the closing tl rumor pops up often. when i took the position, i originally told my SD i would take it since i felt like we were trending away from closing tls. my SD reached out to our DSD and we were told that there was as no bases to the rumor. i am VERY interested in hearing if anything has changed or if this is an actual rumor…
with the emphasis on the zone, and guest impressions that is currently happening, i do feel like it would be silly to do away with closing tls. there is definitely value added to having consistency with closing even if many days i wish i wasn’t a closing tl… or wish that it was a slightly elevated position compared to the previous 4 TL spots i’ve cycled through.
absolutely cannot get rid of a fulfillment tl though. as a closing tl, i run fulfillment most nights… but if there’s a morning without the fulfillment tl, pick on time is almost always red due to no one wanting to take ownership of fulfillment in the fulfillment tl’s absence.
