Since February, I've gone from working 38 hours a week to 11. I went from working consistent 4 and 5am shifts to working shifts that are all over the place. Because my hours have been cut so drastically with no chance of getting more hours (Kronos doesn't work on my phone and ETL-HR will not...

Thank you. The main reason I added hours is because I hadn't really given early mornings much thought. When I started getting consistent 5 and 6am shifts, I realized that I could open up my availability to work 4am on weekends where I thought mornings were completely out. Of course, now I'm...

I wasn't "handling shelf dividers". I was walking by the shelf and I scraped my finger on the divider. That can happen with ANYBODY in the store. A guest can easily bump into something when trying to squeeze past another guest, or while reaching into a shelf to grab something. I overestimated...

If the dividers on the shelves are so sharp that I need work gloves (which 1, I don't have and 2, would be too big for me to use anyway), then that's a major issue as I don't know any guest who dons protective gloves to shop at Target.

I am available 105 out of a 133 hours the store has employees working. Even people with a regular, full time job only work 40-50 hours or so out of a total of 168 hours in a week. So,my availability is PRETTY open. There are literally only TWO hours on Saturday I cannot work, and I'm scheduled...

The STL was also the LOD- this happened on a day I was working a 4am shift- the store wasn't even open at the time. My STL is female and I'm straight, so that's irrelevant. And while it might have healed, the point is, it WASN'T healing properly. The cut kept ripping/splitting open. I felt...

I spoke to two separate TLs regarding this. I made sure my availability WAS correct in the system. I have been scheduled outside of my availability AGAIN. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like if I stand up for myself, I'll be sacked for not being a "team player", but I really cannot...

Last Saturday, I was carrying a box in Pfresh and sliced my right index finger on one of the large, clear shelf section dividers. As soon as it happened (and I had calmed myself enough to pick up my walkie to call), I called a "Code Green" and reported my injury. The STL applied antibiotic...

I decided to ask someone on the Hunter Boots website about the Target launch because the general view among team members is that we're getting a great deal on $160 boots. So, I asked if these are the same boots at a limited time only discounted rate, or if these are completely different boots...

There are already bad reviews on Target.com for the boots. You know something is bad when you have bad reviews BEFORE the launch even starts. I'm SO glad I'm not working Saturday, and I get out before the store opens Sunday.

I'm not sure if any of these are covered: 1. The One Word Orders- These are the shoppers that don't bother saying "Hi" or "Excuse me" to get your attention, but just walk up to you and say exactly what they're looking for. "Eggs!" "Milk!" "Greeting cards!" 2. The ones who don't care if you're...

I'm sure the boots will last the guests all of 15 days after purchasing before they fall apart. I almost want to work in guest services starting the 29th... even though I'm sure *someone* will make me give into the whining/complaining and let people return them after the 14 days.

The whole TL, STL, LOD thing still confuses me. At my last retail job, we had store managers and department managers. If you have a problem, you first go to your department manager. If it isn't resolved OR the department manager is out that day, you then go to an assistant/associate manager...

Some people were able to preorder them with their red cards. The reviews online are PRETTY bad. I think I'll save up and buy the real deal instead of purchasing through Target.

I am working in a brand new Target store. While I've been trained to some degree in multiple areas (hardlines, softlines, guest services, cashier, dry market, pfresh, back room, etc.) I've primarily been working in Pfresh since the store opened. During my training at another store, someone...
