So I usually work Guest Services and my primary work center is Service Desk (my store actually has a service desk work center label) and I love it. I have gotten good feedback about my work at the service desk. Today was extremely slow because of the weather. Everything in my town is closed and...

Oh boy! Let me just join in on this and tell you my story. It will get easier and better. When I was hired, I was also brought in as cashier. It is my first job ever and I had no previous history working. However, when I was interviewing, they noticed I had a customer service background from all...

Question: I was going back through my schedule and noticed that some of them were black for service desk a couple of weeks ago. I did notice that they were all from shifts I have taken and not shifts i had originally been scheduled for. What does this mean?

Thank you. I've been wanting to get my primary work center changed to Service Desk for a while and I'm glad it's finally been done. I know the pay will be the same, but it's so much more enjoyable over there compared to being a cashier. I'm not worried about the pay. There is a gain from it. I...

I started working at target about 4 months ago and I was hired in as Cashier. It has been my primary work center since I've started. They trained me over at the Service Desk and started scheduling me more and more over there. Well, I asked to get my primary work center changed from cashier to...

So the ETL-HR said she didn't have a problem with it. Then the ETL-GE said he would be looking into making it happen at the first of the year. I'm really hoping it will all turn out for the good! Really wanting to get it changed to Service Desk and less on the cash register.

I know we must wear red and khaki (althorugh the handbook says you can wear any solid color except for jeans), but I was wondering if I am able to wear a red shirt that has "Hollister" on the very bottom right. It's solid everywhere except for that small (probably 3 inches long) little tag at...

So I went in and it was a success. I didn't train really, but as soon as I clocked in, I asked how to use a myDevice and somebody explained it to me. Then I called the LOD and he put me in toys. I did reshop all night there and went up to backup cashier. Then I zoned and then zoned rear...

Will this count as my training? Will they be able to schedule me out there later on?

I just got a call to come in and work Hardlines - Sales Floor. I've been asking to train there, but I haven't ever gotten trained. She said I would be dealing with reshop, helping guests, etc. not an official training. What should I expect? I go in soon in about an hour.

Just talked to Clerical about changing it from Cashier to Service Desk. She said she could probably do it, but she will have to ask LOD approval, so she said she would ask. Fingers crossed.

I know that training in other areas will decrease my cashier scheduling chances. That's basically my entire point. However, only a few of us (about 6) are trained at the service desk and get scheduled there. One of the 6 works ONLY on Sundays at any part of the store and another of the 6 asked...

I understand that I'll be schedules on the floor and everything which is completely fine with me. I want to be able to move around and be pulled as needed. My goal is to be scheduled as cashier as little as possible. I wouldn't mind having to go up multiple times while working the floor. As long...

Sorry that the post is so long by the way. Just trying to give everyone the full picture.

I have a couple of questions about training and primary work centers. So a couple of weeks ago I asked my HRTL about training on the sales floor since I am currently work as cashier and service desk. I love service desk, but absolutely despise cashier. I started as cashier, but when they...
