    Archived Starbucks remodel?

    I think we are getting La Boulange after the remodel; I saw something about that in a Messageboard recently. Something about how they might be getting communication about it but it wasn't going to be set for another month or two. I'll double check next time I'm at work.

    Archived Starbucks remodel?

    So I just heard today that our Starbucks is getting a pretty big remodel/transition in the next month or so; I believe to make it look closer to a regular Starbucks. Apparently not a lot of stores are getting it. Has anyone's store gotten this yet and what does it look like? I'm curious to see pics.

    Archived MyTime and PA's?

    Does anyone know how MyTime will affect specialty TM's such as PA's? We've been told that we won't be on a set schedule anymore and could be pulled out of any eligible work center, but I don't understand how that's an effective use of our pay grade since we're being paid to work in pFresh, do...

    Archived TL & ETL ask if I'm interested in taking a TL position

    Sucks to be on the bench right now, for sure.

    I know our TL's have been in meetings all week so I am dying to know exactly who is staying and who isn't. We lost two Sr.TL's and one TL over 4thQuarter and they never replaced them so I imagine things won't change TOO much except our PricingTL is definitely going to be out of a spot. Does...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    We don't BCode as we push because it's two separate teams that push and backstock, and neither of them is pFresh affiliated. There's a couple people on Flow that always push pFresh trucks, and then they'll schedule 1-2 Backroom TM's to backstock. If the two groups got together and decided to...

    Archived Changing jobs?

    I went from being a FA TM to being a PA, so it's definitely not a black hole at my store. We had another TM move to electronics from FA and other be crosstrained in Market. Like all areas, it depends on your leadership and how serious they are about personal development. At my store, I would say...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    I think the new FDC will have pic lables (I heard the newest one before the Ohio one does?) but the existing ones (Ceder Falls for sure) doesn't. Backroom would be over the moon if our stuff came in already labled, lol. BCoding is what takes 60-70 percent of the backstocking time after a truck...

    Archived I was in Chemicals & Pets the other day

    You're right about the difference between being Hazardous Materials trained and the next level up with is ERT. I know all ETL's and TL's are ERT; PA's as well. I would have thought cart attendants would be as well due to the nasty nature of their job but maybe not? Anyway, if you took a quiz...

    Archived Time off request issue

    Oh hon, this has been happening to me ALL THE TIME, probably since November. I never used to have a problem (the system used to be overzealous, actually; if I'd request off a partial day it would give me the whole day off anyway), but ever since October/November, I've had approved time off...

    Archived New Red Card Pitches?

    Thank the LORD I am not a cashier so I don't have to worry about this. If I HAD to cashier though, I would do my normal ask "Would you like to open a free Redcard and save five percent every time you shop here?" and if they gave me grief, "I'm sorry, it's part of my job to ask". And then leave...

    Archived I was in Chemicals & Pets the other day

    It's hard for me to remember sometimes that all most people are cleared to clean up is food and water. I'm a PA and I worked FA prior to that so I've had my Hazardous Materials training signed off for years. Some glass broke on the SF the other day and I started to clean it up and a salesfloor...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    One thing I noticed about your freezer pics is all the vendor pizza...I know the Superbowl is coming up, but your vendor should not be leaving you so much product if there is CLEARLY no place to put it. If all that backstock has been sitting there that long, it needs to be pushed out again. I...

    Archived Flow Team & Box Cutters

    I refuse to use our box cutters; I don't get along with sharp edges in general, and our box cutters are beyond unsafe. I use a pen, my fingers, or keys. People look at me funny, but I'll take two extra seconds per box over ripped pants and cut fingers any day.

    Archived I Volunteer as...

    I did the Read Across America Dr. Suess in schools thing last year. Havent done any others but I would say our store does a volunteer event every other month or so...we have a couple people who are really big into paying forward and such so there's a decent turnout. Tends to be the same people...

    Archived What VIPs will lose their jobs since the breach? What company changes can we expect?

    ^^ Yeah, but remember that the CSC is going to be FLOODED with TM calls in the next week or so, so if you've got to call, try doing it ASAP since you may have trouble getting through closer to the 13th and after. And since you need to be able to access EHR to put in time off requests and...

    Archived Backstocking Produce Questions

    Yeah, but watch it because the quantity the system spits out is not always correct. For instance, our tomatoes will print with a larger quantity then is actually in the box, so our counts were WAY off because they were A) being received and B) being backstocked by the system's quantity, not...

    Archived Extreme Couponers

    As someone who used a lot of coupons for a few years, I always get a bit touchy when people whine and complain about couponers because for the most part, both the couponer and the cashier want the same result, but there's just so much misunderstanding and prejudice that it's hard. I find that...

    Archived My store no longer working with team member's school schedules

    The thing is, I think Target likes to hire younger TM's because they promote the same image and brand as the ETL's do...young, hip and trendy. If they eliminated all students from their stores, their workforce wouldn't be portraying the brand image they prefer. Plus, you get 'em while they're...
