    MEGATHREAD The On-Demand Team Member (ODTM) Thread

    Still an ODTM. Haven't had a shift since Christmas Eve. Waiting for the 'sign up for a shift or we'll terminate you' email. I expected to get pulled in before Easter, as that's usually stupid busy at my store, but I've heard nothing other than we get a 2% pay bump. I'm hanging out and still...

    To That One Guest - II

    Usually it's not a question of desire, but of necessity. I was shopping once with my older son, who was maybe 4 at the time. He'd never been prone to tantrums, thank god, but this one poor woman was clearly doing Bataan Death Shopping with a screaming kid in her cart and all I could think was...

    Agreed. Get a pack of gum at SCO like a civilized person.

    Stanley stainless mugs

    That article is lacking some critical information. Did they ask the barista to hold the cups for them? Were they on shift or do anything sneaky to get them ahead of guests? I think the prohibitions against in-demand items are stupid, as long as TMs follow the same rules as everyone else--don't...

    TTOG: It is many layers of inappropriate for you, a white dude, on Christmas Eve, to hold up our clearly Muslim Somali teenage SCO TM to proselytize to her for many minutes, ending by having the nerve to 'invite' her to your Bible study with 'no pressure'. Seriously, fuck right the fuck off...

    On Demand Workers

    I don't think Target hires for ODTM. At my store, at least, you need to be an established worker first and not everyone gets approved. Most common is good high school worker goes off to college, and they want them to work breaks & summers and such when they can.

    If I sent either of my children to order anything other than a soda I would consider myself lucky if it was even in the same genre of drink. Actually, that's only the older child. Younger has a memory like a steel trap and would be fine, but he's shy and wouldn't do it anyway, so. I also...

    Is there a legit way to turn off drive up notifications if you're not in drive up? If not, there absolutely should be something, maybe by role, where you can turn them off or they're disabled by default. I'm On Demand, and I could swear the last time I worked I wasn't getting constant alerts...

    Should I say no to helping with back up and Grocery OPUs?

    Same at my store. TLs & ETLs are usually the first ones to start pulling batches, before pulling in the sales floor. Grocery used to be exempt from backing up the lanes at my store, but then hours shifted at one point so they tended to have more people on the floor than the rest of the store...

    Should I say no to helping with back up and Grocery OPUs?

    What is "F&B"? Did your TL give you any instructions on what to do next time backup was called? If your TL is worried about your area not getting tasks completed due to backing up the front end, it's on them to a) work with the other TLs to rotate backup so no area is affected more than others...

    Stores Closing, Sadly No Surprise

    This is a good read: America’s shoplifting problem, explained by retail workers and thieves - https://www.vox.com/money/23938554/shoplifting-organized-retail-crime-walmart-target-theft-laws From workers: ... ... From thieves: ... The last three paragraphs pretty much nail the whole situation.

    My last shift was in July. In the ensuing months I've had a couple short vacations, a COVID infection, kids starting school (including the oldest starting high school/sports) and I haven't had the time or energy to work a shift. Now our weeknight closing TM moved to another store and I really...

    Workers Comp after telling ER that it wasn't?

    I'm pretty sure the ER doesn't care, but your insurance would. Normally those questions show up on forms so your insurance company can decline to pay a claim or go after someone else to pay for it. If it does turn out to be a work comp injury the insurance folks can sort things out later, though...

    Is there a reason why target circle earnings can’t be redeemed for dairy products?

    For the skim milk thing, I suspect it's more about out-of-date nutritional guidelines than anything else. MN has rules about only serving fat-free or 1% milk that extend to schools and daycares and other facilities and presumably similar rules would cover SNAP, as well. When my kids were in...

    Rush to do Online Training

    Maybe it's because I'm old, but I do my trainings after my break and kinda groove on having the extra time off my feet my before going back to the floor. As an ODTM I pretty much always have at least 2 trainings in the hopper, even if it's only been a month since my last shift. I think Target...

    If they're going to do that then they really should just get rid of the ODTM position. To work 1x every pay period = normal TM on a limited schedule.

    Why are the Minute Clinics in Target shutting down?

    The clinic in my Target shut down, too, and I'm bummed. MN has rules about kids not being able to get shots from pharmacies (COVID vax was an exception), so for years the Minute Clinic was the best place for the four of us to get our flu shots at the same time (plus, $5 off coupons). Our normal...

    Which week does Back-To-School set?

    Ours is apparently starting to set next week. Or maybe the week after, but way earlier than it should be. People are all over back to college here already and school isn't even out yet for the local district.

    Why is that irritating to you? More hours for you, after all, right? Presumably the FT TM would have quit and were given the ODTM/project TM option to keep them on to do something they're willing to do that may be hard to schedule other TMs for, particularly when they need coverage for normal...

    Unless the other option is homelessness, I agree.
