    Archived No More Drug Testing

    Kinda my feeling on it. What people do in their own home is their own business, and the business of the law. If they carry it into the workplace, thats a different issue.

    Oh how I hate holiday glitter. Makes me feel like a cast member in Twilight.

    Archived NonRehirable? How to fix?

    I can't answer whether it is removed from your record if they choose to rehire you, but it seems like something that would stay on your record, and would probably get in the way of any attempt to promote. Regardless, it hurts nothing to just apply. I see way too many people make this kind of...

    Archived Training someone in backroom

    The above posts have pretty much all covered it. I've always tried to dole it out in doses over multiple days. Day 1 I start out small, giving them the tour of the backroom, explaining fillgroups and basic organization, teach them how to log into the PDA and find and use crucial apps like...

    Archived Dress Code Question

    You can always try having a conversation with leadership and asking a pointed question about this. "ASANTS" (all stores are not the same) as people say around here. Your store may be fairly lax about this. My store really pushes khaki thing, as well as the shorts thing, but they basically...

    Archived Ask any Instocks/Backroom Questions :)

    It doesn't make errors. What it does is make errors visible, i.e. they will show up on the location accuracy reports. It seems that a lot of stores out there prefer to use LOCU to fix errors, because it creates the illusion that there are less errors than there actually are, which makes the...

    Archived Recently accepted a job offer, but have an interview for another

    Show up for your orientation. You don't know you'll get that other job yet, and you don't want to lose out on both jobs. Go to your interview, see if you're offered a job. If you are, and you think its a better opportunity, take that, and put in your notice with Target. It actually happens...

    Archived Ask any Instocks/Backroom Questions :)

    Backroom question: Have you experienced a glitch/bug in the system, in which an item STO'd into a location will then show up located somewhere else instead? example of what I mean: I'm backstocking a tub of items, and I STO candles into aisle 33 (the dedicated STAT aisle). 30 minutes later...

    Archived Big visit then a no show. How do you feel about it.

    We get get at least 1 visit per week, often more than 1. Our DTL is in the store regularly, and other visits with various other district and regional people happen on a somewhat regular basis as well. Of course leadership loses their shit every single time, as does anyone that's focused on...

    Archived Receiving Seasonal Items

    Seems like I may have seen a box or two of "trim a tree" show up as early as late August in the past, but its not a normal thing, and its not in amounts that actually impact anything. It will normally begin trickling in sometime in September. My store usually has a small Christmas set that...

    Archived How do you guys wear your equipment?

    I actually had a belt loop ripped off because of this. Was walking past a tub, key grabbed the tub, and before i realized it had happened I'd taken another step causing the belt loop to rip. If I absolutely must have those keys, they go in the bottom of my PDA holster now. I can't be bothered...

    Archived How do you guys wear your equipment?

    walkie on my left pocket when I have one, PDA and holster hanging on my right hip, box cutter in my right pocket, equipment keys on a lanyard in my left pocket. wallet, personal keys, and phone are on me as well. I tend to avoid having a walkie whenever possible, and am resistant to carrying...

    Archived How many PDA's does your store currently have?

    10 for general use, 2 for price change, I think. Usually 2 or 3 that are somehow missing. We start truck unload at 4am, and the ETL log or flow TL will set aside 1 or 2 for dayside backroom. If I'm even 2 or 3 minutes late, sometimes there aren't any left in the equipment room already, and I...

    Archived Home Reinvention

    I heard store leadership discussing this, and after the pilot, the extent to which stores get this, and the accompanying toys reinvention, will depend on floor space. Some stores may get a partial reinvention, some may not get it at all. This assumes my leadership has accurate information, and...

    Archived Serious question regarding the Target IT department and...

    [the Target IT department and] any teams operating outside of the stores involved in the shipping and ordering processes for stores (DC warehouse grunts excluded). Do they have hired cats who's job it is to walk across the keyboard to write programming code and input orders? Or do they...

    MEGATHREAD Flexible Fulfillment

    I do this when possible, but I'm in at truck unload hours, and the softlines team members in at that hour are very busy getting things prepared for the pallets upon pallets of repack boxes they're about to have dropped in their lap, so I have to balance my time vs theirs and the respective...

    Archived What do you eat at work?

    I try to bring my own lunch. Usually a basic sandwich, chips, and yogurt lunch. But i forget to put it together or wake up too late to do it often, so ill buy a premade sandwich from pfresh most of the time

    MEGATHREAD Flexible Fulfillment

    Personally, its the softlines flex orders that drive me insane. "Find unlocated items". Unless im lucky, i end up spending crazy amounts of time walking around the departments fishing through racks, checking go backs at the fitting room, the hanging backstock in the back, the go back bins at...

    Archived The Big & Dandy Backroom thread!

    With the system as it is, it doesnt matter if its untied or not. The sales accumulator values remain, so the system will continue to pull until those numbers are filled. Untying a POG should fix this, if things were coded correctly, but they arent, and it doesnt
