    Archived Bowling

    Why did Target get rid of bowling? It's more efficient and allows push for a department to be all done in 1 round, instead of taking multiple trips to grab a vehicle,push that vehicle, then walk to the back to throw away trash, cardboard, and backstock, then bring that vehicle back to...

    Archived Dry cracked hands for inbound TM

    I've recently started as an inbound/flow team member, but I've noticed my hands getting dry and cracked from handling all the boxes. Everyone else at my store seems to be find from what I've seen. Does anyone else have any issues too? I thought about getting a pair of work gloves but I don't...

    Archived Flow team lead/Inbound team lead

    As of recent my team lead for Flow has been staying in the back and just re-organizing all the boxes on the u boats and flats for pretty much their whole shift and only helps on the floor when everyone else is gone from flow besides two or three people and the truck is huge. All my previous team...

    No One To Open Doors - When Can We Leave?

    As title says. Coworker and I are scheduled sfs today at 4 am. There's usually an overnight team but they were off today. So there's absolutely no one here to let us inside - and the next person won't be here until near 6. At what point can we leave? I've tried calling the store a few times...

    Archived New TM advice needed

    My first day was today. I was put on inbound. 6:30-11. So I helped w the line (?) sorting boxes from the conveyor belt. First off it was so hot I couldn’t breath. Second some of the boxes were way too heavy for me to lift to the top shelf of the cart. I started feeling like a panic attack was...

    Archived Change in Unload Times?

    When the new unload process started the info received from corp. stated a 4 hr unload time. I read it in the information paperwork about the new process. Now our ETL and STL want us to be done in 2 hrs regardless of truck size. If we follow the process the correct way without any deviation...

    Archived What do you do when they eliminate your job?

    I was hired years ago to work on Flow. When the hours changed from four to six, it was a problem. Now, it's even worse with them wanting me to come in after the store opens. These hours-coming in so late- will not work for me, and I told them so. (a tl said they would try to help get me in...

    Archived Jack Of All Trades and Master Of None

    When I was hired, I was hired for the Flow Team, but have found on my schedule as of late that I am scheduled more on the floor in Hardlines than anything. This isn't a complaint and I enjoy any opportunity, but has this happened to anyone else? Also coming up I will be doing flow, hardlines and...

    Archived Repack Push

    Was wondering if there was any way to quickly and efficiently get repacks finished so that I can stop hearing the same thing over and over. It would be a normal day, pushing 2 or 3 flats to my area, I'd get those done after 30 minutes to an hour, each (I work office, stat, and HIPA, so there's a...

    Archived Dedicated stockers

    I need some help from some HL TLs. How do you guys get "more" out of your dedicated stockers. Most of them in my area are getting their truck done and getting pulls done most of the time. But I am being told they need to be doing more. Working clearance, filling end caps, building new ones...

    It's a long story and I might omit some things but here goes my situation: I work on an overnight specialty team with HIGH turnover.

    Archived Repacks

    Just a quick question... I have been with "Big Red" for about 8 months and I never got an explanation of what a repack is. Ok, I know it's just random things DC sends us to put out on the sales floor, but why do why get them when we get truck too? Just curious.
