    Thanks for the responses, everyone! I'm indeed a backroom TM, btw.

    Archived Listening to music?

    When you're a closer; is it ok to listen to music? I'm sure it's not specifically allowed, but would it be such a bad thing to listen to some tunes to help me get thru the night? Thanks!

    Archived Is this common for Target?

    Ever since I began at Target, TM's in my position have called out numerous times. Sometimes they don't even give notice, they just simply don't show up. It's usually the same people, too. Some who have been there for a while, some brand new. My problem with this: I either end up working by...

    Archived Backroom tips needed: The Big Bad Balers

    I've been at Target for almost four months. In that time, I've only made 3 bales. Two of those bales consisted of me just helping another TM, the other was completely by myself. When I can, I avoid making a bale like the plague. My biggest problem is tying the metal strings that go around...

    Archived How can I make the time go by faster?

    At my store the closer usually deals with setting the line, backstock, price changes, POGs, salesfloor item requests, general cleaning and getting rid of the carboard mountains by the balers. It sounds like a bunch of time consuming tasks, but it just gets so overwhelming for one person to...

    Archived How can I make the time go by faster?

    That's the thing, morning side usually gets most of the backstock done, then during the hourly calfs dayside completes the rest of the backstock and any other backstock that comes in from the calfs.

    Archived How can I make the time go by faster?

    I feel as if I'm the Backroom Team Member that is Scheduled to close (typically till 9:30) the most. I can't express how much I hate it. The sad thing is, due to the cut of hours, the typical closing shift is usually only around 5 hours. But it drags by mind-numbingly slow. It doesn't help...

    Archived something seems a bit fishy about my store

    I still have no idea, @FlowChick. They literally vanished, and Target erased every trace of that TM.

    Archived something seems a bit fishy about my store

    I show up for work, and it's just like every other day. A couple hours later, a fellow TM tells me it's time to go on their break. Seams normal enough, but it began to get weird because they were gone for almost two hours or so and meals are only 30 minutes. Since this was like any normal day...

    Archived bullseye's playground

    I seen advertisements for it at my store, and it had me curious. I tried it out tonight, the games are fun little time wasters. But what I really liked about it is the concept of finding codes scattered around Target locations to unlock items in-game. :)

    Archived Do you use Target Ticket?

    When I started working at Target, they really pushed the Target apps on me (especially cartwheel)...but not Target Ticket. I stumbled upon Target Ticket when I went to download cartwheel. It seems like a cool app, but I can't see myself paying full price just for a digital copy of a movie that...

    Archived How do you successfully pull an item from the backroom?

    Thanks for the speedy replies! Every time I go to SUBT, put in the item code, then tap enter it takes me back to the home screen. Is that because I'm not putting 49 first?

    Archived How do you successfully pull an item from the backroom?

    So, I was never fully taught how to find an item/pull an item for a TM to give to a guest. Usually, a TM on the salesfloor calls over the walkie, on channel two, asking if someone in the backroom can pull an item for a costumer. I wanna reply, but as I said, I was never shown how to do it...

    Archived I know it's retail... but come on!

    What is it with guests being so dang rude and impatient? A guest walked up with her husband and teenage daughter. She asked if I knew where an item was. Pretty normal, eh? Well the item was something totally out of the ordinary, so I had no idea where it could be. I pull out my walkie and...

    Archived How is this training? What do I do on my first offical day of work?

    Good news, everyone!! A very kind TM decided to come in earlier than his scheduled shift to properly train and help me for the day. And everybody here was right, everyone in the backroom pitched in to help me. I'm so grateful for the people I've met thus far!

    Archived Is there a way of finding my TM number online?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Not knowing my number and the lack of training in my position is really pulling me under. And I've only been there for a short time. I have to be in at 6:30am, and have over a 20 minute drive. When I get there, I'm gonna have to find someone to help me get my...

    Archived How is this training? What do I do on my first offical day of work?

    Thanks for the reply! I'm actually working the backroom position. Everything just seems too overwhelming with the little help I've had so far. Especially when this is my first retail job.

    Archived How is this training? What do I do on my first offical day of work?

    I suppose my training was only two days long... the first day being cashier training, and the second day being... well let's just say a lot more talking than actually doing. On my two week schedule they gave me, it had only two days of training listed. The cashier training was very hands on...

    Archived Is there a way of finding my TM number online?

    Asking HR would be all fine and dandy, but the thing is, the three days I've been there (counting orientation) I've already asked, and they wrote it on a tiny piece of loose leaf paper...and of course I misplaced it. Kill me now! :oops:

    Archived Is there a way of finding my TM number online?

    As my username states, I'm a noob when it comes to working at Target. I've been working there for a whopping two days. I absolutely love the people I've met and the store in general, but... Today was my second day of training, and I can't remember my Team Member Number for the life of me! Is...
