sales floor

After years of working at Target and trying to promote diversified people I find it almost impossible. I am almost retired but was cross- trained at target back in the day. I grew up in a different culture one where I was happy when people who couldn't even speak English could advance due to...

I'm just curious if anyone's store is seeing any glimpse of improvement? My store is sliding farther and farther into the abyss of failure, and as they keep trying new ways to kick the can down the road all of the good employees are leaving. This of course, leaves us with the idiots who don't...

So lately, like most other stores, things are tough. I've been without an ETL for a few long months (S&E) so lately my partner and I have been doing some of the ETL work for our area, without slipping tooooo much on service (we have slipped a little). Meanwhile there are tons of challenges...

Are green metros only for market? The boss took the green metros and replaced them with weak gray ones. They are smaller and don’t hold anything. The green metros are going to style.

Basically the title. BTC is peak for my store, which means increased freight and a lot of new team members. On top of that one of my fellow GM TLs has covid and another is on vacation, plus our specialty ETL just quit so my ETL has been spending more time in specialty. This means sometimes I'm...

So the majority of my paint, glue, hooks, fasteners, locks and floor protection just went straight to 70% markdown. That's 2 endcaps and nearly 2 full aisles. This isn't normal. Especially, since I don't have any pogs to replace those with (at least not for another month+). Anyone else's store...

Full disclosure, I no longer work at Spot, but my daughter does, and she just transferred stores. She just likes to vent to her mom! At the store we both worked at, I used to close back in 2008-2011 or so. If the store closed at 10pm your shift would say 10:15pm but it was really code for...

This year we've been asked to add risers to the salesfloor toy aisles. We're a low volume store, so this is a first for us. I was anticipating that the planograms would be different to accommodate the additional shelf at the top of the section. However, the few POGs that have been released...

So about 3 weeks ago my store started doing overnight to try and help with excess amount of freight. I was wondering if any other store was doing this? It’s not working, it actually made things so much worse. Just seeing if it was a store decision or corporate.

I work a store in Southern California. It's been really hot here that last week or so, but it seems the AC in the store hasn't adjusted. I work in a 2 story store and while the 1st floor is very warm, the 2nd floor is downright miserable. It's been this way for about a week. Management is...

Sooooo at the store I am currently working at ive been there for awhile and had left for a year. I recently returned and have noticed alot of difference in the racial aspect of the work environment. Before I had left for a year I KID YOU NOT I witnessed a upper position woman supervisor (fancy...

Currently the GM1 Lead for 3+ years. Never had any problems with my custom blocks when I took over. They’re actually in order and could easily adjust every quarter without any problems. Now our inbound/backroom refresh is in a few days and they want me to change my numbers staring at 1 (ours...

Curious how many leaders are doing these. It was all in the April planner and I've been doing them about a month now. Whats the cadence? I'm doing them weekly and they take so much longer than a regular business unit review.

Okay so I work in the FR, and this guest came to try two pairs of pants on, so he asks me to look up a different store to see if they have the size he’s looking for cause we didn’t have it. So I look and he asks for the address so I give it to him. Then he hands me one pair of the pants and I...

It looks like shoplifting is increasing quite a bit at our store. I've personally seen way more thefts being pulled off right in front of my eyes than was the case 2 years ago. I'm told the District is adding more restrictions on what AP is allowed to do. We are seeing a lot of AP staff quit...

Not sure if I posted this in the correct forum This started as a rumor but now rumors have been confirmed but no additional information. Does anyone have any information on Home and Seasonal becoming a part of Specialty Sales?

I’m currently working at Lowe’s and thinking of switching over to Target. Will they allow me to work during the day on weekdays and weekends? At Lowe’s I tried changing my availability on on weekends so I could work early mornings to the afternoon by my supervisor yelled at me and forced me to...

What do I do to stop receiving more of a certain product? I've done three, maybe four, chat bot sessions for a certain kind of mouthwash. I have over 100 bottles now that two more cases arrived today. Can't send it back to the DC because it contains alcohol. The always-helpful chat bot told me...
