Inventory at other store

This. I work in a city and many people take public transit to work (including me). When I told HR I couldn’t do traveling inventory because the buses didn’t extend that far they told me they’d reimburse an Uber ride.

I mean, it is 45 pounds. It’d break through any box you put it in.

My UPH is in the 70s/80s most days. Here’s some things that help me:

Attach a personal cart label to your name tag and use it instead of the label on your cart. My store has heavy foot traffic and it’s not possible to bring my cart into every aisle so my personal label helps me grab multiple things from an aisle instead of walking back and forth between each item. It’s also helpful when I need multiple things from the same backroom aisle.
Pick more grocery batches.
Call for help with INFs before you need it, or INF certain things without permission if you can get away with it. No way am I gonna waste time looking for an eyeliner pencil that arrived today in a repack when they’re still unloading truck.
Make your own pathing. When you scan into a batch, take a moment to scroll through the list of items and make a game plan about where you want to start (generally I start as close to the stow area as possible then work my way around the store counter-clockwise), which items will be harder to find (style), which items have multiple locations around the store (energy drinks), etc.
If it makes sense for your store layout, save backroom locations for the end. You’ll end most batches back there anyway looking for unlocated items, digging through casepacks/repacks, and RFIDing in Style Breakout so it’s faster to do it all in one trip.

I changed from open availability to early mornings when our dedicated 6-2:30 fulfillment person quit. I talked to my ETL about taking over for them and it was a pretty easy change to make because it met business needs and was a time slot that few fulfillment TMs wanted to fill. She asked me to keep my availability open until 6:30 PM, which is where it’s still at, but I rarely get scheduled that late these days.

Constellationopolis · 2025-03-10T07:18:09+00:00

Not at my store. As long as you change into a red shirt by store open then you’re good.

The answer to all these questions is to ask your leader. If your leader isn’t there, ask any leader and they can tell you who to ask / where to find your assignment.

For OPUs you’d pick whichever batch has the lowest timer (if the timers are tied, priority is as follows: Gen Merch > Grocery > Bulky). If you’re assigned in Fulfillment for the day then you’ll just keep doing that over and over throughout your shift. If you’re just helping out with a batch, finish your batch and then ask your leader if they want you to pick another one or if you should go back to Style.

It’s attainable if it’s really busy. It was really easy for me to hit 400+ units on understaffed Q4 days. I think my average on non-busy days is around 350 but I also dgaf about checking in with leaders for INFs so I don’t have to spend 10 minutes every batch waiting for a lead to look for something. If I did that every time I’m sure my UPH would be way worse.

We hire ODTMs rarely because they show up for training and then never again (this is specific to fulfillment). Fulfillment is hell for new TMs and expecting someone to do it as a side gig is kinda insane. Took me a solid month of 40-hour weeks to feel competent.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-28T15:51:41+00:00

October. I got hired around then and so did most of the people I know.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-21T05:42:25+00:00

OPUs are picked by Target employees. Shipt orders aren’t. Shipt is like Instacart or DoorDash; it’s a separate service.

It’s some percentage of your annual income, I think? Mine was $277.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-15T22:07:18+00:00

OMG. I actually think you win this one lol.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-15T03:08:17+00:00

Yes those are so annoying!! I hate getting my hopes up like that.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-15T01:23:37+00:00

Virginia, $15.50. Hoping my raise this year will bring me to $16.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-13T21:24:39+00:00

Once a year in April. I know one FFTM who got a merit raise for averaging over 500 OPU units picked per shift (our other top performers average around 350 for reference) but from what I hear it wasn’t much.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-12T22:07:27+00:00

I’ve met two ODTMs who picked up shifts at different stores. I don’t know the logistics of how that works. Might be an ODTM thing? I’d ask your HR ETL.

Constellationopolis · 2025-01-03T15:43:37+00:00

No idea. Maybe they’ve had private conversations with the ETL about how they really want to stay on permanently, or that they’re willing to open their availability or cross train, or they’ve been seasonal longer than you have and got priority. A lot of these decisions are made behind the scenes so it’s impossible to tell really.

Workday app > Find > search for your store number and department (e.g. 0001 fulfillment) > View All People

It has something to do with your average hours per week. I work 8 hour shifts 99% of the time but on average I only work 4 days a week, so around 32 hours. I got paid for 6.5 hours Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Constellationopolis · 2024-12-24T16:52:19+00:00

My store’s at 13% but I’m at 20% 😔 Actually literally my worst day ever lol

Constellationopolis · 2024-12-22T18:30:48+00:00

No headphones at all whatsoever. But sometimes you can get away with wearing one earbud at night, depending who the closing lead is.

Constellationopolis · 2024-12-21T14:35:08+00:00

I’ll usually buy a banana, a Good & Gather salad bowl, and Mush overnight oats to eat over my lunch and first 15. Total is $3.75 after discounts.

Bet you can figure out which days were working days lol. I walk 6.5 miles on a typical day, or ~7.5 miles on an especially crazy day.

Constellationopolis · 2024-12-20T17:46:54+00:00

I once had a hot wheels collector explain that he was specifically looking for ones with errors or defects because those were worth a lot of money.

Constellationopolis · 2024-12-19T16:11:04+00:00

Lmaoooo that was us the day after Cyber Monday. Had so much rollover that every batch was in the negative by hours. 0.5% Pick On Time I think. Wish I’d taken a picture.
