They've given me some training and I feel comfortable but I do have questions that I've asked my trainers but they all didn't give specifics and just that you learn as you work.

    Archived Just Hired, (General Merchandise) What to Expect?

    I was just hired after applying for Sales Floor TM, and was offered a General Merch. position. The STL said she would start me off in Back to School since that will be where they need most help, and later let me choose a department to own. Can someone who has done GM in the back to school area...

Well, this morning, the auto had me pull all 8 bottles from the back even though the floor was full. Any idea what could he causing this? Should I just wait and see if it's fixed tomorrow...

    Archived Smells

    I read an article a few weeks ago, while I was still employed with Target, about how retailers (Target was mentioned) use smells to increase sales, create an ambiance, promote relaxation, etc. It was described as some sort of air freshener or machine which gives off certain scents. I've never...

    Archived Nothing-to-do habits?

    Every once in a while, I run into times where all my work is done, and all my manager has for me to do is to "work on reshop" when there's no reshop to do. Now, I know what I'm supposed to be doing during these times. There's always work to be done, be proactive, yada yada. Be honest, what do...

    Archived Too many Soft n slo squishies

    What should we do with them? I think they came from the bulk Easter shipper. Can we send them back or have a vendor take them? Probably have over 150 and they ain't selling well and taking up too much space.

    Archived Bounty paper towls

    Has anyone looked at the mark up (or lack there of) on bounty paper towls? If I am reading it correctly, my story sells them for less than what they pay.

    Unrealistic Expectations

    Hello. Today has been a not so great day. For no explanation I was moved to HBA where I am not comfortable and told I have an hour and 15 mins to finish 14 repacks and that it is expected of me to finish. My main concern is that I need this job but I feel that this was an unwarranted and silly...

    Archived What do you do with Items with no location?

    I was pushing an enormously stacked flatbed that was 90% items with no location. The TL told me to flex some of it, but eventually it just gets ridiculous. I hate flexing in general because of my experiences in SFS. I would rather it be at least backstocked so it can be found for whatever...

    Archived Empty Shelves

    Target says they need sales. If we don't make sales we don't get more hours. Target cannot increase there sales if the shelves are empty and the merchandise is in the back. For example the dairy section is almost always empty yet there is pallets of dairy in cooler. I'am always asking for more...

    Warning: rant. So I am often the hardlines team member that does guest first, the only team member when I am working to help a guest shop, and cover electronics.

    Sooo I'm new and this might sound like an extremely dumb question but I am a member on hardlines and I will be starting my second day this week.

    What’s the general rule on how long a new product have to sit in the shelf before it’s considered ok for a TM to buy? My AP had mentioned something about it but I honestly don’t remember what he said.
