hardlines

Sooo.. I just started at target a week ago as a hardlines member and I have a few questions and would be grateful for anyone who might have some answers!!!! 1.) When I first started I didn't have my college schedule yet. Now I have it and the HR lady told me to go put it in online. I've been on...

1. Tips/Techniques to speed up reshop? Do bring the cart along with you everywhere and use your mydevice or just glance down aisles hoping you'll see something thats in your cart? 2. Do you backstock anything that doesn't have a location? 3. How do you read backwall locations, something like...

I've been seeing a lot of empty packages for Sonia and NYX. Today, as I was zoning, I found an empty package that I think was Sonia but I threw it in to my backstock carry cart and forgot it was there (and I brought it in back so I hope to god they don't think I stole it even though you can...

I'm not sure if I'm just a total idiot, but does Target carries Ashtrays? I even tried looking on the Target app for a customer and I couldn't find anything. Has anyone ever seen them before?

Hey guys! I started at Target as a hard lines team member about a week ago. My training ended today but I still have some questions I was hoping can be answered. 1) what are 4x4 and the mid-day zone? 2) when I get there my first day without a trainer, do I go on the walkie to ask for...

We're experiencing a slump in our ytd comp in domestics/housewares, decorative home, and entertainment. Any tips on how to improve these categories?

I took a hardline shift a mid day shift and I don't know what I should be focusing on, reshop and zoning as I do reshop and pulls, or is there anything else?

So a new Hardlines TL asked me today if they (I assume ETL's) asked me about becoming a captain. This would be in toys. What would that entail? I've only been at Spot since October. Nobody has actually formally asked me if I was interested, nor given any in depth details/job description...

Did anyone else location get rid of all the reshop carts at GS. at my location it use to be: (2) three tier carts for HBA Soft Lines Chemicals Stationery/ Kitchen Domestics Toys/electronics Market Seasonal Now there just one cart for Softlines and one for Hardlines....HBA still have their...

We had a lot of callouts today so I got asked to help hardlines. I am so glad its over. How do you guys do your job with no equipment? Reshop I looked like a n00b using the end of aisle scanner and I got yelled at for not backing up when I dont even have a walkie!!! And everytime you get on a...

Okay, so here's my dilemma. I've been working at Target as a Hardlines member for 4 or 5 weeks now, and it's been awesome and I'm really lovingly it, but I just got scheduled for a shift that I can't be at because of a commitment at school. I called the HR-ETL and she said I could either call...

Hi all! I was just hired at target on Hardlines, and I've got a couple out questions before my first shift tomorrow. :) 1. My biggest question is, what is pulling/pushing, and how do you do it? I know pulling has to do with the backroom and pushing has to do with guest service, but other than...

Hey everyone! New team member here, currently going through training. I have a mound of questions that I'd like to ask. So if it's not too much to ask I'd like as much help as I can get since it's my first job :) I'm not in any rush for answers either so take your time please if you're willing...

Rants, raves, questions, conversations. Post em here? How is your store gearing up for it? Spent 2 days this last week rearranging Waco's, shelf's and condensing receiving in attempt to make space for all that is back to school product! Looked at the transition report yesterday for today's...

Hi! I'm a 17 year-old who has been working in Hardlines (as the name may imply) for 1 year . However, whenever backup is called for the front lanes, I am consistently the one who ends up going. I will voluntarily go up, as I want to help the store run smoothly, and the other team members pick...

Not sure if this is just my location, but we're expierencing major cuts in payroll. Dayside sales floor is pretty much non existent right now. One to two max, but lately it's just been one HLTM. Backroom is somehow hanging by a thread. Until next week that is, when only two dayside/mid will be...

Team, can anyone tell me how to change the capacity a given location can hold in the system? We have a certain product that we have 24 on the floor alone, but the inventory system states we have 11. I have tried a couple times to count update on the Research function of the MyDevice, but it...

Now I know at some point we were all new, and must've been pretty clueless on how things worked with Spot. As a seasonal hire, the only thing that kept me on the team for 90 days was my personality. Hopefully this thread will allow us to share our experiences, get some awkward things off our...

Evening! Call me Catfish Rita- I'm a seasonal hire for a Target store in the midwest, and I'm having fun! I love the guests, and so far I'm trained on Hardlines, IGS, and carts. I've been in the chat here a couple times, but thats about it. Talk to you all soon! :-) -CR

Hi everyone! I'm 19 and I recently got hired as a part-time seasonal team member in hardlines. I'm willing to put the effort of becoming a permanent team member. I never had retail experience in my life but I had sales/financial experience as a financial advisor/insurance agent. Any tips when...
