    Archived Heat Exhaustion

    We have a no drinks policy. But I have an LOD that apparently can't work without a Starbucks cup within arms reach. I legit never see them without a coffee. And they just leave them wherever. To the point where it pisses off other LODs... And I almost passed out twice working in my FR because of...

    Archived Getting Called In

    I did whatever the situation dictates. If I see the call and can answer I do. If I miss it, I listen to to the voicemail. Nine times out of ten they specifically leave messages saying to call only if able. But that's my store. If they don't indicate one way or another, I call back. But I was a...

    Archived Store Morale

    Seriously, I always really appreciated a compliment. I get that it's a job && "perfection" is my goal every shift. But seriously, take a moment to acknowledge something positive as you pass by. Even if you have to come tell me I need to do x and y over, or this better , etc - give me a quick...

    Archived How well do you think a 'The Break Room' Target store would run?

    I'd come back to a mythical store to meet you all && do operator, so long as it also entailed FR.

    Archived Can somebody explain to me how the scheduling process works?

    When I inquired at my store (just out of curiosity and bc I was friends with the newly promoted hr tm) I was told that she uses the computer generated schedule to create a baseline, provides it to th respective tls who make changes (favorites (absolutely) && generally trying to set stronger...

    Archived Cashiers and salesfloor TMs, what do you wish you could tell the GSTL/GSA at your store?

    Jiminy Christmas. I couldn't fathom how my store would function without a cordless phone. Unless I was utterly swamped with fr guests & front end reshop, I was generally expected to not spend much time hanging out in the fr. The only exception being if I or AP had flagged someone as being...

    Archived Cashiers and salesfloor TMs, what do you wish you could tell the GSTL/GSA at your store?

    just know if you are mean/rude from the jump off - you aren't going to get much sympathy or support from me. I will happily come up and ring when needed - but don't yell for a response as soon as the call has gone off .... I'm not just a magical backup fairy waiting for your call -- I'm busting...

    Archived Why are they hiring someone else?

    I don't really understand the hiring process for spot. Just a few months ago we were trying to hire a bunch of people - most notably they were looking for 5 hires in softlines. They got one, and ended up cross training him .... So he immediately hated softlines, and gave up those shifts as much...

    Archived Random Reshop/Go Backs/Flexi

    It all becomes normal after a while. The thing I find most "odd" is finding dairy / frozen items shoved in shoes. Two times stick out ; once I had someone blatantly jam a gallon of milk from their cart into the aisle of shoes on the racetrack as I was walking back to the fr -- facing them, eye...

    Archived Have you ever had someone just up and leave in the middle of a shift...?

    I dropped in to my store tonight - I was saying hi to one of my fav friends who was coming to hang out with me after her shift && buy some snacks based on what she wanted. I walked in and my store was the worst I've ever seen it. Apparently all of hardlines except a new hire called off && then...

    Archived Do You Use Your Phone at Work?

    Idk. I know for a fact that none of my leaders would say a word to me if/ when I have my phone out on the floor. That being said I know it's because of who I am. If I have my phone out 99%+ of the time it is only for work. I'm kind of lame && really not that interested in responding to anyone...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    Haha. That is amazing. I had an LOD tell me recently that the shoes were on the do list for me during a closing shift as FR. I responded with "And exactly what day isn't shoes technically on the "needs help" list?" -- The response -- It's always on the list. Yeah. It's always on the list &&...

    Archived Good Bye Food Avenue

    Maybe it's just me, but I would never consider planning to eat a meal in a Target or any other stand alone retail store regardless of the fair offered. You may get me to pick up a snack item (I.e. A pretzel or popcorn) if really desperate. But when I think of going to get my shampoo & desk lamp...

    Archived Your weekly hours and position?

    Soft lines, almost exclusively FR and I maintain generally 34-36 when I had open avail. Some weeks would be closer to 30-32 but that was rare. My lowest scheduled was 25 during a dead period && I picked up 2 shifts to get almost 40... I will say when I bumped down to part time I asked to try and...

    Archived Cashier Speed Foolishness

    I really do have to question why any part of the customers actions are used in cashier speed metric ; I.e. Why I get dinged red for some jerk wad who waits to dig to the bottom of their trash bag to locate their debit card after I hit total. .... Like I can't do anything more than mention that...

    MEGATHREAD Hang Me (The Softlines Thread)

    Ughhh that's the worst. :( at my store we have a tm, who was hired seasonally && no one expected to be kept on.... Yet she is still here six months later & really no better at her job. She walks with zero percent purpose -- I've watched her meander from her section back to the FR to get one...

    Archived Rumors that spot will remain open Sunday's until 11

    Like I said I don't think it'd be wise. Nor do I find it that useful for most 24 hour stores. The only place I frequent often that is 24 hrs is the grocery store && that's because most of the time I don't feel like grocery shopping until after work and I close 95% of my shifts. But I'm almost...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    I do this sometimes - but only when for some reason it seems the front stocked product isn't as cold as the back stocked. Although, Im usually doing this at the grocery stores & not Spot.
