I would tell you to indeed start out with a quick touch up zone. Just see what aisles or sections need some love. I wouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. Then move on to strays for a bit. If you don’t have that much, try to come clean ASAP. If not, at least try to catch up a comfortable amount. I...

I wish! This should be an indication of how wonky payroll is at my store right now: The other day, I was scheduled for 6 hours in electronics. Received a call the day before to cut that shift by 2 hours. At the end of the 4 hour shift, I get asked to cover FF for another 4-5 hours because there...

I will say, even as electronics, I’ve had to help out with flex orders. So I’m sure the closing experts will have to learn in order to be able to provide support if needed. That’s my assumption at least.

Hey guys, I was recently asked to become closing expert as a next step in my development. According to leadership, the plan is for me to become more global and knowledgeable as far as what goes into closing down the store and eventually take over the CTL posistion in the next year. I was...

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear like it according to the rollout guide. Closing experts will be at the new base (PG35). I’m a little worried that the position could end up being a bit “used” like GSAs in the past. It is entirely possible for leaders to give more responsibility to the closing...

Since it’s after the meetings, does anyone have more details on the responsibilities of the closing expert role?

Any updates or new developments coming to the app anytime soon? I’ve been using it and it’s come in handy. Recommended it to all of the Target Mobile people at my store in lieu of them asking us to switch to 2 every time a guest asks them where something is.

Well. I just asked a guest if I could help him find anything. His response? “Did I ask you...” The nerve of some people. Clearly he doesn’t like being engaged.

Yeah... I wouldn’t be surprised. The amount of times I’ve had to remind GS to defect out open earbuds is ridiculous.

I’m probably overlooking a myriad circumstances here, but I’ve always wondered why Target has stayed with MarketSource instead of just hiring it’s own exclusively “Mobile” team members. I know they’re doing the whole “Electronics/Mobile” thing in some stores, but that sounds like a huge pain...

Apparently since MarketSource is pulling out of a few stores in our sales district, they have more hours to go around. So instead of just saving money by cutting those hours, they’re going to be staffing 3-4 Mobile reps on a regular basis at my store. I get trying to give people hours, but...

And here I was worried about rabid collectors today...

I was just recently hired at Target as an electronics TM. I am almost 17 and I'll be starting my senior year of high school in about a month. I enjoy the work environment of Target and see it as a possible job to stick with through college. I was wondering what steps I should take as I work at...

Oh yeah, I totally agree. The stereotype doesn't carry amongst kids as much as adults think it does. And thanks lots!

It's not reliable to just say, "Oh, a millennial, he must know a lot about electronics." Obviously that's an extreme, but I would definitely say that there's some weeding out that must be done. Sometimes I'm sure you can come across the genuinely electronics inclined and educated minor. I like...

Thanks a lot! And yeah, they asked me how I would assist a customer looking for a TV and brought me out on the floor to mock sell an item. I guess it's a good thing that I emphasized that I would suggest accessories that the customer could pair with the TV. I do have a broader knowledge of...

Hi all. I was just brought on as an Electronics TM and have yet to do my orientation, but I was a bit curious about something. I am 16 and I have no official electronics experience outside of my own personal knowledge and the like. I applied in person and emphasized that I was open to any...
