Food Week 1

Well I knew I was back at 1784 when a few hours into my shift last Monday I was called to sit in the AP office until the police arrived to pick up a woman who was apprehended. It's good to be back at a busy store and I'm enjoying spending time with all the team members there again. They are all so welcoming and fun.
Sitting in on an apprehension was interesting to say the least. I worked on my online food training while our TPS and officer filled out all the paperwork and took photos and everything to prepare to call the police. It was actually pretty fun to see how everything works back there and so interesting to hear this woman try to get out of being arrested. With multiple IDs in her purse and a prior arrest for shoplifting there as no way she was getting out of it. So, it was a good start to my return to 1784.
Food training is going well, so many things things to learn in the next two weeks. I'm hoping I have a good team leader who orders at my store because I have a feeling I won't be very good at it.

I like Food

I mean, who doesn't like food right?

Anyway, what does food have to do with anything you might ask? I'll give you a hint, it has to do with my new position with Target!

Monday afternoon I had a visit from my DTL (district team leader) in which I found out I am getting a new ETL position and a new store assignment! So because of STL interview results and people moving around an ETL-Food position at Hurst opened up. So I will be the new ETL-Food at that store! So starting next week I will go back to 1784 and train for 3 weeks with Kristen to learn all about food. I like eating food, so I feel like this will be a good fit. Also, I enjoyed all the food stuff I did during my training for hardlines. After 3 weeks I'll go to Hurst which will be my new home store and I'll be in charge of the front half of the food area (bakery, deli, produce, meat, Starbucks).
Another good thing about this move is that two of my training buddies from 1784 are already at Hurst! Thomas (ETL-HL) and Damon (ETL-AP) just started at that store and we are all excited to be reunited.
So, lots of exciting changes in the next few weeks. I'm kind of sad to be leaving because I was just feeling settled at 255 but I'm excited to learn new things and be back in a Super Target (I like the busy atmosphere!). For now, I'm going to enjoy my last few days at 255 and my weekend off in Austin and I'll update next week on how things are going.
