    Archived Hearing that most Macy's stores will open at 8pm on Thanksgiving Day...

    Agreed, when you're a TL you feel like you HAVE to say yes. However, if I get a choice I'd want the shift I had last year Midnight- 8am. Just enough crazy and then it's slow the rest of the night until the sun came up.

    Archived Did anyone else know this?

    yeah, as a GSA I was encouraged to log in as GSTL so I could help run the team better.

    Archived New Card Readers

    They are black (I'll get a pic next time I'm in the store), and they are REALLY nice! They are still crashing my registers every now and then, and they also make some of the registers go very slowly. Over all though they are much more user friendly.

    Archived New Card Readers

    We had brand new card readers installed in my store this week. Anyone else get them? If you have I hope your installation was not as painful as mine. It shut down all of my registers, except for two until 11 am. My Starbucks register would not turn on at all and they were closed until...

    Archived Do you guys remember your first day working at Target?

    I was hired as an instocks team member the week before Black Friday. I remember my first day at the bullseye I spent learning how to back stock in the back room and how to pull batches. The next day I just did go-backs and zone. I was off for a few days and came back to work on black friday...

    Archived Read Across America

    So I'm about to go out with my team to a local elementary school for Read Across America. This is my favorite volunteer event we do :) Does anyone know why we stopped having our Dr. Seuss reading in stores? I was told Target wasn't doing that this year. I'm just not sure why since I know at...

    Archived I need advice...

    Yeah no I wasn't a TL when I got hired, but like many college students upon graduation I found myself desperate for a job. Lo and behold Target hired me and that's where I've been since lol. I appreciate your honesty about the going unnoticed part. Our food ave's been without a TL since June...

    Archived "I have a chemistry degree and I'm working retail hahahaha"

    I have a music degree and graduated in 2009, I've been working my up the ladder since I started with Target. My new ETL just graduated from the same school I graduated from and now he's my boss. Oh yes, and one of the other ETL's I have graduated from the same school and class (2009) as me...

    Archived I need advice...

    I am currently a GSA at my store, but this morning it was brought up to me by my ETL-HR (and several other TL's) that the Team Lead position in Food Ave. is opening. Now I want to promote, I've been wanting to be a team lead for the past 2 years. Got promoted to GSA last May and feel like I...

    Archived So, my first real day at Target (after orientation)...

    I wish I could give you some hope, but that seems pretty typical of some team members. I'm not saying all across the board, but I know at my store there's a lot or griping and complaining (usually about each other, or why they have to do something when it's so and so's job to do it, etc.). The...

    Archived Black Ops II Midnight Release! Are you ready?

    So yesterday I was talking with our AP about the launch. She was saying there's going to be gamestations for people to play while their waiting AND that we're going to have Black Friday priced TV's. As far as I know, my store has yet to come up with a crowd management plan so yeah...this is...

    Archived Black Ops II Midnight Release! Are you ready?

    My store is going to do it as well!!! I saw it on workbench and immediately volunteered for it (I used to work in electronics and then got promoted to GSA), I'm geeking out over it. What was funny is that I found out about it before my ETL's knew. They all said, "Oh, are we doing it? bummer"...

    Target Memes

    My husband gets so annoyed with me doing the same thing! I'm constantly judging other Targets thinking things like "who zones this store?" and "well they're not Fast Fun and Friendly at all!" Hilarious to me, annoying to anyone who shops with me :laugh4:
