No, I don't want to come up for backup.

TPS was caught...pleasuring himself...in the AP office. He was termed immediately and it took forever for anyone to get the true story of what happened to him out of store leadership, they were tight lipped about the whole thing. He was a creep, I wasn't surprised.

STL did this on his very first close in my store, with not just one, but TWO TMs. He's a dumbass. I think the story went that somehow the cops drove by the store and the TMs caught their attention to help let them out? I don't remember the specifics.

If they ever implemented these at my former store (I'm a former TM), I guarantee you they wouldn't bother staffing anyone to run them and would expect the poor GSA (who surely has a line going out to girls for returns and checkouts) to go over to the SCO lanes to resolve any assistance needed...

I definitely did feel stressed, but those days dated back to when I first started there and wanted to do a good job and impress the LODs. And that was back when the LODs were worth impressing and working hard for. Once I made a name for myself and they knew I was an expert zoner and knew what I...

If you've only been closing, you'll find that you won't recognize a lot of the people working during the morning. I remember the first time I worked earlier in the day after being there a month or two just closing - I didn't know a soul! If you're just doing reshop or zoning, you probably won't...

There's a former Greatland about 25 minutes away from me and I know it was built sometime in 2001 or 2002, so they were definitely still being built after 1999. Really cool to shop in one and see how much bigger they are than the standard stores.

No one EVER pays attention to the aisle description labels or the outrigger signs in my store, there are so many mislabeled aisles. I wouldn't be surprised if they left all of them up.

Fun isn't quite the word I'd use to describe a smart huddle...

I'm not gonna lie I'd totally use one of those if I set pogs regularly, I lose track of my counting sometimes and it'd be nice to have it laid out in front of me. I think my store has some in the fixture room but I've never seen anyone use one.

We were allowed to wear jeans one day last year during the jean promotion week...I recall us having to have donated something in order to participate though. There wasn't a stipulation on the brand thankfully, as I do not own any Target brand jeans, lol.

I imagine every store is like high school, gossip and cliques abound. No one trusts anyone in my store, it's pretty bad. What I've learned is that you have to watch what you say and who you say it to, because it can wind up anywhere, even if they didn't intend for it to.

Despite the many frustrations and annoyances, I stayed because a) so many of my friends were there b) it worked with school/my schedule/availability and c) I'm damn good at my job. I don't enjoy retail, but something about the action of it all always interested me. Now that I've gotten my...

I'm fairly certain there is one flow TM left from my orientation, but I don't work mornings so I don't know for sure. There were maybe like 5 or 6 others at mine. Soon he'll be the sole survivor, my time with Spot is up. :)

I do the same thing, press that button all you want, but unless the GSA/service desk calls, I'm staying put.
