Not to knock any of us "trainers" here at Spot (myself included), but I just pulled something out of my Gmail from 2007 when I had external email access at Sam's Club. It is a list of all of the online training I had completed at Wally and Sam's in the preceding two years. Compare this to the 'training meter'...

and at the end of the day all it means is that if you fuck something up it's all to back up some lawsuit. which in turn screws you. kinda cute. eh? : /
 
If I had to take all of those CBLs mentioned for the cashier part alone, I would scream. It's a lousy register, for Pete's sake....I had it down in under an hour.
 
Some of those, like the pesticide and firearm training, probably aren't applicable to anyone at Target unless it's one with a Garden Center.

The point is that most of our people are woefully under trained in comparison to the old days.
Maybe some of it was overkill but I think people were better prepared in those days.
Think about the training for "Handling Difficult Situations", if a cashier has been trained to deal with the basic crap people are going throw at them there are going to be a lot less disgruntled customers and times when the GSTL needs to run over to intervene.

How many of these are things that people come here to find out?
 
firearms procedure.....um, what? were you all allowed to concealed carry cause if so props to them, cause if I would have saw that on my list when I became a trainer I would have asked if that was allowed and probably gotten canned lol. seriously though what is that all about?
 
Walmart (maybe Sam's Club?) sells guns of varying degrees, so that would be something people would need to be trained on.

thanks RG forgot about that part.... darn and here I was thinking that CC could make a comeback in the workforce. silly me lolz
 
The Wally I was at was in Virginia and we sold guns and ammo so anyone who had to cover that area (and their supervisors) had to know how to run background checks and know the policies. We also had to do fishing licenses and cut keys.

Sam's was 5 cashier CBLs before shadowing. Wally was 11 including simulations. I don't know about how they shadowed since the only reason I took them is they appeared on my training report when my job code changed.
