//im seeking feedback as to what fellow TM's would do given the situation. i was torn which forum to post in. if i opened the thread in the wrong location i apologize in advance// wall of text go; i've been with my store for just shy of five years. i can't say i was always dying to join...

A few stores in my district have Kodak TMs. At every location they operate service desk at low volume stores during gap coverage or back up... The lines are very blurred. Last i was told the deal was carry forwarded two years. While a Kodak TM can refuse to work service desk or the target side...

a friend is sending me pics from her store in the OC which is getting the same remodel. the shocking thing to me is the removal of red, the grey/white continues throughout.

on giving guests starbucks or free giftcards for applying; just coming from a perspective with a good amount of front lanes exposure. your paying people to apply. that's also a slippery slope, could you be giving "gifts" to people you know who are applying, etc. repeat appliers. are cashiers...

its interesting how many stores i've found keep their GSA team at 30+ hours. I dont think as many could properly staff the position without offering hours as the perk of the job.

returning any item thats more than %50 used is foolish, so hopefully that stays put. our communication is to price no receipt returns to the guests wants, no questions asked. in the past month we've fallen to the cusp or below of our sales goal. pay roll is rough. coming from a high theft store...

conversion to set goals increased required red card output. with the rumblings about new leadership not being so hot on the %5 giveaway and knowing they plan to increase margins steadily over the next few years; i predict the change is getting one final squeeze out of the red card program. we...

thanks for the welcome(s)! it makes sense, grocery is a loser on profit. selling specialized or "high end"/visually marketable product will help profit margin. also, attracting guests with fatter wallets through the store. the question is how does this appeal to suburban targets or super...

we were told it would be corporate level and done over 2 years. they plan to cut costs on stores and supply chain (supply chain more so), to invest in mobile/online. ship from store will become a huge push, 350+ stores will get the feature this year. overall, everything new sounds like its in...

if they are going to drive this type of concept in store, they should include it into cartwheel as part of a unified in store experience... at minimum it should be part of the target app itself. building out a separate app just for this is silly, confusing and not user friendly. ... also, if...

on the upside, we are getting the product... just insanely late. we received a wall of Christmas two weeks after the point and into the 90% off sale. that's about whats happening with everything this month.

being at a super target, i feel a bit luckier. most food near its time that can't be sold, including damaged, goes into the breakroom. heavy on keeping beverages in the breakroom. food ave typically puts qmosd food into the breakroom (which i think is fair versus the amount of waste FA typically...

numbers in our area seemed to be strong, for the overall weekend. friday it self was huge. bigger than stores here seemed to expect. last year the actual friday sale was tepid. traffic picked up after 9am and slowed after 1pm. this year traffic was intense from 9am and increased into the...

since is the closest thread to the topic i've seen... the ipods for registry are awful. i mean, so awful guests leave after trying to work with the device for 30 minutes setting up a registry. its literally been the same for every store in our area who has rolled them out. even on a good day...

its great to know in situations like this, communication from client support or corporate works (HAHAHAHAHA). going on the 6th hour of this. only found out we weren't alone from neighboring store GSTL's calling the next person to inform us. so much for the killer sales we were making and...

pushing TM's to sign up for red cards (or signing up for red cards yourself to increase numbers) is active at my store... and i hate it. theres no upside to getting a TM to apply for a credit card they aren't getting repeatably. red cards have become a holy grail. the sad point being that...

i've only seen this problem at stores where TL's or GSAs don't communicate proper coupon handling to the cashiers. i know in my area, many of the cashiers are college students who aren't going to care about a coupon's value at their $8.25, 4 hour shift job at target. k1. it varies and requires a...

it sounds about the same as far as its implementation in my district. they are pushing service desk TM's to now work as greeters and red card pushers in front of the desk on your down time. its silly and reminds me how obsessed with red cards my stores ETL's are. also, if you want a greeter...

this thread is interesting, comparing to my own store. its largely known for our area stores what you can expect based on your likability and years of service. reviews often have little insight into your actual work career with the company, its only as good as the person writing the review. I've...
