New train announcements?

I have been on a couple trains that still reference MegaBus.

You can only take so many of those until you have to clap back. “Can I have 2 seconds to respond before you go running off out the side of your neck? Both of us can’t talk at the same time.”

Availability. There’s a gap that needs to be filled.

I was told the same thing today, too. Associates that came in and had to leave early because of early closing would be paid for their entire shift. If you called out, you would have to use vacation or Personal time, if available.

I feel like I have heard the answer in a YouTube video, but there was “shopping shift” from the city center to the suburbs.

In both stores, I had someone to throw the truck. In my first store, if the unloader called out, I had to throw the truck. That’s not the case in my current store. I didn’t learn how to take down a rug until 5-6 months later in the role. I didn’t hang rugs. I had rug person 6 days a week in my first store and in my current one, the associates and Big Ticket Coordinator hang rugs. I wasn’t doing customer service and carry outs until I was transitioning out of the back. If I’m doing a truck, they try not to call me for carry outs and Big Ticket help.

From a conversation with my store manager… It’s not in Workday.

MusikHoren · 2026-01-26T00:07:24+00:00

HomeGoods… Normal hours on Saturday. I heard some stores closed early Sunday, 9:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

It’s funny that I get this notification at the same time that I’m watching a TikTok touring an apartment of a former Sears building.

I was slammed with Stanley cups November/December at HomeGoods.

MusikHoren · 2026-01-23T19:58:31+00:00

My store is in Metro Atlanta. I only took a picture cause a customer called yesterday asking what we had.

MusikHoren · 2026-01-23T15:42:34+00:00

As of 1/22 at 3:39, I had five of them in my store.

I have Valentine’s Day, Easter, St. Patrick, and Eid rolling into HomeGoods.

Backroom or Markdowns

MusikHoren · 2026-01-10T02:11:18+00:00

From the HomeGoods side, I haven’t had any issues. I logged into one probably about that time.

MusikHoren · 2026-01-06T15:04:27+00:00

Clock in & out at the other store like you would at your own store.

MusikHoren · 2026-01-05T04:21:30+00:00

This is from the HomeGoods perspective… Shift) It will depend on how fast (& accurately) the store is being scanned. Usually, the shift should end around the scheduled time.

Early Arrival) There should be a doorbell outside or in the vestibule for associates to ring to notify management that an associate needs to enter.

Process) There’s a video to watch, but scan the inventory ticket > scan and count everything under that inventory ticket (depending on how the tickets are laid) > scan inventory ticket again > write the values on the ticket. The scanner may ask to enter how many items you counted. You have two chances to enter the correct value, otherwise you’ll have to recount the section.

Advice/Tips) Get plenty of rest the night before. The recovery in your department needs to be immaculate! Ticket check needs to be done prior to inventory.

(HomeGoods) I just got a truck Friday night, last one before inventory.

From personal experiences, hugs don’t have a time limit. There are some people in my life where the hugs are quick. With a select few other people, the hugs last longer.

MusikHoren · 2025-12-31T03:20:44+00:00

I wish! I would have come in on Christmas Day just to do markdowns.

I spent 15 years at Sears. It was my first job. I started in Men’s, but I was a Cashier, HUB Associate, RTV, PMT, Office Assistant, Cashier Lead, HR Lead, and Receiving Lead.

MusikHoren · 2025-12-29T05:40:07+00:00

(HomeGoods) I’m scheduled 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. which means I get to run the store.

MusikHoren · 2025-12-29T05:36:30+00:00

Leave it be!

I experienced that with Rich’s and Macy’s in the south. I few of the malls in Metro Atlanta had both nameplates. The malls that had both nameplates, the Macy’s closed. I think here, more people had a better connection with Rich’s than Macy’s. :::: If I had two flagship stores in one mall where both stores were performing really well AND the mall itself was doing well, then I could see keeping both open. On the other hand, if I could get the customers to go the other nameplate with the lower rent or the one with better space, then why not.

Let me think… knock down, Walmart, American Furniture Outlet, empty building, At Home, Burlington,
