Whether or not if people see APS as a TL, they are keyed as one (vac accrual, tuition reminbursment, benefits, etc.)

I am a TM and I get all the above, besides maybe tuition reimbursement, that I never looked into, as I made the mistake of graduating college.

Yeah but they have better vacation accrual

 

[anathema]

Actually they are not keyed as a TL, I screen shotted that below (see employment category) . They are considered RG employees like bakers.

They are a n13 which is what some tls start at. APTL is n15View attachment 2996

Where does Sr. APS fall? I know this position has been mostly rid of but I'm assuming it's one paygrade above an APS but same responsibilities? I'm guessing it's the same, regular TM but treated as TL within store culture.

 

[Meli4Target]

They are also opening "Flexible Format" stores where there are no ETLs. Just TMs, TLs, Sr. TLs and the STL.

Yes! We have 3 flex format stores in my district. There are no ETLs or Regular TL's. It's just TM's, Sr. Team leaders, & the STL. They're pretty neat but they have their own struggles they deal with. From an operational standpoint they struggle because there is no dedicated "pog, pricing, instock team" team members are trained to know everything.

N15. Same as APTL. We are RG employees just like the PMT and Baker (for stores that have bakery?). Benefits are identical to TLs.

Responsibilities are mostly the same but we are allowed to conduct internal investigations (and the actual interview). Also we are allowed to interview new TPS hires and travel to other stores for support.

I mean tms knowing everything is pretty cool, but yeah those teams need dedicated tms. If not you need to have some of the best tms in the company just so you know they will do the job

Found out today the ETL-OP isn't leaving or changing to SF.. tis an unique position. Also, SBUX and FA sales are not going to be apart of the store's anymore. Kinda sucks for my store.

You know, it almost feels like they're doing their best to downgrade high volume stores to save money on payroll.

Oooo we just squeezed by to stay an overnight store we made it by 700,000 dollars and we made 60 million last year this year goal 62 million

Agreed but we're considered LV, and with them "redefining" ULV I bet with those reduced sales, the STL will be freaking out this year

 

[Yetive]

But how much does food service make in a LV store? If it's that close to moving down, he would be worried, I suppose.

They make sense getting rid of overnight where they can, but bumping ulv higher is odd. Its gonna cost more for that earlier unload...people lose their minds when we go back 2hrs.

It's not mainly food service, it's Starbucks they look at. They make a good portion enough for them to always be saying "let's look at Starbucks sales". Knowing them, they are worried.

 

[Yetive]

I was including sbux with food service. The goal for sbux is to be 1% of store sales, and 2% would be quite good. If your store is comping down, losing 2% sales could conceivably drop your store for next year.

From what I've "heard" from the leadership, the figure is more than 1% solely based on sbux figures. I'm wondering how they will compensate for the loss of those sales.

 

[Yetive]

They should make allowance as they did with Rx.

 

[Coqui]

My Starbucks is 2% of my stores sales so we'll see how they make that up.

The same way Target makes up for everything else by blaming someone else

 

[SFSFun]

I noticed that SFS sales also don't count. Is that new for this year? It typically accounts for 3-5% of sales at my store.

All of the ULV stores that were recategorized as LV did a 6AM unload and will continue to do 6AM.

But we're they year round 6am? Or were we still doing 8am unload at some?

 

[SrTLall]

A handful of stores were still doing 7:30, but they would be super ultra low volume if that category existed.

 

[callmetaylor]

My store is still keyed in as a 7:30 unload, but we started the 6am unload for Q4 and we're still going. I'm thinking last year we ended the 6am unload mid-January, so I can only assume it's here to stay.

Actually, if you want to get technical about it, we're a 6:30 unload now, or we were a 7am unload in the past. A few of us go in at 6 (used to be 7) and get things set, then the line team comes in at 6:30 (used to be 7:30) to start the actual unload.

That(flex not sfs) and pulling sbux sales will kill us.

My pog tl would lose her mind if we lost the signing tm position lol

I would fucking lose my mind if they got rid of my position.

I love signing
