Sounds like some Pharmacy TM's in Brooklyn have voted to unionize and Target's attempt to invalidate the vote failed. Here's the (unfortunately locked) article.

Thanks! I'll do that in the morning.

I've been on LOA for over 2 months now and always was paid with direct deposit. However, I just got a check in the mail from Target today for $0 that also says void in the Net Amount $ field. Anyone know what this is about? Also, in my hours and earnings summary, it says I earned $0.30 in the...

Sorry everyone, I don't think I was clear. I've been at Starbucks for a long time and I know about all the basics and food safety stuff. I'm going from the standpoint of day-to-day operations. As an experienced SBTM, when you come in for a shift, what information do you need? Stuff like is...

I'm a Starbucks TM and have noticed that communication is lacking in my store. My last TL was working to improve communication and my new one is putting a lot of effort into communicating with us. But it's difficult when there's only 1 TL and 1 FSA and an ETL who none of us like all that much...

When I call AP for things on channel 4, I always wonder if I'm wasting your time or not. When you answer, if you feel comfortable doing so, it might be nice if you mention the volume of your store, since that probably affects your staffing and what you feel is worth your time.

So in (a very high volume) Starbucks, I was working register, my FSA was working order support, and my TL was working the oven. So I look over and see this couple talking to my TL and they look like they're asking for something. Turns out they want a refund for 2 coffees and 2 Sausage...

Trying to get better about keeping the coffee fresh during my closing shifts, but... I mean, so few people order it...

To that one guest who thought that because I was in Photo that I'm supposed to frame your shitty certificate for you: I'm glad you don't want my sympathy. No, I'm not retarded. No, I don't feel like going to hell today. Also, to those Starbucks guests who say, "How're you doing?" and then...

Working Starbucks is a lot of fun and (unless you're in a really small store) should keep you busy for your whole shift. Training can be intimidating; the hardest part is learning all the drinks (and it'll take awhile to remember them all) but after some time, it'll become second nature. Also...

That's what I've heard... oh well, at least it'd make my job easier. Assuming their lost profit doesn't end up killing my store.

Hey everyone! So I've been a SBTM for almost 4 months now and am looking to crosstrain. One of the main areas I'm interested in is Guest Services, since it seems really... Interesting. Anyways, the biggest flaw I believe I have that would make being in that position a problem is that I'm a bit...

Oh wow... that's even worse. I'm sorry :( It's just such little and easy things they need to do to make our jobs easier, but they never do them.

Today was the 2nd worst day of work I've had in my 3 and a half months working for Target. So I came in to start my shift at Target at 3. There were supposed to be five of us there (2 SBTMs, current TL, person training to replace said TL, and me), but one of the TMs called out. So, the managers...

I've had plenty of guests be a little annoying about our prices, but not about how we're contributing to obesity. I mean it's kinda true, but don't be a jerk about it...
