New target opening (has anyone ever had to help open a new target)?

I just got hired for my very first job ever. I will be working soft lines when the store is up and running.

Right now we are helping set up the Target store. Today was my second day. Yesterday was hard but survivable, today, 8 hours on my feet moving and placing shelves, it was horrible.

I'm glad and excited to be working at Target, however, I'm not sure I can handle too many more days like today.

So my question is, anyone who has ever hellped to open a new Target store, about how many days does it usually take for the craziness of setting up the store to end and training for the main job to begin?

Also any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advanced :)

    I dont know how long it takes to set up a new target store, But I do know target softlines is a sucky job. People throw clothes on the floor right infront of your face, they leave carts with sticky foods and clothes mixed together, they tear up the shoe section. Then your Tl is on your back saying your zoning to slow, or you have too much carts of reshop. (You'll know what all that is once the store opens). But my advice to you is to get out of softlines as soon as possible and go to green world or blue world.
