Last few months my store lost two leaders with notable people skills. And we haven't had a SD in a while, and the last few weeks saw the exit of our HR ETL and Market TL. No replacements, so far. As @Hardlinesmaster said, it's common. So, no, you're not giving away which store.

Related Subject: At my store we also push out of pods, even while the store is open. Our pods are the big cubes with the pallet-sized footprint. You need a jack to move them around. @HInbound, that communication only uses the word "vehicles", but I'm sure my TLs are using those exact same...

Ditto on @Unleashed Dog's genuine curiosity about all that's factored into push times! For example, what part of trash exactly? All that separating that you do while you're pushing, or, afterwards, when you're getting your cardboard and trash to the baler and compactor? @HInbound, I'm relying...

Two kinds of "Wows!": As in, "Wow! That's great!" And, "Wow! I've never heard of such a thing!" Truly, ASANTS.

I don't think that's his friend's modus operandi.

A PML once told me that, yes, you could grab two, leave the store, and two people could use those two walkies to talk to each other. If that's true, still, they run on batteries that need to be charged. @Spazzy253, did your friend accidentally take a charger home, too?

Hello, Gadget! Here are my two cents: I can't think of a single Consumables TM at my store who also works in a different area (not counting OPU or cashier back up). They're short-handed a lot, so General Merchandise TMs (like me) will get sent over to help them. So far as volunteer...

"[Brian Cornell] said he used to fall victim to some pretty common harmful habits: going about your day with little sleep, drinking coffee for meals and not leaving any time for post-work exercise or relaxation ..." "'[Workers are] fatigued, they’re exhausted, they haven’t eaten and you can’t...

At my store there's usually a box of kleenex and a pump dispenser of hand sanitizer by the time clock. That is until the kleenex runs out. Then it's going to be a few days until somebody requisitions another one. In a case like your's, @skiddybop , I'd have used the restroom paper towels. They...

Excuse me, but I do not "stack" laundry detergent. I place it on the shelf, in its location, brand out.

I got kicked out of Menudo just because my voice broke. Age discrimination is real.

Does the club you guys joined have a secret handshake?

We got some new drive-up carts but they just looked like three-tiers to me. I don't do drive up, though. How are they different?

This.
