flow

Just a fun little heads up for all the flow team members who miss the good old days of scanning trucks. Turns out when you receive all rather than scanning to confirm what cartons you actually receive, discrepancy in inventory occurs. Currently corporate is running a test, having us scan every...

This is kind of a questionnaire / rant for inbound team. I personally believe that unloading the truck should be the simplest process. But since modernization has fully blossomed, it's been the most convoluted mess ever! Back when we had a dedicated overnight team, we would unload a truck that...

It's been awhile, how is the truck unloaded nowadays? Is there still a flow unload team? I haven't really paid much attention since I am free....The Captain is no longer in chains. I did like to do the unload, good exercise.

I'm sorry, but I'm kicking butt. I'm not going to let management intimidate me!!!

The unload TL has been forcing us reverse logistics TMs to unload and sometimes backstock bulk items. We don’t mind helping sometimes but we’ve been told for the last few weeks to unload bulk items. We’re a store with daily sweeps and 3 doubles a week. Someone was dedicated to remove bulk but...

Is 40 cases an hour actually attainable with priority 2 push? I have been through a number of GMEs who just can't keep up. If they happened to keep up they get burnt out really fast. I'm thinking the areas are too big for all the tasks. I have one for stationary getting a 5.5 hour shift...

So, I asked this question, but people who responded were being so rude and totally flipping everything I was trying to say. So I am asking again, hoping that someone will listen with kindness. I work inbound from 4am-8am and I leave at my scheduled time a lot. In 2 weeks, I am scheduled on the...

Any GM members asked to come in at 5:30am to get the line set up? These are my other responsibilities. Make sure unload gets done in a timely manner. Tell others GM team members what to stock during the unload. Doesn't this all this sound like responsibilities of a team lead? So am I going to...

I'm a pretty new GM Expert at Target (about 4 weeks). I'm working in inbound to unload the truck every morning and our goal time is supposed to be 1.5 hours but we're finishing in 2 to 3 hours most days. This seems way too slow to me and I was wondering if it's even possible to do it that...

So I heard we are going to have a dedicated truck team again. Their only job is to unload and super sort and leave. It’s supposed to happen after our inventory in a few weeks. I thought we were getting rid of that roll w modernization?? Why can’t we audit on the floor anymore?? Also most...

Lately, I've really been missing the trash cages. It was so easy to just toss my cardboard in one of those, have a bag loosely tied at one side to put plastic in. Keeping it all contained on my u-boat works, sort of, but it's not as easy.

So, this is my second week at Target. My first day of work was last Wednesday. I applied for general merchandise expert, they've had me training in various areas. On Saturday, I started learning how to "push" the various items to the sales floor. Being that it's a new experience, I've had to ask...

Hello all, it’s my first post because I finally had a question for my Target family! I’ve been working at my store for over a year and started working closing shifts because of school. I normally don’t mind them because we typically don’t stay late. This week however, we had officially closed...

No longer work for Target, but haven't heard about this from anyone I still keep in contact with... "Increase the amount of freight we receive on each delivery?" There's no way that's true. That's a physical impossibility, what the fuck. lol. When I was around, DCs couldn't even properly...

What are you guys doing with the number 40 repacks?

Today while pushing pets I had a hardlines executive (who has never said anything to me ever) come up to me and tell me to speed up the pace and that continued slow speed would result in a write up. This came as a surprise as I'm frequently told how fast I am at pushing freight. Mentioned it to...

We aren't allowed to use carts. They sent 6 tubs back. All the flats belong to flow on truck days. All other vehicles are full of backstock. Well, what am I supposed to use?

Anyone out ther a thrower for unloading a truck? I seem to get through smaller trucks just fine, but recently I've started to get pain in my upper and lower back as I reach the last panel of a larger truck. Have any of you expierenced this, and if so, what have you done to make it better? I try...

Is inbound just a four hour shift now? Correct to assume that 6-8 hour shifts are a thing of the past?

How is your line set up with the new uboats? How many are you responsible for while sorting freight off the line? Who sorts repacks on the line? How is it handled when someone doesn’t get there stuff off?
