A guest showed me a small rip in a box, let's say it was a blender; then said there was one other of the same item on the shelf, but she doesn't feel like running back to get it. Looks expectantly at me. I say I cannot go run for it and leave the register. She asks if she can have a discount. I...

I used to tell guests a lot about YouTube videos about how to use your Cartwheel. So many guests were confused by it.

Thank you! I intend to do just this; there is a smaller Target nearby too. I have to ask, how is the 60 days measured? My last work day was January 4, is that 60 days from then to reapply?

Ok, 1. Perfect for that. All availability, I was They said they used to time the cashiers but they stopped, they want customer engagement, chat, which I excelled at. I wasn't a slow cashier though. In the first few weeks, my light went on, but after that, not very much at all Not so great Who...

I was obsessing over being a seasonal cashier this past Christmas, and they didn't ask me to go permanent. I figured they didn't keep any cashiers. But last night I went to Target as a guest, and there was a girl who said she started the same time as me, and they kept her perm. She said they...

If they call you in to talk to you, head it off by first asking them what you can do in the future, so it doesn't happen again. Don't lead off by apologizing. They will at least see that you want to be careful. If they are going to fire you they will; maybe they won't.

I was mediocre at signing up new red cards. Fully half of my guests already had one. The others said "NO" definitely and resisted sweet talk. I was always early for shift, came in both times when I was called ti fill in for a call-out. Never called in and never left early. Never even had cross...

Really!? And they would keep me? I will do that thank you.

Thank you all, really. I want to work there. I went through Christmas rush, which people told me was going to be a nightmare. It was busy, but not a nightmare. There was no guest who was a lunatic. There was only one couple I can say I didn't like, but they weren't insane. I will reapply.

My TL last night, my last shift, said glowing things about me, things that were complimentary and seem sincere. But they are not keeping me after the season. I am in good standing so she said I could reapply in the next season which is Easter. Does that mean they don't want me as a regular...

Wow I sure hope they keep me! You give me hope. I am a strong cashier, and will get even better. I am about the only cashier who engages with guests, and they emphasized that at orientation.

I am a cashier, seasonal, part-time and I really want to stay on after Christmas, just like I am. One TL doesn't seem to like me too much, she is abrupt with me all the time. True I don't know if she is like that with everybody. The HR director seems to like me, the other TLs are ok. The other...

If you impressed upon her that it is the guest (and another employee!) who behaved like a jerk, not her, then forget about it. It will reinforce that it was just a time someone else behaved badly. I am 63 so things aren't going to make me cry, which I would have done over almost anything, when...

This is so goofy, but some cards have a number that is so small, on 2 occasions I have had to ask the guest to read it to me, so I could key it in.

I am a seasonal who wants to stay past the holidays. I am super reliable. Age 63, so I am diversity too. I am good at chatting with customers, not super fast, but I like the job, which is cashiering. I could be switched to HR, I have an extensive background in that. I don't know how it is on...
