    Archived Black Thursday/Friday 2016 War Stories

    apparently there was some sort of bargain video game bin back in our Electronics department that a TM (i don't know who or how many) filled with Final Fantasy XV Day One Edition, which was street dated. The STL authorized two rain checks for the price in the bin (EIGHT DOLLARS) with business...

    Archived End of my rope

    our GSTL is doing so bad that the BRTL might actually come up and help run the front for Q4. Also don't think we're getting ship from store any time soon, but I could be wrong. That's not a bad idea on the whole, though. I might ask about it. Thanks.

    TTOG who insisted on the $1 tip for helping you to your car, to the point where you just walked by me and slipped it into my pocket so I wouldn't have to touch it or acknowledge it: I'm gonna acknowledge it. Thanks, you stubborn nice person.

    Archived End of my rope

    I think I'm gonna lose it with my ETL. I've been on a slight hot streak thanks to a BRTL who's been giving ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT, MY GOD, and encouraging me and the rest of the GSAs to make decisions instead of letting things sit around. It's been a good feeling and it's nice feeling accomplished...

    Archived Good Bye Food Avenue

    Whenever the LOD decides. Hours need to be saved? Ask the closing cafe to just go home and opener is now the closer. We crosstrained some hardlines folks to be cafe, but then they decided they still want them as hardlines, so we have a lot of mornings where a HL TM is scheduled to open cafe and...

    Archived Good Bye Food Avenue

    As a Not-Starbucks-Kinda-Person, I'd be distressed if I lost my soda and popcorn area. I'm also big on the chicken tenders they serve. Of course, our hours are also getting slashed so it's kind of moot because the place isn't even open half of the time. I feel like FA wouldn't be in such a hole...

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    Well then I guess I was misinformed when I first started. I thought it was the same "TD bank checks your life blah blah" thing as the credit card when you apply. Guess its not worth the battle.

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    Speaking of delusional ETLs, our GE printed an info sign on every register for the debit card. Not going to post a picture, but the key phrase is "you're not opening anything, just linking an existing debit card to target" which... No?? You are definitely opening something and getting a credit...

    Archived What have you broken at Spot?

    About two months after we got our SCOs, I was closing them up and rapidly shoved the outside key into the keyhole, the carabiner swung onto the handle as I turned it and the key got stuck in the lock and bent at a ninety degree angle. That's probably my favorite but it didn't break. I also had...

    Archived General payroll rant

    At this point I'm waiting to see how bad the November hours are and which team lead will be the first to spew the unfortunate bullshit of "fourth quarter is a slow period in retail" Our HR guy claims that his objective is to get everyone with open availability a solid 40 hours, but I'm waiting...

    Archived Anyone else hate vendors?

    I work front end so I don't really have to deal with too many vendors. There's one who works jewelry and giftcards who I have a minor crush on. We had a Kellogg's vendor set up an endcap on our checklanes for pumpkin ceral bars and damn, that girl was definitely putting the "nut" in Nutrigrain...

    What store do you guys work at?

    I'm working at the one that's falling apart in so many different ways.

    Archived Does anyone's store ever enforce a late policy?

    I once had a cashier show up thirty minutes late and I let it slide until we needed carts, and had him clear the lot without calling for backup. Then I had everyone on walkie say "thanks for being late, [cashier]" Probably the most dastardly I've been as GSA. EDIT: Also, no, it doesn't seem...

    Archived Electronics beware, there is a glitch in the matrix

    I WISH WE HAD THAT CORPORATE PERSON because I had some primo cock chaff get denied and then call corporate, get a case number, made us call to verify, and then corporate overrode it. My LOD was piiiiissed. I'm still pissed myself.

    Archived Have your hours increased or decreased in the past month?

    34 hrs 10/2-10/8 but I typically manage to get 30+ a week. I know a lot of my team has been having 10 hour weeks and there's a lot of talk of jumping ship. I really do hope they find something better, because they're just getting the whip cracked harder on their backs because September is a slow...

    no but our ETL-AP was there and these folks have done weird returns in the past so I thought I recognized them from that. but we very quickly relayed information after they were in and out in five minutes with a bunch of stuff in their hands to a car waiting out front

    TTOGs WHO JUST WALKED IN AND SNAGGED A BUNCH OF SOFTLINES AND PUSHED OUT WITH EVERYTHING IN THEIR ARMS: GODDAMMIT I KNEW I RECOGNIZED YOU FUCKERS I'M SO MAD THAT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO BLOCK YOU OFF I'M PISSED AT HOW BAD I AM AT MY JOB but we got your plates, your car, your faces, and phone...

    Archived Self-Checkouts

    Our strategy has been to kneel and sort it on the floor when closing, and then add the money from the cartridges on top of the guests' 1s 5s and 10s and then bundle it up. It helps save some sorting time but facing can still be a small hassle. But yeah, door open and shielding you on one side...

    Archived Does the TM Discount + Redcard apply to cards like Steam Cash or Riot Points etc?

    Not to contradict here but I'm fairly sure that the redcard DOES take 5% off of prepaids, because we have guests who will buy, like, $400 in disneyland giftcards and save with the RC. I've also gotten a bump buying cards for the Nintendo eShop. Team member discount definitely doesn't apply, though.
