You may have to ask several times. Just be firm but polite. Depending on your etl they may not want to, since you are within your 90 days. Hopefully when they hired you you told them you only had open availability until school started, because if you did and they agreed they have to change...

I got coached all the time about my conversion score. What they never factored in was I got the least number of prompts of most of the cashiers on my shifts because I had people who I had already gotten to open a red card that came thru my line on a regular basis because they liked me. I just...

Last week, between sales, my discount, cartwheel, mobile coupons, paper coupons and 5% off my debit $100 of groceries turned into $55.

My store always says "we'd rather you come in late than not at all" but it's a total lie. Calling in gets you an "okay, feel better." Or "okay" if it's not an illness. Being late gets you a ten minute lecture about responsibilities, no matter the reason. Traffic stops moving for 20 minutes due...

I've work there 7 years and ncns 3 times. The first, I was still in training and they wrote my schedule wrong on the paper they give you at orientation. That one I fought and they didn't hold it against me. The second I was in the ER and couldn't get anyone to pick up the phone before they took...

Yup. Since target dropped my hours down so much I have stopped accruing vacation time. Which I got the notice about AFTER I used my last 3 vacation days. Yet another reason to leave.

Once, I almost got in massive trouble for a buying an "online only" sweater. I had processed the return, softlines came to get their reshop and 45 minutes later I went on break. The sweater had been put on the sales floor and was staring at, crying "buy me! Buy me! I'm only $6!" So I did...

We had woman at gs who would tell the guest the return was going back to their credit card but would actually put it on a gift card and pocket the card. I guess she stole more than $2000 that way, by stealing like $5 dollars here and there. Then one day a guest came up to me with her return slip...

At my store the gstls/gsas don't care if you pee quick and then punch out or punch in and pee, as long as long as you aren't adding 10 minutes to your break. And our store is very strict about the no phones on the clock rule so no one can really sneak off and text. Also, until the fixed the...

My main concern is as the schedule stands I can't work out my last week. I'm willing to work Saturday as I promised someone I'd work for her so she can host her grand kid's birthday party, but the Tuesday and Saturday of the following week (or I guess week now, since it's Sunday) are impossible...

Honestly, even if they were to offer me 30hrs a week again I wouldn't stay. I've been there 7 years and with this newest round of management I get treated like dirt. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot incase further down the line I need a part time job or something. (I'm almost done...

I've worked at Target for 7 years, but recently they've cut my hours to 8 or less a week and I can't pick up enough shifts to make ends meet. So I found a second job. It pays more, the hours are consistent and guaranteed, and they treat their employees like people. I wasn't planning to leave...
