Why would you?

If you're drinking you're not working that's what my old SD use to say. That's what breaks are for....

 

[seasonaldude]

No. I'm pretty sure if I brought six pack in my TL would ask me to pass him one.

No I didn't mean drinking it instead of working.. I meant having the coffee or soda instead of like
a water. Sorry this is my first time using this forum.

 

[sunnydays]

do you mean when you're on the salesfloor???

The answers is no .

You shouldn’t have any drinks while working unless a doctors note for water. Your TL is doing their job

 

[OldSchoolVet]

For years, I've had my water bottle with me while working. No one has ever said anything. ASANTS.

 

[happygoth]

We are allowed drinks on the salesfloor. I see them on the three-tiers and fulfillment carts all the time, and I see TMs and TLs drinking on the salesfloor. Usually water bottles, but sometimes soda in to go cups or bottles, and sometimes Starbucks drinks.

 

[Captain Orca]

So sneaking a 16 oz PBR back by the baler ain't cool? Petty bullshit.

 

[FlowTeamChick]

We're allowed to have only water on the floor, and it has to be in a clear bottle that can be closed. However, it seems like there are always those couple of TMs that enjoy going against the rules AND get away with it. I sort of keep hoping that one TM in particular will spill her soda, which will be the end of her being *special*.

Our etl always roams around with a cup of coffee .

 

[Rarejem]

Clear liquid in a clear container with a top that closes is permitted in our store. They don't say "water" specifically, so I have no idea how much vodka. tequila, and gin is floating around out there.🤪

?

 

[NotCynicalYet]

Some permit it, some don't. And it's more of an ETL/SD thing than a TL thing. TLs don't make store policy. Haven't read the official word in a while but I'm pretty sure Target only allows water in clear bottles.

 

[Hope4Future]

I'm guessing this is an ASANTS issue that might depend on what district you are in. My old store's leadership was extremely strict about drinking (even water) on the floor/near the registers. However, I did see some team members, maybe in flex with drinks.

 

[Black Sheep 214]

Our flex team is allowed to have drinks. The team is powered by sugar and caffeine (and the occasional doughnut).😁

 

[jenna]

I see cashiers, SFS, and inbound drinking beverages all.the.time. Cashiers are often eating, as well.

I saw a SFS person dump his open can all over his cart, too. 🙄

I also see drinks stashed around the backroom. So long as it doesn't affect my area, IDGAF.

 

[dannyy315]

They are very liberal about that here. They'll give us water, Gatorade, heck even chips and ice cream on the floor.

 

[Captain Orca]

Our original TL's, ETL's and STL always loaded us up on free shit. It was fun. Everyone cleaned up after themselves.

 

[Captain Orca]

That unlimited free soda and Entenman's donuts got my ass moving getting that mustard and salad dressing lookin' real fine.

 

[60SecondsRemaining]

Imagine being a whole ass adult and being told you can't have a drink.

 

[JohnSith373]

Official policy is clear, closed containers are allowed in non-food prep area. This is allowed per heat exhaustion/stroke prevention.

Everywhere is allowed excluding the ambient room, cafe, food avenue, deli, Starbucks and any other food prepping area.

Reasoning is due to steritech/ecolab assessments, water bottles were not allowed in food prep areas. ETLs took extra precaution to expand this storewide. A recent workbench announcement clarified clear, closed containers are allowed.

 

[Captain Orca]

Since I spent a good portion of my time in the back room I didn't give a shit what the last team lead said, we did it regardless. She ass-holed herself right out of a job anyway. All other TL's and ETL's were cool. The work got done.
