Hierarchy? That's a good one. A few years ago there was a very neat and organized hierarchy but turned out to be way too expensive. Now we have instocks in the backroom doing the backroom job, pricing helping out with instocks by doing their pulls, and TL's working on planograms that the...

Our trucks have been taking in 250+ repack boxes on 1700 piece trucks. It's just not working without some give from distribution.

I feel for you guy's. You guys are the stupidity filters that make our jobs possible. A recent gem that left nearly all of us awestruck in it's complete abdication of reality: ETL "Hey, remember two years ago when you guy's got 26 red cards in one day? Why can't that be everyday?"

Hey at least it is properly named after the people who thought of it.

It is ridiculous. It took two days to finish the truck. When I came in the next day to do the abandons, half of it was from the truck. In prior years our HR people told the people being hired for truck that this was a great second job and they were right. Now the STL/ETL's are telling...

If you are using it and an accident happens then you have to get a drug test. When you get drug tested then bring the card, a copy of the card, and a doctors note for why you are taking it. Do not let Target know but rather the drug test company because they have to operate under a different...

All of this is to avoid having to give more hours to sales floor. I'd say this is beyond stupid but we've been down that path before...

Manatee + Plus Size = Offensive. Did somebody in marketing just go sleep on that one or what?

If Target had been in charge of WWII They would have had ONE boat for D-Day; after all they can just use again and again. Thus D-Day would have launched two years earlier and still ongoing to this day. Germans would to be too stupefied to respond. Civilians would have had their hours...

The guy who "took" me for a ride got away and apparently came back and moved down a parking lot to Albertsons. He has upgraded his hostile actions to getting into people's cars that people leave unlocked (which is everybody). At this point, either we should hire more police or let us have...

One guy called in sick. Then he walked into the store, drunk as a skunk, and purchased a set of headphones and proceeded to thank me four times.

Remember, you cannot spell "Left" without ETL or TL.

They can sell the credit card debt. They just sold the portfolio for $7 Billion dollars.

Three years without one.

Crying. From frustration and pain from either the constantly raising expectations that are so far above what they used to be that it's become abusive or the delightfulness of the JC Penny Rejects.
