Ditto what backroom dude said. As soon as the back room was finished pulling the autofills they would come out and push toys and sporting goods since they could finish that out quick. One would stay in the backroom to keep up with the backstock. We would keep moving people around as needed. The...

I sorted reshop, putting anything away that was close. Zoned all of mens and to the fire door in RTW sometimes shoes. Ran back to answer phone calls, this was before the cordless phones. Stuffed and checked signs for ad on certain nights. I hated going on break and seeing someone sit there and...

If there are team members in the store someone is in charge. Someone is the LOD and you should be able to call in to them. I was the Flow TL keyholder so I was the LOD until an ETL showed up. I would take any call offs and put them into the PDA. I would also let the opening LOD know as soon as...

I think we let them know about the 1st week of January. Telling them before that was just inviting call offs if you weren't keeping them. Since my flow team was so large I kept anyone that was decent. We always had room. We always ended up losing a few in the first few months of the year anyway...

I used to be the TL and quit, moved on to better things. Now my daughter has a job at Target but still lives under my roof. She is 18. When I had my discount my kids could use it. Can I use hers? I would rather buy the stuff because I have the credit card and will get an additional 5%. She...

What if the child has the card but is my dependent and lives with me?

buckwill I was thinking the same thing. Who are you calling out to?( I heard they do call outs at schools to get new club members) I call in to see if I can pick up a shift. I call off from work. It's also pop where I am from Soda comes from a fountain with soda water in it.

As a FTL I had my own baler and crown keys on my key ring. I never gave out that ring but would pull off the baler key from the ring on occasion. My keyring had the store keys on them so they never left my pocket. A team member leaving the bale key in the baler and walking away was a written...

My daughter started seasonal for Target and they weren't scheduling the newbies on Black Friday or Thursday night. I told her it was time and a half so she was trying to pick up a shift. Do they still pay time and a half for new employees or do they have to be there a while. Since I know they...

I would have my TL speak to the POGTL and have their team neatly put backstock on a tub in repacks or whatever works easiest for you to backstock. No way should items be dumped on a tub for you to sort before backstocking. For us backroom day pulled POG batches and backstocked whatever came...

I would grab all the pda's I needed first thing in the morning and my team would use them until the special teams came in and then they would be directed to that team member to get them. We tried getting some of the harder areas like stationary, office and some of HBA without labels finished...

My first ETL LOG did the weekend night rotation but all the rest worked only mornings. They worked longer hours than any ETL in the place. I think they deserved not to close on weekends or any other day and I also expected them to be around if I had issues. The other ETL's never cared about any...

Oh and breaks were all taken together at the same time. I can't keep an eye on 30 team members taking breaks at different times and milking the clock. We took it at store opening so we could get as much pushed before guests were on the floor. No we didn't go to the floor huddle. They take too...

1st day I had the new TM doing the online training for P-Fresh etc... I introduced them at our huddle. I assigned them to a trainer as soon as they were done with the computer stuff. The first few days I made sure they were trained on the line front and back, breaking out, softlines wave, hard...

If they know you have that kind of experience that is where they will put you. Very few like it so it is hard to get out since there is no one to replace you. Try to cross train for Starbucks and cashiering. Good luck

Yes you were clear. We also had those numbers written on the signs above the line for the repacks as well. I would ask another seasoned tm on the line which repacks are supposed to go where otherwise. All our softlines repacks went to the end of the line for the last pallet and every other...

You probably need to work with the Flow TL but watch the attitude (because as we all know) not everywhere is the same. We dropped manuals that were pushed every night. I had someone in charge of cardboard to take it back so there wasn't too much on the floor. A PA was also scheduled under Flow...

Yes every line is different. Don't they have the signs above the line with the custom block numbers listed as well as the repacks about each pallet. If they don't they should because it is part of the FLow Tl job to make sure it is up to date. It makes it much easier for new TM especially when...

I can't imagine why anyone would want an hour lunch. What would I do but spend money and have to be at work 30 minutes longer than necessary. I always brought my own lunch. Many of my team wouldn't stay if they had to take a lunch so they would work as close to 6 hours as possible.

Years ago I got asked if I was interested in running a team for 3 weeks while the TL was out of town. It was during break so I was able to do it. I never had to interview. Months later when my availability opened up I did have to interview for a TL posistion but it was so easy I was practically...
