My store still opens at 8, although maybe we're staying open later? I should look at the sign on the door. ;-) When we open at 7 during Q4, there's very little traffic during the week during that first hour, a little more on weekends and it definitely picks up some as we get closer to Christmas...

At my store, Beauty pushes cosmetics, hair care, and skin care. If other TMs have to help, Beauty still does cosmetics and the Beauty repacks. Other TMs will do the case packs. (Or they'll have someone like me, who used to push cosmetics, to the repacks. Asking a random TM to do that is asking...

This stinks - some TMs are abusing calling off, so a TM who is actually sick gets caught in the cross-fire. That said, I wonder if this will be happening at my store. There are some TMs who call off so frequently that I wonder how they keep their jobs. (I wondered for a while how they could pay...

It's a sad state affairs that some many other TLs have stepped down recently that you're not *allowed* to do the same. That really says a lot.

Does the TM leave the rubber band wrapped around the product when they push it? That's just dumb.

TTOTM at the DC: Someone is unclear on the concept of what a rubber band does. If you use one to attach a pick label to a product, you don't need to peel off the whole back of the label and stick it to the product. If you're that worried about losing your label, peel off a corner and stick it to...

Can't speak to Fulfillment (seems pretty normal from what TMs I see doing it and what I hear over the walkie), but in-store traffic doesn't seem to be any heavier. That said, I'll be doing a larger-than-usual Target run on my day off to take advantage of Circle deals.

Noticed just recently that the Pedigree canned dog food has more liquid, less solid in the can. I give this to my dog as a calorie supplement, not as a main source of nutrition, so it doesn't matter that much to me (or him).

Sometimes, setting an end cap is like building a Jenga tower with mismatched pieces. Did one yesterday that had a temporary side cap on both sides with those awful plastic L-bracket things. Problem was one side's was small with only 2 brackets and the other was what I think of as standard size...

TTOTM: Are you really so lazy that you can't push a fairly small OTC pull? Yes, it was getting to be toward closing time and maybe you had a pile of pulls to do, but you actually took the time to incorporate the pull into the back stock that I had to leave for the next day. Items were put with...

Hmm, not being a Jr. or anything else requiring a suffix, I wonder how this works for other people who are? I've done payroll for a couple of small businesses before, but never had this issue come up. Now I'm curious.

Oh my stars. I actually prefer going to a lane with a cashier, but if it's going to be a wait and there's an SCO station available, I'll use it. Sounds like some people need to lighten up. Or maybe get better sleep so they're not so grumpy.

Yeah, you don't need to be impressed by this. It's something every employer is required to do for every employee. (There is a ceiling, but no regular TM will reach it.) Now, the 401(k) match is a different thing. I don't think there's a requirement for an employer to match an employee's 401(k)...

Is this the only reason you want to transfer? I could understand it better if you currently commuted an hour, but 20 minutes isn't long. Is the other store really that much better? A larger store in my area was so poorly run that the whole back room team left and they had to have TMs from other...

TTOG: So I guess you think it's cool to rip open and sample 4 - yes, 4 - packages of lip balms? Fairly often, I find one package ripped open with one of the 3 or 4 tubes missing, but four packages? That's a little extreme. And I bet you're one of those people who gripe about prices. Do you think...

First I'm hearing about it. Can't imagine it'll be busy - we don't get a lot of traffic even opening at 8 except for around Christmas when it moves up to 7. I work in the OTC/Personal Care areas and traffic picks up some when the Pharmacy opens at 9, but the rest of the store isn't exactly...

I'd love to go to an overnight shift, but I'm sure my store isn't high volume enough. Even though I enjoy some guest interaction, I could do without most of it. And the constant calls for backup, shout-outs for who got a new circle card signup, driveup announcements on the walkie, etc. get to be...

Well, that's a bummer. Market clearance gets shopped at my store. Got some weird flavor of Special K cereal on clearance recently that's okay but I wouldn't buy again. Fun to try though. Before that it was a package of Lindt chocolate squares - too expensive for my budget normally but on...

Sorry if this is off topic, but maybe it's close enough. Was defecting a 4-pack of protein shakes the other day (it came out of the case as a 3-pack with one missing - weird). The sticker printed for ESIM instead of donate like it would for the protein bars or chips. It's still a food product...

Oy. I think the TM who assembles bikes has a mallet in his toolbox. I'll ask him if I can borrow it the next time I have time to wrangle those things.
