Is anyone else's store starting to worry them?

Also guests ignore the "card or contactless payment" screen.

This. Drives. Me. Absolutely frickin' BATTY.

And then some Karens get pissy with me because they "Didn't realize it's card only." You didn't say anything." Like it's my fault. Yeah lady, I have loads of time to tell people which SCOs take cash... 🙄

I'm seeing a lot more of ETLs on the floor because they're salaried, which I know's it retail and the managers won't only get Starbucks and walk around but much more of this and it'll be too many chiefs not enough indians sort of thing

All the leaders (TL's included) in my store are done. They all have Sicidis (Sick of this) disease, which is highly contagious. There have been heated arguments and tearful breakdowns and we have not even begun the worst part of the year. So soon there may not be enough "Indians or Chiefs".
Its hard to keep others going when you can't find the will to keep going yourself. The store feels like the Greek god Sisyphus except instead of rolling a humongous boulder up the hill every day we roll a raging dumpster fire up the hill and when its gets to the top we watch it roll back down just to push it back up again tomorrow and the next day, and the next day and the next day. Sicidis.
But as we say at my store instead of 'Tomorrow's another day" we say 'Tomorrow's another dumpster fire. Bring your marshmallows"

They keep telling us during crunch times "you got this!" and I'm like. I don't want to have this. I want things to get BETTER, not worse, while being told "we can do it, team!"

This is my store; I’ve never seen it this bad. I have 2 ETL’s ready to quit and TL’s are just done. I not sure how it can get better.
 
Target needs to stop hiring for just fulfillment and gets some team members hired to recover the stores. Target needs to go back to some of it's old ways. Actual zoning in each area at night, not leaving the store until it looks decent. Tired of seeing rugs all over the place, piles of clothes ALL OVER the floors. Target has become an embarrassment!!!!!!
 
Just shopped at my old store for the first time in a couple of years. Holy mother fuck what happened. Midday u boats of push every where, the zone was absolutely trashed( wal mart Saturday night bad). Everything is locked behind glass, like I would need a personal shopper. The poor gstl or whatever it is now was about to cry. Back up 5 deep no one to call. A Karen losing her shit in line. Sending good vibes and cold beers your way lord knows you need it

@qmosqueen - why is your store canceling so many trucks? are you *that* understaffed? ☹️

_
Used to be when our store would cancel a truck, it would be added to another day, or we'd get a double -- depending upon staffing & number of truck days that week.

Yes we are that understaffed. They wanted 6 double trucks 2 weeks ago. only took 1 double that week. The back room is filled with merchandise mostly STOd. Currently we are running out of room to locate anything’s in the back room.

Anyone’s store have this many 7 outstanding trucks just waiting at the distribution center ??

We seem to be canceling a lot of trucks lately. Certain areas like paper and toilet paper are empty.

Just not enough team members to unload a truck at $ 15/ hr.

The problem is the DC is closing a new one every 14 hours which is on pace for 12 trucks a week. So by the time they work the seven on your schedule, 8 to 12 more will have closed.

the op said that they wanted 6 doibles 2 weeks ago . Which is not a normal schedule for them I assume . @qmosqueen correct me if I’m wrong.

The mess started when they failed to take the first single with 100 H lead in time and to stay on track for the rest of the trucks doubles or not.

Not sure what dc that is . But I know that 306 is struggling to deliver doubles to my former store . Out of 14 trucks scheduled they barely deliver 9.

Christmas miracle for my former store they have all the hours to unload all those trucks and when dc cancels they just don’t know what to do with themselves and start helping other departments

My store canceled a bunch for inventory because it was that bad. Scheduled for 5 doubles this week lead team was at like 210 hours to start this madness. Nobody understands how to schedule for a double and it basically instantly goes back to the same problem.

That is where all the troubles starts . Scheduling right is where you are set for success .

I always scheduled 140h for double . Excluding market push, tech, entertainment and style .

This is the toughest holiday season I have experienced in 11 years. Our team is burned out already by the amount of workload, callouts, and lack of devices to do our jobs effectively.
