Archived No cvs team members in Break Room....

[Megaparsec]

My store allows most CVS employees in, just not the ones with handlebar mustaches, because, according to my STL, you can tell those ones are "Up to no good with their constant twirling of said handlebars"

this silly decision was reversed at out store today and the people we have worked with for years are no longer banished and are welcome to use our breakroom again.

Target isn't Wal-Mart. Wal-Marts have banks, salons, McDonalds, Blimpies, and Subways in them and the stores function normally. Target has a CVS pharmacy in it and it's like a nuclear bomb has been dropped.

Perhaps they do.

But unless you've worked at Walmart, you don't know for sure.

Not to be that guy but who cares. One cvs employees aren't working for spot so they shouldn't be allowed in the break room. But second who's gonna know. ASANTS but in mine etls team leads and even the STL never go in the break room. So if a cvs employee dat in the break room no one would ever know

 

[qmosqueen]

oh and our STL ETLs are not allowed to use the CVS pharmacy bathroom, they have to use the public bathroom which they deem dirty !!

also I heard Targets cleaning crew cannot clean the CVS pharmacy area behind the counter, CVS has to find their own cleaning crew .

There are times when we have upwards of 15 Google Express shoppers, 1-2 Curbside employees, and 1-2 Target Mobile Team Members in our break room all at once. This policy would be... interesting at my store!

This sounds ridiculous. Our Target mobile,beauty advisors, and pharmacy folks are part of our team, period. The STL, ETLs, on down treat them just like anyone else. Our Target mobile "TL" is more helpful in the electronics department than some of our tms and our beauty advisor and pharmacy team are always willing to help out in HBA. Why any store would not allow them in the break room is beyond me.

That's pretty funny. No one but night crew ever uses the breakroom.

Where do you eat or take your breaks? We're not allowed to eat at food ave (and no one would want to anyway) and we don't have a Starbucks. Occasionally people might eat in their cars or on a bench outside but 98% of the time everyone eats in the breakroom, STL on down.

 

[redeye58]

Can we ban the Starbucks people too?

😱

One of the ladies who work in the Pharmacy at my store had been with the company for over 20 years. Now, shes a newbie with CVS. To add insult to injury she is told she cant sit in the breakroom she may use the fridge to keep her food cold but that's it . I would like to think that Spot has bigger things to worry about than the cvs team using the breakroom.

While "technically" a newbie with CVS, she doesn't lose her years of service. For all intents and purposes, she's now considered a 20+ yar CVS employee.

CVS, Target mobile and the cleaning crew are allowed in our break room.

Oh, trust me, they would know. There's always that ONE person who would rat them out....

NOBODY cleans ours, except US. We're a bowling alley, though, so they can't get in...

 

[Kartman]

I take my breaks in the breakroom and watch the 55" widescreen.

Almost always NCIS or 'rasseling...

 

[signingminion]

I'm curious as to what actual sensitive information is being shared in the break room? Sensitive information should obviously be kept to e-mails and in the leads' offices, not in a common area with team members...

All those metrics on the walls, the catch phrases, etc are considered trade secrets. Even the layout behind those doors possibly.

When my store had the huddle on Wed to announce the change over to CVS...we were told that IF we saw anyone from the Pharmacy sitting in the break room....we were not to confront them we were to tell the LOD.A bit of overkill I think.

And I'm sure some people will be all over that...

 

[tgtguy]

Oh, I am sure they will....I can almost tell you the ones who would run and tattle .

 

[3LetterDevil]

I can too. And what's sad is that they're also the first to ask us for "special favors." One would tell me what she/her husband needed refilled when she was cashiering.

Mobile gets commission on a lot of electronics items if they ring them up, so there is a ulterior motive there.

 

[POG997]

The majority of the pharmacy team at my store has been there since the store opened a decade ago. Only two of them ever really ate in the breakroom to start with and as of yesterday they still were.

I find it really hard to imagine our current STL being ok with banning the CVS team from the breakroom, so I assume they'll be fine until our DTL or a CVS bigwig notice.

 

[redstripes]

Possibly in time with extensive turn over the division will be accomplished, but as is, though we work for different employers, we are part of the same team. We have friends all over the store and unanimously everyone feels the same.

I see it as we were step-siblings raised together whose parents get divorced; Maybe we are not related any longer, but we will always be brothers and sisters.

 

[tgtfla]

All information in our store is treated as top secret and closely protected in case team members find out anything about what is going on,I find out everything here first and share the info with my friends,those cvs spies will never find out anything from us.

When you get two big corporations together the lawyers come with it. This is purely CVS and Target covering their respective asses to any possible litigation that could possibly (but unlikely) happen. I'm sure most stores will eventually become lax on this rule and it won't be a issue anymore.
