We hold phones and keys up at GS in a locked box separate from regular lost and found. But people are surprisingly good about noticing lost phones or keys. The hard part is finding a phone on the floor before someone else swipes it which is sadly common. For things like lost purses, especially...

My store was open until midnight last year and I got the closing shift because I made it clear I wasn't a Christmas person and it was actually really restful for those who don't have families to get home to--people have definitely given up hope of getting anything decent as gifts so you can...

Ohh, I really like this idea. You could even make the displays really fancy and have a platform at shin or waist height--that'd keep everything off the floor and tied down but still easily seen and accessible so the guests could touchy-touchy to their heart's content. I'd put a call box on...

Thankfully my store has resisted the 730 unload process--mostly because they'd have to fire half their flow team cause they're not guest-friendly in any sense of the word. They push like nothing else but they're not there to be friendly, which is totally ok. But we have big trucks (for our store...

I've had vendors complain to me about Target's push policy since evidently everywhere else they stock it's either pull (so you're the one the guest is running into) or "whatever works best". I keep telling them to complain to people who can actually make a difference in the policy but noooo...

I wish they would do little mini exclusives in grocery, too. Just take over one of the gondolas in the middle of that one valley with something like local farm-goods, local businesses, or an exclusive one-time release for some bigger companies--they always have something funky coming out of R&D...

A lot of revisions have looked like that lately. It's embarrassing. For whoever is pushing them out to the stores.

Aw but that's logical instead of keeping everyone in the dark on where new items are and where we moved old items and how would we ever keep our fifteen facings of new movies like Defiance then????? And then we'd have to really train someone instead of throwing them into a section with the...

I'm more assertive than I used to be before working at Target. I've also never been screwed over by jobs as badly as I have been here. But on the flip side I've never had such encouraging coworkers. It's been my fellow team mates that have argued for me in the past and encouraged me to stand up...

Even if you don't negotiate a cheaper cost and you do pay $80/month for internet...if you factor in networking opportunities, money-making opportunities*, stress-relief, it definitely replaces tv, etc, etc, etc....it's worth the cost. It's far more efficient to cut money elsewhere (like shopping...

It depends a bit on every store's schedule but mine is prepped to set it next week but we may be behind schedule. I haven't talked to plano recently so I don't have an exact date but I'm part of a team ripping apart BTS this week and clearancing/backstocking it all (wheeee).

I know other countries have shopping frenzies like we do--it's just different days. Heck, Canada's started to do a version of Black Friday (after raiding our stores for years). Crazy shopping to the point of trampling deaths? I'm not sure. But we are also the third most populated country on the...

Maybe lingo it up though. You know, make it official-sounding.

"Hey, I notice you have a lot on your plate. Would you mind if I took a few hours to give these aisles a through once-over for a few days to get them straightened out? I think it could help you and your team with AAR and will set you up for success going into holiday rush."

Every last ETL and TL has a nickname at our store. Slight problem--tms weren't good at hiding them and so every last ETL and TL knows their own nicknames. There's one ETL who has an...interesting one...who will actually respond to it like it's their regular name. It's weird.

Anon--I have a wicked dark sense of humor. I like my job and I'm really, really good at it. Me not liking the focus on RCs has nothing to do with how I feel about the Big Spot Who Guides Our Steps and everything to do with the fact I know a few things about personal finance (however I gently...

If you're at my store transferring to a different department does nothing to escape the never-ending redcard spiel. Hell, I've heard a joking/not-joking ETL ask the fitting room if they've vibed up the benefits of the redcard with guests. -.- And I know for a fact they're performancing out some...

Woo! Thank you for reposting those.

Oh boo. That makes sense. My store doesn't have any yet but we're "supposed" to get some before holiday season. Oh man I wish but I have no photoshop skillz, sorry! (this is to salesfloor10--sorry, not doing good one the quote thing at the moment) Circle9, I think they're talking about like...

Sorry if I missed this in the pilots thread or elsewhere but did anyone else see the small blurb about "Coming soon: an exciting new registry experience just for Holiday. Stay tuned for details!"? Should I be hoping it's some ship-to-home service? I'm crossing everything I got this isn't some...
