softlines

Hey all, long time lurker here :D but recently i got the opportunity to cross train in soft lines. I've been a cashier/Guest service tm for the past year so i'm excited to get off the front end for a bit. I have my first training shift coming up and i was wondering if all you softlines people...

Hi, Guys, I am a hardlines tm. I, get 1 -2 shifts per wk I'm softlines. Since working in softlines, becoming familiar with how things work there, I like it. Funny thing, before, I dreaded having to work in softlines, always thinking how the heck do they do it, since things are not located...

So, over the past few months we've had a gradual mass-quit in my department. This has meant that my store has been scrambling to get new people hired before we hit our busy season and End to End. What this has led to has been me, a team mentor, having to train five or six people at once. We do...

Hey guys! I just got hired and have my orientation on Wednesday but I had a few questions and I can't seem to get into contact with anyone, so I'll continue playing phone tag until I get straight answers. Figured I'd ask around here since people have some experience. 1. What do I wear?? Some...

Hi there! This is probably a long shot however, I am trying to locate a dress offered by Target. I purchased the correct dress online, however the size is not correct so I'm trying to find a different size and it is sold out online and I've called a few stores and one said that it was...

Hello! I recently completed orientation and I have my first shift coming up. I've never worked in retail so I'm not sure what to expect. I was hired as a softlines teammember, but I do have a few cashier shifts on my schedule. Like I said, I don't have any retail experience so I'm quite...

I've been at my store for nearly 8 months now as a cashier. I'm trained in Guest Service and Food Ave as well. I have helped the sales floor with zoning and re-shop before - but primarily in hardlines. Maybe ONCE that I can remember in softlines. I was given a shift in softlines seemingly out of...

Hi friends! I'm very new here, was lurking on this page for a few days prior to my interview that occurred today :) Interviewed with a store manager (STL?) then an exec (ETL? I think? Still trying to get the lingo down!!!) and was hired on the spot in softlines, but the hiring lady I talked to...

Relatively new softlines TL here looking for some advice on a project I'm looking to start, figured I should start here: I found out that stores can transfer softlines merchandise between stores at no loss (sending store gets paid out for the units transferring out), to profit at the receiving...

I'm currently in Softlines (have been for 10 months) and I was told by someone that my TL is trying to find out if she can make me a brand TM for some reason bht she hasn't asked me or anything. Question, don't people usually apply for this position? I would rather stay as softlines tbh, even if...

Hello all, I'm a pretty new member of this site and have been working at Target as a softlines TM for 8 months now. I've also noticed that all the TL's (hardlines and softlines) in my store tend to leave softlines to themselves while only really speaking to the hardlines team. It gets kind of...

So, background info, I now captain the instocks process at my store, and we've gotten to yellow for out of stocks percentage overall the last two weeks, with all hardlines departments coming in a few percentage under the goal. Though, our softlines departments are tanking the metric, especially...

Hey everyone! So a little about me. I was a Pricing & Presentation Team Leader a few years ago, left target, came back as a PA, got promoted to TL again, was on the bench for 6 months, and now will be the Softlines Team Leader at my store. Was just wondering what kind of routines you have in...

Ok guys so I really need some...a lot of help. I feel like I'm drowning in my TL role. I've been struggling with planning for the SL team. We get the scored stuff like the POGs set on time, we're even consistently working a week ahead. The problem is that I don't have enough "substance" in...

So today my store asked me if I would like to be fully in charge of softlines adjacencies.... scheduling the team, making sure POGs are set, etc. I am extremely comfortable working in softlines, but it makes me question the role of the actual softlines TL... does anyone else have a similar setup...

Just curious.

Okay so i have worked at target for over a year in softlines, usually ready to wear. Only one to finish my zone every night finger spaced every rack and all reshop cleared usually sent to other zones . (Mind you we are a high volume store and biggest softlines section in my state) . I am...

How did your TMembers do on Black Friday? Did they assign spec TMs to areas to zone all day? With the 30% and 15% Cartwheel discount,, around 4pm Friday all areas looked like a mini tornado hit.. just so much CHAOS @#$%

Any help in trying to figure out where to reshop garments esp and the diff of Mossimo Red and Black...and why is Merona clothes located all over the floor? Our store configuration is for womens clothes is an L with the bottom is the mainly ehirlation but I have noticed some merona hats and lots...

How often do you guys have everything out on the floor before you head out? Any tips, tricks, ideas for a quicker and more efficient means of getting done in a timely manner? The reason I ask is my team often has trouble coming clean, even just on carts. We get quite a bit in each morning, but...
