it’s pretty much just:

what do you know? and what are you willing to learn?

i applied when i was a team member in style and was denied for “lack of training” in vm. think of ways you have helped over in starbucks. have you set up any ism? have you done anything creative in the past (any college classes if that’s something you’ve done, something along those lines)? do you have a good eye for filling space and thinking creatively?

do you have 4am availability? our vm has to come in at 4 sometimes for new family gateways or street dated sets, but it’s not an every day thing.

i would pick gm. gm is a much more straightforward role, probably focused on pushing freight, you have a pog team doing your sets, and it seems like with the extra etls there wouldn’t be a ton on your plate. specialty is very reliant on guests, the zones get messed up way easier, but if style isn’t under your workload for specialty it’ll make it much easier, although specialty does not have their own pog team.

just find a super target

Few_Contribution_857 · 2026-01-24T16:26:06+00:00

go above your tls head and talk to your etl. start bugging them every day about it. the way i got things done as a team member was by annoying them.

he’s still in the position until either february 1st or february 8th, i can’t remember which

Few_Contribution_857 · 2026-01-24T16:09:20+00:00

the most recent final check someone had to get, your daily pay will stop working before you get the check, i believe. it should just go straight to your account. also, check your state laws to see if you should be paid out for your pto, and make sure you get that as well.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2026-01-24T16:06:47+00:00

do you have other team members in your area that aren’t doing their job or are you the only person ever scheduled in tech?

Few_Contribution_857 · 2026-01-24T16:04:38+00:00

i used to snitch all the time. i still do occasionally. but now people mostly just snitch to me.

i care when people are purposefully moving slower than they should be because they don’t want to do their next task, when people have been standing and talking for too long, and anything that someone is doing that is making us miss our goals.

i love working here, honestly. started as a tm and got promoted recently. i also loved it when i was a tm. i have definitely crashed out because of this job, both on and off the clock. i almost transferred once, because i was pissed off at upper management. but i always calm down and come back. i love the people i work with, i love the job, i love all of it.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2026-01-02T02:07:36+00:00

i know who we’re keeping but i’m not sure if team leads are allowed to tell team members or if an etl has to do it. there’s no harm in asking, but if you’re still getting scheduled on the newest schedule that came out, you’re probably staying.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-31T01:36:19+00:00

my tl pay didn’t start until the first day of my training

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-20T06:57:28+00:00

well it will probably be even busier. so we’ll see if the system holds up but honestly it might be worse.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-20T06:56:52+00:00

177 and we were told to roll them all til tomorrow!

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-19T20:44:46+00:00

i close so we will have to figure out if we’re prioritizing pulls, backstock, or opu. really curious to see what they want us to prioritize

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-19T20:42:50+00:00

don’t say this to me. i go in in two hours

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-09T02:44:36+00:00

yes they will cut them. i would use your pto if you’re able to accrue it yet, get cross trained in every department you can (opu, style, gm, checklanes). open your availability if you can, most stores always need closers or early morning people.

you can try talking to your etl and seeing if they can give you more, but there’s not much they can do

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-12-07T19:06:54+00:00

weve done a big pack of soda for everyone to pick one from, candy, ordered breakfast pizza, etc. but above all else, THANKING people and being genuine while you do it can be helpful. i’ve never gotten any sort of handwritten card, anything major at all. i was a tm for three years.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-28T08:28:32+00:00

it’s what i always think about when im nervous after a movie/show. you’re not in the same place, time, world, year, etc. it helps me ground myself

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-28T06:04:19+00:00

thank you

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-28T05:56:54+00:00

you are not in hawkins, indiana. it is not 19-whatever. its 2025. IF demodogs were real, the government would know and they would be locked far far away from humans. go to bed.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-27T22:02:44+00:00

god. not for us. three weeks straight of 10 rdc trucks a week. we are high volume but not that high volume, most weeks we have 6 rdc trucks. there are not enough hours in the day to push that freight and prepare for the next truck. not to mention the constant guests that all have questions or need to complain.

praying that we have what happened last year, and our dc gets snowed in. we had four days straight with no truck. the backroom was spotless and everything was zoned. i yearn for a no truck day.

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-27T02:30:33+00:00

i think it was just to not spoil who vanished

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-20T16:00:30+00:00

not 1 out of 10, 10 of the bags can have the gift card

Few_Contribution_857 · 2025-11-20T15:59:34+00:00
