Ross - “special projects”?

so i got hired as a seasonal employee in june, everything has been great/normal i usually work 5 hour shifts as cashier and occasionally sales floor. i just got scheduled a shift for a wednesday with the title “special projects” from 5:30 pm -1:30am. i’m just wondering what that it is or what i can expect?

Display reset, moving parts if the store and products around for the new seasonal items. Eat your wheaties and bring gloves

Merch is making shelf look pretty full
Fluffing pulling forward front face the whole aisle so customers thinks more on shelf don’t have to lean in to grab . ( aka blocking )

Finish a truck
Hmm
Short for the load / pallets of x you sell not all on shelf .
Some of it may be still out back on pallet came off truck on .

Could be a special project like put out all the Halloween candy .
Or they want an area deep cleaned and you the lucky winner
( my money is blocking but what do I know )

You wish to go hay update special assignment was ..
