TTOG! I'm leaving target soon so I thought it'd be vindicating to do a mass post on my fave guests ;) > The "Thank you so much, you just fed my children!" guest Really? I had another one of you this week. I'm not sure if you know this, but children will always need feeding. I had nothing to do...

How do guests even have the balls to do this? I would never walk into someone else's workplace acting like their supervisor, like I know how their payroll and hours add up, as if I have a valid opinion on how tired they ought to be. I had a woman ask me to turn my light back on last night...

This sale was like a mini Black Friday for our store. Except the guests were 10x more horrible and entitled. I definitely didn't have as much BS to deal with around november/december last year. I wasn't even scheduled to work yesterday! Bless you Spot, I won't miss you.

TTOG, good luck expecting anyone else to smile and say SURE when you ask them to "Shut the fuck up and bag my shit, bitch." You're small, you have bad attitude, and you live in a shitty area. You're going to get broken teeth one of these days. ;) And I don't care what my store's policies are...

LOL I've actually loved marimekko (housewares) forever so I'm stoked. I'm so jealous of the people who were TMs when Spot had Rodarte, Jovovich-Hawk, and Erin Fetherston.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I've asked for sales training frequently since I started in September, and made sure to reiterate the hope in January (along with mentioning anxiety and how I'd be absolutely fine doing backup,) but no cigar. We rarely have shift swaps available and never the...

Nobody has said it outright at my store but I'm pretty sure it's happening to some of us at Target. I've gotten just about 20 hours every week this year despite everyone else having a drop in hours, but my RedCard performance has gone down pretty drastically. I've finally been scheduled a 13...

Just a quick question. Anyone know if a TM is allowed to work at multiple Target locations? I was just offered softlines at a second location, but they called back saying they couldn't offer the job to me since I'm already an employee. I'm dying to get out of the front lanes due to some anxiety...

I actually tried this before applied for retail but finding work in my city is rough. As the hours slow down I'll probably look into something along those lines just in case HR keeps hiring external for trainees (we've had two HR trainees in my short time at our location :eek: first one...

Not too surprised! One of our Food Ave TMs has a BA in aeronautical engineering. So I don't think I'm special, I just know that I might be more useful in a clerical position. I came in with a degree and prior place as a key holder from my last job; only left because Target was closer and offered...

Hey TBR! It's been a while. You guys were amazing helping me when I first started out at my store, and I think because of all the info available here, I did really well all through the holiday season. I was always in the top seven RedCard pushers, if not consistently hitting number two in my...

21) you're always put on the registers missing those dang magnetic security removing things, or that one with the broken card reader

That makes sense, but I feel like it still fits with what I mean when I say everyone seems to think every store handles modules consistently. To me it's almost like they've disregarded the whole idea. I've been working on registers everyday since orientation, and went fairly unmonitored the...

This is going to sound a little aggressive, because I think some of ya'll are assuming training is consistent when it comes to this elusive workbench. Yes, they're modules if you're actually put on a computer an given a course. But in TricksterGirl's training (as she says above) and in mine, we...

Did you have orientation at all? The process at my store was like this: First work day was orientation; we introduced ourselves, watched some videos covering some of what the quizzes had, and read over one Safety Guidelines booklet (general food industry stuff) and a printout that had maybe one...
