Archived Ok Team Leads, spill the beans!

[EagleEye]

My team leaders on the front end are excited to share some news with me, but can't officially say anything yet. She won't even give a hint! Any one know if there are any big plans to the front end, GSA/GSTL?

 

[PugMuffin]

The conversion goal is going up!

How exciting!

 

[redandkhaki]

our conversion goal went down but I haven't heard anything exciting lately.

 

[whippingboy]

I talked with two team leads today, they didn't seem thrilled about anything. Perhaps it's personal to you, not universal.

 

[Flabbergasted]

Yes conversion is going up to 5% company-wide, and will be branded as "Five for Five." You give a guest 5%, 5% of the time. All about that 5%.

Was going to say, Five-4-Five is my favorite night of the WEEK at the bar...

Maybe your store is getting self-checkout soon?

Let's hope not for their sake, it's been a disaster.

This. I'd rather have my express lanes back.

I doubt that, we're only B volume, but we did make our 2% growth for the year...

Who knows! I don't think it's personal to me though. Any wind about the GSA position changing at all?

 

[Nauzhror]

Not that I'm aware of, but if they make me a GSTL by eliminating GSA that'd be fine by me.

What? GSA position changing? This scares me.

Nope, they'll just integrate the GSA role into cashier to save money

That's pretty much what they did when they went to the gsa positions...50 cents over base and it's still a TM position.

Why would it scare you? Is it fun having GSTL responsibilities with none of the benefits?

I get steady hours, if nothing else. I would hate to lose that.

I'd be happy if they'd simply install those rotating bag stations, like walmart.

From what I heard conversion will be 13 red cards daily instead of a 3.0, self checkout is coming to most stores by june,

we have so many requests for an express lane. can't according to etl's. we had one and never got to use it.

We used ours all the time. Except the first one, which only got used on the busiest of busy days and pretty much served as the GSTL/GSA office.

 

[dash11]

I heard conversion as we know it is gone, no more promps at the register, self checkout is here at least testing at some stores in my district

 

[TGTlifer]

Each store is going to be given REDcard goals instead of having conversion. Prompts are going away and the initial goal is going to be based on what your store did in 2014. If that is truly how it works I like it.

I really hope this is how it will work but I haven't been able to confirm it outside of this forum. I guess we will find out on Feb. 1st?

 

[AllThingsTarget101]

I've had confirmation of this. Every store will have its own set number of REDcards per week that it needs to sell.

Per day as well based off your 2014 numbers

 

[RedMan]

It's true! We got our goals yesterday. I'm curious how we recognize our great cashiers if there are no conversion numbers or hold the not so great cashiers accountable. I wonder if we'll still get a cashier productivity report which shows how many REDCards each TM gets since I give Vibe Cards and little trinkets for the green cashiers each week.
