To imply that the story you’ve linked is anything but an exception to the rule would be silly. Target is largely an entry-level job with little-to-no room for growth for many. While hard work and dedication is surely rewarded to some, you have to compare it to pretty much any other industry...

Guest, to another: “Dr. Seuss is a drug addict, no way I’m buying that book for Billy!!!” me: *snickers uncontrollably* Guest, to another: “oh look the Target Boy has a sense of humor” ...

You seem pleasant, darling.

TTOnewTM: You were absolutely amazing tonight. You make me kinda sad I’m leaving because I think you have a good enough work ethic to help us fix some of our problems. I’m sorry for making you follow me as I ran around like a dipshit doing flexes and moving pallets of crap around. TTOTL: You’re...

Putting in my 2 weeks today. Hoping leadership doesn’t get pissy with me leaving. I haven’t been unhappy with my job at target (only annoyed that lazy TMs get away with their scummy ways) but I’ve just been offered an amazing new opportunity. Right before Q4 which sucks for them but hey if they...

I cannot stand the flocks of teenage girls that take all the beanbags in child bedding and have a slumber party in the aisle for up to an hour. Happens at least once a week while I’m there. Like, you seriously couldn’t come up with something more entertaining to do for your weeknight?!?

Females by far. When I got moved to hardlines there were a bunch of guys and I’d always feel super awkward because they’d have a habit of just standing around near electronics shootin’ the shit. Once they all left I became the only guy in hardlines minus electronics and we became very productive...

“You don’t have to fold clothes all day, lucky you” Yes, zoning my area might be easier, but that is why there are 5 closers in softlines and 1 closer in hardlines, darling who always seems to be on her phone every time I take a visit in softlines in order to do a flex.

Yeah when I came on E2E was just starting and I've always felt like I couldn't afford to go overboard with salesmanship and upselling because if I do that for every guest I would never be able to get all of the autofills, freight, backstock, manuals, stray, research, and zoning done for the day...

TTOG: Repeating a description of the item you’re looking for after I say “we have nothing like that” multiple times isn’t going to make it appear out of thin air, and it isn’t going to change my answer. Unless you’re looking for Beetlejuice, then you’re in luck.

I've seen him use it plenty of times before and he's been such a pain in the ass to work with anyway so I figured "whats the worst that could happen".

TTOTM: I had the wave keys, I gave them to you. 10 minutes later, "GrandTheftAutumn go to 2" You asked "can you come to the back" FINE... I muttered 'you fricken hack' "How do I turn on the wave" you cried ... fine, I'll show you... I sighed. "Oh no one ever told me that before" Yes they did...

In my store new operators are either too quiet or don't repeat the call request over and over again until someone answers. Also if no one is assigned to an area (such as HBA/CHEM on the late shift) they have a hard time getting people to actually pick up the phone unless they call people out on...

Payroll could just be low this week, or they could be busy training a whole bunch of new seasonal cashiers.

TTOTM: I’m pretty offended that you think you can talk about women like that in front of me. Like damn man you even have a girlfriend. Do I look like the type of guy that would be okay with hearing that crap? And for the last damn time I don’t have a girlfriend and I’m not going to the bar...
