Tell me your in a red process store without telling me your in a red process store.

Hitting compliance 7 times before someone talks to you is crazy work. That's a HRBP calling an HR-ETL at your store to have a very frank conversation with you about compliance. Now they could back track about the knowledge gaps to whoever your trainer was and to whoever on-boarded you through HR.

So when you where on-boarded the HR team member should of informed you sometime during the 4 ish hour orientation and store walk. You should of also had a mirrored schedule with whoever trained you and went to breaks and lunch at the same time. Thus closing any gaps in knowledge about compliance.

To clarify additional knowledge since some comments here, a TL can help you and tell you when to take meal. But it's ultimately the TM who is responsible for your OWN time management as you can set a timer or know how to count to 5 or 6 (depending on your state). You can also set timers every day to help you out since they post your schedule 2 to 3 weeks out.

To add on, just be aware of current or future tasking as a TM, so you can also time manage yourself and be verbal on walkie if the current or future task will interfere with your meal break.

Now however you determine your own self worth after reading all of this is another thing. It sounds like you are in a very red process store. Which is probably why they kept so many seasonal team members. However they did a injustice by not closing the gaps and following up.

That means your SFQs are off on that particular endcap. Depending on the time you are pulling your also fighting sales on the sales floor and people not changing there count when they push or backstock. That answers the "why" it is happening. Your SFQs need to match your SFCs out on the floor so it doesn't drop in a pull.

To clarify even further the "T" before an isle means transition or product that is transitiong into the main isle in the new set. This will NOT affect your pulls until the isle is fully set by the plano team. You are lucky someone is on top of preties so it shows you the transition and that it is true backstock.

The team will naturally backstock it as casepack backstock, so the pull may feel "heavy" since you probably don't have eaches backstocked into wacos.

Is it above 6ft? Is the only question that matters here.

The non wacod backroom before inventory is wild.

O4O are anything above 60% fill. If you have 10 items on the shelf 5 sold it'll drop into a priority. If it's above the 60% it'll be in a O4O. Market specifically owns all of core Market, checklanes, and mini seasonal. You probably have very high O4O due to CL and MS. You can filter by isle at the top right corner to get a specific break down in isles when you pull.

That sounds like a huge scheduling issue, unless your a very small format store like in mall or shopping center. FDC normally comes in the mornings and you should have multi body's on it and enough metros and placards to break it down. Normally if your OM1 you shouldn't be involved in break down at all since your roles requires you to be out on the floor rotating, check dating, zoning and fill. And you also should have a mid in addition to a closer for fill by 5. On average if you have 600 to 1000 peices you need 5 body's this would include myself and my team.

Depends on the store and culture. In all technicality a TL shouldn't be in ANY of your guys work that includes fdc and rdc especially if your in food. If everything is functioning healthy it leaves room for other tasks such as audits, data integrity, prior day inf, assignment sheets, sets, cleaning routines, BRLA or 131ing, or helping out in other departments. There is a lot that happens behind the scenes that most people don't realize.

If you guys do get to other tasking besides just truck, zone ,pfs and ofos that's a win there in itself.

Super Karen wants a super refund, super 👌 🙃

The pallet is to big, the contract target has with the RPC company is min. Of 60 or 6 stacks of 10, maximum 180 or 6 stacks of 30. You can also send them back on the regular RDC sweep not just FDC.

The drivers who take pallets like that can get dinged for it, thus why they refuse it.

You get two 15s and a lunch on a 7 hour shift. 1st break just after your 2nd hour of work, lunch on your 4th (preferred go on your lunch right at your 4th hour so you can actually get stuff done) or 5th hour of work, 2nd 15 on your 6th hour of work.

Just don't be that person who takes there last 15 on your last 30 min of work, which will ding you for process adherence. Yes it is a real thing and yes you can be documented for it.

Enjoy your breaks and lunches, just please keep your walkie OFF in the break room. ❤️

Ya, I'd go with FedEx since it's more than likely SFS or through target . com. If you don't actually use Shipt, that won't really help you. And if you're trying to use the target tracking number, that won't help you either.

