  • Same ol' place, different job

    I've been absent for a while, due to the fact I wasn't working, and didn't think I'd ever go back to retail. Ever. But after two failed attempts at taking my CNA skills test, and no Phlebotomy positions being offered to me, I've gone skulking back to my old store. The one that fired me in 2006

    Said store used to have a mascot that looked a lot like this: and is currently undergoing a company-wide remodel. For as much as I got a feeling of impending doom and gloom while being rushed through my interviews in a single day last week ("Aww, crap, they're really going to re-hire me!"), I'm thrilled to find that since I was hired on as a temp, for now, on setup/remodel/stock, that I am actually really happy compared to when I was a register slave. I wish I could have just switched to stock three years ago instead of leaving.

    Hopefully/not hopefully, I'll have tales from my remodel adventures. People don't like it very much when you pick up an entire department and move it to a completely different location in the store
    The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

    hm, you do look familiar.

    Yeah the remodels have been bugging me. It's not that they're remodeling it's that my local stores just had a remodel a couple of years ago. Can they make up their mind already!?

      From what I understand, they want to change the layout of the floor plan so that customers can walk in and pretty much see all the departments from the front doors. No more hunting around for sporting goods, etc. Asset protection is really pleased about the whole thing, so maybe they're hoping it's less friendly to thieves. The front end will be, anyways. They're ripping out the self-checkouts for good

        Yeah I noticed some locations do that, but others recently installed SCOs at the same time of their remodel. So I don't think the company is getting rid of them for good. Just certain stores.
