On my availability form I put 20'ish or so hours for 'maximum hours available' - the next two weeks I'm pretty much scheduled for 30 hrs/wk. Can they do that? Also, does Target pay time and a half for Halloween and Black Friday?

Seems bleak...am I more likely to get a week off in January?

I'm a student, and I'm planning on taking a week or so vacation in December, possibly January. I'm fairly new at Target, working in the backroom, but how likely is it that I can request a week off during that time? How badly will this affect the team since it's around Christmas time. Also...

I worked for 5 hrs today and after I clocked out, I used the Team Member Services button to confirm the hours I worked. It said 0.0 hrs - does it only register the hours the next day?

Great! Thanks a lot - this forum has been really helpful, being a new team member.

1) In some cases it says to pull 4, so I input 4 and it asks "Did you pull all from this location? Y/N" What do I do? I assumed it meant if there's any of the same item left in the WACO, press N. If there's no more of the same item in the WACO, press Y. 2) Also, is there a way to check...

Sounds like a nightmare. People are just very inconsiderate...something to do with our philosophy of "the customer is always right." It makes people not only selfish, but they forget that we're actually human beings, and the rules of being considerate to your fellow human are just out the window!

Thanks for all your guys' help thus far - really helpful. Have a few more questions (sorry for the barrage) and don't want to make a bunch of threads about it so: 1) I was pulling items from the backroom and the PDA asked for 7, when there was a sealed box of 12. I got two different answers...

My favorite meme is Milhouse.

Cool. Thanks! Maybe this is a dumb question, but why is the (#) relevant? Couldn't they have created a system of 3 numbers instead of 4? Unless I'm missing something here...

I just finished my first day and I kind of forgot which numbers mean what, ie, B14 (4) 2-3-1. Can someone please ID what each number means? Obviously I know B14 is the aisle, but I forget the other ones. Also, my first day I got asked a lot of questions from guests if we sold x item. I have...

Turns out there was a doorbell at the front entrance. Luckily there was a person waiting there, and I was able to ask.

Thanks for the greetings. Hm...alright. I'm pretty sure the manager I spoke to said to enter through the front entrance by ringing a bell but I guess if all else fails, I'll try that.

I just got hired, and I went to orientation already (I start training at 4 am) and they said that there's a bell in the front entrance of the store, and then someone would come and check your ID so you could enter. They said they'd show it to us on the tour during orientation, but they never did...
