Hey guys,
So I'm fairly new to Target and I was recently placed as an ETL-AP. I've been dressing like a manager since I got here since I've been in stores that get lots of attention from group, I'm talking I see either my group VP or APML at least every other week. I also see my DTL and APBP pretty damn often as a result, and my STL is constantly on me about being ready to shake hands and kiss babies.
However, I don't like to avoid apprehensions. I'm in a high risk store with a pretty small team, and I feel odd trying to get them to support me when I can't do something simple like run out on an apprehension with them, especially considering I'm a fairly big guy and my APS is small enough to get tossed around pretty bad if things get hairy. I've ripped three long sleeve shirts, two pairs of khakis, and given myself shin splints for days from sprinting in dress shoes. I tried sticking the in-soles from my running shoes in but I still can't get much speed going, not to mention I've cracked my head open on an EAS alarm because I've got no traction.
So what do you guys recommend? Sorry, again I know this is kind of silly, but it's been bugging me since I started with Target and none of my peers go out on apprehensions so when I asked them they just kind of looked at me wide-eyed and told me there's no reason to be out there in the first place.
Thanks!
