My views of AP and cops really don't match at all. I keep cops at arms length, while I would touch base with AP at least once a shift. I used to work in a liquor store in a high crime area that skimped on security. When I have security, I value it, and I was an Electronics TM at both my stores...

What the fuck. Last time I worked in Market, it took me about 25 minutes to do a fully loaded three tier, and I was an Electronics/Plano TM, not Market.

This makes me thankful that California allows 18 year olds to ring up alcohol and forbids the purchase of alcohol at self checkout.

I'm travelling to Japan in January, so ditto.

I don't know what to tell you. Somebody pointed out that section of the handbook in my last orientation and asked about wearing black pants, and HR said no, that's not acceptable, and you must wear khaki. That may be illegal, but so is half the shit my store pulls.

My store goes with "If Target gave you the shirt, you can wear it on shift any day, regardless of color". I have that shirt, and wear it all the time. Nobody cares.

Ever wear khaki pants during a heavy period?

Yea, well, California also says we can't drop pallets of merchandise in front of fire exits or stand on flat carts, but guess what we do on a daily basis? HR flat out says in orientation that no, you can't wear black pants, and unless you think the state DoL is going to waste time on this...

I've worked in multiple California stores. It's been made very clear that the handbook is irrelevant and you will wear khaki in all of them.

You know I'm a nerd, because I immediately recognized who that character is and what game series he's from.

...Aren't we supposed to print out an Online Item sticker and shove the item on a clearance endcap? Because that's what I do, and that's what everybody else I know does.

My STL outright said Electronics is to stop zoning Sporting Goods, and that while E&E needs to be zoned, it is not to be our priority, and we can focus on push and guests and backstock and let the zone slip if we have to. Every close he does, ETL GE tells Electronics to zone Sporting Goods and...

Yea, and even if they aren't doing anything, their district manager still insists they never, ever help Electronics guests, only Mobile. I'd really rather just replace them with a second redshirt who can do Mobile and everything else Electronics, but no. Instead we've gotta have one TM, even...

Is that really so weird? I do it all the time. I have a backpack with all the stuff I'm carrying, and everything I buy just goes in the backpack. I bag meat, clothes, books, and electronics together without a second thought.

He was smart enough to have someone from Market ring him up instead of doing it himself, so the leaders don't really care.
