    How does changing floor capacities affect inventory.

    For about a year I have been complaining to my TL that conveniently after the remodel and inventory last year the priorities pulls have been screwed up. Specifically if it ask me to pull everything to 100% not 75%. For example I filled an item yesterday in which the capacity was over 50 and...

    Pride merch

    Are they really pulling any pride merch? It's still up front in my store earlier today, but then I saw a news article.

    Leading Kitchen/Home

    I recently moved from leading toys/sg/entertainment/seasonal to leading stationary/kitchen/home/seasonal and I'm looking for any tips from people who have led in that area or even DBOs. How do you push efficiently? What is your process for keeping 4,578 endcaps full? How do you plan out the...

    No bikes built for over a year at my store.

    You know, I only post once a year to announce my annual anniversary at Spot. As I posted in December, I just passed my 23rd year. But I need to get this off my chest... We have not sold a bike at my store for over a year. Our bike wall has been empty, gathering dust, trash and debris over that...

    Dumbest end cap ever?

    Got started with setting new OTC end caps and one of them is so completely ridiculous. It's all Up and Up allergy meds, which should be fine - several different types, different size boxes, for adults and children. So why oh why, are the top three shelves the same two medications in the same...

    GM and food

    When applying for GM and food there is multiple roles listed. When u apply will I get assigned randomly to one? How will I know what specific role are they hiring for? Like if they are looking for people to work the Starbucks?

    Question about store on hands

    Can anyone store side help me to understand how some stores can be so well stocked while others are not? There are roughly 5 stores within a reasonable drive of my house, yet the one in my same town always has gaping holes in health and beauty. Typically makeup has tons of empty holes, hair...

    Diversity at target is a joke !

    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...

    Light at the end of the tunnel?

    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...

    Becoming more satisfied...and also more frustrated, at the same time

    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...

    Green Metro

    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.

    Advice for balancing coaching/training TMs with tasks?

    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...

    Pricing and Presentation Hardware Clearance

    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...

    How late is closing duties?

    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...

    Pricing and Presentation August Toy Reset - Adding Risers

    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...

    Is any other store doing overnight?

    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.

    Air Conditioning not working ?

    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...
