    Archived Target pulling out of Canada

    Wow wow wow. Just heard about this when checking trending topics on Facebook. I have to say I'm a bit surprised, they seemed so confident in Target Canada. Although it was clearly a money pit because they couldn't bear to make changes to make it work properly.

    Archived Latest rumor at my store

    Thank goodness Trader Joe's is closed on Thanksgiving. So so so so happy. Good luck to all of you. I will be enjoying time with family & doing my shopping online in my pajamas cause that's how I roll.

    Archived game preorders

    I just had this happen. I went to the store I had reserved Shadows of Mordor at and they were out. Hadn't set any aside. Yes I was 6 days late picking it up but I hadn't paid attention to see the release date had changed. Ended up having to go to another Target to get it.

    Archived Target liquor store

    Oh PA...how I despise the liquor laws here. Even more so now that I work at Trader Joe's. So many out of state people come in all confused and ask where we are hiding the wine. My first reaction is to then say "Oh you must not be from around here. Welcome to the wonderful state of PA. If you are...

    Archived Anyone else do close-open shifts?

    When I was with spot I had at least one or two of these every week, and I always had to be in at 6 for PA duties. I'll never forget, after I put in my 2 weeks, my CTL was complaining about closing Saturday and having to be back at 6 Sunday for adset. I looked right at him and said "I don't want...

    Archived "The Struggle"

    I have internet because I do graduate work entirely online. Not entirely practical for me to find somewhere with wi-fi when I want to work on stuff at 11 pm. A year and a half ago I had to make a decision to get a new car. My old one was going to cost more than it was worth to fix. I was able to...

    Archived Management Revolving Door

    I was at Target for a year, just about the first year the store was open (I started a month after opening). Within the first year the store lost: 1 TL SL 1 TL HL 1TL Food Ave(fired) 1 TL Starbucks 1 ETL GE (fired) 1 STL Technically the ETL HR is different, but that's because the old one got...

    Archived Has Target changed you? If so, how?

    Target drained the hell out of me. I've battled depression and anxiety for years but never really did anything about it. Until I worked at Target and every symptom became amplified and I would have to hide in a cooler to keep from having a full blown anxiety attack. I went to a therapist and...

    Archived Walmart Employees Sound Off About Having to Buy Their Own Work Clothes

    Very few places provide uniforms. Many times if the company requires the shirt have their logo on it, they'll provide it, at least in my experience. I had I think 2 polo's back when I worked at Arby's (neither of which fit me right cause I was a tiny 16 yr old girl). From there on it was this...

    Archived Black Friday 2014

    This!!! Holy crap. I despise crowds and crowded situations. Online shopping for deals is the best thing ever cause I can do it from my couch with my dogs. It's usually how my husband and I end up finding Christmas gifts for each other.

    Good lord. That is horrendous.

    Archived Things I am thankful we do not carry... and things I wish we did..

    This. I work in PA. When I worked at Target and even more now that I work at Trader Joe's, out of towners come up to me incredibly puzzled and ask where the alcohol is. I politely welcome them to PA where our liquor laws are from prohibition and direct them to the nearest state store and beer...

    Archived Pilots

    The store I was at has some in-ear ones, most people just claim them for themselves, thus eliminating the sharing. However that means there aren't enough to go around. Plus they are rather uncomfortable and you have the wire getting in the way and if someone really loud starts talking, you...

    Archived Drinks on the Floor?

    We weren't allowed to have drinks on us when I was at Target. At Trader Joe's, they don't overly care if we have water or coffee with us, so long as it is out of sight and we aren't guzzling our beverage in front of customers. It's nice to get a quick drink during small breaks when you know you...

    Archived Pilots

    Honestly, even though sometimes the music at Trader Joe's is odd, I do enjoy actually having music. True, the managers can change stations and mix it up a bit but still. Music>silence. And I can't tell you how many people have asked me recently why Target doesn't have music & how much they don't...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    Hahahahaha that's funny. They always were just like they this price changed. Have fun. And then moved on to the next task.

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    @Owl Pulls should always be priority, no matter what anyone says. You can't sell product that's not on the floor. Yes one time I got an earful about changing out one of the bunkers. I was taking too long (it was a truck morning for goodness sake) and I was working on unloading the truck and...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    There were a few times when I had to do salesplanners when I came in to close. It freaking sucked. I know right before I left, they started having plano do ALL salesplanners. Of course this really just meant scheduling a PA in presentation one day and telling them to all of them by themselves in...

    Archived QMOS vs Defect out

    We were allowed to have our bin on the floor after the store opened. In fact we were taught to do so. Just no garbage cans. I admit once zoning became a mandatory you better do this or you're dead thing, I used a 3 tier when zoning through yogurt, cheese, juice & lunchmeat, but only cause it was...
