    ...didn't the officer shoot him in the back?

    Archived The Transfer Process

    Make sure your STL knows and approves. I was a pharmacy tech and had total transfer and performance approval from my head pharmacist and team lead and my crappy STL stepped in at the very last minute and wouldn't let me go.

    Archived Drug Test Questions

    Uh, no, it does not demonstrate that. You seem to have no idea what the term recreational means. Just sayin'. It's recreational, as opposed to a drug you take so you don't die. Heart medication = non-recreational. Grabbing a drink after work = recreational. It says absolutely nothing about a...

    Archived Rules of calling out

    Not sure how my store works, but I hate the idea of anything less than 2 hours being classified as a NCNS. It gives sick employees no incentive to try and tough it out. There have been a handful of times where I wake up with a migraine, tell myself that I'll try and tough it out, and then throw...

    Archived Do I HAVE to transfer?

    Here's the situation: I'm currently a pharmacy tech at Target and I'm going to be moving about 25 minutes away in the near future. There's a Target much closer to where I'll be and I started putting the wheels in motion to transfer a few weeks ago. I went on the stores website, saw an opening...

    Archived How strict is your store/HR on dress code?

    Aaaah, so there is some justice in the universe. I can't imagine a dorkier, heat-up-your-ass reaction on the guys part and I love that they didn't get the attention they were so obviously craving.

    Archived Wait, new hires have to wait A YEAR for insurance now?

    I started working at Target in September last year. I was told I'd become eligible for insurance in 6 months, so I waited. Then, when Target changed their policies regarding which of their employees qualified for insurance, I made sure that I was above the 31.5 hour mark. So my official 6 month...

    Archived Pharmacy System

    Same at my pharmacy. Has anybody here worked at a non-Target pharmacy, like Walgreen's or CVS? Between Target's idiotic setup, their unwillingness to schedule anything but a barebones staff, and some of my co-workers, I'm ready to leave. But if it's going to be like this everywhere, I may as...

    Archived Pharmacy System

    Could you explain that a little bit more? Our pharmacy is very high volume. I'm glad to hear positive comments about the new system, we're supposed to get ours in March or April. I started about 5 months ago and it's astounding how poorly setup the entire workflow is. I'm SO glad to hear that...

    No more insurance for part time team members!

    My Target didn't know exactly what the hourly cutoff would be, I'll take your guys word that it's 32. Not sure what this means for me as I'm not really close to 1,000 hours yet. I'm a pharmacy tech and, other than a few weeks over the holidays where I got as low as 20 hours per week, I think I...

    Archived Minimum wage going up soon?

    I recently got hired as a pharmacy tech at $11/hr and just got bumped up to $12. Sounded to me like something state or company-wide, not a merit based thing.

    Archived How to get everything in electronics department 30% off

    I am definitely going to take advantage of this. I pre-ordered my PS4 via Amazon right after E3, so that's locked up but I'm getting everything else at Target. Knack + Killzone + XCom + a year of PS+ 30% off! Freakin awesome.

    Archived So did anyone else pre-order the PS4/Xbox One?

    Does anybody know if you have to buy games from on particular console with the the buy 2, get 1 coupon? As in, could I buy 2 PS4 games and pick up a 360 game for free?

    So hoodies are definitely allowed, then?

    Archived So did anyone else pre-order the PS4/Xbox One?

    I've had mine pre-ordered on Amazon since the night of E3. Only started working at Target a few weeks ago, but I'm sure I still would have stuck with my Amazon pre-order just to be safe (Amazon seems to be better organized and reliable when it comes to things like order allocation). I can't...
