    Archived Forced to cross-train?

    Does it matter? I'm well trained an a number of areas. There are some I don't want or care for. But now I'm being told I have to get trained in this area. I don't want to do it. So when has this become policy?

    Archived Forced to cross-train?

    I always thought that was an option. Now, I'm being told I have to train and do something I absolutely do not want to do. When the hell did this start?

    Archived Toy team

    So far our pog team hasn't heard anything this year about working toys. Which is weird, because we have always done it. And was mentioned above, we pretty much do everything there during the holidays. But at my store lately it's been pretty strange, so who knows.

    Archived The corporate dumbass who design Revisions should be FIRED

    One thing that kills me. The Tuesday morning 'Early Releases' for electronics. Now I work at a Super T, and maybe it's different for the rest of you, but man O man, it takes way longer then what they think it does to set everything. They tell us '15hrs' and get it done with 2 people. Well, even...

    Archived Target Waffles on Guns in Stores

    Question for all the posters on this thread. Have any of you seen this at your store? And is it any kind of real problem?

    Archived The Big & Dandy Plano thread!

    Well, on the bright side of things we are not only caught up, but actually ahead. But that's because we have just started our re-model and have a ton of people on the plano team. So many that at this point I have no idea of the number. Take building the bins. Had a line of 6 or more people...

    Archived Grocery transition

    We are trying our best to keep up, but man it's tough. Starting to get behind, and hours are building. At this rate I'm gonna have to leave just a couple of hours after I start on Fri. Just moving all that product, cleaning shelves, moving dividers, changing shelf heights, merching clearance...

    Archived The Breakroom's Wall of Stupid TMs

    A number of years ago we had a huge amount of theft from the backroom. If you were doing a pull, you would find empty packages and all sorts of stuff. And if you happened to walk back there, someone would make a bird whistle. So the rest of us knew what was going on. We complained over and...

    Archived Grocery transition

    O.M.G. Not only grocery, but our re-model starts Sunday. And we are a Super. A ton of new hires for the plano team, constantly trying to train people,very little equipment. Oh, and as far as the cracker aisle that was mentioned above? We got bad label strips. Reverse, both sides. Problem is...

    Archived Got a question for you all...

    Been doing a lot of grocery re-sets. Always used grocery carts to stick product in and move it. But now I'm told that I can't do that, due to some Federal Law stating that it's not legal to put food products in grocery carts (Yeah, that is what I've been told at my store). Now this strikes me...

    Archived The Big & Dandy Plano thread!

    Yeah, our hours are really short next week also. OTOH, I have a 3 day weekend right now. Our team right now is sort of in a Twilight Zone. We haven't had a team lead for about 5 weeks or so. Plus we are in that new area where we are supposed to cover the whole store. For instance the other day...

    Archived Extreme Weather at Target

    Man, if we ever get severe weather near my store, I'm grabbing a jacket and heading into the freezer. Probably the sturdiest part of the store.

    Archived the gentleman's agreement....

    All I can say is I need my breaks. Tough shit if my TL doesn't take his, but I'll be damned if I'm not taking mine. I need the rest, even if it's only 15 minutes. And since breaks are guaranteed by Target, why would you work through them? Just working for free. Makes no sense to me.

    Archived The Big & Dandy Plano thread!

    Couple of things that are killing us. First is that we (Plano) have to merch Clearance. OMG, there was so much in hosiery that our STL had to pitch in. Second is that when we went from overnight to 4am, they split our days off. Before we were all on the same 10hr days. But now not. And I...

    Archived Target Canada alone loses 8 to 9 billion

    Not good, not at all. Target should have slowly started out in Canada, opening one or two stores in some of the major cities, and then evaluated the situation. One would think they would have learned their lesson when they kept opening store after store down here and sales didn't keep up. Well...

    Archived There are weird things going on in the front of the store.

    Don't even get me started on missing breaks. I've decided that no matter what my TL says, I'm taking my breaks. It's Target Policy, not to mention State Law. If he doesn't want to take his, fine by me. But don't expect me to be that sort of tool...

    Archived Is my ETL serious?

    Yeah, I know. But I like him, he's good at what he does. So serious closed door talk is going to have to happen.

    Archived Is my ETL serious?

    I'm pretty clear on my breaks and lunch. What pisses me off is sometimes my TL doesn't want us to take the second 15 minute break. It has gotten to the point where I'm going to call him out on it, or complain to the higher ups. And at that point he will probably get fired. But I don't want...

    Archived Have You Even Been Ratted On

    I've never been ratted on, but once had two team mates called up front because they were joking with me. Someone overheard what they were saying, and thought they were making fun of me. Which they weren't. Pissed me off when I found out about it later. Only complaints I have about the ear buds...

    Archived My store is changing to a 6am but we suck as a 4am

    Having gone from an overnight to a 4am process over a year ago, I can see that the 4am is not at all efficient from a work that's required standpoint. On overnight, you can make messes, get it cleaned up later, have crap all over the place. Just for instance, pallets on the floor, without...
