All retail is not the same, at least for me. During a 2-year “hiatus” from Target I worked for Kohl’s, Sprouts, Costco, and in wireless sales. While my store manager at Kohl’s was trying to help me make a career out of Kohl’s and I did become one of Sprouts’ “managers” within months, it did not...

I’m really sorry for your experience, that sounds frustrating and unfair. That being said, yes she would tell me. I trust she’s not deceiving me as a store is very unlikely to reach out to a candidate’s prior work location for a PG35 application.

I’m not rehireable for Costco. Absolutely hated working there. When I was gone from Target for 2 years I was unhappy with every job I had. That’s why I can most likely get hired at any retail store I want, but I know it just won’t be the same. I have a tendency towards hyperfixations and...

Just talked to my old store’s current ETL-HR (was ETL-SS when I was there, she loved me) and she says no one reached out to her.

I was a go-getter for sure. When I transferred to my last store I immediately was recognized for my proactive approaches to address the issues with my workcenter. My SD and ETL-HR entrusted in me to support the other team leaders with performance managing their teams. I was in the running for an...

I have around 8 years under my belt with Target. I was made a Team Leader less than 2 years in as GSTL and then SETL. I had to leave in January for mental health reasons (I have Bipolar 1, BPD, and ADHD, the reasons were legitimate). I couldn’t use FMLA because I had exhausted all of that...

Not that I practice this myself but it’s best practice to scan every bag only when the guest arrives for order accuracy reasons so Target won’t go for #1. #2 has been beat to death on this forum and elsewhere. Target won’t go for that. Guest first. Right now they get a gentle reminder and I’m...

The department has always been “in charge” of call buttons. The metric for call button response time has always been a Guest Experience/S&E metric.

This just means your Indyme server is offline and no one at your store cares enough to call it in.

Remember how this just crashed the registers? So we had to restart them which took 20+ minutes?

Does anyone remember the “Wrong Payment” function on Classic POS? That was a really nice feature to have

I liked the Classic POS design of “scan something to get started,” but I realize that this was probably intentionally not done with New POS as it would slow down the application. I would probably still rather have it this way though than jump around to different menus for different functions.

We tell them no unless there is something wrong with the item. Our SD has had it with the bags of old used clothes.

As someone who worked electronics a lot in my early years with Target I can relate. As soon as I walked away from my area to grab a CAF or reshop… ”FAST SERVICE NEEDED IN ELECTRONICS!!! FAST SERVICE NEEDED IN VIDEO GAMES!!!!”
