It's dumb on both fronts. Grocery TMs don't have the time to play general practitioner with customers and whole body TMs will need a bottle a day of stress relief from having to work more than one cart a shift.

1ozj, the grocery team couldn't care less about answering questions about cleansing kits and flax oil. This is another baseless decision from global to somehow try and slim down management at the store level. We'll spend as much money as we did pushing coffee onto grocery, and then realize what a wretched plan it turned out to be. I'm convinced global is trying to spend as much money on bad decisions as they can, but I still can't figure out why they're doing this and how they're all still employed.
This Grobo team is a terrible idea. I can't see how any of the grocery people are going to be trained to handle the kinds of questions that whole body is asked constantly. Whole body sales are really going to plummet if this team-combining becomes the norm.
This was planned a long time ago. From the info I have, all stores with sales of a million or less will go with combined teams. A few very small volume stores were pushed to do this right away on 9/28 (MSO, LEX), to be the test stores for this model.
Is this a new or old location? What are the weekly sales? Curious if all stores will take this model or others with greater sales will not.
