    Hiring standards stricter now?

    I was a longtime TM, I reapplied (not to the store where I used to work) for a seasonal position at one store and a permanent position at another. And rejection. I was at Spot for a number of years. I left my store on good terms less than a year ago. What happened? Did their hiring standards...

    Archived Is it bad if I call out during my last two weeks (to use up my sick leave)?

    I’m thinking about calling out today (second to last shift before I go 👋) so I can use up my remaining sick hours. Will this negatively affect me?

    Archived Got offered a full-time job for the summer; how should I make my availability?

    I’ve just returned from LOA and I’ve just come back to work at Target. I’m a front end TM. My second job where I worked last summer hired me back for the summer full-time (40 hours/week) with the possibility of continued employment depending on my life plans. When I worked there last summer I...

    Archived Call out this Christmas Eve.

    Contemplating whether or not to call out so you can spend time with your family tonight for Christmas Eve? Then do it. Family is not forever, as I learned the hard way. Even a year later I am still angry with myself for not having the balls to call out last Christmas Eve. And I missed out on...

    Archived What does it take for a store to close permanently?

    I feel like my store is a sinking ship and that everything is falling apart. And our sales aren’t enough for any of our problems to be fixed in any meaningful way or for our store to receive any improvement. I don’t want to go into too many details about our situation to not give away my store...

    Archived Cashiers: Do you fold clothes at the register?

    Do any of you as cashiers typically fold clothes for guests at the register when bagging them? I don't, and some guests complain. One time I even told one guest that we're not Nordstrom.

    Yesterday I made my intentions official and I filled out the form to take an Educational LOA. I'm headed to a Western European country in just a few weeks' time to participate in an English-language and culture teaching assistant program sponsored by the country's government. My last day is...

    Archived Is there a "class divide" at your store?

    Everyone at my store gets along well with each other, but I notice that there are definitely two groups of people working at our store: the "haves" and the "have-nots." Haves: Usually full-time students, all under 30 - if not, they are not far removed from their student days; Live at home with...

    Archived LOA for Personal Travel?

    My family traditionally takes a vacation during a certain week in the summer (timeshare). This year, I am traveling overseas by myself for 12 days the week after that. Would I be able to ask for an LOA for extended personal travel (I would be gone for a total of three weeks)?

    Archived I called out on Christmas Eve.

    Because Family > Target. First time in my two-year Target career. Scheduled as cashier 3:30-10:30; found no one who could cover me. The lines may be a little longer with one less cashier, but frankly I have no sympathy for those procrastinators who waited until today to shop. Nothing...

    Archived Welfare abuser stories?

    Last night I had a guest complain about her two baking sodas ($0.82 each) not being covered by her SNAP card. She said that she "shouldn't have to pay for them," and that "every other store takes my food stamps." GSA denied the override and she left the baking sodas. Now this would not be so...

    Archived Any other store prompting ID for ice?

    My store is prompting ID for ice now. And I found out today it's not a system glitch. Apparently the kids are now rubbing salt on ice and it causes injuries. *facepalm* how do I explain this to guests with a straight face?

    Archived Applying to salaried position at District Office - Procedure if a TM?

    I found a listing that I *presume* is at our District Office (I know the office is located in that city); salaried, full-time, benefits, etc. As a TM, would the procedure to apply for an "exempt" salaried job within Target be the same as if I were to transfer to another hourly position at...

    Archived Activists push for $15 minimum wage in Los Angeles

    Wonder how Spot would react if this comes to fruition - I know I would attempt to transfer if the position was worth the commute! There are three CityTargets in the city of LA that have only opened in the last couple years, and a myriad of regular stores in the Valley and one near South...

    Archived STL at...25?!? (rant)

    An acquaintance of mine has recently become a life coach and posts Youtube videos intended to motivate people. In this latest one, he interviewed his brother who is an STL. I watched it with interest, but my emotion turned when the brother said that he was promoted to STL...AT AGE 25...

    Archived Drug Test Questions

    I referred a friend of mine to apply for Target. He applied Sunday, I notified the ETL-HR yesterday, and he was called today for an interview. I forgot to mention one little detail to him - the mandatory drug test. He is a "work hard play hard" guy and he smokes marijuana recreationally and may...

    Archived Crosstraining into HR?

    I'm interested in crosstraining into HR. I'm interested in the field as a career and I want to take advantage of a possible opportunity while I work for Spot. It seems farfetched at first, but I have some related work experience, have graduated from college, and a couple regular TMs at my store...
