We used to have a couple posters in super high volume stores, but I'm not sure if they still come on here. A good portion of TBR membership is from low-to-mid-volume stores.

[Coqui]

It's true I'm from an AAA+ store.

 

[MissPick]

I work at an AAA+ store.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

What is the question?

 

[On6]

So do I.

 

[Targe]

Luckily, I do not. But with our recent FDC (2K~), I'm not so sure.

We need answers to unanswered questions.

 

[Bosch]

My store is one step below from coquiazul. So if I can answer I will.

How do you know your store's volume rating? Newbie here...

[HardlinesFour]

I'm from a AA and a AA+ Volume store. Does that make me qualified to answer high volume questions?

And what is workbench and where does one find it?

Workbench is Spot's in-network website that you can access using your TM Number in-store. You likely used it when initially training for your position as a Team Member.

AAA+ stores are a different breed. A friend if mine was in one. They have a ridiculous amount of traffic and sales. With an abnormal number of leaders/TMs plus the overnight processes, it makes for a retail environment most of us haven't experienced lol. At this store there were 6 SFTLS plus 3 electronics TLs. The thing is that any store above $76.5M in sales gets an extra ETL and 2 TLs for every additional $10M. Combine the extra leadership and payroll for TMs plus guest traffic, it makes for a way different process.

I feel like AAA+ could potentially be so much different that it just can't compare with stores even one org chart lower. Each level has a range of around $9 million, but once you get to AAA+ the sky is the limit. It could be double the sales of a AAA volume.

For reference: Login required - TBRWiki

• AAA+ $85M and above
• AAA $77.3 - $85
• AA+ $69.5 - $77.3
• AA $60.5 - $69.5
• A+ $51.5 - $60.5
• A $42 - $51.5
• B $32.5 - $42
• C $23 - $32.5
• D $23 or less

ULV is an acronym meaning ultra-low volume and is typically used in reference to D and C volume stores.

I am in either AAA or AAA+ IIRC from when I checked last year. Gonna check for this year.

Anyway, for out volume, am I in GM or ULV when looking at the promotional signing guudeline for hours schedule for ad takedown, ad setup and ad prep?

Well if you're a AAA store you're definitely not ULV.

 

[WinterRose]

so GM then. Thanks =)

I was hoping it there would be something else bec it's a huge area to cover when doing ad setup. ^^;;

 

[redeye58]

My former store was AA but went down to A+ a few years back.
Indications are they may move back up to AA this year.

I won't go into specifics but storewide we have about 25 TLs. I don't know everyone from overnight so it could be a bit more, but yep. The number of ETLs we have is ridiculous too.

And just to clarify, that number includes our TLs for Starbucks, Food Ave, HR, and AP. Also 2 SrTLs.

 

[semantics]

AA store wouldn't call us high volume based on number of TLs but then again that's probably how we always make payroll easily.

HRTL...only AAA and up have those lol. That position was taken away years and years ago from my store.

It takes time to adjust back to a "normal" store.
