I bet the "no minors unaccompanied by adults" policy expands to more stores as a result of this.

Also, this never would have happened had Spot not taken overnight shifts away from most stores. Just sayin'.

They'd have him pushing freight 'til the cops or parents came by to get him

^Our store is ON & guarantee they would've done this.

Goes to show the closing leader lost his job . He /she clearly didn’t put the motion alarm on .

 

[FlowTeamChick]

Ah-ha, motion alarms! Hadn't thought of that before, but now I see why we don't have these reports cropping up all the time. Seems like it'd be an awfully easy thing to do, hide out somewhere and stay all night inside the store. Snacks and drinks in abundance, pillows and blankets to bed down in when tired.

And maybe not the first time either.

Depends on the SL our closing lead locked team members and guests in multiple times and only got told off about it. He is still a leader on path to become and etl :/ he put his number on guest service white board though so he can ckme back an dlet people out 🙃

If this TL locked a TM in the store ONCE I could see letting it slide.

If this TL locked guests in the store they should be terminated immediately.

Bro is either a relative of a DM or has pictures of the guy with farm animals because those are the only 2 situations I can imagine this shit not resulting in immediate termination

Do the closers do a thorough walk around? With doors locked do they walk the entire store, every aisle, break room, all offices, closets, cleaning crew room, all rest rooms, back room, baler area, all exits and doors?

They should is part of the closing procedures along with arming receiving , motion alarm and arming the building

 

[Yetive]

Yes, we walk the whole store. If someone wants to be not found. It is certainly possible. It is a final and not a term.

Also they need to check the coolers and freezers in the front and back.

One would think 🙃 our SL doeant fire ANYONE. The TL is still there ans I am not for many reasons of which the complete negligence of the leasership.

Last count was 3 guests locked in and 6 team members. And this was the course of a whole year. One tm even walked out an emergency exit because they didnt know what to do. That tm then got written up for it!

The tl kept getting told to stop doing that and check better. Thats it.

My favorite was the guest found behind the compactor "trying to keep warm" by the cleaning crew -_- dude was higher than a kite.

That store smh I got stories I do NOT want to have.

It's really as simple as sitting at the front door with a grid and marking people off as they exit the store (assuming it's not a full overnight process) to make sure everyone is out. (not the kid of course)

 

[can't touch this]

now he knows where not to apply when he turns 16

 

[PaRaD0xxR]

I suppose you could very easily hide behind boxes of diapers, or toilet paper (kids have built forts before)....We once had 2 12 yo girls hiding behind diapers once (not overnight). I mean, I'm no lead, and I don't know what procedure is, but could you just not hide behind product as such? the diaper or toilet paper walls? Unless you moved product, looking down the aisle you would not see someone.

 

[Captain Orca]

Could you just "not" hide? Try "you could hide."

Rumor I'm hearing out of Corporate is "NO leaders will be fired any time soon. There are no replacements" ...and the way ny store is going they're quitting faster than they could be fired. Spot's a train wreck right now

That just feeds the turnover rate no matter what the industry.

Wow that just sad that because retail has such a high turnover rate that this would be overlooked.
