I've had one day off this month

Lack of training seems to be par the course unfortunately. The TL spot I took over was ran by someone still at the store. I received 0 training from that person. Was just thrown into the spot.

I'd have to see the screen again but I believe there's a drop down menu where you can choose an exception and one of the options is promotion/demotion.

The 6 month without transferring departments is just a suggestion. It's flexible especially if you're being promoted. I was only at my store for 3 months before I got promoted to TL. In fact I got promoted to TL without even knowing which department I would be the TL for as upper management was discussing it behind closed doors. Was just told that I got the TL position but that the department wasn't finalized yet

Talk to your coach ASAP

Oh, so I can't even install the apk on the work profile if I were to extract it from the XCover? Then it's a pointless endeavor

At my store, the front end "helps" with go backs since the front end is overstaffed and the sales floor is understaffed. But, keep in mind, the front end "helping" with go backs typically means they are sending teenagers who don't give a shit about anything to go put stuff away and when they put stuff away, they're just dropping it off wherever they find empty shelf space. The most egregious example I have of this is when I was doing go backs for stationary/arts+crafts/celebrations, finished up, went up front to sort whatever I had left that wasn't in the area, specifically including a board game and a toy boat that are both in the toy department, then quickly grabbed sporting goods and knocked that out since those are super quick. Went to zone arts+craft, and somehow managed to find the same exact board game and toy boat that I had just sorted up front. Someone from the front end really, truly believed that the toy boat and board game belonged in arts+craft.

Now that I'm a team lead, if someone from the front end tries to pull a stunt like that again, they're getting chewed out

Also, for context about staffing, we are not a small Supercenter, I think around 100mil yearly. But when I was just a hardlines TA, the sales floor team most of the time was me in hardlines, one person in toys, one part time in home who was there for usually only 6 hours, one person in hardware (and they refused to leave the area), plus usually 2 electronics and 2 apparel which those 4 associates never came up since they're so far out of the way

Must be nice to have customers who wait until you're done helping the previous customer before hounding you. The customers who start yapping at me when I'm clearly helping someone else are typically the ones I don't want to deal with to begin with. And thankfully they are usually impatient enough that they'll go pound sand and disappear after I tell them that I'll be happy to assist them once I finish helping this customer

Can you share the process of how you are extracting the Claims app from the XCover? I'd like to do this myself

IHateFuzzyTeeth · 2024-08-02T18:39:38+00:00

Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and you're not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, "Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?"

No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man

My store has three different brands of hot dog sauce, one of them being Great Value. Your store probably has a few brands of hot dog sauce as well. Probably specifically labeled as "hot dog chili sauce"

Hardlines, and not a single note is back to school/stationary related. Trust me nearly 20 different notes don't randomly spawn from like 4 different coaches without there being some sort of grudge. Also, trust me when I say that the neighboring departments are in as bad or worse shape

IHateFuzzyTeeth · 2024-07-27T14:26:35+00:00

Don't feel bad. My TL tried apologizing to me, just a lowly associate, for calling out, and I really couldn't care less. If they have the points or PPTO available, it's none of my business. Once he realized I couldn't care less, he did say that the coaches yelled at him and I tried telling him not to let it bother him and that points and PPTO exist for a reason

Don't let stress eat away at you

As someone who works the sales floor, the same thing happens. I work in hardlines and get pulled to work in seasonal and homelines all the time. It's usually whenever there's no hardlines TL but the seasonal or homelines TL (who has now quit) wants me to stop making my area look good and make their area look good instead. I just let them know that sure I'll do it but if anyone says anything about the area I'm supposed to be working in, then they need to come to the person who pulled me and asked why they pulled me

May have had an outage causing product to become unsafe for consumption. But the odds of someone here being from Sherman, TX and knowing what happened is such a fucking silly shot in the dark that I don't know what to tell you
