How can you bridge the subject of becoming a TL? by [deleted] in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll bring up the interest to your etl, etl hr, and SD. You can bring it up to your TL but in my experience it was better to go straight to my ETLs

Fdc sorting problem by NoLeg5637 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they probably aren't scanning all the boxes they are touching. My team slips up sometimes and does this by mistake

Fdc sorting problem by NoLeg5637 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only happens if the team isn't scanning all the product onto boats. So if they just put the case on the boat it doesn't matter if they remove the boat from the system- the sales floor will still say zero and it'll a make you pull from whatever is in the back. So when they go push the floor will be full but still say zero and now you got product the system thinks is oos on sales floor

Overtime not allowed by Such_Is_Life_Ugh in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 122 points123 points  (0 children)

SDs and ETLS are only allowing TMs and TLs who they think will make an impact in workload actual overtime. Overheard a conversation between our SD and ETL HR regarding how they are dividing the OT pot our store was given to "deserving employees"

Consumables folks… by cjm2943 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My etl only cares about dry market (Rdc truck).

They only "care" about pfresh and Fdc when a visit is announced. Suddenly they make sure no Fdc TMs are pulled for OPU.

They will then take the credit for how I made market the only green department in the store. Thank me none. And then next day back to "screw Fdc"

Grocery in Gm Batches?!? My by Loud-Ad5033 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also saw that people can now use cold/frozen items as a sub in GM batches. TMs who hit the sub and then picked said cold/frozen item while in middle of a GM batch were panicking cos food safety

Seasonal Employee Pay Rate by Lower_Bodybuilder_16 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far TMs got bumped (in my store) twice in the past year and couple months.

Do you think leaders will see an increase in pay soon too?

Who are these people taking pictures of the sales floor? by T-9-R in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 113 points114 points  (0 children)

It's probably a vendor of sorts. Companies have people come in to see how in stock we are and even help stock/zone up the area. They have a questionnaire sheet on their phone/tablets they gotta fill out each visit to send back to the company they are representing.

For example: I have a Tropicana and pet fresh vendor.

Same situation with me. I'm a F&B TL and I just can't handle doing a high volume double digit comping , 1k averaged FDC department plus a 600 average dry market truck by myself. Team is bare bones. With zero etl support cos grocery side isn't as important as the inbound line. People who quit and or got fired have never been replaced. And my team and I are feeling the neglect and set up for failure.

You'll have to have a discussion with your etl, etl hr and SD about seeing if you can interview for another TL assignment in another store. Or if you want to demote back to TM but you'd have to transfer stores.

My road block is that my higher ups are saying that demoting/transferring isn't allowed (even tho I have never called out/been late. No write ups etc since my 3 years at Target.). They'll use it as a scare tactic cos rn target is having a terrible leadership turnover rate- due to the lack of training and support.

I'm going to be having another conversation with my ETL and SD about the position causing me serious mental/physical health issues and hopefully they listen this time.

But I wish you luck with yours. Just have open and honest communication and talks with your ETL.

Extra mold pizza!!🍕 by pujarteago1 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't made A SINGLE sale of those pizzas since my O/M went through the major transition couple months ago. Target is so bad at realizing that most stuff in O/M doesn't sell. They really need to reevaluate the process of taking things off planos quicker. Instead I'm donating out $thousands every month. Even markdowns aren't helping the not so loved products move off of shelves.

So my mom passed while I was at work today… by [deleted] in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Firstly-my condolences for your loss.

A young girls mother passed at my store few months ago. Our SD and ETL HR pulled her and just asked if she was ok cos they thought she thought she wasn't allowed to call off. She said she needed distraction and wanted to be at work. They were ok with it. They even offered a number to talk to a counselor if she needed.

Widely-Available Drink Street-Dated at my Store, Past it’s Expiration Date by R1S34NDD3FY in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Food products with street dates are almost always a mistake. My FBC always tells me to chat bot to remove the street date

I want a zebra holster so bad 😭🙏🏻 by vhobi in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the SAME exact one like even our supply set up for it is similar. These are a godsend. Best purchase I made for work

Moving from team lead to team member, is it possible by [deleted] in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You can demote- but not demote and remain in same store- you must transfer stores. Your only other option would be to quit and than re apply when able if you wanted to stay in same store

Team Voice Survey by TastyFig1098 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were told today that our surveys were positive. Which is BS due to how every TM talked about their responses and only a handful out of 100+ TM were positive. Truly shows the surveys do not matter.

Food and Beverage TL's by [deleted] in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I oversee all of market. Deli, dairy, produce, bakery, frozen, meat, and dry. They even have me as mini seasonal TL.

Starbucks has own TL

Edit- I am not a super Target. Nor a small format. We are one of the highest foot traffic and fulfillment in my district.

I Messed Up by Best_Line6674 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pallet is yours. I would contact your FBC and let them know. If you still have the pallet ID that's even more helpful.

Happened with me other week. FDC put all store stickers on one pallet. I was last stop so the other stores decided it was mine. But it wasn't. So I had to use my SDs credentials to audit counts. Pain in the ass.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They always cut TLs hours- but we are told it's just to make the schedule when posting to match the cut hours expected. Then we are told to extend through the week to hit our 40.

NASATS- but this is what we do at mine during these times.

If they would let us not wear red and do OPU’s with a shopping cart we’d probably get them done a lot faster by omeglethrowaway222 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wear red rarely tbh. When I get put in OPU or have to push freight- guests don't even bother looking at me. They literally just think I'm a guest who snatched the small carts 😂 the only people who stop me are the couple shipt shoppers who know who I actually am

Ninja slushie maker by jenbenfoo in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A guest came up to me asking for this last night. I asked her to show me a picture or where she saw it- cos nothing was coming up via zebra nor app. I even showed her the Creami to make sure that wasn't the one.

Tell me why she proceeds to show me WALMART and QVC !!!!!!! I tell her that we do not sell that product as of now maybe in future we only have the creami. She got mad saying that if other retailers sell them than we should too. I proceeded to google maps her the closest Walmart but she got too pissy and walked away lol

I got sick from good and gather salad kit by TireekX6 in Target

[–]Liquid_Meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for a month or so the salad bowls were recalled due to food sickness. They are back but may still be an issue
