Thanks so much . . . most of the upper management at my store were very much like this, and you know, in their defense (if I can be so bold) I suppose you adapt to your environment to maintain your own status quo. I can't fault them for that - nonetheless. It might also be enlightening to know...

Thanks so much for your insights - these are all pretty terrific points. At this point, I'm letting it go - nothing really to be gained for me by parsing out what someone said to me, who said it or what their motivation really was, whether they meant it or were just playing politics, and...

No lie - I want my name to be pink.

At the store I work[ed], the guest literally won every time, no matter what or how crazy the story or problem, or how much against policy. I watched a co-worker try to ring a return for two big ticket items for a total of about $400+ without a receipt and guests who allegedly paid in cash. Even...

LOL. So . . . I google search and happen to come across a relatively obscure website yesterday for Target people after having a super awful day at Tarjay. I decide I need the attention of strangers, so I make up a story, then I make up a conversation with the ETL who hired me (who was off...

Precisely how I feel - I enjoyed my job immensely, and "fast tracking" to anywhere was not in my plans. I would have been content to simply ride out my seasonal part-time job meeting people and ringing at the front lanes, while being my usual friendly self. I was not given a choice to "fast...

(1) At [MY] Target (edited), the "little old lady" always wins - whether you stay or not. (BTW, I'm not into who wins or loses an argument, misunderstanding, schlong war, etc. as a yardstick to judge the success of my life); (2) I feel absolutely certain based on my ETL that I am not the first...

Thanks, RetailGirl. I agree 100%. Best wishes to all who can withstand evil customers who want your job for their mantle, and all who want to withstand the ridiculous "mean girl" management tactics for a meager wage.

LOL!

Who decides what is mature and what isn't mature, GlobalTL123? Your simple statement sounds like some purple Koolaid your parents made you drink that really had no basis in reality. I did not simply stop showing up - I made my position clear to a manager, and in a nice, quiet way. I didn't go...

Thank you everyone for your input - Just talked with my ETL who proceeded with full disclosure. The GSTL yesterday admitted that he told me that Guest Services numbers were down knowing full-well that they were not down because of me or guest surveys written about me. So, no - there have been no...

Thank you PogDog! I appreciate the insight.

Commiecorvus, that was the most real answer yet - thank you, and you are spot on.

We are in a bounty law state, which is why I suspect it has been such a point that was driven home with me. And, honestly, I appreciate that the guest has a right to be upset that they now have to stand in the Guest Service line to correct a mistake, but, if I'm doing what I was told to do, how...

SFSFun - I appreciate your feedback, and I agree - you can't go through life immediately giving up on a dream or quitting school, or throwing in the towel just because you lost that big race you worked so hard to win but didn't. I disagree that everything in life is worth sticking with. Agreed -...
