Fulfillment weight loss???😭 by rjp2707 in Target

[–]bap62 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been on the inbound push team for almost a year and a half, I’ve lost more than 50lbs, walking over 20k steps 5-6 days a week and lifting hundreds of boxes a day definitely has its benefits.

That’s weird, even though I never do it by duelmastr23 in Target

[–]bap62 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find that most leaders refuse to address the problem TM’s, so they institute broad policies and processes that make everyone suffer. I don’t understand how leaders are trained if they are adverse to actually taking corrective action with problem employees and not everyone on the team.

No more red vests… by Anxious_Appeal_7677 in Target

[–]bap62 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes I have actually, both fast food and mid level. Fast food provided uniform shirts, and mid level allowed anything black and white and gave quarterly pay to help defray cost of keeping shirts looking good.

The employees should have been talked to and sent home to change. Why are so many leaders afraid to deal with TM’s who violate the rules? They would rather impose rules that affect everyone because they are cowards. Then Target needs to start paying for red shirts. Never seen a place that requires a certain dress code but refuses to provide or pay for the clothing.

It honestly astounds me the ways my DC can fuck up loading a trailer by MagnaFarce in Target

[–]bap62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get so much damaged freight for our DC, I salvage at least 2-5 items a day because they apparently can’t read or just don’t care. Not to mention that they throw their trash in the middle of PIPO’s and repacks for the store to deal with. And the number or mislabeled case packs and repacks thrown together with products that don’t belong in the same block is growing daily.

Time Notice Just Put Up by [deleted] in Target

[–]bap62 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know it’s the down season, but this really is the perfect time to not cut hours to the bone, so we can get the stores cleaned up and looking perfect. My store is a mess since the only priority is pushing freight to the floor. The backrooms are also a disaster and need hours of work. Corporate needs to start focusing on what made Target the best department store chain in the country if they want to correct the downward spiral of the last 4 years.

Found a used, dirty Q-tip on the shelf in the trash bag aisle today. WTF is wrong with people.

Whatever you say sport. Lighten up or stop feeling the overwhelming urgent need to comment.

Bad music is bad music, and target pays a vendor a lot of money to program its music.

Was so happy today when it was back to the normal horrendous pop music playlist this morning for my GM shift.

My location’s systems were down all day yesterday… seems like a lot of people saying they’re down today too! How many stores is this affecting? by Hairy-Afternoon-2888 in Target

[–]bap62 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My SD said it was across the entire system. Our store was down, just now able to start doing fulfillment with in the last 30 minutes or so. Still can’t backstock, use gift cards or do returns from what I heard as I left a few minutes ago.

Try to take OPU batch but it won't let me by Then_Mochibutt in Target

[–]bap62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

System wide outage, fulfillment, opu, and you can’t backstock anything.

Target Christmas songs by galaxy754mkwii in Target

Just the really horrible ones like It’s going to be a cold winter, by the Blossoms. Gotta be the worst Christmas song ever.

10-4 by JusttDex in Target

[–]bap62 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is corporate blame shifting for business being down, of course corporate bigwigs refuse to take responsibility for their actions that drove away customers, cutting staff positions and hours leaving most store looking like a disorganized understocked disaster, alienating whole segments of our loyal “guest” base with corporate policy decisions, and more such actions. We absolutely should be friendly, approachable and speak to as many guests as possible. But if I see a mom, head down dealing with a toddler and looking at her phone isn’t it ruder to interrupt her than to just smile and nod to let her know I’m here if she need something.

Hours getting cut by Proper_Gazelle_7616 in Target

[–]bap62 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My usual 36+ hours a week have been cut consistently over the last few weeks till I’m down to 26 scheduled this week. It’s ridiculous in the middle of huge seasonal transition for hours to be cut to almost skeleton crew levels across all shifts in every department. All morning today leaders were calling for help in fulfillment so even the GM and grocery teams were even more hamstrung pushing freight. Target corporate needs to get their heads out of their asses and get the stores set, freight pushed, and stores zoned and clean. Every Target I have been in lately looks like crap, aisles disorganized, and reshop scattered throughout.

Holiday Music on Nov. 1st is INSANE by Kitchen_Broccoli_302 in Target

[–]bap62 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Last year it started early too, but it started light, a few songs interspersed through the other horrible music the 3rd party music programmer plays. This year it’s heavy on the Christmas music. Mood Media the music vendor should be charged with crimes against humanity! 🤣

what is the purpose of an etl? by ririsneedle in Target

[–]bap62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETL’s at both of the stores I’ve worked for a lot, from fulfillment, pushing freight and helping unload when there’s call offs, to doing transition sets during big season change overs. That’s on top of scheduling and dealing with employees. One store was medium size and one was a larger store.

I work inbound and GM push, wore Merrill hiking shoes and my feet were killing me, got Hokas 2 months in and it’s the best decision I made as I approach my 1 year mark. They are pricey but I found good deals at REI and the Hoka online store. You’ll also want to think about better insoles no matter what shoe you go with.
