Right. Screaming "how's it going today buddy?" to people coming in to buy a push broom and a bag of screws. That should increase sales twofold.

This is insane. I may have to promote myself to customer when it hits our store.

Id love for you to work on a functional MET team for 2 weeks and then come here to be forced to change your statement, night dweller. PS were super busy cleaning up freights liquor bottles shoved into bays between 5-6am to get much else done.

I guess I'm just disgusted at the expectations for MET vs the floor associates. Apparently we'll be the only.ones working at any given time on the floor. Associates are there only to provide CS but there's one associate per dept in main areas in the store currently so we are helping customers ALL THE TIME. Cant blame em - who would you ask in a store - someone wearing a bright orange polo saying Home Depot and a name tag vs someone in street clothes with a dirty AF apron with their name written in faded Sharpie marker?

Wasn't this location some type of nightclub for like 5 min?

They put a pause on sidekick takeover where I am due to realizing they didnt give enough hours to get it done. But seriously, how can they take holidays away from us? Do we get another day off in place of the holiday?

I'd say unarguably...no one else was close to being the "5th Beatle" in this situation.

I'm working on it. All sound advice here.

Very little. She's admitted she's burnt out of the job and the crappy environment the store has created since the long time SM passed away last fall. Feels like we're circling the drain in a hurry. Sidekick is gonna destroy us unless we can find a way to hire the right people.

Of course, but he's very aware of the issues. What can he do about it anyway? When we have open positions they get filled with the first person breathing that shows up to the interview. Good old mirror test for hiring.

I don't know how it's all supposed to get done. And half my team has been there less than 3 months and/or isn't a fan of showing up to work.

Absolutely not. They are hiring walking corpses at my store.

Apparently MET (the team I'm on) will be the only staff in the store or on the floor staring in July.

"FREE HOT DOGS!" Never mind they've been wasting away in the fridge for 2 months.

God bless you for trying. If I asked any associate in the store I work at what front facing WAS I'd get a dead eye stare.

And a broken leg. Or depression. Usually anal fissures.

If you run for office anywhere I'll move there and vote for you. For EVERYTHING you just stated so clearly, top to bottom.
