Archived The Tips of Totally Effective Target Team Members

[NitroKing2110]

Title was edited to avoid copyright infringement.
Anyone have any helpful (or funny) tips for your fellow team members? I'll start.

- Save your ears! Spiderwraps and EAS towers had a nasty breakup and they despise each other and will both start yelling. Help them out by ensuring their restraining order of 5 feet away is respected.
- Save your belt loops by keeping your magnetized keys away from backroom steel and shelves.
- A team member in motion outranks an ETL who doesn't know what's going on (oh, we wish this were true)
- An AP team member at a full run outranks everyone.
- A TM running towards an area with a fire extinguisher is usually an indication you should remain away from that area unless helping.
- Thou shalt press the walkie button BEFORE BEGINNING TO SPEAK.
- It takes two team members to move a 70 inch TV. Just trust me on this one.
- Test your mydevice for functionality while you are still at the cabinet and it is unlocked.
- The eyes in the sky see all......
- Have a supply that you need like a J-hook? See Electronics, we often have more stuff than most people realize.
- Do you enjoy not having to go backup cashier? Try not to make the GSTL mad or they will call you by name until the LOD makes them stop.
- Only you can prevent dropped myDevices.
- Please do not scream into the walkie. It can hear you if you hold it a reasonable distance away and speak in a normal tone.
- POS has two forms of the acronym. For the purpose of describing our registers, they are often interchangeable.

Please say on the radio when you hear a call box go off, " I got that call box."

 

[LogisticsFox]

Stop and think! Wrap with shrink! (pallets!)
Bales can contain 5% plastic or tape.. ZERO % chains! Make sure they're out after ejecting a bale!
If it's your first time helping with the calfs, please alert your team trainer! asking 'Which way to the barn?' is a good starting point.

If you come up to Starbucks for iced water (no charge) & there's a loooooong line of guests waiting for $4-$6 drinks, who do you think we'll wait on first?

 

[NPC]

If you sort your stray cart at Guest Service yourself, the person running Guest Service will love you forever!

 

[commiecorvus]

If you find signage on the floor thy shalt get it to the signing ninja, not just leave it in the cart of returns for the next day.

 

[BullseyeBabe]

How about putting the walkies in the chargers? Don't leave them beside the charger dead and gutted. (Back off, no battery)

 

[LadyCynide]

Guest Service is not where you bring your overflowing cart of literal garbage (plastic wrap, old signs, etc).

When something is marked "Backstock" it isn't just because the person really liked the color of that clip. There should never be a CAF overflowing with 3 weeks worth of cosmetics backstock that SOMEONE (me )now has to redo and resort to figure out why the counts are all off.

 

[DoWork]

Though shalt not clutter both sides of the backroom hallway. Navigating between pallets, tubs, and carts with 12 pallets is difficult and unnecessary. Nor shall ye put vehicles on corners. Pallets need more room to make turns safely.

 

[qmosqueen]

respect your fruit and temperature sensitive food, put them back in the proper area.
Don't put dairy in the freezer and vice versa. Never ever put a soda can in a freezer section.

And to all Guest please put what you do NOT want an longer back where you picked it up from, thanks.

 

[Loki]

Thou shalt not put registry devices in with the regular myDevices. Why does the word device look so weird to me today?

 

[Kartman]

And to all Guest please put what you do NOT want an longer back where you picked it up from, thanks.

Now that's funny as a mofo!!!

 

[oath2order]

Did you guys know you don't have to push the giant shippers of cosmetics? Ask your POG TL or Signing Ninja where to put it so you don't toss it.

 

[Noiinteam]

When working a pull, you can backstock. Just because it's on a tub or flat doesn't mean it may all go out.

If you have a question, please ask. No question is stupid if you don't know the answer.

When there is food in the break room, don't be a hog!

If you have equipment and someone asks for it, don't make them beg for it!

 

[qmosqueen]

When there is food in the break room, don't be a hog!

and don't take it home with you. it's meant to be shared and eaten at work
I see you line your pocket with plastic and shove pizza in them !!

 

[Firefox]

• Thou shalt not allow oneself to hit compliance.
• Thou shalt not breath into the walkie
• Thou shalt not TALK ON CHANNEL 1 ABOUT PERSONAL ISSUES.

 

[Targe]

If you decide to take on backstocking, please check your fillgroups. That soap is labeled HOME, not CHEM or HBO2. Yes, I am aware it doesn't make sense.

Also, please quit putting apple sauce in SNCK. It is clearly GRC3.

One more thing, please please PLEASE respect food safety guidelines (While in the back and on the floor). Dont mix Tide with those chips.

 

[Kompa]

It takes two team members to move a 70 inch TV. Just trust me on this one.

Pfft. Backroom be like, "I got this, hold my beer"

 

[redeye58]

If I'm loading a tub with my back to you, do NOT put a pallet down behind me.
Turning, tripping & nearly doing a pallet faceplant was NOT on my schedule that day.

If you come up to Starbucks for iced water (no charge) & there's a loooooong line of guests waiting for $4-$6 drinks, who do you think we'll wait on first?

Wait... Can I come for hot water? I'd even bring my own cup lol. I don't mind waiting haha. Probably wouldn't even go if there's a long line, but sometimes I want a different tea (something I have at home) and the break room tap is so gross.


SL people, stop a few minutes early so you can clean your carts out. If I open the FR, I don't wanna come in to carts all over the fitting room. I think every closer would be much more effective and considerate if they ever had to open the FR a morning after they've closed on the floor. Opening the fr after I close now is nice haha (tooting my horn). I've come in to horrors, though. A full cart of unfolded table items in addition to a full unsorted cart from GS and a full cart of "pick up" stuff. That's not cool. If you didn't finish your tables don't fake it by putting it all in a cart. Oh man and if you must leave a pick up cart, at least put the rewrap in the top part or somehow separate it.

 

[redeye58]

@sher - waiting is cool.
What ticks me off is when TMs stand off to the side & ask for water.
I just look at them, point to the line & say "They're PAYING for their drink. THEY come first."

 

[Ringwraith917]

When pulling CAFs in grocery, start with BEV then SNCK, GRC2, then the rest. That way heavier items and bigger boxes are on the bottom of the tub.

Hardlines: FURN, BPLS, PETS, PET2, PLUG, HOME, PLAS....

 

[Westcoast7]

If I'm resetting an aisle, it doesn't mean the opposite aisle is being reset. So please don't leave your boxes of product for that aisle on the floor. I guess you assume I'd do it for you

 

[Ringwraith917]

Empuje! No Halé!

 

[BlueSide]

This is very quickly turning into "to that one team member..."

Pro tip: The mic on the walkie is at the top. Don't whisper into the speaker on the bottom.
