Right, so I drag my butt up from bed far too early this morning, take a quick shower, then hop in the car for another fun-filled day making the local people coffee. At least, that’s what I think. Instead, I arrive at work to find my register at Starbucks in an obvious state of distress. Apparently, the tech guy was out working on the thing last night until 12:30, and he was scheduled to come back “in the morning”. So after several calls to the Target Client Support Center, which in turn generated calls to the tech, his wife, and his boss, he shows up at 10:00.
Around that time, Sue (one of the managers here) got the bright idea of sending myself and Nathan down to T-0933 (the old Parker store, closed so a shiny new SuperTarget could open just down the street) and helping them prepare all their merchandise for transfer off the sales floor into various other stores across the country. So we went down and started boxing up a couple aisles bound for T-2023 (the Lonetree store, just down the street). When we were done with that, we started on a pallet bound for T-0064 (the Boulder store) which was actually packed yesterday, and done COMPLETELY wrong. Apparently they just couldn’t get through to the english-as-no-language people who were sent, and they packed it so it appeared to the system as only ONE carton when there was, in reality, 20. So the entire pallet had to be voided, and re-scanned. So we did that until lunch, after which we were summoned back to our store.
Quite annoying, really.
