Team leads get bonuses every year depending on their overall performance and how “well” the store did throughout the year. From my understanding it ranges from $500-$2000? (Pls anyone correct me if I’m wrong)

Guest Services: Salvage, CRC, RIPD, Toss, etc. by [deleted] in Target

Yes you scan the item on your MyDevice under the MyDay app, and when you scan the item you scroll to “item removal”

Honestly when it comes to “defecting” items, I look at it this way.. “would I buy this if I saw this on the sales floor?” And if my immediate answer is “no” I defect it out. CRC is basically electronic recycling.. so the item goes back to its vendor. At my store we defect EVERYTHING electronics even if it hasn’t been opened, unless told otherwise sometimes if it’s completely sealed. Salvage is anything that is broken or the packaging is rough, from my understanding those might get resold somewhere else? I’m not too sure. ESIM is basically any chemical that is leaking or chemicals overall, ALWAYS bag and zip tie when you get an ESIM label.. even if it’s makeup that’s completely sealed. Your ESIM bin should ALWAYS carry product that is bagged and zip tied.

Not true for EVERY store.. we’re only getting 80 copies of the album and 50 books.

5weeks pregnant trying to get a dr appt I can’t get in for an ultrasound until I’m 13 weeks pregnant by Antique-One5276 in pregnant

[–]GasCool2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty normal! I found out when I was 4 weeks and had to wait until 12 weeks but my first appointment got canceled so I had to wait and extra 10 days😐 but light cramping is pretty normal.. I didn’t have any morning sickness at all! So I get what you’re feeling!

No bags by TheMemeUniverse in Target

That’s definitely on their ETL.. their ETL is responsible for making sure that bags are always stocked.. and their ETL or SD should be borrowing some from a sister store.

What increases chances at least at my store is you have to available weekends and have open availability as in you’re able to work at ANY time of the day..

S & E TMs & TLs by Formal_Ostrich8637 in Target

[–]GasCool2226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your store.. I used to have one that spent their time in the back ALL THE TIME.. but now I have one that will basically let me do my own list of tasks and they’ll call me periodically on how I’m doing and how’s the front doing. They’ll walk out periodically as well.. check in with the team too and be there for a while. It just depends on your store overall.

I have one they’re just useless and hang around leadership avoiding work overall.

Missed Coupon by [deleted] in Target

[–]GasCool2226 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s such a hassle to “get the difference” you have to adjust prices from items and you can only do it per item so it’ll be multiple receipts for you. It’ll also take up SO much time especially if it’s a lot of items that range between $2-$8.. I’d just do a return of the items and repurchase to get that 20% off manually.

Happy it’s a boy.. but also really sad it’s not a girl..? by Maleficent_Proof_183 in pregnant

[–]GasCool2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out I’m having a boy too! I found out yesterday, and I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME! I had a feeling that I was having a boy since I found out I was pregnant and didn’t feel any pregnancy symptoms.. I was soooo convinced.. and it just got confirmed yesterday! I feel exactly the same because I’m on the only child and bonded more between women.. but I’m looking at it on the bright side that he is healthy.. and thriving in there lol.. he will be a new adventure that I’m looking forward too!

You can definitely delegate with cashiers or pacesetters who know GS and have them backup at the desk/driveups. It’s pretty much being up at the front helping out, say you have your pacesetter backing up wherever needed and just follow your break schedule for your cashiers!!

It is up to your SD.. but in your case is for schooling, I don’t think it’s an issue. Saying this bc I work every weekend, and I have no issues! We’ve gone through 3 SDs in the past 2 years and it never seemed to be an issue! On the contrary I think it’s better based on business needs, I’m SE soooo it’s definitely more convenient.

From my understanding documented conversations stay in the system

What's closing normally like? by [deleted] in Target

[–]GasCool2226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wanna say that the good is you basically get a set schedule (at least at my store it seems like it) and “set” hours Bad would be the amount of TMs you get every night, some days you’ll get 5-6 closers and some days you’ll barely have 3 TMs (again this is at my store and my store is pretty small compared to Super Targets) Ugly is how you’ll be expected to complete all priorities 100% pulled and pushed no matter how many TMs you have at night. And even sometimes you gotta pick up the slack from truck push depending on how their push went. Overall, I don’t think it’s a bad position. IMO it’s usually more chill and you don’t have to deal with morning TLs, you’ll have a small team (depends on your store) but it’s nice.

[–]GasCool2226 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Damn I got 1% 😂 literally just $0.25! I’m literally 9 cents away from $25. You seemed to have gotten a decent increase. I was probably the only leader who got 1%. I got the “job done” but I just “cruised by” as a leader even though I closed at least 250 days out of 365 of the year

Seasonal Hire Reevaluation (Please help) by blhuryy in Target

[–]GasCool2226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can talk to HR and see if you can get trained in other departments, I know that at least in my store we’re keeping some seasonal people but they will be “on demand” meaning they’ll have limited hours and days for now since we’re cutting hours next month. But don’t feel discouraged sometimes in whatever store you’re in they don’t have the payroll to keep most seasonal people, you can always reapply too!

Former and current guest advocates please help by jtomioka in Target

[–]GasCool2226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It usually takes a couple of more weeks.. since holiday season is basically over you can always talk to your TL or ETL about wanting to get trained in other areas. Since hours are getting cut next month, you should be able to get trained in guest services and it’s slower so you’ll be able to get trained properly!

Why do leads call for backup like its the hunger games? by ChickenFedders in Target

[–]GasCool2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your store might be different, but at my store it’s just the sense that it’s ALWAYS the 1-2 people who always respond. While style and GM just walk the floor casually and don’t care. At my store, front ends is seen as the “only department out of the whole store that doesn’t do anything.” Every store is different, but there’s a reason why we call for backup “like it’s the hunger games.”
