    MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

    The difference between pulling GM and a Starbucks barista, is twofold. One, you're messing with another brand, and that brand will not like that the hours that are supposed to be dedicated towards their brand are being used to cashier. But also, and more importantly, Starbucks is a Food Service...

    MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

    As a Food Service TL, I can tell you it's not in Starbucks Barista core roles to backup cashier, and there is no way in hell the front end is taking my Baristas to do so. Even if they don't have Guests, there are so many things that we have to do to keep the area food safe, that there's never...

    MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

    As far as lighting goes, there are absolutely stores where the lighting would save money. There was an occasion where I was walking out with the LOD, who had armed and turned off the lights. When we got outside, we double checked the doors were locked, and one of them ended up being broken. So I...

    Archived New Checklane Movie Fixture

    The piece is designed to slot in behind the sign header channel. There's a little groove. Also, there's grooves in the main fixture itself for the screws from the piece to slide over from the outside. Now, my store was sent two left-hand side ones (the screws are in slightly different...

    Archived Cash office training!

    Like Rock, most of the time, our GSAs are watching the lanes. We all get scheduled on Mondays and Fridays--two GSAs as cashier, 1 as cash office--and then we each have 2-3 days as GSTL, and 2 days off. So usually, our cashier that's trained in Cash Office is actually the one in there the most...

    Archived Cash office training!

    Mine isn't, either. Most of the people that work in the Cash Office have email access, because we're GSA's, but there's one that isn't, and she doesn't have an email account. Although, based on that fact of needing email access, I tried to get her one, and they said they'd look into it, but...

    Archived Pre-paid scratch cards

    Most of the cards do not state that they are unable to be returned if scratched off. But either way, like everyone said, the system knows if it's been used. If it has, it gets defected RED-TOSS, and deactivated--which means the company who sells them knows that that particular number on the card...

    Archived Photo Lab going, going, gone?

    I know the one I used to work at is getting the Film Processor taken away, but from what I hear, the actual DLS Printer is staying...

    Archived Check-less debit pilot?

    Actually, the checkless debit-card application pilot is rather lame. It actually doesn't help what-so-ever. Here's how it works: All cash lanes get a yellow fake check. When someone wants to apply for a Target debit card and they don't have a check on them, the cashier can use this fake check...

    Archived Defected vs Non Defected

    Actually, Fix-a-Mistake shouldn't void payments except for the "Wrong Payment" option. Double Scan just returns the price of one (or more) items and adds that item back into the inventory without sorting it into a cart or allowing for defecting. Wrong Price just returns the item and resells it...

    Archived Applying on EHR

    Actually, you can only apply for one promotion at a time. I had this same issue a couple of months ago. I had to wait until my first application was declined to go for the other position.

    Archived I applied to become a perishables assistant (PA) at my store

    Honestly, no matter what, they're generally gonna wait a set amount of time before offering the position to anyone. Essentially, even if they already know who they're gonna pick, they "have to" let other people at least apply. So basically, you can't make it go any faster than it already would...

    Archived Tm number

    Nope. I'm not sure how, but it's been different in the two stores I've been at. My first store, you could make a speed ID, but it'd ask for your pin when you scan it, so it really only saved you from entering your actual TM#. My current store, it just works full out. Personally, I have the...

    Archived 9 Global Issues today

    Unfortunately, the off-site data storage is necessary for Target. I mean, there's no way every store can house all the data of the entire company (in terms of storage space--as far as data accuracy would go, that would make it infinitely more impossible), so those things that were down--receipt...

    Archived More things for cashiers to stress over?

    Yeah, I knew that there's more things that it can be sold with, but the sign that's supposed to be at all the registers shows all the big things that cashiers are now "required" to ask if the Guest wants a service plan for--TVs, game systems, the like. But there won't be a prompt like REDcards...

    Archived More things for cashiers to stress over?

    I don't think that there are prompts on the POS for it. That's the reason the posting is supposed to be at all the registers, is to show the cashiers which sort of items they should be asking if they want a service plan for. If you wait for a prompt, you're never gonna be asking anybody.

    Archived Interesting video from customer trying to return open box electronic item

    Technically, GSA/GSTLs are supposed to wear them (although no-one at my store does)... it gives what the GSTL hears more privacy so they can be given heads-up on certain issues. As for carts, it's nice to have because it's right next to your ear, so you can hear it over the carts easier.

    Archived Interesting video from customer trying to return open box electronic item

    The fact of the matter is that the person he is talking to--who IS the GSTL, by the way (You'll notice he's not the Service Desk TM, who is behind the desk, and is also wearing a headset)--is trying to let him know that what he is asking for is not possible. Obviously, some people here who are...

    Archived Starbucks question

    Actually, that's not the case. The cup itself should be filled to the top with the drink itself. The domed lid makes up for the size of the whipped cream. Plus, there are hot drinks that come with whipped cream, too (like mochas).

    Archived I got the GSA position

    No guides at the moment. I'm not a GSA (yet--I'm actually applying for it too), but I've done about 7 GSA shifts anyways. Because apparently I like doing the work without the pay. <<; But anyways, here's a few tips I have: Most of your time should be spent Speedweaving. There's a lot that...
