    Archived What deals have you gotten at Target?

    I did really well with the C9 deal on Sunday as well. Got 3 pairs of sneakers and a workout tops, for about $45-$50 total.

    To the one guest prank calling the deli today asking for eggnog flavored bologna: you were somewhat funny, but really, don't you have something better to do on Christmas eve?

    Archived So How did Black Thurs. Go For You?

    Ours went well. Beat our sales goal by about $3,000, finishing with around $760K I think. No meal violations all day which was good. I worked 7:30 pm Thursday night-10:00 am Friday morning in Electronics. Crazy 'til about midnight/1 am, then slow during the night, before it was starting to pick...

    To that one guest

    To the guy in Food Ave today who stared right at the menu advertising tuscani pastas and proceeded to ask me if he could have one of our "toucan" pastas-you either need to get your eyes checked or learn to read. It was all I could do to not bust out laughing during the transaction.

    Archived Out of dates

    Your service desk team member will thank you if you monitor these consistently instead of finding a bunch all at once. One night I was closing guest service when our LOD noticed that a checklane had some of these that were expired. He proceeded to check all of our registers and brought them up...

    Archived beauty concierge program in chicago

    Sounds similar to our "Boots" representatives-dressed in all black, etc. I don't think our Boots rep is in store 40 hours though-more like 20-25. How many other stores have a Boots rep.?

    Archived Stepping down from GSA

    I made that move a few months ago and am much happier. I'm a college student and with my availability, I went a month straight where all I did was close as GSA. We're an 11:00 store, so this meant not getting home to almost midnight every night. I now work most shifts in Food Ave while helping...

    Archived Nearly taken out by a Scooter!

    I'll never forget the guest who I called up to guest service and asked "How can I help you sir?" He replies by informing that he would like to send anthrax and asbestos to our store. As I inquire why, he says it is because our electric carts never work. Looking back, I regret not calling AP to...

    I got up to 80 hours before my ETL-HR told me I needed to start using them.

    To that one guest

    I think my favorite famous guest that we have is "Hat Man." The first time I encountered him, he came up to guest services in an electric cart. He returned at least 20 hats of all varieties, baseball caps, berets, newsboy caps, etc. All had receipts from different stores and he claimed that he...

    Archived So, um. Re: Black Friday

    If you're there at opening you will just be ringing. As the chaos dies down, you might venture out from the boat a bit, but what I told guests when I was in electronics on Black Friday was that I could ring them up, open a case for them, and tell them what we were out of-anything more advanced...

    Archived Cross Trained Vs. Not Cross Trained

    I'm trained in cashier, guest service, photo, GSA, hardlines, softlines, operator, grocery, produce, and have gotten thrown into electronics occasionally during the holidays. I've just started training in Food Ave. I love working in a variety of work centers-more hours to get and keeps things...
