If the shift isn’t tomorrow, talk to your HR or SD about it. If it is tomorrow, my advice would be to show up for the entire shift. Yes it’ll be long...

Set it up by aisle, Monday-Friday. Audit aisle RX1-5 on Monday, RX6-10 Tuesday, etc. order and number of the aisles isn’t important so long as the entire department is covered regularly, and you know what is supposed to be done so the team can be held accountable if they don’t do it (factor in...

I’m an internal. TM for 7 years before I became a TL. Not all of it was I interested in or expressed a desire, but once I decided I wanted it, I put in the hard work. Interviewed, was passed over twice for internals with more management experience. Became a TL just before modernization, then the...

Official rules are that if a return must be made and it is hard goods (think an unopened toy or electronic item, a lamp) it needs to be disinfected with TB cleaner or disinfecting wipes. If it is a style item or other food that cannot be disinfected by wiping it down, it must go into quarantine...

Since I am in charge of the store as a whole while there and there’s nobody higher up with me, I used total store metrics. My SD has me using the Store Wide goals for 2020 as my goals in Workday for this year so.

As a test store for Circle, we didn’t get rid of cartwheel while we were/are running Circle. If anything, Circle helps with Cartwheel engagement since your Wallet barcode ties both together on a single barcode. The GVP might have better info but I’m taking this with a big grain of salt.

Your goal for BTS is to treat it like triage: if it’s not about to bleed out, move on to something that is. You’re never gonna get a perfect zone in there besides the day it sets. Any leader who expects a perfect zone there better be prepared to hemmorage payroll into it. Make sure days before a...

It all depends on how impacted your store is by BTS. I’m in an old “Super Freaky” store because we have several colleges nearby plus a large and constantly growing school district. We need the freight that’s gonna be coming/already is, because we will sell a ton of it. While upper management is...

There’s a new register interface coming later this month/year; iirc, it’s comparable to what’s currently at self checkouts if your store has them, hence touch screens. There’s some other neat tools coming with it too, like the ability to order things from target.com at the register. It’s being...

As a recent TM>TL: Never ask your team to do something you aren’t willing and able to do yourself (unless we’re talking something that falls under ADA). There are certain tasks I hate doing because they’re tedious or time consuming; I will often try to get the team to do these. That said, I am...

It means that your store reads as having received 4. Those 4 could be: -in a guest’s cart but not yet paid for -on a vehicle waiting to be pushed -thrown behind other merchandise by a Guest/TM -underneath a rack in softlines/Style -in guest services/another TMs reshop waiting to be returned to...

Your leadership is just putting it off. Me and several other tl’s in the building have gotten ours already.

Beauty at your store is probably making $13.25 using your numbers and the pg35 being Base+0.50. You’ll probably get bumped to $13, but because beauty is higher than that they’ll see no change. Any new beauty members will likely start at $13, not $13.25. In the grand scheme, they’ll only make...

https://www.thebreakroom.org/threads/2018-2019-store-modernization-megathread.18862/post-421507 Basically this post, but bear in mind there have been tweaks and adjustments made since this post. Again, it sounds like sprin 2019 for when a lot of this rolls out chain wide.

To date you’re correct. Your store probably hasn’t implemented new store ops model, and thus keep doing what you have been until you’re told otherwise. This is part of a new way to run the store that will roll out later in the spring company wide. That’s how my store has been handling it under...
