    ...him, but was talking to his girlfriend while pulling stock off of one of the end caps. Someone happened along and yelled at him, get to work, *insert managers name.* I said, he is working. Other guy said, no he's not, he's talking on the phone. Who's to say you can't do both at...

    As for stings, I've personally had about 4 run on me and I passed the test everytime. Best one I've seen though, wasn't even run on me. It was in summer and I was out on the floor finishing up a truck. This girl came in, cute as hell, in short shorts and little tank top she was falling out...

    I maintain it's stupid law. If you are obviously old enough, if I personally know you, if I've check your ID in the past, etc. then I should not have to continue to check your ID. To make it even stupider and I'll say the state, I live in Tennessee. We have one set of laws for beer and...

    If you mean the LAW, as opposed to Target policy then yes, it varies greatly from state to state. I've no idea what Target corporate policy is but the laws regarding ID for age restricted products vary greatly.

    No need to be defensive at all. I was working at a convenience store when they passed the mandatory ID law here. The law was passed but it was X number of days before it went into effect. The owner of the store decided to go ahead and make it store policy and so we were carding everyone...

    I have to say, neither one of you were quite right in that one. In the state where I live, it is state law that you have to card for alcohol sales, regardless of age but that isn't the national norm. The way it used to be here was it was at the discretion of the seller and from her reaction...

    I'll repeat what I said before. Customers are morons. It doesn't justify treating your team members as inferior.

    ...in and another was a no call no show, could I come in? I said, okay, what time? I don't remember what time it was but whatever it was, I was about 15 minutes late. She then got up my *word I can't use here* about being late. I flat out told her, you should just be glad that I'm here at all.

    Archived Interview time!

    LOL. Yeah, I've seen some online applications like that myself. Not this time around, but back the last time I was looking for a job, I had a store's website tell me that I "didn't meet their criteria," without ever telling me why. I can manage a store but I didn't meet the criteria to run...

    Archived Interview time!

    I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but... I showed up for my Target interview in dark gray Dockers, an open neck dress shirt, dress shoes and I was about as polite and professional as you can possibly be. I also have years of relevant experience but they didn't hire me. I was also...

    Yeah, but I'm actually the opposite. I don't really mind working back of the house. I'm not saying it would be my first choice for a job but to me, it's not THAT bad. It's dealing with customers in food services where I end up wanting to strangle one of them. Something else that you get...

    Well, I've seen that one go both ways. Sometimes a big, beefy guy can get a point across whereas someone else couldn't. Other times though, a sweet young thang who can smile and bat her eyes is far more effective.. It just depends on who the customer is. The sweet young thang can also...

    ...after I'd washed all of the slicers, I had another customer who wanted me to slice her a single piece of bologna and a single piece of cheese. I'd rather work a customer service desk where pretty much everyone you encounter is there to *************** about something than to work a deli...

    That's why they make hand sanitizer. I've handled plenty of money over the years that came out of a bra and some that came out of even worse places. I also one had a cute little customer who had her money in her bra. When she pulled her money out, something else came out with it... She was...

    I've never worked for Starbucks but I've hated every food service job I've ever had. As annoying as customers can be in general they are ten times worse in food services. But hey, that could just be me.

    No, the last store I worked at that had structured breaks, it was a paid 15 minute somewhere around the 2 hour mark, an unpaid hour somewhere around the 5 hour mark and then another paid 15 minute 2-3 hours later. If for some reason you happened to work a double shift than there was supposed...

    LOL... Please know that I'm laughing WITH you and not at you, but I just don't put up with ************ like that. Reminded me of an incident that happened to me a couple of years ago. I was sitting behind the counter, doing paperwork and one of my clerks was on the register. She had a...

    Not really. That's coming from someone who is currently drawing unemployment. I'll admit, it's been nice to get paid to sit on my ass. Especially when I was termed for no reason and the DM told me to my face there was no reason. That said, I'm drawing about $100 per week less than I was...

    I don't doubt that you've worked hard but I'm also willing to bet you've caught some lucky breaks, been in the right place at the right time, had people above you who liked you, you've played the game in the right way, etc. Again, I'm not in anyway denigrating your accomplishment, I'm just...