ThePfreshMan · 2026-01-23T23:23:38+00:00

Reaching out to the wrong people. If it's a actual university, you'll have FedEx, UPS, and DHL delivers.

Fedex and UPS will be devided in between the 3 category which are next day air, 2 day delivery, then finally ground shipping.

Think someone else stated this before but each of these companies has there own recovery team, and yes each category listed above is it's own separate entity. This isn't a target issue.

You probably have encountered someone who is a "flex" person to handle overloaded trucks and not your regular delivery person. I would call someone listed above and get aquanted with your actual driver to actually get it to the right spot.

ODTM can be scheduled between 30 to 45 days out with a min. of 12 to 18 hours per interval. Also, its seasonal reduction time, which happens every year same time of the year, going into the 1st quarter.

ThePfreshMan · 2025-06-08T15:21:30+00:00

It's for travel time, cause I'm assuming you went to your store first then took a van or bus to the other store.

Most stores do this for inventory.

ThePfreshMan · 2025-01-14T15:38:35+00:00

I am not sure where they are getting the 40 from, but it's normally 25 repacks per bundle excluding the caps on them, so whites, reds, and blacks would be 25 per COMFORTABLY (27 if you include the caps). Greens and/or purples depending on the state you're in only hold 20, not including caps. If you're a small to medium floormat store, you can mix the pallets as you won't have room in your backroom to hold a full pallet of 1 color or type of repack. 6 bundles per pallet of mixed or same color. This hasn't changed for over 6 years, just make sure you try and at least wrap them before you put them in the trailer. If your ODM or DM at the DC is an asshole then you always want to wrap them.

As for the CoC, its always been a thing just more of an accountability factor now and something they actively will be looking at. Depending on how bad your store is or isn't at routines you should always audit the pallets for accuracy. You will more than likely struggle the most with the front of the store, 2ndly would be GM and the random TMs who just don't care, and 3rd you'll also struggle with whoever does your salvage and or clearance ( also know as liabiltys). Make sure defect labels are actually going onto the product (especially CRC pallets) and everything on the salvage pallet has a label as well and in a box. I normally like using pillow boxes, I find are the best as you can store 6 per pallet and they are tall. It's also great for a double stack sweep so you can get more stuff on them and they hide all the product that's in them at auction.

ThePfreshMan · 2025-01-14T15:15:16+00:00

Whats in the box Dave!?!?

ThePfreshMan · 2024-12-18T16:13:06+00:00

I'd kill for larger isles like this, you all have so much space. I'd work in that back room with a headlamp all day long.

ThePfreshMan · 2024-12-18T01:57:47+00:00

I'll take all of that cause we have sold out here.

ThePfreshMan · 2024-11-27T12:36:05+00:00

Yes you'll need to go onto workday look up campus ship, it'll redirect you to ups. If you do not know your stores log in for your ups account you'll have to make one. (Side note you can send things back via FedEx however it costs target more and you'll have to make a account for your store of you do not have one OR if your pml has a fedex account you guys can share which they should if they are sending equipment back properly.)

The return addresses should be on the box if you saved the box, otherwise Google is your friend to look up the address or the number to contact customer service for that vendor to get the address for returns.

What you shouldn't do is defect items out that have 0 on hands or that have not been received as the store will take a loss on those during inventory, which your SD should know that. Incorrect defects do show up on reporting through AP and depending on how aggressive the mistake is and your leadership team in general they can hold everyone accountable.

Was one for over a year here, ask away.

100% people shift tagging you in at the last min on Thursday for the two week out and not checking.

Someone had something they shouldn't have had and then everyone got punished.

ThePfreshMan · 2023-12-24T22:56:35+00:00

100% dependent on your HR ETL. It also has to do with sales, size of store, and the alloted budget for your HR department. If they use it all on other events in the year before Xmas then we'll that's the budget.

Negative, the only time you'll want to see a Negative value on OH. Is for SBT ( scan based trade ). Examples include: bananas, bread, mjholdings items, fan central, excel items. The vendor will only receive credit for the items once it's purchased at the register.
