To that one Team Member I - ARCHIVED

[redeye58]

I'll wear a name badge when they give me one that says "Eat hot death & DIE"
Fast, fun & friendly my a$$.....

Well, I am officially no longer a Target team member. Got termed because I apparently hit compliance too many times. Funny, when I never hit it a single time, unless my lovely boss decided she wanted to 'discuss' some things with me right before I was supposed to go on lunch, or made me wait for another team member to get back from their break...

Sorry to hear that man, there's nothing you can do to fight it?

Honestly, I don't even want to bother. The one boss who wasn't a micromanaging jerk left at the beginning of this summer, and things have been going downhill ever since, there's only one person left who was there when I started, and I'm pretty sure the only reason he hasn't been termed too is because one of the ETLs wants to do him. Anyway, I've got some money saved up until I can find another job, so I'll be okay.

Disclaimer: I'm not mad about the badge thing. I asked when I clocked in if I could use a random, but the woman in tsc said she only had ones that belonged to new TMs and that I couldn't have one. I just don't think not wearing one is a big deal.

At our store it depends who isn't wearing one and who sees you not wearing one.

The few times I've forgotten mine, only the GSTL has ever mentioned it. If a GSA is working they either don't notice or don't care. The ETL's either don't notice or don't care as well. The GSTL will grab some random nametag and have me wear it. He claims the new STL we have cares a lot about it. I don't think she does, she's never said a word to me about it when I've been talking to her without a nametag on while a GSA is there instead of the GSTL. Or at least if she does, she does so selectively, and only cares for people she thinks are at a high risk of generating guest complaints (ie. she might care more if someone who started working there a week ago wasn't wearing a badge since they'd be far more prone to make a mistake or fuck up in some manner that'd cause a guest to complain).

TTOM: I swear if you call out on me like you were joking I will get your phone number from another tm and cry at you. Our deal was you tell me beforehand. Joking doesn't count. >:-(

(kidding. Kind of)

@V 42 sorry to hear about you getting termed but I'm glad you don't need-need the job while you find a new one. Best of luck on your hunt!

ALRIGHTY with public schools starting tomorrow, today was a mess so I want to shout out the following.

To the following:

ETL-AP: Sending guests to the backroom with the cart attendant as an escort was not a good idea when we had no carts. Yeah the bathrooms flooded but we have rats. Don't bring them back there.

GSAs: For the last 45 minutes of my shift, thanks for speed weaving the lanes and sending guests to photo for me to ring. It probably stopped a riot.

Backroom team: Ya'll awesome and pretty funny. Didn't need to know where the rat traps were.

TLs: Thanks for not riding my ass all day.

 

[ClearanceMaster]

TTOTM

congratulations on your promotion. Im glad they let you have a change and to see you happier now. But dont let your attitude get you in trouble in this work center. Clearance is going to get heavily shopped so dont grumble and mumble about a guest standing 4feet from you.. at least wait until they are gone.. I completely agree with you but we cant let it be known to the guest.

 

[Jill of All Trades]

TTOTM at the store I shop at: Thanks for responding to the call button immediately and thanks for summoning the guy with the jewelry keys. Thanks to the guy with keys for being prompt. Since I had booze I needed to be checked out through a main line, but you opened one up just for me instead of making me wait in line. , even though you knew I was a TM from another store. You guys almost make me want to transfer since you're so close to my house, but I don't want my own store to be keeping an eye on how much I drink, so I think I'll stay put.

 

[PugMuffin]

To that one softlines team member who sprinted across the store to clear my playstation call button when I was helping a guest and the hardlines team members were no where to be found: that was cool. You are awesome. We need more team members like you.

Eh, as long as you aren't showing up drunk I doubt it matters if they see you buying lots of alcohol.

I don't even drink that much I'm just super paranoid about the "don't shit where you eat" rule.

You may use the restrooms at my store, they're clean

Belts, please. Or pants that work, I don't know. Getting real tired of all the asscrack I'm seeing at way too damn early in the morning.

What. Why would you let guests into the backroom. Why. I'm nowhere near being AP trained and I know that is a terrible idea. I'm not even backroom and the thought of outsiders back there is uncomfortable.

Aren't there insurance issues too?
I seem to remember the Logistics ETL saying something about that.
He might have been full of it but he wasn't the kind of ETL to make stuff up out of whole clothe so either he knew what he was talking about or someone had told him.
If nothing else, the BR is a dangerous place even if it's not busy.
I've seen people who have worked back there for years smack their heads or step wrong and twist their ankle.
Now granted they were working on the wave or stepping between pallets but it's just not a simple walk back.

There is no way I'd have a guest back there.

I thought flooded bathrooms was one of several incidents that could warrant closing a store temporarily.
That & no running water; items on the "Call Alert One" list.

Depends on what is flooding them! Clean water (a rare event, but it could happen) will not close the store. Depending on local laws, as long as a restroom is available to the team, the store can remain open. Sewage backups on the other hand, could cause some problems.

 

[tgtguy]

To all my fellow team members...who insist on spraying their bodies with perfume/ body spray....by the time clock..enough is enough. Its like walking into a could of funk...do that at home or outside.

Yeah it was dirty water

And could you keep that stuff to a minimum. I shouldn't be able to smell you before I see you. Besides some people do have allergies and respiratory issues.

This. Our locker area smells like a whore house when certain people work.

 

[SFTOnThree]

From the perfume / body spray .... or certain team members 2nd job?

There is one lady in our store who always sprays herself in some kind of fruity , coconut type stuff...so pretty much it smells like she had pina coladas and got bad gas from them..

It's the worst when the TM was just outside having a smoke on their break and uses spray. The spray is never enough to cover the smoke smell, and the mixture of the two smells is awful. I can handle one or the other, but not both at the same time.
