TTOTM wearing pajama bottoms: Well, that's what they looked like. I know dress code has been talked about lately and some changes are coming, but we've never been allowed to wear pants with a camo print. I did a double-take and yes, you were wearing a vest and a Target name tag, so I know you're...

Haven't had my review yet, but I'm not expecting it to be like last year's (5%). My TL seems fine with my work, but the SD not so much.

We've been told only "Target red" will be acceptable. TMs at my store use Target-supplied hats and high-viz coats (or lightweight high-viz vests in the summer).

A little bummed that burgundy & maroon will no longer be acceptable, but relieved that one of my favorite winter ones will still be okay - predominantly red with a subtle pattern using other shades of red. Question is though, will this really be enforced? Dress code at my store has been...

That's not right, their making jokes about it. Be aware that if you do call about this, your store's leadership will certainly be able to figure out who reported it. Not saying you shouldn't call - I probably would, but I'm near enough to retiring that I wouldn't care - just that it may come...

It'll be interesting to see how this goes at my store. It's being talked about; my TL said something about it to me a couple days ago - while they were wearing a hoodie with a small non-Target name and logo on it. We're being told that non-red shirts will still be allowed under a vest but they...

TTOG making a Target run with your toddler: Good for you, Mom! Seriously, making grocery shopping a fun learning time for your young son is so great to see, instead of a kid mesmerized by your phone or playing "let's drop Goldfish crackers on the floor." By using his interest in getting some...

Is the *request* because of a change in the store's needs? For instance, when our truck days changed, a bunch of us where "asked," meaning "expected," to change our schedules to match. However, when we had the DBO model and two long-term DBO TMs who'd hired in for work that didn't require...

These posts make me apprehensive about the remodel starting in a few weeks. I'm not part of the overnight team, so won't be so directly affected. But when they can't send regular ISM on time, how are they going to manage sending remodel fixtures on time?

Don't know what it was, but I heard a conversation over walkie recently between an ETL and the SD about some metric being a problem multiple days in a row and the ETL said they knew it had been resolved the day before. Yet it was showing up again as being red. That makes me think there might be...

I do pick up a zebra and an extra battery on my way upstairs to the break room. My zebra's battery never lasts the whole shift and it's usually running low by the time I take lunch. Leaving the extra battery in my locker and then dropping off the depleted one on my way back from lunch works...

So I guess completing the training when it was overdue wasn't such a big deal.

When I was the equivalent of a TL at a bookstore a long time ago, I found that actually working alongside my team, one at a time, was effective at demonstrating the way things should be done. Plus it gave me an opportunity to get to know them because we could chat a little while working. Then...

Wow, that must have been a lot of extra weight because it seems like those shelves are pretty heavy duty. :(

Anyone else thinking all those new outrigger signs make for a cluttered look? Maybe it just takes a while to get used to them, but I think it makes the store look like a warehouse store.
