It's still in the pilot phase and you can read about it on Workbench under pilots. There's nothing secret about it.

At my store none of the tls/etl/stl will talk about it. So yes at my store it is. If you even casually mention it to a tl they will just go I can't talk about it because I can get in trouble if I do.

Your role is to run both areas. If you're already a consumables TL, then it should be a pretty easy transition. Just do everything you've been doing, but in fewer shifts. Then work like 1 or 2 shifts per week in Food Ave. When you're in market, pop over into Food Ave and check to make sure the team is doing ok and if they need anything. When you're in Food Ave, go spend a few minutes in market and do the same.

Except consumables is now in charge of the flow push in market, and auto/caf pulls for market. On top of the fdc Truck
 
I'm a senior with consumables already, just losing my hardlines departments and taking on sbux + food ave along with the truck stuff. Once I'm trained I'm told I'll have one sbux shift a week, just overseeing food ave, then the rest will be my usual LOD or market shifts. The guides on workbench have a lot of info, but it isn't being talked about very much yet.

No, that is not what this is. You're confusing the grocery operating model with the AE transition of SB/FA TL to Food TL.

Lower volume food service team leads are now taking over Pfresh. That's it. The new grocery team pilot is completely separate. If your store is getting it at the same time, that just is a coincidence.
 
My store got the grocery rollout less than 6 months ago and i just heard recently that we're undoing it. Between hours drops and lower sales, I believe it was doomed at my store from the start.
In regards to the combining of the Starbucks and FA TL positions... well, I know for a fact that our FATL is pissed. He works his ass off. Furthermore, I don't see most of our FATMs being a good fit for Starbucks and probably won't even be willing to cross-train. I'm surprised that Starbucks Corporate is OK with this.

FATMs don't need to cross train into Starbucks any more than they did before.
 
With the standalone FA's menu being more pre-prepped items. It kind of makes sense. Years back you needed a TL and Specialist or two to keep up with the ever changing menu, cleaning schedule, equipment....

But for the FA especially with PHs, it would be hell. A CTL would drown having to watch FA/SB and Market. Is there any other made to order FAs still out there?

I hope that's how it plays out at my store. If they combine ETL-HR and -GE, though, they might not see it that way, especially considering that we don't have enough people who are certified SB baristas on payroll. The current ETL-GE pretty much just leaves SB and FA alone. I hope that trend continues.

So they're going to have a consumables tl that is over food Ave/Starbucks and then a market tl? My store doesn't have to worry about Starbucks/food Ave TL. We don't have a Starbucks and never had a food Ave TL. We do however have a consumables tl, that is over all of market. So I guess I'd be easily confused with it all. Sorry.

Market is consumables. Those two terms are interchangeable. Target is now saying that a lot of stores will have one Food TL that is over market, Starbucks, and Food Ave. For your store, the market TL (aka consumables TL) will now cover Food Ave in addition to market.

I have a feeling they won't... My food Ave has always been run by the gstl, and don't feel like that's going to change. Especially since my store is getting the new market rollout. That would just be adding more work to the consumables tl plate, that doesn't need to be added.
 
That seems like a gigantic mess hopefully that's a low volume store only thing?
 
Seems to be an issue for all GM stores but worse in low volume stores. We are going into this withour any info whatsoever.. it was never tested in GM stores with no pfresh

It should be easy with no pfresh. Food TL would just be in charge of FA/SB. Store leadership might make the decision to give them another salesfloor role though.
 
Food service TL is in charge of sb/fa. Food TL takes care of consumable/grocery. It is a new position rolling out next week.
 
My consumables tl will sink with the market rollout. He's barely staying above water with his current roles, when he has to do everything with the market rollout he's going to sink, and fast

IMO, realigning all of the food TL positions was just a small move in the bigger picture of transitioning every store towards the new grocery rollout. Making grocery profitable and drawing guests into the stores for consumables has been a priority for a while now, it just wasn't given the attention it needed in the past.

the point is that many stores have health code violations. it had multiple tl's and etl's covering it. 2 people is a lot easier for a responsibility stand point. plus its cheaper having one tl do the work of 3 in some cases.
 
I'm super confused on this position in my store. We are a low volume recently remodeled pfresh store. Our usual weekends generate about $150,000. We have a Food TL who is a senior and as far as I was told is not going anywhere.

I have recently moved from the Electronics TL spot to our Starbucks which is brand new to our store. We are still being built and will be opening end of march. Before I left for my Starbucks training all I was told was that Starbucks would now be aligned under food and I would be splitting my time between Buxs and PFresh. Nothing was said about me owning food.

Cut to I'm back from training and I'm reading more and more about Starbucks TL's owning food as well. At the store I trained at the TL was informed mid training. But as far as I've been told our Senior Food TL isn't going anywhere.

My question is why would this be at our low volume store? If bigger and higher volume stores are having a TL run Starbucks, Cafe and PFresh, why would a low volume store have a Food ETL, Food Senior TL and a Food TL?
 
This makes total sense now, the consumable/pfresh guys are covering my lunches now. When before, it was a GSTL or a TM cross trained over here.

Lower volume stores shouldn't have all those positions. I thought only Super Targets had Food ETLs and Food TLs before this year.

Exactly. I'm nervous that my Buxs will open and the Senior Food TL will go away and I'll be in charge of food without them ever asking me to take over it.
