This would be much more effective than their preferred tactic of “**** you, go get it for me or I’ll have your job.” Sir, you wouldn’t want my job, then you would have to deal with people like you.

Masterofalltrades, I kicked one out and banned him for doing that kind of thing. He came back two days later and was shocked that I enforced it. We get them all the time ‘demanding’ we pull the ones they want because they know they’re here and according to Reddit they’re already out. We put them...

What topcat said. RFID gun is a far underutilized tool in most stores. Learn it, love it. It’s a lifesaver. Especially when you get SFS orders for items still sitting in repacks that haven’t been broken out yet. Beyond that learnthe basics of how they split the brands (A New Day, Mossimo Black...

I’m kind of surprised at the difference in hot toys right now between some markets. Crate Creatures are just sitting on the shelf at my store, but hatchimals are still all the rage. Can’t get the hatchimals in stock for anything. Most days someone is waiting when I open the doors to see if any...

Anybody remember the old Target branded ones? Like the straight silver ones (that I greatly preferred), but with the Target logo. I had a ton of those in my tool box for years after I left Target the first time. Now that I’m back, of course I can’t find them any more.

My log team members lost box cutters all the time, and while it was annoying for me to constantly be reordering them, I never made a big deal out of it. If your store freaks out over a box cutter, they probably have much bigger issues because that’s silly. Honestly my only concern with a few...

Having recently transferred from a different part of the country, it’s been interesting seeing the differences in this role (and others, for that matter). Here the VM gets pulled a lot more into other work centers. That may be store specific, but in my old group there was a very clear directive...

Anathema, I totally agree with this statement. When I was in training every store I went to used this practice just to pad their BRLA%, and tried teaching me to do the same as 'best practice'.. On the reporting, my store looked like one of the worst BRLAs in the district, but once I was placed I...

The turnover and dissent comes in due to poor leadership or development of other team members, not from hiring someone who went to college. And just to clarify, when I said value I didn't mean bargain pricing of their salary, but the benefits of hiring someone with the dedication to see through...

It does seem to be very group driven how accepting they are of potential externals with no degree. Previously I had put off re-joining Target because the geographical markets interested despite my lack of a degree were not very appealing. While going through the interview process recently, the...

The idea of doing that pretty much gives me a retail eye twitch of horror. Just getting started back at Target, so haven't dealt with it here yet, but in my old role as GM at Best Buy, ship from Store was a HUGE part of the business. Only time we would substitute was if we couldn't find an open...

Redzee, good song but no for me it's a Billy Talent song reference from their first album.

Thanks for all the welcomes! HRZone, the store I am going to is a 6am process store. I will be training in one of those and I believe a 4am location as well. Kaitii, because I am a masochist. Well, that's probably why I enjoy working retail. But as for Target specifically, I know Spot's not...

Hello Everyone! I worked for Target for about four years until 2005 as a team member, specialist, and team lead. Over the past decade I've worked for a few other retailers as a specialty store manager, district manager, and most recently as a big box general manager. I've wanted to come back for...

Hello Everyone! I've been a lurker on here for years, but only posted a few times waaaay back, so this still counts as an intro. I worked for Target back in the day as a team member and team leader. It's actually where I got my start in retail before eventually moving on to store manager and...
