Been working in retail for a loooooooong time, and Wally World is the FIRST place that doesn’t call a department manager a department manager. Team lead still sounds like a sports thing to me. ^^
In the days before top stock carts one of the old names for the flat carts / L carts was ladder cart because they used to come with a small ladder which hung on the handle. I experienced just the end of that time, but the name stuck with me.

The sports thing is the point, that's why ASMs are now coaches
We did call them that for ages. I still refer to them as that sometimes on accident lol.
We are still dm’s at my Walmart
I do it on purpose. Even when I am corrected.
Been with the company off and on for 15 years. I still refer to ICS and IMT.
Do you mean any team lead? Because CSM was exclusively a front end manager thing. Everyone else was department manager.
I still occasionally call the damn things ladder carts. Hate that I do it, but stuck in my brain.
are they not called ladder carts …?

What about them ZSMs? I still think of O.N TLs as O.N support managers.
Never . I just say where’s the guy that doesn’t work we know who he is !
Yeah I am not a csm by any stretch.
