Let's flip the "Youngest TL/GSA You've Seen?" thread on its head.
I've seen TL's in their 60's, including GSTL's, some who stepped down from the ETL role later in their career.
Just curious what is the oldest GSA you've seen? My store has two part-time GSA's, one male and one female, who are probably each approaching 50 years old, who have been with the store for a few years and rose through the ranks as cashiers and guest service TM's. Both were able to convince leadership that they could bring experience and long-term loyalty to the job, and as a result, the store filled what would have been a "full" time open-availability GSA position with two half-timers. Both have at least part-time jobs outside of Target and mostly work evenings/weekends, so are not necessarily on the GSTL development track. I observe that they are friendly to their team and well-respected, but maintain a certain amount of dignity and social distance on the job due to their age difference from most front-end TM's. They also display a strong work ethic from life experience and maturity, and as a result, they lead effectively by example. The rest of our GSA's are also high quality and hard working, but are the usual, open-availability, full-time, kind in their 20's and 30's. The whole team of GSA's and GSTL's seems to work together really well.
Anything similar to this at your store?
