COVID-19 Coronavirus...

Although the cleaning stuff he is proposing probably won’t be happening. One person wiping down carts?

Although the cleaning stuff he is proposing probably won’t be happening. One person wiping down carts? Really?

The only way I can see this working in my store is if they put more people on the schedule in the front end or they pull people from style. We still don’t have a dedicated person cleaning so they are interrupted usually to do DU.

Just if you get COVID-19? Or any reason you are unemployed?

Furlough or lay off, I believe. Get on your computer and stay on top of it.

 

[Tessa120]

That would be good. I'm formally laid off (encouraged to reapply when business gets back to the same sales volume, so definitely not fired). My husband's job is simply ending, company bought out.

There is no way my store could do groceries in OPU and DU anytime soon even without COVID-19. We aren’t set up for it at all.

When I first started, too new for proper terms, leadership would get on the walkie saying to get guest holds out of the cooler and freezer. I even saw them bring up cold groceries one time. I don't know the type of hold it was.

So how much different could OPU and DU be just because ice cream and ground beef are added in, if storage in the cooler and freezer are allotted space?

For my store, freezer is on the opposite end from guest service for one. Off topic btw.
The bill passed the Senate not the house yet. Fingers crossed it doesn't get held up

You have to get special licensing and training to do it. It has to be approved by the health department, more people need more food safety training. You can't just start doing it.

They took away your break room???? That is harsh. I hope this isn't a trend coming to other Target stores.

Our store took out half the chairs and tables from the breakroom and conference room. The TL office is also a available for breaks and lunches.

 

[Cinnamon2005]

We sit in our cars or out front on the benches. One guy brought a lounge chair and I saw him sitting in it beside his vehicle.

My store doesn't have benches any more. They were removed earlier this year.

There are separate cooler/freezers for the OPU/DU items. Ours are near the front of the store.

How would this work for tms? Do we need to go LOA?

 

[dannyy315]

They just passed the stimulus bill in Congress that includes 4 months of full pay for unemployment benefits

And apparently we each get a $1,200 check if we’re still employed.

 

[sunnydays]

Senate stimulus deal includes individual checks -- but don't expect the money until at least May - https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/senate-deal-stimulus-checks-coronavirus/index.html heres a bunch of words you can read about the bad stimulus bill that wont give you any money until may at the earliest

Are TMs wearing face masks in stores?

 

[sunnydays]

if they have their own masks they can yes

 

[Ringwraith917]

I've seen some TMs wearing them

 

[Ringwraith917]

Real question time. I work at Target every day (5-6/7) following enhanced hygiene procedures. How do I know I'm not an asymptomatic carrier? There are probably dozens (hundreds?) of us who feel "normal" but actually are sick. If we never show symptoms how do we know we should stay home? They're not testing people who aren't severe.

 

[Ringwraith917]

IMHO this is more like chickenpox in that everyone generally gets it sooner or later. We're just working this hard to keep everyone from getting it at the same time. There's no stopping it until a vaccine is found. The places where it isnt yet will get it, but hopefully the places hit hard already will have recovered somewhat by then.

You can't know if you are an asymptomatic carrier without being tested and at this point they won't test you. Use universal precautions. Work as though everyone else is infected and work like you are possibly infected.

How are other stores handling the 6 ft distance with respect to SCO? Do you only have every other register open?

Not sure I like the "no strings attached bailout" for corporations.

 

[rd123]

Yeah I think only thing we can do is keeping social distance and make sure you cover your sneeze and cough, wash your hands ....🙄

 

[Militantagnostic]

Don't worry guys, everything will be back to "normal" after Easter, just make sure to invest in bubble suits for Memaw and Pepaw to get around in since we have to make some sacrifices for the good of the economy.

 

[RedcardReba]

Boomers mad.

But, okay, let's go into this.

Who is the reason it spread in multiple states? Boomers.

Who refused to self-quarantine in the early days? Boomers.

Who refuses to let any progressive policies such as universal health care or paid time off pass because they by-and-large vote Republican? Boomers.

Who refuses to close down Target because they have to do shopping? Spoilers, both the whining guests and corporate are...You fuckin' guessed it, boomers.

Whew, you are spouting utter nonsense

 

[Tessa120]

Don't. Just don't. This was several days and several pages ago, the argument is dead and buried. Don't try to restart it.

 

[oath2order]

Nope.
