Same. Our new SD had the shelving and bins that used to be behind Guest Services removed. Now there are 2 or 3 triple-tier carts back there, not sorted at all. Everyone is supposed to stop and pick up a few things for the area they're working in when returning from break or lunch, but it's such...

Wow. I've been part of what's called inbound for quite a while now and we've never been coddled. Although it is true that a former, awful TL favored certain members of what we called Flow Team. It's terrible how your SD plays favorites like that. Other TMs resent inbound and it does inbound TMs...

I get asked quite often where products are, especially in OTC. Just today: wart removal medication, Dulcolax, nail polish (not OTC but sort of nearby), a vitamin that's stocked in Beauty. When I'm not there, I expect guests ask at the pharmacy counter, but only a couple of their staff are very...

"Sloppy" is exactly right. It's not dirty or disorganized so much as just sloppy. Which I tend to be at home, but I sure don't like shopping at a store that's a mess. And once the slide into sloppiness starts, it gets harder every day to clean things up. As for accountability, it's been a...

Seems like your circumstances would allow for some leeway. (Glad you're on the road to recovery!) Maybe reduce your hours or move to a different work center?

TTOG: Really, you think it's cool to leave a pomegranate with a long slice in one side just sitting on a shelf? Were you playing catch with it? Because it looked like maybe it had hit the edge of a shelf, and broke open enough that it splattered some juice on the shelf and nearby product and...

A TM at my store is going on leave soon for surgery. (It's been planned for a while, but was delayed at least once.) Another has been on leave for a while, also for surgery; she was supposed to be back already, but developed a serious infection at the incision site and then her elderly dad...

TTOG: No we don't have chewable carotene or any type of "just carotene" product. (Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's contained in some of the other vitamin products though.) Sorry that you apparently misread your search results incorrectly, but go ahead and look around as long as you like.

Also glad Black Friday is dead - I often think at this time of year that it's maybe the one good thing that came out of Covid. My shift starts 3 hours earlier than usual, but that's okay. I'm done before noon.

After reading the article, I'm not hopeful. Saturday should be a pretty busy shopping day and all the carts were gone from the front when I left for the day. But it sure didn't seem like the store was full of guests.

Agreed. I have opened things like coffee makers - something I know I can put back together and tape shut, no damage done, no product used. But never something like a toothbrush because who wants to buy something like that in a previously opened box? Yuk.

I agree that it's essentially the same as stealing, but don't think Target would be okay with confronting guests about it. Because unless it's involving a LOT of defected product by the same person/s, the risk of losing guest good will is too high. Make no mistake: I totally agree with your...

Plenty of TMs work second jobs; I used to before my store decided it was better to give solid TMs more hours than to have a gazillion TMs working short shifts. Might be smart to at least look for a new roommate, look for a second job, and take a hard look at your budget. A lot of people confuse...

So wish that someone would be able to zone Beauty at my store. Our main Beauty TM is so slow in pushing her truck and neatness is not her thing. She's very nice, very knowledgeable about her product area, helpful to guests so she's not all bad! Good for you for getting your diagnosis and...

Yep, all the time. There have even been nasty messages written with foundation or lipstick; made sure our AP TM saw one of them that I found. Lots of nail polish dabs. It really does get pretty disgusting sometimes. In my area (OTC and Pers Care), I find wrecked boxes that electric toothbrushes...

TTOTM on Fulfillment: I know you're new and still learning the ways of Target. But using vulgar language, especially on the sales floor, is not cool. After hearing you use several choice words while talking to your trainer, I interrupted and said something. (Now that I think about it, your...

Also worried about Q4. There were so many carts half-full of reshop in Seasonal yesterday and no one was doing anything with them for at least a couple hours. And behind Guest Service? Yikes. It was a nightmare. If we're struggling with reshop now, we're going to be in deep trouble in a few...

TTOG shopping for a Shipt order: Maybe next time actually take the time to read the box before you come get me and say you can't find something? The product was right where it was supposed to be, but you had to pick up the box to see the 0.35 ounce part that was hiding behind the self-pusher...

Is this the thread to say putting together the Cocoa cart was a challenge? It's assembled but not stocked yet. So many pieces! I've done a lot of POGs, including with things like electric toothbrush models, but this was a different kind of beast. Have to say though, I really does look cute...

I started as a seasonal TM and I'm still at the same store, 10+ years later. @Noiinteam and @Hardlinesmaster are both right. I'd add: Don't be afraid to ask questions. (If someone makes you feel stupid for asking a question, that's their problem.) If you can figure out who are the founts of...
