I'm a brand TM in our store... I get full time hours more than not because I'm trained in just about everything there is to do. One of our TLs is a SRTL so we lose her to LOD shifts which means I end up helping the other TL keep things in order when she's not able to be around. I started out as a Shoe Specialist...not that Specialists exist any more. I like the variety of work and personally I HATE zoning...not that I get away from it entirely but being so multi-versed sure helps. Our store tends to use VML hours for brand work because the work being done is part of the visual outlook of the store. That way we are able to save SL hours to make sure the floor is covered for reshop and zoning.
We have corners of our FR that we park carts but we never have unsorted reshop now. Ops finish their work pretty consistently these days. I remember a time when we used to hide fifteen or twenty carts in the spare truck when we had visits but we haven't had to do that in over a year and a half now. IMHO 4th Quarter got here too fast.... ><
