    Archived Truck unload

    Hi all! I am starting to do the truck unload this week, pushing all the product from the truck to the line. Does anyone have any suggestion of how to be quick and efficient? I was a bit behind the go time today and it was my first time unloading. I'm hoping the more I do it the quicker I get but...

    “A box per minute”was thrown around a lot this week. Opinions please. Is this gold star level ? Average ? Anyone say ‘not possible’ ? An attainable or reach expectation ? Anyone out there that can do more?

    Archived Bowling

    Why did Target get rid of bowling? It's more efficient and allows push for a department to be all done in 1 round, instead of taking multiple trips to grab a vehicle,push that vehicle, then walk to the back to throw away trash, cardboard, and backstock, then bring that vehicle back to...

    As title says. Coworker and I are scheduled sfs today at 4 am. There's usually an overnight team but they were off today. So there's absolutely no one here to let us inside - and the next person won't be here until near 6. At what point can we leave? I've tried calling the store a few times...

    Archived New TM advice needed

    My first day was today. I was put on inbound. 6:30-11. So I helped w the line (?) sorting boxes from the conveyor belt. First off it was so hot I couldn’t breath.

    Archived What do you do when they eliminate your job?

    I was hired years ago to work on Flow. When the hours changed from four to six, it was a problem. Now, it's even worse with them wanting me to come in after the store opens. These hours-coming in so late- will not work for me, and I told them so. (a tl said they would try to help get me in...

    When I was hired, I was hired for the Flow Team, but have found on my schedule as of late that I am scheduled more on the floor in Hardlines than anything.

    Was wondering if there was any way to quickly and efficiently get repacks finished so that I can stop hearing the same thing over and over.
