You WILL close boxes early. They may have as few as a single item. My old co-worker and I were the designated Scan Party... If there was a scan that we each didn't close a box with less than five items; It was a miracle.

Target used to offer a Hardship fund, but that program was discontinued a few years back. You needed a letter of recommendation from an ETL, as well as STL approval. To my knowledge, Target has not replaced the program. LifeResources seems to be the go-to recommendation... but I've found them...

What work center? Electronics is easy. Be their friend. Learn about them. "What brings you in today?" is a great start. What are they looking at? TV's? Ask where it will be. Who is it for. Were there any features they wanted to know more about, or were particularly looking for? Know a bit...

$8.25, but should have been higher if HR had keyed me correctly for the first four years...

Sales have been pretty good. REDcard goals consistently surpassing goal by a good amount. 600 hours cut this month.

Unless it's changed recently, you could only price match and use your TM discount to Target's own website, but not to another retailer/Amazon/etc.

Having been employed by Circuit City for the last two years of it's life as a physical store; I can say that Target seems to be in a much better place... purely for the fact that it's not a "Specialty" store. It doesn't focus on one specific set of products. Target has everything you could...

So. Title. I needed to get out to one of our trailers as the Front End was in desperate need of bags. All of my ETL's on today were busy pushing in P-Fresh, so one of them literally handed me their store keys. I immediately questioned if they should have done that, and the response was "I...

No one has mistaken me for a celebrity in person... But a regular guest who comes in looks ALMOST identical to James Hetfield of Metallica... Quite a striking resemblance, actually.

Depends exactly what they have you doing... but general rules of thumb: Talk up REDcards/Accessories/Service Plans to guests buying big-ticket items, or any items where those apply. Know what is, and is not currently available. Once you run out of stock of something, make sure your fellow team...

Taylor Swift came through last year... She stopped in for Starbucks... Of course, this happened on my day off... Dammit.

Flow dropped our Nuka Cola case. 'Nuff said.

Chipping in my two cents: Original news spread (Thanks to yours truly) before the REDwire notice hit my store. STL Immediately put it into effect in regards to the returns of coupon based transactions. Scammer Guest came in and tried to return a $450 HBA transaction... We denied it, she...

My store is wonky. We're technically an A volume store, according to Store Reports. Our goals during the week are in the 80k range, with weekend goals topping 105-110k. Fourth quarter, our goals top 200k. We're one of the physically larger store in my area, however, with all of our neighbor...

I had to apply for it within the past 6 months. Be honest. Speak with your HR (Or ETL), and inform them of the situation and your interest in the hardship fund. They'll give you a form to fill out, and be as descriptive as possible. Your STL may also talk with you in regards to this. They'll...
