These are the Good Ole Days

[Ringwraith917]

ITT:the things that Target is doing well and you will mourn the loss/change of in the future.

I'll start with POGs. If they ever change everything to VMs I'll have an aneurysm.

Tolerating the existence of TBR. So helpful.

Having things on location in the backroom, as opposed to randomly stored in a general area.

???? bwahaahaaa

there are piles of freight from weeks ago that someone will "get to" as soon as they have time.

these are not the good ole days. these are the days of nightmares and pain

 

[Ringwraith917]

Yes but nightmares and pain are a constant. The Good Ole days never really exist, except in retrospect

Truer words were never spoken (typed?). I haven't read every post going back years here, but I feel very confident in saying that everyone was bitching constantly even back in the "good old days". Not criticising at all, because it's human nature. I'm guilty.

Maybe we should all be basking in how awesome things are now, because it's likely stuff is going to get worse and then we will be pining for how things are being done at the present time.

They will 100% change most departments to a VM thing.

Ha! I keep finding things in the back that supposedly aren't anywhere, including just today a bunch of a product that's had an empty floor location for weeks. Back stocking and "hey, we DO have some of this!" It keeps happening, 1 or 2 DPCIs every shift that I just randomly come across. Asked another TM if she's also finding this in her stuff and she said she found a whole shelf of product in the back that wasn't located.

Aisles you can fit 2 carts down side by side.

The same key for the Crown and Wave.

Sales floor not being jammed up with vehicles all day.

Read this thread at the beginning & you will see slide down hill. Also, read @Rock Lobster postings too. They were a tm who moved up to an etl. Spot stole his ideas for training.

Autopulls are going away, apparently, which should be interesting.

I suspect that, in the next couple years, you won't STO/SUBT anymore and stuff will just be unlocated in back.

Haha. Good luck with fulfillment.

Autopulls are going away because you're going to be dropping fill to capacity manuals every morning.

Not joking.

 

[can't touch this]

uh the good old days were when diesel was $0.68 a gallon and you could buy an 80s model Benz with a diesel motor and drive it for free

or when you could say "I want to work full time" and boss man says "okay check this box and sign here"

or when you could only get crappy dial up but that was okay because Usenet posts are only a few bytes per

You use different keys? We have the same key for stacker, crown and power jack

We still have the same key, too

oh how I miss USENET so many albums and movies I got from there.

Yeah it sucks but at least our backstock is light. There are tons of vehicles of push left over and its still in the back but.... We're getting there?

So this thing I've been doing starting this week is going to be the new norm? Oh, yuk. So many onesie-twosie DPCIs, including pulling a whole case to take out 1 bottle? I'm not going to like this.

 

[seasonaldude]

pulling a whole case to take out 1 bottle?

Ahhh.....everyone else is going to feel my pain with this. Drives me crazy when people refuse to open a case because they only need 1 item to fill the floor. It means there is less open stock for me to pick from. So much easier to pull from open stock.

I like a lot of the modernization changes, just wish I could get staffed to actually do it.

I like the manual cafs. I like ladderless. I like DBOs. I feel like I must drink the koolaid, but really the changes are good changes. I have cleared out so much of my back room the last two weeks. I think the company is dumping way too much into holding inventory that isn’t needed and is fixing that. I had less grocery backstock at a Kroger that did as much in sales in grocery alone as my whole store does, and fewer outs too.

I just don’t have the payroll to make it happen as quick as mySD wants it done.

We already are doing that

Just remember that the good ideas today become tomorrow's bad ideas. It changes that fast. Sometimes because of outside market forces. Sometimes on a whim of some unnamed, anonymous, shadowy figure somewhere in the upper echelons of corporate.

I count the Good Old Days at Target when the motto was Fan, Fun and Friendly. The TMs were happy, the guests were happy and I assumed my leaders were happy. Now it's just seems as though the only one's that are happy are people above SD.

Was this when you started, or shortly thereafter? Ignorance is bliss.
