Business Insider was invited inside T557, the Oconomowoc RDC. The reporting is obviously paid for by Target to try and get something positive going to counter the negativity, but its a good chance for store TMs to get a glimpse inside an RDC...

Really? So the cartonaire scans cartons to a cart, and the depal thrower scans the cart to tell the system they are throwing the contents into the Mezz?

Do not listen to the clerical. It may have been okay this once instance but if I caught this as an STSS and a pattern was found, I would absolutely open an investigation with the assumption if you were willing to break protocol to donate, you were likely also stealing some items you entered as...

And security was only slashed in name, because they split the team into "true" security, and truck gate workers. Only to then hire an entire second team of security (TSS) whose sole job is to wear a security badge at the truck gate. Lmao.

Zero chance they did that just to help you out. OPU was likely just dead and they sent them to alleviate work load in the most time consuming area to zone.

ICQA pays for itself so there is no reason not to have them. I was able to stop $1million/year in losses (yes, million) as a single STSS that wasn't even directly involved with inventory. ICQA deals with smaller numbers on average so they may not have such a grandiose result, but the...

I was super grateful to my manager(s) for giving me genuine and strong feedback. Some of it I used to work on flaws and improve myself, other areas I recognized are just who I am and have been able to be very upfront with my limitations. Consistent and worthwhile feedback (not just for...

It is practical to do store side, because the store knows what setup works best for then. ASANTS and all that. There is no one-size fits all solution so the only logical choice is to have the store themselves be the expert in the area. Your real complain is lack of budgeted hours store-side...

So I have unique insight into this because I worked at a store and then transferred to the RDC that serves that store. When the major wave of Christmas transition dropped I specifically requested to load the truck for said store. And I grabbed a dozen pallets and organized the transition...

The local store that has an Ulta in it, also has an Ulta beauty store in the same lot. Seriously. It was also a nightmare at the DC side as AP because the repack boxes would fall apart so often and you would have to piece count it all and ensure every DPCI was accounted for.

There are so many mini scams like this that run rampant. One of the big ones over covid was the daycare coverage. There were zero checks on any information entered so everyone and their mother (litteraly) were claiming they needed reimbursement for daycare services even with zero actual...

So the hiring is done purely at corporate now. But each DCs HR is still able to intervene. Be warned that assuming corporate does accept an application and schedule you for orientation, your local DC's HR is able to veto that and deny you the job. Happened to two guys I knew, one of which had...

Growing up I always saw ads for the Hess truck during Christmas time, and toy sets for a register also existed. There is nothing new about any of that.

On hold until after the election, notably. Somebody paid a pretty penny to ensure another market shut down did not occur until the next President is elected. All other conspiracies aside, I think it is important for the country as a whole that we did not add to the chaos right before the...

Purchase Order. Standard industry term, used to (you guessed it) order items from other companies. Its the orders Target makes to, say Pampers, to aquire material for the DC which is then distributed in-network to Target stores.
