    TL living with AP-ETL

    I lived with my best friend and fellow TM. Eventually I was promoted to TL, but the closest store was 3 hours away. There was no issue for me. I would give them a heads up that you're aware of it, but if it's a non issue why bother snitching on them? Are they good at their jobs? Are their...

    So has anybody here figured out the best way to take a double yet? Took one today but it's impossible without having some vehicles staged on the floor which is obviously a no no.

    Are you light on hardlines too? When i was short staffed, I supplemented with hardlines tm's. Also if you guys are this bad right now, your HR etl must be in deep shit with they're HRBP. Our goal was to hire 90 seasonal employees store wide and it doesn't sound like youre anywhere close to that.

    Something is wrong with this picture. If you're a high volume store like mine, you should be seeing plenty of hours in a+a. Where are the hours being funneled? Logistics?

    E2e hasn't really impacted us negatively. I've found that stores who don't support the e2e teams properly are the ones who struggle. We get the hours we need, training is spot on, and I make sure that softlines either has a smart huddle or mid day zone on the worst tables. In my store the...

    Yeah, the only way to protect our sales is to have someone replenishing the floor all day everyday. During 4th Q I'll have 2 people doing it, 1 for rtw and for bgi. It's the only thing I can think of. Talk about waste of man power. I'll also be dropping a lot of money, pushing for two containers...

    Well it finally happened. I pushed hard against it, but I walked with the dtl today and now we have to have 1 per size of everything. I'm going to order more containers to sit outside and more zbars. Backroom is full and outside the store is the only place to go. Stay strong softlines.

    Have you tried doubling it up, as in two rows on one side of an aisle? I'm running out of room as well and will be doing this soon. We end up taking space that was going to be used for overflow of toys, but the toy team is just going to have to be aggressive with getting product out.

    2 per size is unrealistic. I can understand if you have something bulky like sweaters. Everytime we get a walk my opp is to lighten the volume a little bit more on the floor. I give them some pushback especially now that its 4th Q and we're all drowning in pj's/onesies. I'm trying to set a...

    That's tough. There should never be a day where you do all that solo. In my store we put market and softlines first, and front load those teams with hours. Hardlines is suffering for it, but in the scheme of things folding a table is more time consuming then zoning an aisle. The profit margins...

    You push your entire truck solo?! I can't even fathom how that's allowed. At my store since we now schedule according to guest traffic, there is no expected time for the truck to finish. I told my team that 12 is the latest that we should be pushing. So the two ladies I inherited for the truck...

    Nope, A volume. I give direction to have whatever area I'll be in that night to be zoned and reshop complete. Its not perfect and there are areas that go 2-3 days without getting a good zone, but it's all we can manage at this point. The only way we're keeping our heads above water is by...

    If our DTL comes in to even one z bar in sight, we're doing it wrong. My team has to hide in the closet to sort, and make sure only guest carts are seen. It's tough since now with summer I have lines of people waiting to use the FR. Just set jewelry/ accessories last night. The vmg's were even...

    We're going through the same exact thing. We're two weeks into A+A and I just got most of my fixtures (moveable walls etc.) Dayside is no longer coming clean on reshop, leaving 2-3 z's a night. Zoneing is a struggle since I priotize reshop to keep the FR looking like a "hotel lobby".

    Archived team night out?

    I used to work at a target in a small college town, it was inevitable that tl's would run into tm's off the clock at bars for karaoke/trivia night or any other event that took place in the 5 or so bars in town. We would end up hanging out and drinking together. We never really made plans with...

    I...did not think of that. I've only been to the targets in my district, with mine being the highest volume, and I'm only an A. So my experience with bigger targets is zero.

    You must be a high volume store to be placed just in F. Do you have a team? Or is it just you responsible for being e2e in F? What time do you start pushing freight? Is e2e storewide for you? How do you balance register backup calls and pushing a truck during the day? In my store e2e is...

    Archived No more presentation and pricing

    So...who's setting seasonal? Back to school? Halloween? Christmas? I'm assuming tm's from all across the store are going to have to work together to set it?

    Yeah that would be shitty. We're trying to share tm's across departments so that they don't lose hours. If anything I'm more then willing to absorb some of those Plano tm's. It seens like logistics is getting cut more and more. I used to think ETL Log was where I wanted to go, but with all these...

    I'm going e2e soon. I'm now responsible for making sure the truck is pushed, pricing in softlines, hanging backstop, in stocks, the rfid scan in softlines as well as home decor, and all Plano workload (but I already had that). Thankfully as a habit I train all my team members in everything...
