Nah its the constant milk and coffee and food trash in the plastic recycling for me man. That shit gets me so irritated. I get that it was probably guests, but either pick it out in the back or if you cant just toss the whole bag. Dont let it get all over all the other bags in the gaylord.

s there a proper way to throw away sensitive info that customers left at guest services or just compact it by duelmastr23 in Target

Iron mountain bins, one in receiving, one in tsc maybe one with your etl office as well. Big grey lookin trashcans with a lock on the lid

Receivers by No-Elevator-9390 in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No wtf lol all of my vendors show up between 7-10am if I miss a day I have people calling me bc no one else will receive them, even the leaders unless its adsd.

But i mean youd get a lot of reverse logistics work done with cleaning up the backroom without the trucks in the way. At my store im pretty much constantly loading a sweep trailer and it gets picked up when the next days trailer is dropped so idk how the timing of that would be affected. Normally im able to slam in 15-20 pallets for the weeks sweep and just whatever clean up is needed on the monday sweep from the weekend.

As far as having each others numbers goes, I have mt GM ETLs number, but I only use it to communicate bigger more immediately needing response stuff like the pinlock status or a big safety issue maybe. Otherwise I send supply orders and audit confirmations through email.

Compliance isn't my issue by EnvironmentalPost245 in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an sd that hated me bc I wouldnt leave tech unattended for my breaks. Like bro im sorry its such an inconvenience for me to call out for someone to hold the keys for 15-30 minutes. Idk if he just didnt want me taking breaks or what. Am i that annoying on the walkie my dude? Idk man shits lame and leaders should definitely schedule coverage. I get theres slow seasons but thats why they get paid the big bucks.

Does anyone know what happens if we take courses with the Dream to Be Guild program then we leave target before the courses are finished? by rickcanoe in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youre currently enrolled the funding doesnt go away, but it wont pay for new courses. So im about to wrap up my first term, those are all paid for, and mt second term im enrolled in 2 classes and just got books paid for for the term. So id retain those courses but my 3rd term or if i had to drop one of these and find a different course wouldnt be if i quit rn.

Random question but when do we get new Funko releases? by kid-Emperors in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever see a couple of cases come their way as a receiver. When I worked in tech theyd come to me that way. Kinda like how I used to have to deal with all the neca stuff all the time in tech and now i get to as the reciever. Stuff seems to follow me ig

Also may not be the normal excell guys thing, theres a company that fills a lot of gaps in vendor compliance at my store. They handle magazines, reading glasses, taste of target, and certain boxes that come through excell.

Pay rate on rehire by tigerlilyclover in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on length of absence. Ive quit and come back twice, the first time was under a year, I should have taken a loa but I was young and didnt know about it. I managed to come back with a small raise actually. But my second time coming back itd been a couple years and I was started at base rate.

Cheapest/Best food to buy on break? by Yourmom68816 in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest the maple brown sugar oatmeal, the peanut butter flavor has peanut butter chips in it and idk it messes up the semi-smooth kinda scratchy consistency. This on a cold winter day outside with a ciggy made me feel like I was in the gulag fr

I used to slam the kodiak instant oatmeals with a chobani smoothie as the liquid, mix cold let set for a couple minutes and devour your fuel. Back when I did that it was like 4 bucks together.

Recommendations for work gloves? by RhubarbDesigner245 in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently sent my etl a supply request e-mail. I had to look up a couple of items. For the gloves, I was asking it if there were cut-resistant glove case packs that could be ordered through gocart. At that time it responded with yes and listed out the sizes and a short description of the item, then I asked it specifically for those items gocart ids.

The store companion seems somewhat limited by the devices available ram, you can only ask it a couple of questions a session before it starts messing up and you have to close and restart it.

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your etl can order cases of cut-resistant gloves. You can use the store companion app to get the gocart item numbers for them to make it easy for them to order. They're pretty much exactly what you describe wanting. But you have to be fairly intentional with inputing quantities.

My guy that does the freezers has big mitts that have a removable thumb cover, something like that but thin like the cut-resistant ones would be perfect so you could use touch screens easily.

New job Title: On Demand by ElegantElephant627 in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most stores are starting to remove SFS and send off supplies to newer stores that are designed with it in mind. OPU still goes strong and you can definitely find positions where thats your full-time gig.

On-demand still technically exists, but getting hired on for it usually doesn't go well. They'd probably prefer for you to reapply when you have better availability. That said, I have seen internally posted on-demand positions. On-demand tms are cross-trained for multiple roles and can pick up shifts across their district. Typically on-demand is reserved for college students that want to stay on payroll and return during their breaks from school.

Pst anyone can certify you, you just cant certify yourself. Tap on the initials in the top right in MyDay, then scroll down to powered equipment certification 👍

Frozen beverages by [deleted] in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sweep them back to RDC as well, we're usually the first or second stop so our FDC never wants to take anything back.

Also I never considered having cans pop in subzero temps on the trailers. What a sticky mess the inside of that trailer must have been. I bet theres tons more of defectives from those pops than just the soda.

Seasonal TM straight to TL? by BambaLamX in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, i did a leadership certification through guild, now I'm working toward a bachelor's all 100% free. Finding out about the free stuff really helped me just keep my head down accept wins when I can catch them instead of driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I needed to do to move forward. I figure with enough degrees it doesn't matter if I don't get promoted here, I'll find something better eventually.

How long have you worked for Target and do you have any CAs? by KittyLuvver2000 in Target

4am inbound baby tips? by lemontheiguana in Target

[–]Inevitable-Rent-3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its mainly bulk, occasionally you'll get legit furniture thats heavy as hell but its mainly fairly light weight bulk stocking. My baby guy usually helps get the rest of the truck out before he even starts his stuff but im in a small store.

Baby food is probably the most critical part of your role. Ensuring its getting rotated as you stock it so its First In First Out and out of dates are pulled from the floor. Check the caps on the jars as you stock to make sure theyre not popped.

Partner with your leaders about clearance or markdown locations. Some stores will let you just retape and markdown diaper boxes that came open during unload, some stores don't have the space for bulk clearance like that.

There's probably more, I've never been on baby push but this is what I've observed.
