That little statement should be in quotes. It is frequently uttered/written by one BR team member in particular. This is probably something only BR TMs can relate to in regards to closing shifts. Depending on the night you close there can be a variety of other tasks to perform including price change and setting the line.
Still on all of my closing shifts I have managed to get a decent amount of backstock done especially if it is a critical area or something our TL mentioned specifically. Then again, this is the same TL who supposedly told one of our BR TMs that when he arrives in morning he can't tell who the closer was the night before. As seems to be the norm, exerting maximum effort goes unrewarded.
That leads me to the whole point of this rant. A couple weeks in a row one BR TM and I have been stuck backstocking in the freezer (two to three flats at a time). Meanwhile, the known bum of BR TMs somehow never gets to partake in this frozen adventure time.
This week however our TL specifically mentioned to the TM whose shift would overlap with the closer (bum) shift that after the 5PM CAFs they were to head into the freezer to knock out the BS. He also wrote it in our communication log we have back there.
This would have taken them maybe 30 - 45 minutes. Well, big surprise if I don't see written in the log the very next day "No time for backstock." I consider this disobeying a direct order but I guess in Target land these tasks specifically mentioned by TLs are merely suggestions.
When it comes down to it, perhaps this bum BR TM is the smart one and I'm the chump for busting my ass everyday. Guess who ended up in the freezer doing the work he decided he didn't want to? Yep, me.
