He once had a bomb threat at our store. The police were called and our store evacuated and the police were called. I think the caller wanted gift cards or at least the card numbers or the bomb would be activated. I kinda figured something was up and then really knew there was a problem after my...

Tell me what pud is. It has been over 5 years since I worked for Target.

At the ultra-low volume store, I used to work at we got trucks on T/T/S and then the STL worked to get it moved to M/W/F. He did, as we could not get people to work on the weekends. In the end, we either got trucks on T/T or M/W/F depending on the piece count of the truck.

Fair and rodeo week

Not OPU, but rather SFS. KY Jell and Hellman's Mayo. I guess Hellman's is not available west of the Rockies (only Best Foods). I am in the middle of the Rockies, so both are available here.

I was sent out of town with our ETL-HR to sit through a morning-long lecture on food safety and in the afternoon we were given a test. You were notified a few months if you passed or not. If so good, if not you were sent back to do it over at your store's expense.

A saw few times while still working for Spot.

Yep, even when I still worked for Spot I often shopped online after the Wednesday ad/Black Friday set, before the Grey Thursday madness, or before/after my Black Friday shift. I do a lot of shopping online but will go the store for those few instore only offers.

I am just happy once again that I don't have to deal the Black Friday Madness. While the last 4 or 5 days in the produce department at the grocery store that I work at has been murder I am much happier than at Target. For whatever reason, my boss has yet to schedule me for a Thanksgiving, so I...

Not C&S, but once we were called by another store in our district to tell us that we would not get a weekly load from the Iowa FDC. After taking the temp of their load they found it was way out of temp. Our load was next and I guess the driver just took both loads back to the FDC. I don't if we...

and I thought receiving at my grocery store looked bad.

At the store, I used to work at they had to pay you for a least 3 hours, regardless of whether worked that or not. I now work at a grocery store that is represented by a union and our collective bargaining agreement (contract) says 4 hours for most positions, except the courtesy clerks and they...

I as just a TL gave out a few CAs in my time at Target. Maybe things have changed. We just had to get the CA approved by HR before we could give it out.

At the store, I worked at you could just go up to guest services and ask to check out a set of keys.

It used to be back in the day that you had to have at least 8 hours between your shifts or they had to pay you overtime, but that has since changed. If it were me I would say no, as I need more sleep than that.
