TTODC: Stop sending us shitty dorm appliances and pillows! We get it, you think we'll sell a bunch...but maybe wait until we sell some before replenishing!

TTODC: Enough with the toys transition! We have legit run out of space in bulk, and at this point we are going to have to start backstocking any more transition we get - pre-tied or not.

TTODC: Stop dumping all of your excess summer pool toys on us! What the fuck are we supposed to do with 30 cases of water guns and a 4 foot tall stack of kiddie pools?

TTOGSA: Just because I have time to let you know that we are out of carts on green side, doesn't mean that I have time to go get some. I think the lesson here is to say nothing next time and let you get chewed out for it by guests and the LOD.

TTOTM: You talk about my job being so easy and how you're so good at it...so how did you manage to fuck it up bad enough in one day to tank our metrics for the week?

TTO Vendor: We called your dispatch. We put up signs. And yet you still managed to do the one fucking thing we told you NOT to do. You had one job!


It's been a long week...

Send us the kiddie pools and water guns! We can move them.
 
I take it you work at a "freaky store" too? Apparently that's the word for stores that get a lot of traffic during BTC season.
My store has all these ugly ass shippers cluttering up BGI and when you combine that with the Cat&Jack displays, the whole area looks like complete shit no matter how much effort I put into zoning it

No we aren't! I was shopping in another local Target this week and saw they have pallets of shit all over their already small softlines floorpad. They're not even near a college.

It's awful. We have so many pallets and fixtures amused together that it's almost impossible to reach the call box in infants
 
TTOTM: you are 17 and still in High School what makes you think they are seriously going to train you to be a GSA, you still have to have an open schedule and be at least 18 (I think), Trust me they asked me if I wanted the position but I couldn't because of school. They wouldn't make a "special exception" if so that is favoritism and I need to have a talk with HR.
You are not the boss and if anything they are using you. Wake Up. On top of that you are a suck up.

About half of our GSAs are in high school, and I've heard of a 16yr old GSTL. It's definitely possible if they believe in the TM enough to work within their availability restrictions.

They told me I couldn't do it because I didn't have a open schedule and the person that got the job quit their other job to have open availability, now I am pissed. Another reason why I am debating on going to best buy :mad::(

The main thing that gets me about this TM is that they parade around like they are a boss and try to tell me what to do, it drives me crazy

@dondon4720 don't go to best buy. I didn't think it was possible that there were companies that were stricter about rewards card than Spot but Best Buy bases your schedule completely on how many cards you sell. Didn't sell any? No hours for you this week.
I can't stand TMs that gotta act like the LOD though. We had one GSA that was like that despite being an abysmal worker and NCNS-ing all the time

Maybe they're actually considering him or her, so they're trying to practice. I don't see the relevance of the person's age.
 
TTO new TM: you just graduated from high school and this is your first. job. ever. (say whaaat?). You seem like a sweet kid but this isn't a place to come chill. I explained to you about how when the fitting room phone rings and it is a call button going off you need to hit "1" so TMs can hear it on the walkie. You actually said "why?". The TL was like umm call buttons are important cause we're timed on how long it takes us to get to them? Ugh. Step up your game.
 
To that stl, I heard you say (and confirmed it with the person you were talking to because I'd hoped I heard wrong) that we get scheduled for 5.5s because we "work harder" during them.

Mannnn, that is the biggest piece of bullshit. It's wrong. And even if it were true, you don't tell someone you cut their fucking hours because they "work harder."
 
Ttotm: Wow. I was really not expecting you to quit over the phone with no two weeks notice whatsoever but it's good you've found a full time job now. Best of luck to you ^_^
To those new sales floor people. Yeah if you want to stay it would be really nice of you guys could stop NCNSing. We've started taking bets on how long you're gonna last after your training shifts and nobody usually makes it past the third day on their own lolol

I don't understand that.

We used to get scheduled 6 hour shifts on a regular basis. It's still 5.5 hours of payroll, costs the company the same amount of money, and you get a paid 15 either way, and get to sit for 30 minutes on a 6 and rest up and work more productively. I overheard the a similar thing - no more 6 hour shifts "we never do that". Bullshit, they did that up until late March.

When I'm scheduled 5.5 I spend the last hour counting minutes, pretending to do busy work, sneaking water breaks. Going 5.5 hours with only a 15 min break is not enough to rehydrate and take a pee (or poop).
 
TTOTM: OK, we knew you were only here for the summer. You spent that entire time driving us nuts, taking the best shifts away from other tms (mostly our coworkers), and trying your best to charm HR and our TL. So now you decide to walk out and quit in the middle of your shift? Great. Just great.

Yup, hated that one. My store was big on the 5.75 (6 hr. state). I would rather have had the 6 hr shift to get the break and be more productive for the balance of my shift.
 
The only time a 6 hr is necessary is when you have a narrow overlap (if any).
We'd have the opener who wants to leave at 5.5 hrs because "You'll only be alone for 30 minutes. What could happen?"
Major slam, THAT'S what.
 
I'd rather have a 4 tbh. My store never scheduled 6s unless it was a mistake. And when they make that mistake we don't take meals. We just leave 5+ mins early. My body hates that, but I'd rather take the money.

But the stl wasn't specifically saying 5.5s. He said 5.5 because the woman he was talking to had a 5.5. I think he meant short shifts in general. I believe he thinks it increases our sense of urgency when we're working. But personally, I just walk in and go "yea, I can't do this in this amount of time." He also said that since we don't take a meal for a 5.5, it takes away the possibility of going into compliance. Then he dressed that up by saying "which means we have more money to do cool stuff for you guys!" They haven't done any "cool stuff" for us in so long lol. We didn't even have food for the summer holidays, and they took away the candy jars.
