    Archived No ETL Support

    I want to say that the ETL sucks, but that might be his/her marching orders from high above. I've been in many a store where coupon and gift card scams are just let go due to the hassle and customer service experience.

    Archived AP, what should team members not call you about?

    Call me for the big things...unless you wanted to get coffee. I'll always go to channel 4 for coffee ;)

    Archived Lazy Team Members

    ...nervous. I've also had 15 YR old teenage girls who text the entire time. At this point I've just left it alone. Target doesn't want me to do @#$* in the fitting rooms, so I don't. The most I do now is I'll stand by there to deter people. - Like Retail Girl, I have my team accept coupons that...

    Archived AP question...

    I handle this by walking up and asking if I can "pet the dog". Generally most people with say yes. Someone with a service dog will say yes and explain it's a service dog. If they don't say anything then I ask where the "service dog was trained". If they say "it's not a service dog" then I say...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    When I was new I asked a Cart Attendant to grab a plate of a van that was parked at the edge of the parking lot. The suspect was inside the store and knew my face so I was watching from a camera. Unfortunately the PTZ couldn't reach the vehicle and I couldn't just leave the store to grab it. I...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    ...Each Store, District, Region is going to be different. I can only hope that the AP I work work with on a day to day basis will keep a level head. *** As far as the Mr. Gentles story. My heart does go out to the family. However, I am not fully versed in what happened. Was the AP office in...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    ...Target will ALWAYS announce themselves and if there is a weapon present, back down to avoid any injuries to themselves or other people. 3) They @#$*ing tackled that guy to the ground and handcuffed him. Then they beat him. ..... Target wouldn't do that...nor should any store. @#$*ing Police...

    Archived what's the starting pay for an etl?

    If you are anything other then LOG then its between 45k to 50k. If you are LOG then you should push for MIN that 55 to 57k mark. You will work harder then most other ETL's and your hours suck, which in turn will hurt your personal life. Therefore you best be making that moneyyyy

    Archived have a question for an Ap...

    IC will flag the transaction because it looks sketchy. But she certainly wont be fired for it. If the AP is over-zealous they will open a quick internal on her without her knowing. However, since this was a one time thing, they will drop it.

    Archived Investigations Centers--Closing

    This. Is. So. Terrible. A) For stores that are APTL only. Good @#*!ing luck catching people. When I was APTL only I used IC almost everyday. In fact, on days that I didn't need them, I would sometimes call them just to see what was up. I would even call these people on Holidays and say thank...

    Archived Becoming an AP

    If your state requires a Security Guard License then Target will send you to the 8 / 16 / 8 Hour Course(s) for free. Generally someone in the company is state certified to teach the class. Its actually great because Target will pay for that, the fingerprinting, and the fee. With that license you...

    ...for me to veto him. Drug Test - Target can't MAKE you take another one unless there is a accident or enough proof (showing up late, lazy as @#$* etc..). I know plenty of AP guys who smoked a little pot on the side but for the most part I find that AP members are usually straight. Especially...

    Archived Becoming an AP

    1) You don't need a degree. It helps to have a degree to be promoted to APTL and then you it's HIGHLY suggested to have a degree as a ETL-AP. It doesn't matter what it is in though. I have a degree in teaching. I was a teacher for 4 months and absolutely hated it. At the time I was a bouncer as...

    Archived stolen walkie

    This happened to me once. I demanded that everyone switch to second frequency and then continues frequencies until the person is found. How did I find the person? I offered a reward silly! Pizza party and free Starbucks for a week for the department that found the guy who stole the radio. The...

    ...my licks and move on. I'd rather lock everything down and hear a call button every 5 minutes then watch stuff walk out the door on my day off. *** Yes, you can remove spider-wraps because TM's don't tighten them enough / other illegal ways. However, if there is spider-wrap on it, there is a...

    Archived To Ask or Not to Ask...

    You must have a very relaxed ETL-AP / APBP / Investigator if they are just letting you "ask for that item back" at the door. That by definition is accusing them of shoplifting and where I'm at, a apprehension. I know that if I was shopping at Target and I went to exit and someone asked me "for...

    Archived Closed a Internal Today

    Allthings ---- Our directives were $20.00 over. Some of the "middle to upper class" stores only have teenagers stealing from them. I know of a certain store in a very well to do area that primarily deals with teens taking from $25 to $45 worth of stuff. The guy there used to let is slide, but...
