So I worked at a clothing store before target where we used had to push the store credit card (similar to the red card). Since I was mainly a cashier at that store I want to include that in the other job description. Does anyone have a good bullet point for that? I don't know why I'm struggling...

Thanks everyone! This was really helpful. I just needed a few ideas to get the juices flowing. I'll let you know if I have any follow-up.

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but here goes. I left target in summer 2016 and I am currently updating my LinkedIn profile. I stopped updating around 2015 (oops), but I'll be back on the job market soon and I want to get it all up to date. The jobs I'll be looking for probably...

If we got a certain number of Red Cards one of the ETLs did the running man challenge thing. Everyone was called up to the front and the intern played that song over her phone while the ETL danced.

Thanks! I'm assuming the overnights were full shifts? Like eight hours? We were given three days during store hours. There were 3-5 of us each day (including myself) with a total of four or five hours each day. It definitely wasn't enough especially because half of the people would just walk up...

That's a good idea! We have the same issue with having a hot store and people complaining. Some TM would tell guests that complained to them that we are 'working on it' or something similar, although that wasn't true at all and they knew it. But I think they just didn't know what to say...

I'm just curious how much time you were giving for inventory prep. I did it last year with a small group and we were given what seemed like a very short amount of time to complete everything. I imagine having inventory done correctly is pretty important, but there were definitely parts that...

My uncle was homeless briefly (like four-six months) when he was in his twenties. He sometimes slept in a tent someone gave him and other nights he would crash at friends houses. He was employed and attending school. He did have a gym membership that he paid for and used it to shower so it does...

At the three minute mark it said "the target cafe closed before I could get a hot dog...". He was there for fifteen hours! Am I missing something or are his time management skills just horrible?

Here is what I was told for the final paycheck -- it won't come with the rest of the paychecks; it comes earlier. So let's say your final day is this Friday the 29th your store will get your final paycheck sometime early the next week (like Monday August 1st or shortly after). The store will...

You'd think they would want another person that's knows how to answer the phone. It would be helpful in the long-run to have another person that knows how to do that. The person I was talking about told me and another person that she just actively avoid answering the phone for six months and...

This isn't Target related, but I think people will enjoy this story. I used to work at a large parking ramp (six stories high). It wasn't uncommon for people to forget where they parked and we had a golf cart to drive people around if they couldn't find their car. It happened maybe two/three...

There is a person at my store who suddenly started to get a lot fitting room/operation shifts. She showed up for her first fitting room shift just kind of assuming he would get some training (she wasn't expecting an entire shift of training, but at least something) But nope; she got nothing. She...

My university did that as well right when classes started. They used yellow school buses to pick students up outside of the dorms and student apartments although any students could use the shuttle. If my memory is correct the Target closed a bit earlier and then was open late just for the...

Thanks for the responses. I was able to use my vacation time (I didn't have any sick or personal pay). Although it was a bit of a struggle... but dealing with HR is often a struggle. But in the end I finally got them to agree to let me use my vacation for a week I was under my average. I also...
