consumables

So, Target is my first job. I was passed for the application and was given two choices between deli or consumables. I chose consumables because I believed that stocking would be suitable for me however my ideal choice was mainly produce or the beauty department. My first day in the consumables...

I was hired as the food and beverage team lead of my GM store about four months ago. I got one week of training in Starbucks and one week of training in Consumables where basically all I learned was how to make drinks and push truck. After about a month at my store we started the 1 for 1’s. I...

So it’s my 3rd day in a new workcenter (consumables). I’ve been at Target and on the salesfloor before, just it’s at a different store now. I get in, look at the break out, work my 2 u-boats of freight, then backstock the remaining, all in an hour and a half. I do a light zone of the aisle...

Hey guys! First post, and I felt it necessary, because I’m pretty lost. Brand new to Target, external hire as a Consumables TL. Here’s my situation...I’m currently training at another store, for less than a week, and the following week I’ll have Starbucks training at my home store, for the...

I'm trying to figure out the Food Safety course that Food leaders, SRTLs, and above have to take. You know the all day course? Also any ideas on the course name/certication and on how long it is valid for? I took the course last year and need to update my resume with certifications but don't...

Whenever I get there, clock in and get my zebra and walkie, how do I know what specific task I’m supposed to do? I work in consumables so do I just go to consumables and look for familiar faces?

Hey everyone.. I've referred to this site more than a few times and it's always so helpful. So seriously, thank you all so much. I'm a FTL and this market roll out definitely keeps me on my toes. Anyway just wanted give a quick intro and say thanks for all the tips. Not always this cheesy btw...

My Background I've been working at Target since late November 2016 in my store's "consumables" department (we're one of those Targets with PFresh and grocery, but not at Super Target standards) I've become pretty confident in my abilities as a TM, but I'm always willing to ask questions if I...

Seriously though. I've been in consumables for a few weeks and I'm not sure why so much gets tossed, especially in P-fresh. I worked at a grocery store for quite awhile before Target and I really feel like many of the practices from my former job could be helpful at Target.

I have been working in a smaller target for a couple of months and our market team is fairly small, our TL with two market members and a p.a. in the morning then one mid-day and one or sometimes two closers. I've been talking to my p.a. and I guess there is suppose to be two p.a. for market and...

New in role Sr.CTL here and just wondering how our store schedules the consumable team. Like how many closers? How long? If you know how many hours you guys use that would be great as well. Right now I only have a person to open and a person to close, thats it. So it is pretty hard to close and...

Hey! I just want to know how many of you deal with working in the consumables area of grocery- it's the place that gets the really stupid questions most of the time but it is entertainment for me anyway. How do you guys feel?

I am a PA in Market, was just promoted about 5-6 months ago. I work in an A Volume store (which I think is high Volume) store. (We were top 20/1800 stores in Volume Black Friday 2012) And every given month anywhere from 25-29% of my stores volume leaves through my work center in Market. Even...
