Archived My fellow TPS's

For me, it's a toss up between the first two. Especially when it's the same guest asking both.

I always see people at my store asking the TPS where "X" is

I voted for the first one.

If there's anyone in the entire store who should know where something is...

...it's AP.

Who called the rent-a-cop?

I used to get that one a lot when I was a TPS wearing the old uniform.

I actually kicked someone out of the store one time for saying that, along with other remarks that I won't repeat.

For me it was when some lady told me "I know you're going to tell me you don't work here, which is a lie, and you need to take me to your TV stands." It made me angry how presumptuous she was thinking I wasn't going to help her. If I'm not activally doing something I will help guests.

Another one that irked me was two guests, one of whom I assumed was a team member at a different store, were talking amongst themselves while I was down the same aisle as them. One guest was wondering aloud if there were any more of a certain item in the back. The other guest said, "look, there's someone who can check!" The other guest (had to have been a team member at another store) said, "She's just a TPS. They don't have mydevices and they are always rude to guests. Let's find someone else." Pissed me off, I'm never rude to any guest.

This is why when I was a TPS I actually did carry a myDevice, I also used it to do random spot check of our PI report, and other things that would go missing a lot.

I voted for the last one. That's a fellow team member go to statement...

Truth.

I usually just tell them, "Well, a large part of my job is making sure you only really notice about 1% of what I do."

Cuz the other 99% is pretty much all behind the scenes stuff.

I wish guests would tell me they don't need security bc I don't know where anything is. I'll be running around the store doing important stuff and stopping to point out where the paper towels are means less time to do what really needs my full attention at the moment
