I'd recommend contacting the Target Benefits Center at 800-828-5850. When you become eligible, they send you a benefits package that has a chart of the cost per pay period of all the different health plan options. I think PPO coverage for a family was somewhere in the neighborhood of $150-200...

The other day we got some product in that comes surrounded by fabulously gigantic sheets of bubble wrap. We brought a bunch of the bubble wrap with us to huddle and then spread it out on the floor for everyone to jump on. It was awesome.

That is definitely a pet peeve of mine when I'm on the registers. One good yank from a guest and that little tab at the top has been ripped off the whole stack of bags, and there's no way to get them to stay on the pegs after that. Our medium bags work fine as long as the guests leave them...

I haven't had any problems with the debit card, but the Target credit card was evil. I made a lot of big purchases in one month and ended up hitting my credit limit, so I paid the whole thing off through the REDcard website, and it took over two weeks AFTER the withdrawal had cleared my checking...

I saw one where the guest was complaining that checkout was TOO fast.

Really? Oh my God. :-O

Why can't the system just remember what signs have been printed, and then when we come in on Sunday somebody presses a button or something and tells it that we are putting up all the signs we printed? Is it just so we can catch the handful of signs that scan as "barcode not applicable" or "this...

Going from flow to sales floor is not hard. You already know where everything is! I'm cashiering from 5am - 3pm... I'd rather be on sales floor, but hours are hours and at least I know I won't have time to get bored. :gamer2:

What I don't understand is, if the computer system already knows what's on sale, what does scanning the signs accomplish? I've been spending an hour a week for the last 6 months scanning 3x5s for ad and nobody has ever explained why we do it. None of the other ad setup people seem to know why...

It's very interesting to read about how ad takedown works. I do ad setup every week and none of us who do setup are ever around for takedown, so we have no idea what that involves. I do know we usually run into one or two aisles every week where the people doing takedown obviously weren't paying...

I called the benefits people and they told me that Target benefits start at the beginning of the first full pay period after the first of the month following the date you become eligible. I hit my six months in the middle of one month, signed up for benefits right away, but because of the way...

I'm not really sure whether a union would be beneficial to the store where I work. I'd just like to be able to discuss it openly without fearing for my job.
