    Archived Cafe/FA TMs: Not getting shipments of stuff lately?

    Are y'all not getting your ordered shipments of things a lot lately in Cafe/FA? We went without med/small drink lids for about 3 weeks, then medium cups for like 2 weeks, haven't gotten buffalo chicken pretzel sandwiches for about 3 weeks, couldn't get regular creamers for 2 weeks, etc. I know...

    She forgot her nametag one too many times.

    Archived Nobody listens

    I'm sorry, but I feel like the whole time you've been on this board you've had nothing but complaints about how much you hate your job, how much Target has screwed you over AS A TEMP, etc. I'm a single mom and they make me miss my kids' bedtime and I have to pay overtime to my babysitters on a...

    Archived So ellen went to a target.

    Ya know, I love Ellen with a passion, but this would make me bang my head against the wall if it was my store. All that re-shop from "bring me this item" stuff, all those fights among guests for stuff like that Elsa doll, and who gets to get in line first......yikes. Imma watch Ellen a little...

    Archived Reach-In Cooler Trouble

    "I really don't think this is an issue, get with management". <------every manager/"superior" ever. If you have a way to finagle a workaround until a superior complains about it and you can prove it fixes the problem, you'll find your part number ASAP. If not, then whatevs. Document it via...

    Archived No food Christmas Eveww

    Pizza. Cold and picked-over, but feeling better than those who didn't get anything. ;) Vodka after work makes it all better. :D

    The Things Guests Do/Pet Peeves Thread

    My peeve: guests at the cafe who refuse to step in front of the register, but instead stand 5 feet down the counter, speak as softly as possible (then get pissed off when you have to say "I'm sorry?" 10 times over the din of all the motors running), and then hand their handful of change over the...

    Archived Are there cameras on your Food Ave?

    LOL, been trying to look inconspicuously since I saw this post, and I think that tiny little corner that's broken off one of the ceiling tiles is our covert camera. I get it, I really do, but man.......nothing like some covert cameras to tell you "you're just another commodity" as an employee...

    Archived getting a CA

    So what do you do if you work at 7:30 AM (before opening) and wake up sick at 5:00 AM-----enough time for the "two-hour notice" window, but no one is there to answer the phone? I've been wondering this myself.

    Archived Are you working Christmas Eve?

    Closing. I don't have my kids this year on Xmas eve though, so no worries, gives me something to do. :/

    I'm Lost! The Target Dating Thread

    Ugh, tell me about it, so many lezzies in my store and the only one I'm crushing on is AP (and I'm a TM). Sigh. Such is life. Even for 30somethings. :/

    Archived Score System?

    Hey, I'm cafe, so I have no clue how the system works, lol. Just sayin, on general principle, it seems better than the willy-nilly "yearly reviews" I've seen everywhere else that have nothing to do with cold hard numbers and facts. In my section of the store, I get to flirt with the copious...

    Archived Anyone deal with this?

    I think Target promotes micromanagers as policy. I work in the damn cafe, and my TL was like this----"take your apron off before your break" as I'm already untying the strings, "wash your hands first" as they're already being soaped up, "drop that popcorn" as I'm already banging the kettle...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    Old dude guest came to the cafe counter today and paid for his meal with cash, fumbling through his wallet for ones and a $100 slipped out, but he caught it. Got his food, went to the table to eat. TM was behind him in line, looks down at the chips and produces a $100 bill and says "this was...

    Archived Score System?

    Look at it this way: if you do something, you get credit for it, and the more you do the better your score. At least it's not the usual system of seniority and buddy-buddy crap. I've never worked a job where at least one coworker got to slack off and still get patted on the head simply because...

    9 days in a row w/ no day off?

    I did volunteer to cover the shifts of my TL this week, so this week wasn't a surprise, I just thought maybe someone would go "oh, hey, she's working 7 days this week, maybe she should get a day off after that." LOL, nope! It's all good, I'll take the money, I just didn't want to arrange the...

    9 days in a row w/ no day off?

    Is there any sort of policy on how many days in a row a TM can work without getting a day off? I'm working Sun-Sat this week, then my new schedule says I work the following Sun and Mon as well. I got the 7 days this week because I'm covering all the shifts of my TL, but next week is "back to...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    HA! Remember the crusty old lady TL that trained me and left the sink running and I had to clean it up? Well, it looks like she either got fired or suspended for a while. Last night, I trained closing the cafe with another girl who's been there a few years, after training closing the night...

    Archived Target's Website Crashes on Cyber Monday.

    Back in the day, I was studying to do IT/networking, and also ran a few small websites. It's not rocket science to anticipate server load and farm it out to an off-site company if needed. I imagine the IT people are feeling the burn far more than all TMs combined today; a lot of them likely...

    Archived What do you eat at work?

    A bite of hot dog after checking its temp and QMOSing it every two hours as required. :/ 50% of my daily value of sodium in every bite! :D
