    Archived The best shoes for working retail

    Here's a picture of my favorite work shoes. They are Skecher's shape ups and they are VERY hard to find, but well worth it.

    Archived What do you say when going on a break?

    I was working Pharmacy this last year with Target so I either just said I was taking my break or one of the Techs would tell me it was time to take a break. Back there we just let each other know, we didn't use the walkie. When I was a cashier I had to wait for the GSTL to either tell me to go...

    Short answer: she died. Long answer you'll need to watch the two part episodes, they're on Netflix. :)

    Archived Dumb questions from Guests......really..... you have to ask?

    In my first Target we had a closed sign that was put up as I turned off the lights. I'd still get guests asking if I was closed. I'd just say "yes we open tomorrow at 9 AM". These are the same people who will look at the out of order sign on the popcorn and say "So I can't get any popcorn...

    Archived Things you MISS from Target

    I miss the FFF events we used to do. We use to have wheelchair races after hours, TPing the LOD or STL, Hit your favorite TL with a pie, or water balloon, and silent auctions of display items to raise money for United Way. Now we get snacks of some kind in the breakroom, which is great, but I...

    Archived I'm leaving Target, after 12 years!

    I will be putting in my two weeks notice the end of August. I am moving permanently to England with my husband. He has family there and it was time I got to know them. He gave up everything to move here to marry me, it's the least I can do for him. It's going to be a great adventure...

    Archived Shop at target?

    If I only have a couple of items to get I will shop at Target, it's just easier. If I have a lot of groceries to get I tend to go to ALDI's, it's way cheaper there even factoring in the tm discount. I do have to go to Walmart once a month to get my Straight Talk card. I just can't get cheaper...

    Archived Would you go in if you were scheduled for a 3 hour shift?

    I only live 3 miles away so yes I would go in for a three hour shift. I would most likely let it be known that I wasn't really happy with a shift that short, but I'd do it anyway. I am primarily Pharmacy so unless there was a scheduling snafu I don't think I have to worry about it. Also...

    Archived I think the end is near for Target.

    Normally I work Pharmacy but I picked up a couple of cashier shifts and found out we aren't supposed to be asking if people want to open a red card. Plus there aren't any prompts on the registers. Still it seems as busy as January usually does. I have noticed a lot more people using cash...

    Archived Now it's posted, what's your schedule for Thanksgiving and Black Friday?

    I have Wednesday off. 7:40 PM on Thursday to 1 AM Friday, then back at Noon on Friday to 8:30. Not really happy about that but I did volunteer to open on Black Thursday/Friday. Still, it gets earlier every year, I just know that in a couple years we won't even bother to close at all for...

    Archived Lay's Wavy Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate - Target Exclusive

    Chocolate covered potato chips are great. Sweet and salty all wrapped in one snack. OK, now I have to have some too.

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

    :angry::facepalm: I think that by next year we won't be asking when we open for Black Friday, but IF we close at all between Thursday 8AM and Friday 11PM?!?! We haven't been told when we are opening this year, but 7 or 8 has been tossed around. Also we've been told not to be surprised with a...

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

    I asked the LOD the other day and he said that it hasn't been decided yet, BUT it may be 8PM. When I asked him about Macy's opening at 6PM he said he hadn't heard about that, but didn't think we'd open that early. I just wish they'd tell us already. Especially those with large families, so...

    Archived ULV SuperTarget Pilot

    Since the FR isn't really monitored that much in most Targets anyway I don't see any increase in theft. The operator's job has been changed over the last few years to be so much more than just answering phones and screening guests that try on clothes. They have to do re-wrap, re-ticket, hang...
