Hi all - my father has recently fallen extremely ill and I would like to devote my time to taking care of him and helping out the family as much as possible. Is there anyway to take an immediate leave of absence? Or will I have to fulfill the next two weeks of scheduled shifts?
I've already...
I've been at my store for nearly 8 months now as a cashier. I'm trained in Guest Service and Food Ave as well. I have helped the sales floor with zoning and re-shop before - but primarily in hardlines. Maybe ONCE that I can remember in softlines. I was given a shift in softlines seemingly out of...
I'm looking into buying a fitbit and wanted to buy one from my store if the discount applies! Is there any reason it wouldn't? Thought I would ask here before buying. thanks!
So pretty recently I've started to get migraines. I used to get them maybe once a YEAR, if that. Now, it's been three times in about a month and half. I had to call out once and leave early once. The other time was (fortunately?) a day off lol. Anyways, my GSTLs and GSAs are aware of the...
ahh, okay! I was thinking there must be a certain requirement, that's why I asked about age. It's just something I'm interested in future wise. Maybe not even necessarily at Target. Thanks for the input!
I have done that before! And helped zone certain sections as well. My GSA is actually always the one to ask me to help - and some of the leads on floor have asked him to send me before. Both of my GSTLs are kind of stretched thin/not around much and I don't think they have anything in mind for...
Today was my 90 days and during the conference I had with my GSTLs, they asked if I'd be interesting in cross training. I told them I might, and that I like hardlines (the only other area I've ever experienced besides cashiering)! I was just wondering how this whole process would go. Right now...
YES, I see these two a lot as well. Seeing people glued to their cell phones like that is truly disheartening. I'm in my early twenties, I couldn't live without my phone, I'll admit that. But even I know when it's not appropriate/polite to use! Also, number 5 will never stop blowing my mind...
THIS. I can't believe I forgot this one. It's like, you can stand ANYWHERE in the store and scan your items on cartwheel before coming to the check lines. Ridiculous.
Now that I've been a cashier for nearly 3 months, I've been noticing some irritating patterns. Some of these are enough to make me lose faith in humanity, at least during that transaction. So without further adieu, here are my biggest guest pet peeves:
The guests who stare at their phone and/or...
Ah, red cards... my eternal struggle. I've been at Target as a cashier for about 55 days now, and I've gotten four red cards. For a while there I wasn't getting any. (And I hate to admit it but three of those four asked ME before I even got the chance to give my little speech- I was so thrown...
Oh wow! Do all cashiers get shifts like this once in a while? Sounds manageable but seems like it's coming out of nowhere as I've never even helped out guests/other team members with self checkout. I guess I'll see how it goes! Thank you SO much for the info!!
We got our schedules for the week of the 30th today. On one of my shifts, the time is listed, the position (cashier), and then it says SCO. Does anyone have any clue what this means?
