    Archived CVS Pharmacy @ Target

    Given those facts, I find it difficult to understand how this was a smart move for Target. They sold it off for less than half of their annual revenue. Granted, that's not profit and Target will continue to be able to get rent from CVS for the pharmacies but this just seems weird. Now the...

    Archived CVS Pharmacy @ Target

    My biggest question is how are they going to handle backups now. At most of the stores I worked at there was always at least a few other team members that were trained to backup cashier in pharmacy in case of rushes. Is CVS going to bring in their own non-tech cashiers to man the registers...

    Archived Kmart's implosion has been Target's gain

    I'm not so sure it's just remodeling that puts you at the top of big box retail. I think it's a lot of things. See, the weird thing is everything you can point at making Kmart fail over the last 25 years can be said about Walmart, which has grown to dominate big box retail. Walmart hasn't...

    Archived AP, what should team members not call you about?

    In addition to these, The one that used to bother me was the call to tell me that a product didn't have a spider wrap on the shelf. Look, you've got legs, you know where the spider wraps are, put it on yourself. Unless it's been removed or tampered with, it's not important enough to pull AP away...

    Archived Putting in your two weeks

    Filling out that form was one of my 3 favorite days at Target. The other 2 were being promoted to APL from TPS and my last day as APL.

    Archived Experiences

    That type of business-first mentality is what's drilled into their heads from day 1 of business college. Some, and by some I mean very few, are able to see beyond the cloudy haze of Target's kool-aid drenched training and actually conduct themselves accordingly; most have no sympathy or empathy...

    He'd have to be directly told he was trespassed.

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    Nah, the amount isn't important. You can be termed for a lot less theft. One of my Starbucks consumption cases (had to end up being an HR term, like I talked about before) had only taken about $20-30 of Starbucks food/drinks and she got termed as well. What I do find surprising is that if...

    Archived Worker group presses Target to boost hourly wage

    The difference came when Walmart announced the $10 starting wage. That was the exact point at which Walmart has fully surpassed Target in treatment of employees.

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    You can sue for being terminated from your job in spite of being an at will employee but it's pretty narrow. Basically, if you're terminated because you're part of a Title VII protected class (race, gender, religion, etc.) but it has to be because you're terminated for being one of those...

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    That's usually personal injury because they take 1/3 of whatever you win and that's their pay day. Where OP is at would be employment law and unless he can fall under a statute that awards attorney fees, no private attorney is going to take the case for free. With the civil demand letter...

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    Like I said, they're really shady about the stuff they tell you regarding those civil demand letters. You're definitely right though, no one has to sign those letters, but nevertheless they almost always get them signed. It's all about intimidation and guilt-tripping.

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    That's the thing though, Target has opened themselves up to this kind of thing with their "Vibe" initiative. They told us over and over and over again to do whatever we had to do to make it right for the guest. The part they seemingly didn't take into account is the legal ramifications of...

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    You mentioned that you have to pay back all the discounts you gave. I take it that was because you signed their civil demand? Did you have any charges brought against you? In either event, they can be really shady with those civil demand letters they force people into signing. Do yourself a...
