    Archived YAY!!! New Card Readers! Yay!!!

    Honeslty, with the number of these that Target is likely ordering, somewhat surprised they didn't go for the "Target Red" custom edition.

    Archived paper towel math/logic

    It seems to confuse our Flow team, that and the Select a Size, nothing is ever stocked right there. Confuses guests too, if I have another guest bring up a 8=16 pack when the 16 pack is on sale, I might scream.

    I'm Lost! The Call In/Sick/Late/NCNS/Attendance Thread

    For a very long time I went in and left early, it really shows the leadership that you aren't BSing them. I get Migraines that make me virtually worthless at work, not to mention they make me get sick. My rule of thumb was always, if I needed to run to the bathroom, I was going home. Now though...

    Archived Speculation: Something's changing at the Service Desk

    Saw this laying around in the TSC today, not the greatest picture, but it gets the idea across. I am going to ask tomorrow for where they got it, maybe there is some more. If this really is it, I am a bit concerned. I have no idea where reshop goes. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Archived Im not sure about the Logic with my store this week. *Payroll Ect*

    Having a Cart Attendant must be nice, we never have one. We even had a $110,00 day over by almost 15k and had no cart attendant, oh and three cashiers. We ran out of carts with nobody on the sales floor. I said "Carts or (bigger) lines, your choice." I just laugh it off now, the number one thing...

    Archived The Silence

    If you know anything about electronics, a few bucks worth of pieces from RadioShack a shrink tub gun and a "Brand" walkie headset can fix that. ;) It came out of my early mornings doing InStocks, the Silence in the morning when I'm still a bit drowsy and add in the incessant beeping is even...

    Archived Cash Advances

    We have $20's, but I strongly discourage my cashiers from ordering them, and always check before I give it to them. The only time I fill that request is when the wonderful 8:02 guest buys a candybar with a $100. I tell my cashiers to give them change using 20's, 10's 5's and 1's and then I will...

    Archived Jcp

    And came from Target before that! I saw an ad today, in the Breakroom no less, that was kinda hinting toward Jcp going away from "Sales." Not a bad idea, I know Jcp was one of the worst with plastering percent off signs everywhere.

    Archived Pre-paid scratch cards

    I would never take a card back that had been scratched off, even if it hasn't been activated. If it is scratched off, that means they have the number. So say for an iTunes card, they keep the number and just keep waiting until the card is sold again. That's why you should also always check when...

    Archived Pizza Hut Express

    Great, considering the margin on it is already like 80%, must be because 80% are going in the trash. :D

    Archived Speculation: Something's changing at the Service Desk

    That must have been an earlier attempt, by looking at the plans there is three "Service Desk" lanes with room for 7 full sized carts lined up behind them, much like it is now. This is what I mean by "moving" the service desk. According to the plans also, where our Service desk was will turn into...

    Archived Speculation: Something's changing at the Service Desk

    I actually got to see a "Blueprint" of our remodel today, and it put myself quite a bit to ease. It is not so much "Losing" the service desk as having it "Move" over to where the Express lanes are. There is still an area behind and a place for Reshop carts. It actually seems like a pretty good...

    Archived anybody else love pet head?

    All I know is it has been a joke in the TSC for a few weeks.

    Archived Speculation: Something's changing at the Service Desk

    I was told that some registers would be marked as "Guest Service" while the rest are "just" registers. So when Guest Service isn't helping any guest, they just become a "Cashier." It's really what we do right now, but instead of sending the guest all the way to the Service Desk, they just go to...

    Archived Speculation: Something's changing at the Service Desk

    Don't mean to resurrect this thread, however, we were just informed at my store today that this "Getting rid of the Service Desk" is not only an idea, but it is happening. During our P-Fresh remodel in April we will go down to 10 lanes and lose our Service Desk. We were told we are the second...

    Archived Target trailer incident

    If this isn't a parallel to the direction this company is heading in, I don't know what is. :buba:

    Archived Don't dismiss the value of a degree even in this economy

    Target actually pushed me back into school. After running out of money on my way to a 4 year degree, I moved back home with only 20 credits left for my Associates. I got hired on at Target and get 38+ hours a week, so I consider it full time. I worked on finishing up those 20 hours online. After...

    Archived GSA/GSTLs, how do you get your 40 hours?

    At my store the other GSA's normally are scheduled Service Desk, it works our well because it is a natural fit for somebody to cover the GSA's lunch. Since I come from my roots in InStocks, thats where my extra hours come from, its a heck of a transition though, going from GSA to InStocks, I...

    Archived Speculation: Expect layaway next

    I hope we don't follow with layaway, I don't want to deal with it, or deal with the people that use it. What we really should do is do what Lowes is doing, 0% for 6 months OR 5% off. Personally, if you can't secure credit for what you want to buy, you shouldn't be buying it.

    To that one guest

    If a guest personally attacks ME with either a word or a threat, the conversation is over, I will walk away, I will not call an LOD. Typically I call AP and they take care of it. Also, I can't stand those people who have $200 of credit and use it in reverse, like the credit they have available...
