Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES California Wage and Hour Matters We currently are defending several wage and hour matters in California. The cases were brought by various current and/or former California associates alleging various violations of California wage and hour laws. During the first quarter of 2019, upon consideration of these matters, including outcomes of cases against other retailers, we determined a loss from these matters was probable and we increased our accrual for litigation by recording a $7.3 million charge as our best estimate for these matters in aggregate. During the third quarter of 2020, we reached settlement agreements in our two largest wage and hour class action matters in California and the settlements were preliminarily approved by the court. The settlements were consistent with the previously accrued loss contingencies for these matters. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations levied in the remaining lawsuits. Other Matters We are involved in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that each such action and claim will be resolved without a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. However, litigation involves an element of uncertainty. Future developments could cause these actions or claims to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
