This past weeks weather has been brutal across the country. I would like to throw down a small challenge to everyone who reads this. Take the time to thank, actually walk up to and thank your cart attendants. These folks are pretty much forgotten in most stores. Usually they are just hearing...

Today was the day for me. After 20 years and 2 months, I left a job that I love and am good at. I did not give notice and I don't feel bad about that at all. I have been struggling with the way my store has decided to treat team members and my position in the store. I can no longer be a willing...

Currently I feel we are running our store with a bunch of kindergarten kids. Physical age doesn't bother me one bit but mental age is something else. We have ETLs riding pallet jacks and carts. They play dress up while we are trying to finish a 2900 piece truck. They drop man cafs in the middle...

We are training sales floor team members presentation for the last few weeks. I am clearly not getting through to a few team members on how to set a reverse POG. Can someone please give me an easy way to explain it, so a 5 year old can understand it?

At some point in time it has become routine for the ETLs in my current location to text their TLs about work. NO! Stop it! When I haven't replied to your first 15 texts what makes you possibly think I am going to respond now. If it is urgent, stress the word urgent here, call me. When I am home...

Great way to really piss off the masses Target. I myself despise this type of sale. 40% off ALL denim, some exclusions apply. One of your major brands is not included which makes your "ALL" statement complete bullshit. I had 3 different people in the span of 20 minutes question this stupid ad. I...

When you are management in any company, you are asking for and hopefully earning the respect of the people who work for you. 2 of the 20 something ETLS come prancing into the store on their way to the gym each week. Yep they work for their bodies and it shows. But to come into your workplace in...

Nothing and I mean nothing ticks me off more than "phone shoppers". Yesterday and today we had calls that were ridiculous! Do you have little girls t-shirts in robin egg blue? Do you have musical greeting cards for weddings? Do you carry glitter toothbrushes in purple? Every single lane was...

Online trainings are usually so boring, until today. While doing some training on MyTime a few of the fake team member names caught me off guard! I know they made me giggle. Lets just say there is a major country singer, a major pop star and someone who lived at Winterfell among others! It is...

How many of your cleaning crews actually empty the recycling containers at the front end AND send the items to recycling? I bet (from experience) that most of the stuff goes directly into the compactor. I have asked our SFT about it and "I dunno" is his stock answer to everything.

Okay everything in the store is changing. But the way Plano is whining you would think only they are affected. Price change is being slammed right now. Flow is being slammed right now. Softlines is being slammed right now. Food teams are being slammed right now. So Plano yep you got a lot going...

BTS is killing the morale of the flow team. Between the huge trucks and the skeletal staffing they are going to start dropping like flies. Our trucks are averaging 2500 and payroll is allowing me 16 total team members for a 4am SuperT. Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping the morale...

Everyone should check their insurance online. I did and they are charging me as a smoker, even though it clearly states "smoke free" under 2 different areas. I went online and took care of it when they rolled this out back in Feb. I told a few coworkers about it today and they too are being...

If anything goes wrong at my current store, it is flows fault. Overstocked? Flow did it. Wrong place? Flow did it. Stocked in only 1 location? Flow. Poor Guest Service? Flows fault. Breakroom a mess? That is surely flow.Wasting payroll? Hands down flow! Truth is I have been working my backside...

I am having a small disagreement and would like some input. Our STL does not allow any team member to park close to the building. I totally get that. The exception I say, should be the person that comes in for early flow. I feel they should be closer to building for safety reasons. I also firmly...

I am really getting tired hearing about the free flu shots. Our district is having a contest for the store that has the most team members get one. The problem is the way they are going about it is really getting close to HIPPA violations. We are asked for a show of hands at huddles who hasn't...
