We've had shipt shoppers walk out with the items because they and whatever team member isn't know what they were doing. If the shipt does t get audited it shows up on an AP report.
No and definitely not. Only a select handful of SAs get #s....not everyone who works over there does. Those of us who have them have worked GS for a long time and are considered de facto leaders when the actual GSTLs aren't there.
Long-time lurker here, I've been a Cashier/GA/whatever with GSA responsibilities (I don't even know what to call that at this point lol) for several years now. Just wondering how your stores handle "item not found" returns for clearanced-out items?
Long story short(ish), had a guest come in the other night with about $200 of merchandise to return, my GS team member did everything she could off of the receipt but was having issues with a couple items so she called me over. As I looked it over I realized the receipt was from January, so I was impressed that it was working for any of the items (I think because they were a store brand and sometimes return policy is extended on that?), and so I explained to the guest that the receipt had expired, but was still letting us do most of it, it just wouldn't let me add the last couple items due to our 90-day return policy. I told him I would see if I could process them as a no-receipt return and get him a giftcard instead, as I've generally been advised to do--he was fine with that, so I started that process. There was one remaining $20-$30 item that was zeroed out and no matter what came up with the red "item not found" screen, so I told him that unfortunately we didn't sell that particular item anymore, so it wasn't in our system and we were unable to issue a refund, which is what I've always been told--if you can't make it happen on the register, then it can't be done (barring extenuating circumstances). He made a scene about it, I ended up calling up my closing TL who backed me up, he took our names for corporate and proceeded to storm around the store to spend the giftcard from the other items before leaving.
Today, was told by my SETLs (who are great, usually I'm totally on board with how they handle guest situations) that he had called the store this morning, and I was basically told that they decided to back me up this time, but in the future I should just issue a free giftcard for the value of the item as an apology for the "inconvenience"? That's not something I remember ever having anyone do in my years there and just seems off to me, just wondering if that's standard at other locations or what. Getting really frustrated with my store continuing to basically give away merchandise/giftcards to rude guests just to avoid bad surveys.
Ck the pog. Should be on fixture list.Hey, would anyone happen to know the part number for this? It’s the label holder for gift cards inside the lanes. Thanks!

I’ve noticed more errors with processing drive ups / order pick ups at my store. A lot of endless spinning or it will say “there was an error. try again or ring up at pos,” which for drive up orders just isn’t a viable option. trying again usually gets it, but i’m always worried it won’t actually process it and end up a walked order. it will eventually go to the red thank you screen, but 😬
Have any of you noticed this happening more often? Or it could just be a wifi issue with my store as of late.
They’re just doing their job.Yes, I've seen this as well. It made me grateful that we are saving stickers so that the SETL/ETL can audit them later and make sure they go through because I don't want AP hanging around because of potentially walked orders.
I occasionally return items as 099-09-0999 if they have a receipt, and then I defect the item out. I don't do it unless I can see what they paid though on a receipt.

At our store all of snitches, we tell on each other constantly, like the old Soviet Union.Oh I know and that's totally fine. Our AP-ETL can be a bit grumpy and stresses out my fellow TMs and then I have to hear the TMs complain about him.
An pos update, 2 weeks ago.The heck happened to K1 even exchange? How do I do an exchange when a category coupon was used (cough, kids clothing deal)?
So we’ve been in the red for return to stocks for some time now. We’ve had a lot of walked orders even with auditing our completed orders. Are other stores struggling with this or are we just crazy bad?
I feel like it’s a connection issue or glitch a lot of the time (or at least some of the time), but I could be wrong. I’m just confused as to how a drive up order could go unprocessed? Like wouldn’t the time continue to tick and wouldn’t someone notice that? I’ve seen the annoying try again error and the app timing out way too much, but I’m curious if your service desks have struggled with RTS and walked orders?
Out RTS metric has been red also.
I don’t work in the front so not entirely sure why they can’t get it green. When I open I remind the desk to clear the RTS before 9 am and to NOT hit “not there/can not find”. They claim that more drop in throughout the day that they miss later and that is why they are red. I don’t think that is it- I would think the ones after 9 today need to be cleared anytime b4 9 am tomorrow- so clearing them each morning should keep it green. I don’t get what the problem is but we have been red forever.
Return to stock is more than the 9am time. Orders not processed correctly results in shortage so this should be a huge focus. RTS will drop all day and you need to be honest when something is missing and partner with AP to identify a cause.Out RTS metric has been red also.
