In my experience, the testing facility will call you, and ask if you are taking prescriptions IF you test dirty, and then you have to bring in your prescription. In my town, both the local Target and Wal Mart drug test offsite, but at the same facility. I tested for wal mart and failed, got a...

I have to admit, I am one of those people who just stopped showing up. I worked at Target for about 8 months, and it was like cyanide and happiness for me... I mean, it was usually a fun place, the execs usually helped the team members if we were running behind on something, but I just couldnt...

What monkey said, but wearing a khaki shirt and red pants.

Go right ahead! I dont even use it, im one of those lazy cashiers who decline it soon as the prompt pops up. EDIT: Well, at times anyways. Some days i will bust out 3-4 redcards(some days my store doesnt get a single one) and other days I will get discouraged and just give up. It just depends on...

I like to open up with "Have you heard about our 5% rewards program?" I got that one from our STL actually. It provokes conversation, and may get them interested before they realize your just another cashier trying to push your stores credit card.

I have completely open availability, but the "hours game" still gets irritating at times. One week i will be scheduled 38 hours, and the next I will be scheduled 20. Being that I have still not had a single raise and am an hourly team member trained everywhere other than service desk, it gets...

Funny, my store almost NEVER cleans the restroom. Its not a rare occurrence at all for the female GSTL/GSAs to pull a male cashier off their lane and tell them to go hit the button in the bathroom. I have seen the same muddy footprints on the floor for days more than once.

To the TMs who stick the handle of their PDAs down their butt-crack, please stop. I understand the holsters are sub-par, and that its a pain to walk around with a PDA in your hand, but its just disgusting when i can see the strap on your thong around the PDA. Target should be required to...

LMAO!!!! I love it! I guess I know a good way to lighten the mood next time I am zoning notions!

I like that idea. At my store, you have to enter the exact quantity. Which usually means dumping out that whole box of cotton balls to count and find that your missing one or two, or to dump out a case of 124 pens to count and see that your missing 5, etc. It annoys me, I don't really care that...

Sounds about like our store. Supposedly some team members were scheduled to clean up BTS and reloc everything, but its pointless. Our shelves/wacos are literally 200% overfull, everyone avoids backstocking in that aisle on truck days. I usually end up getting stuck with it, and usually, you walk...

I hate BTS, especially being that our stores backroom is tiny. Most of our wacos/open stock locations are packed full with merchandise, our accuracy has gone to ************. Goodbye top in the district, hello to 5-6 DPCIs per waco!

I work at a 6am store so by the standards of most I should be getting a decent amount of sleep, but between sometimes closing the night before, and the next morning unloading a 2600 piece truck, on top of a 45 minute drive to/from work (and cooking, caring for pets, you get the idea) my...

The most we usually get is 6-10 a day, but the number is usually closer to 0-4. Our cashiers try hard, but the majority of people who shop at our store arent interested.

At my store, there are no cell phones allowed, backroom or sales floor. It is funny how much it reminds me of highschool. You must have your phone in your locker or car (unless you are like me and carry it anyways, but keep it on silent and don't look at it). You get coached if it so much as...
