So after 1 1/2 years with Target I am finally free. I'm headed to a new job in the service industry where I will be making 2 dollars more per hour, no weekends, no nights working past 7. No guests, no redcards... I only wish I'd have done this sooner!!

how could I forget one of my biggest pet peeves?? When guests stare at the credit card machine and ask "wait, how do I get credit?" Or better yet keep pressing enter and insist that is what the screen says to do. I get it that every establishment has a different card reader, but come on people...

I also finish my redcard spiel. I refuse to be interrupted. And I like the medieval spikes idea, I also want some sort of electronic device that can fry a person's cell phone and render it useless when they come through my line and are incapable of talking on the phone and swiping their card...

It would be nice to be recognized for the rest of the aspects of our jobs instead of only redcards. I can be fast, fun and friendly all day long and work my butt off for no recognition, but less motivated Suzy Q at the next register gets high fives, called out on the walkie, a free pop and the...

I love being passive aggressive with annoying, rude or presumptuous guests.

1. "Are you open?" No, I just stand at the end of the lanes with my light on because I have nothing better to do with my life. 2. Guests who hand me clothes instead of putting them on the belt. you just handed me six shirts all on the hanger because you don't want them to get dirty. what the...

That is definitely the policy in our store!! I have seen some insane returns approved by the LOD, the "guests" know all they have to do is ask for a manager and whatever policy I am trying to enforce goes out the window. I had an LOD override me on a return where the receipt was a year and a...

I wish our store was like that. I have actually been talked to because I tried to enforce the coupon policy. I was told we have to do everything to make the guest happy and a few dollars won't hurt us. I asked, what about obvious coupon scammers, you know, the ones that use coupons for wrong...

At my store the GSA overrides pretty much any coupon and tells us to just do it. we are not to flash our lights for that. We pretty much just give away the store in the name of "being bold".

My main 40 hour a week job has a set schedule which makes it easy to schedule Target around that. I only work 15 hours a week at Target so I have time to spend with my family. Some days I leave the house at 7 am and get home around 11 pm, you just get used to it after a while. If I start...

is this new this week?. otherwise this can't be true because I have been able to access it from home in the past and my last name ends with N.

I checked out the twitter postings of some of our management. Laughed out loud since they were bragging how great our H&B aisles looked with a pic attached, our store has never, ever, ever been zoned that good. It was clearly just for twitter. Kind of disgusting really that they are getting...

Yep I am also in MN. When minimum wage went to 8 bucks an hour there were a lot of unhappy team members that got bumped to match 8.00 and now made the same as new hires... my other job gave us all a small bump when minimum wage went up, and that's a much smaller company than Spot.

I had the same error today when I tried to log in at home. No idea if the store was monkeying with scheduling.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I split my time at Spot between cashier and service desk and I'm wondering- How is morale at other stores? It's so low at mine right now- the majority of our front end staff is burnt out and incredibly frustrated. Several people are actively...
