2023 New pilots?

[gsa4lyfe]

Interesting.

So if you are a TM that has to work overnight are the only pay that extra $1?

Our store currently has some overnight TMs because of the remodel so maybe they will do it?

Thing is if there is only five or six of them.

Depends . Some do it during the day and others overnight .

Self counts are all dayside unless there is some extreme need for it. Most high volume will be a two day count with the backroom one day and sales floor the next.

Not really. Mine is overnight as well as 10 other stores in the district . We trade tm to help other stores .

 

[moninity]

How does it work when nothing is zoned correctly in the store?

 

[BackupTL]

When do they actually do the inventory?

After closing?

Late day or during the day has been the trend. Starting around 6pm and working through close, but it may change with this pilot.

I suppose it can be store or district discretion but direction is definitely to be dayside due to the cost of shift differential. Same reason most inventories even with wis went dayside a few years ago. They saw little to no accuracy difference for the added cost.

I hope the inventory people don't get pulled for cashiering the way floor people do.

It took us from ~4pm to midnight to do our inventory alongside WIS this year (they showed us how to use the handhelds and let us go). $110M store.

They report to the MIL and your OD for the day not the store so this won’t happen. They are also asked to wear black and only have a name tag on to show they work at target.

This is normal, since Covid wis has struggled with staffing and typically asked for target to help count apparel the last couple years. Self count stores would completely cut out WIS and their devices.

 

[Ashfromoldsite]

We are a standard prototype. 125,000 square feet.

Probably meant what size as in how much sales. Lol.

 

[Greenandred]

Yes, that’s my store size. I’m not sure how to access annual sales.

 

[gracefulfillment]

MPM > Store Facts will give last year's sales. Also available on greenfield

 

[nevermind]

Nobody covers anybody's shifts at my store. Callouts & sheduled time off galore. The work just doesn't get done. Where's the SD? Oh she's not in today.

 

[jenna]

This pilot has already started to be a blood bath.

So, any updates?

 

[EndcapQueen]

So, any updates?

My store has inventory this week so any talk of the pilot has been put on the back burner for us. I was supposed to find out how many TMs & payroll I’ll get yesterday but everyone was too busy 😅

 

[gracefulfillment]

So, any updates?

Leadership is still trying to figure out who all's doing what and where they're going...

You can bet wherever hours are they'll be robbed for OPU and cashiering in one way or another

 

[allnew2]

My store gained one more etl Gm , extra etl logistics and 2 more inbound leads .

So not guests first? If there's a line 20 people deep and someone is in girls, no backup?

Not if you’re on the inventory team. You don’t work for the store you’re just working in that store. The normal tms backup like normal.

 

[REDcardJJ]

team members supporting WIS or RGIS inventories shouldn't be pulled for backup cashier or fulfillment anyway per best practice

 

[flow4areasonuno]

This just in: the brand new Please Steal From Us policy!

SCO attendants are not allowed to merely watch SCO and help cashiers/guests. Now they have to be stocking candy too.

I'm a dummy and I still sometimes feel like I'm the only one who cares about watching SCO for thieves.

 

[Dysprosed]

Your role isn't to watch SCO for shoplifters; it's to engage and interact with the guests so they have a pleasant shopping experience. One side effect of that action is that it naturally reduces shoplifting. Most guests don't need anything more than a friendly acknowledgement. Stocking candy won't kill you.

Not sure that's related to the pilot though.

If your stocking candy near SCO that’s ok but, if you have to stock candy at all check lanes then you can’t properly watch or assist Sco. I think SCO should only do Sco and maybe assist cashiers who need help.

Yeah that's the issue, they want you doing it all over checkout. It wouldn't be so bad if they ALSO didn't scold you for missing a thief while you were doing this stuff.
