Dying of jealousy.

The register finally started working at 1pm. The mid (1030-7) called off (might actually go down as a NCNS...), so someone who has no experience is covering my lunch. I was going to do like a 16 hour day with no breaks or lunches but the LOD caught on and forced me to go. I'm taking my lunch right next to Starbucks right now in case she has a question. 15 minutes of training and she's doing ok lol.

 

[Coqui]

sounds like legit Target training lol

I've taken lunches in Starbucks before too 🙄. Has the blender pitcher rinser changed your life yet? My team goes nuts if its out of commission for 15 minutes.

Oh, one more thing - 2 double door under counter fridges! I have a ton of extra space in there now, I don't know what to do with it all lol.

Oh, I'm sure you'll think of something. lol
Pretty soon it'll be just as full.
Can't wait to see what it looks like 😀

Absolutely. The only weird thing is that I'm used to just setting a pitcher in the sink and letting it run while I ring up the next guest. Now I set them next to the sink and use the rinser when I need it and it's almost instantly rinsed lol. It's incredible. Although I have to press down way harder than I expected to. I think I'll have to do a combination of the rinser and the faucet when I'm busy. We'll see. It's all so new! My muscle memory is useless. I have to stop and think about each step lol.

Now I have enough counter space to put the iced coffees on the counter. So... Yeah tons of unused space right now, unless I want to put a dozen gallons of whole milk back there.

Also, with all of the extra space in the condiment bar and below one of the merchandise displays (where the wall bay was), I might gain tons of backroom space! I already am lucky enough to have way way above average backroom space, so now the only time it'll even be full will be after those huge shipments in the fall. But even then, I'll have enough room for all of it if I do it right. I should show you guys a picture of my backroom space. It's huge, especially for my volume Starbucks.

I'm SO jelly.....😛

Today is a hell of a rough day, but I've got such a great thing here that I think I might never leave Target. Things can change quick, but it's real good right now. Complete 180 from where I was a few months ago.

 

[redeye58]

I remember a feeling like that years ago when Bob was still CEO 🙁

You can adjust the little knob thing on top of the bpr to make it looser. I always just upend the pitcher on the riser when I go take the next order. Works great.

Also, I love talking to you guys. Sharing information. Sympathizing with the struggles that we all have. Celebrating good things. It's great. I've also started communicating with the other 9 SBTLs that share my DM. Similar stuff with those email chains. The support I've had lately is phenomenal and I appreciate every bit of it.

Thank you!!!

 

[Yetive]

Me too--especially since my DM has only one other Target.

This thread in particular has been a saving grace since I've returned.
Nothing like com padres in arms 😉

Glad to know that we got a strong network here 🙂 I'm about to start my closing shift in about 15 minutes. Should be interesting especially since it's like 100 degrees this weekend.
