What's the deal with so many facings of the same product in a POG? Was noticing that the pegs for both Men's and Women's Shave this time are so crowded and some of the replacement razor cartridges have 3 or even 4 facings. I don't mean the Flamingo display which has a ridiculous number of...

Not a bad idea and I might give it a try. But I'm short and already have kind of a hard time putting stock on those highest pegs. Plus guests have to be able to get product off them. In both Men's and Women's Shave, we use the pegs with the bent end as a means to deter theft. Makes it harder for...

At my store, these are the shifts that are most often called off by scheduled TMs. Talk to your TL and see if your store has a call list for TMs willing to come in at short notice. Also, if you haven't already, ask your TL about cross-training. TMs who know how to do more things can be scheduled...

As far as I know, Target doesn't offer a pension plan. You can contribute to a 401(k) though and the company matches a certain percentage.

lol. We could all probably come up with multiple ways the company doesn't communicate well. Here's one: sales planner trays that don't match either the product or the layout. The last Secret/Old Spice deodorant one has the wider stick product placed in the skinnier spray places. I made it work...

We're definitely having to wrap more stuff at my store, but not this yet. So annoying that the company has to spend money on all this anti-theft stuff and so many TLs have to spend so much time wrapping merch. And people complain about the high costs of everything - this doesn't help.

Posted a little while ago about how my shelf strips were lining up a lot better this time with product. And that's been true pretty much the whole way through this round of Personal Care POGs. However, the pegs are a different story. I tend to not spend time actually counting to see exactly...

I've thought about doing this because the self-pushers don't work well with most of those packages. Post how it works, will you?

I already try to do this and my area is one of the few where the numbers line up pretty well when inventory is done. It's not hard, although I do have to do a lot of counting some days. But only when I have overstock, not on every single thing.

This is how we do it at my store too (although I can't say what was started when). As soon as they drop in and we have the label strips, POGs are being worked. Especially like it when the POG can be set before the new product arrives so there's no shuffling it up into the steel or sitting on a...

We have a lot of TMs who are cross-trained for truck and price change and POG. The DBO model worked really well for my store and even though it's gone, there are a lot of us who learned how to do all that. So the TLs who write the schedule might schedule a TM for an extra shift (we have only 3...

And this is why I leave both the shave POGs until near the end. They're both reverse sets and that gets tricky with the ISM. Some sections end up being set standard anyway. Looks like you have a different kind of self-pusher for the shelf of razors above the basket shelf. We use the black ones...

Same. We don't wrap the manual razors, but most the refill cartridges are put in different kinds of cases. Such a pain.

The amount is small enough that they're not going to file charges against you - it's not worth the time and effort needed. That said, I think you'd be wise to avoid applying for any other retail jobs or other positions where you'd be dealing with money. Don't set yourself up for being faced with...

This is why it's worth it when I take a few minutes to straighten up my clearance shelves. When it's left a mess, no one wants to hunt through what's there. But when it's kept sort of neat, it sells down better. That said, I'm glad I'm not in Style. Hard enough with GM merch. Of course, the...
