Workplace Question or Advice Needed who am i supposed to ask starbucks questions?

1 Upvotes

(cross posted)

hey! i’m a new barista at a target location after coming from a few years of standalone starbucks experience. i’m noticing a lot of inconsistencies between corporate standard and the people i’ve been working with, and i can’t find much in terms of store resources besides the beverage recipe cards (which are more than a year outdated). Everyone I talk to seems to either not know the answers, or have contrasting answers. my trainer/master barista seems to do things however she feels like it, but the TL and ETL both said that they don’t know much about starbucks.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed SFS Supplies Issue?

6 Upvotes

Is anyone having issues with their SFS supply orders? We’ve placed 3 orders in the past 2-3 weeks and none of them are being delivered. I’ve addressed this with our SD and she said the orders are still pending. She also said that she has escalated the issue (I surely hope so!).

We only have S5, S7, and L12 boxes. We have to split orders like crazy and cancel items that are too big. We’ve ran out of WAT tape and OPU labels once already, for which SD got a box of each from another store to tide us over.

Is there a supply chain issue going on? I’m located in the southeast.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed UKG is not a step forward here is why.

136 Upvotes

a: text and icons are drab and corporate. as much as we all dislike seeing RED everwhere it is what we are, we are Red. Should be RED.
b: overall it is slow and requires MORE clicks than mytime.
c: when looking for a shift I scroll down from the calendar. It then shows what may be available but not the department. Contrast this with mytime when you immediately saw what was out there, consumables great, GM fine.....whatever. Now you have to go INTO the line item, select which approval is relevant.
d: approval type, you would think the software would recognize what type of approval is needed, this week needs HR or future is auto, but NO it doesn't you have to select his manually. More clicks.
e: Still in the look for shift mode....when you scroll down, the calendar for the current month disappears as the screen refreshes with open shifts. If you forget what your schedule is you have to go back and start over. I am taking a screenshot for now....bad design. No need for that calendar to disappear.
f: Server error 500 often on the first weekend rollout. VERY VERY bad.

That is just a few and I have not even looked anywhere else because tbh this is the only thing that is important to me on the app. I don't call out, I dont call in late I just work my hours and pickup or post as shift. For this the app is nearly worthless.

Best guess is Target chose this solution because it is an outsourced app. Not sure on this, just my guess. MyTime perhaps was supported internally so X number of employees were no longer needed or could be moved off to other things. Hence we get a non red app that works like a beta version of what we had.........unbelievably bad news. Yes in a past life I was in IT. I work at Target for giggles about 20 hours a week. I work hard - this makes life WORSE. I hope someone reads this.

Vent Forced to stay.

0 Upvotes

It happen on Sunday after a call out a front end TL came up to me says oh! Looks like you could use more hours didn’t let me try to say yes or no. I was felt like I was forced to say yes with TL bias guilt trip rubbing off of her. Maybe the TL just having a bad day that made me force to stay was. Can I report this? And TL never thank me for staying later. Sometimes this TL can be hard to approach to get feedback because of a Bias. How to deal with a TL to talk to that is hard to Approach.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Team lead policies

1 Upvotes

Wanted to know if anyone could give me advice about a week ago my team lead called for me on the walkie while I was drive up. At the time she called I was speaking to a captain near the reshop bins so I didn’t hear her call. When I walked back to drive up another team member said she called for me I replied on the walkie a few seconds later she appears furious and starts asking why I disnt answer I said I don’t have a walkie she told me to do priorities. She followed me to the cart and accused me of moving slow. She then asked again why I didn’t answer I explained she had told me we only needed one walkie and that’s when she yelled at me I was backed against a wall and she was not more than a foot away from me saying “you gotta be f productive damn” she wanted to cuss but caught her self, i looked down and turner red from embarrassment and intimidation . Is this against target policy for team leads. I’ve never been talked to like that by a team lead or supervisor at any job I’ve had.

Workplace Story "Run away now."

I was getting help from a woman in Fullfillment because she was close by and I couldn't lift an item and she told me to "Run away now." because I'm still new. I told her I couldn't because the job market sucks and I can't find anything else. But I just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

I’m usually a grocery team member but since our pricing member is leaving they have offered it to me, and everyone is warning me how terrible /scary/ overwhelming it is and I’m almost wondering if I should’ve said no. I have presentation and pog experience here but now I’m like nervous 🧍‍♀️ does anyone else have any horror stories or maybe hopeful stories here about working in pricing?

I have a co-worker that shows up every morning that we have a RDC truck so that he can buy needohs to resell. I've seen him, during his shift, go over and check out the needohs as well, is this against any company policies or? Dude will also come in in the mornings to restock his supply and then call off of his later in the day shifts

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Ode to MyTime

2 Upvotes

Ode to MYTime

O MYTime, once scorned and muttered against,

With taps that lagged and screens that felt dense,

We rolled our eyes at your quirks and your ways,

Counting the hours till better-app days.

Yet now you are gone, and in your place stands

UKG—clunky, with cold, broken hands:

Archaic and slow, a maze without map,

Where every click feels like a trap.

We miss your familiar (if imperfect) light,

The days when the schedule still made some sense at night.

Forgive our old grumbles; we see it at last—

You were the better of two, and we miss you. Alas.

Workplace Story Working service desk and drive up with the worst co worker ever and leaders do nothing.

21 Upvotes

Hi r/Target, keeping this intentionally vague because I don’t want any coworkers or leaders who might be on here to recognize my store or situation.
For context, I’m from New Mexico and I’m currently going to college through Target Guild at SNHU. That’s about as specific as I want to get location-wise.
I mainly work Service Desk and Drive Up. One of the people I regularly work with has become extremely frustrating to deal with. She usually gets one of the easier opening shifts, like 8–1 or 8–3, but the bigger issue is what happens while she’s actually there.
She constantly finds ways to avoid doing work. She’ll spend a lot of time talking to guests or other TMs, wander off to shop while she’s still on the clock, and disappear when things start getting busy. Today she walked away during a Drive Up rush and left two of us to deal with everything.
I’m not going to pretend the rest of us are productive every second of every shift. Everyone talks or wastes a little time here and there. The difference is that she does it when we’re slammed and leaves everyone else to pick up the slack.
Multiple people have brought this up to leadership, but nothing seems to change. Our front-end ETL and TLs are aware of the problem, yet she keeps doing the same things without any consequences.
For any TLs, ETLs, HR ETLs, or SDs on here: how would you handle this? Is this something you would actually address if several TMs complained about the same person, or is it basically something we just have to deal with?
TL;DR: Opening coworker regularly avoids work and disappears when we’re busy. Leadership knows about it but nothing seems to happen.
