At least you have those E2E teams making an attempt. At my store we only have it in electronics, but it's in the form of a single TM coming in at 11am and working freight for 8 hours while also being the only salesfloor TM on that side of the store. So even though they haven't started E2E...

Yeah it's so stupid. There is one beast backroom tm who backstocks all of grocery in under 2 hours, so that's about 8 hours of payroll per week. The explanation for the drop in hours even though the market rollout isn't starting yet is because electronics and cosmetics are now going to e2e...

My store lost 80-90 backroom hours on the new schedule. Went from 240-250 down to 160, and we're not even starting the grocery rollout yet.

My flow TL went on LOA due to mental health issues a while back. They obviously didn't tell us that's what it was for, but he had gone through a loss in his family and was under a lot of pressure at work to the point where he looked visibly depressed every day. The first two days he was gone...

Food TL is in charge of everything at lower volume stores. My store now has a single food TL in charge of SB and pfresh.

Our Starbucks TL is going to become the Food TL. The only change is he will now be overseeing Pfresh in addition to Starbucks (we don't have food ave). The consumables TL will no longer be responsible for Pfresh but is keeping the rest of his departments (dry grocery, seasonal, HBA, chem...

The freezer? We once had a full pallet of defected frozen vendor products sitting in the freezer for months because nobody wanted to deal with it.

We only hired a few TMs, not nearly enough. Heard that our newest ETL-HR was going over things from last year and apparently found out there were some schedules written where we were 700 hours short because we literally didn't have enough TMs. Would not be surprised if she jumps ship soon...

So we've had the self checkouts running for a few weeks now and as expected, they don't have anyone scheduled to run them. Starbucks is supposed to take a walkie and they call the GSTL if they see a light. Of course Starbucks is often busy, so guests usually need to wait until a random TM walks...

I wasn't expecting service desk to actually run self checkout, I just meant that they would be able to call someone if needed because it would be in view and the GSTL is most often near that end of the store. They went ahead and installed it at the Starbucks side on the weekend anyway, so it's...

Not sure how true that is. We have a TL married to a TM and two TLs married to each other. All first met at work and all are in different workcenters.

Not a Super Target. I was just looking to see what others thought is the best location in that setup. To make sure I'm not the crazy person for thinking it makes more sense on the service desk side... Oh god that would be even worse. Yeah that's what we all assumed would happen when we heard...

In a store with this layout, where would be the ideal place for self checkouts? We're getting them soon, and the general consensus seems to be to put them on the guest services side, removing the cartwell and a checklane to make room. That way it'll be easier for the GSTL to be nearby, and it's...

Hopefully things are getting back to normal now, but yes you pretty much need to cancel a trailer to start getting caught up. We were like 60 pallets behind in push at one point last Q4, and the first step was cancelling a trailer and having flow start pushing old shit. Everything needs to be...

TTOETL: Why the hell do you spend hours helping all of the TLs write their schedules on Wednesday, only to come in Thursday and cut the shit out all of them?? You don't seriously expect Flow and Backroom to actually get everything done with all of those cuts, do you?
