It’s difficult to say how long a cart will take, because it depends on the contents of the boxes. Between the TL and ETL’s standards, I’d follow the ETL‘s direction if possible. The ETL can cause you a lot more trouble than the TL can, and the TL won’t be upset that you are completing tasks...

I’ve heard the same at my store. More than once.

Pretty much everything, and unfortunately not for the better. Skeleton crews, unrealistic expectations and people constantly pulled from their areas to help out elsewhere, usually to help OPU meet their unrealistic expectations or backup the understaffed front end. Sales floor rarely gets any...

Years ago when I first started working at a department store, they had vending machines in the breakroom and the Employees Association got a cut of the vending machine money. I don’t remember how much they got or who owned the machines, if I ever knew, but we were encouraged to use the machines...

You have the right to remain silent. This is an excellent time to use it.

As far as I know, no, you can only be a team member at one store at a time. You can work at other stores only if you are sent there (with your consent) to work temporarily by your home store.🙁

You would think that your store would appreciate you doing TL work for TM pay and let you do your thing keeping Starbucks going, but ,no, Spot can’t ever seem to let well enough alone. I’ll let you in on a little “secret”. TLs don’t have much power over anything either, just a lot of unrealistic...

Yes, unfortunately, Target can generally move TMs wherever they want them.🙁 Also unfortunately, these moves often don’t take into account the negative impact on the areas that they are pulling TMs from, or the negative impact on long-term goals (like keeping Starbucks running properly). Robbing...

I completely agree with commie’s advice. I don’t blame you for being suspicious. Sounds like your SD doesn’t want a record of your “discussion “ anywhere that Target can access it. Personally, I wouldn’t give the SD my phone number. Sounds like nothing good would come of it. Good luck, hope it...

I remember my Army veteran Dad responding to complaints and whining teens with a smile and an offer to punch their TS card…😂

Hard to say. If the department leader said you were hired and that they will send you an email in a couple of days, it could be to let you know when your orientation will be. If they didn’t say you were hired, the email could let you know that you weren’t hired. All stores are not the same, but...

Yes, it seems like that’s how training works at Spot, at least it did at my store. The only people who get much in the way of actual training are those going into leadership who are sent from other stores to learn their roles. The rest seem to be pretty much thrown to the wolves or thrown in to...

At my store switching departments can take a while, sometimes a long while. Your TL has to be willing to let you go, and the TL of the department that you are going to has to be willing to take you. Ditto the ETLs. HR and the SD will be involved, too. Whether you can switch departments at all...

I wholeheartedly agree.

Yes, I agree that the “do not sell” items are usually recalled or defective items. We used to pull them out of the backroom and take them to receiving for disposition. Street-date stayed in the backroom, sometimes locked in electronic cages just to make sure it didn’t hit the sales floor early.

As far as I know, they are two different things. Street-dated items can’t be sold until their street date, but do not sell items for whatever reason can’t be sold ever. At least thats the view of them from the backroom where I used to dwell.😁

This is Target logic in a nutshell. Back in the day when we pulled CAFs we got as much credit toward a green metric for pulling a 1 minute BATT CAF with one item of one dcpi as we did for pulling a 55 minute CHEM CAF of 600 eaches of 80 dcpis. We had better metrics pulling all the small cafs...

Sorry that happened to you. Talk to HR in your store, you may need to come in during store hours to speak to them since HR doesn’t work overnights except on rare occasions. Your TL or ETL should be able to let you know when HR would be available, although your TL doesn’t sound all that helpful...

No, can’t see that happening.

This may have changed since I left, but RTS would sometimes drop at random times during the day, and if we didn’t keep checking and missed them, our metric could go red if there were enough of them. Either the OPU/SFS team (at that time we didn’t have drive-up) or the Service desk team would be...
