Sales Floor What departments are what?

[TechNix]

Heyo,

I am trying to better understand what GM is without bugging my TL and trainer too much. I have been doing house dec, domestics and kitchen mainly - is that all that is considered GM? Or, is it also like sporting goods and toys?

Like, I know soft lines are A&A, and specialty is Electronics, Beauty (and one other). Pfresh and food in general is well, food.

Pfresh/food is F&B
Style (apparel), Beauty, and Tech are Specialty Sales.
The rest of the sales floor is GM.

I think you should bug your TL and trainer, instead of training(working) off the clock. Unless you are the clock, in which case don’t?

They might not know how to fully use Workbench yet. I know I didn't until a few months into the job.

Yep, this pretty much sums it up.

I have not really used workbench, so I'll have to check that out.

It was just a thought I had when I was thinking about my day. I did actually ask them before seeing anyone's messages here. Again, just a passing thought that I figured I would ask. Sorry if I did something wrong.

You didn't. He forgot that he is reborn.

You didn't do anything wrong. People ask all kinds of work-related questions on here all the time. That's one of the main reasons I'm here. I've learned way more from this site than from anyone at my store!
