    Archived No ETL Support

    I want to say that the ETL sucks, but that might be his/her marching orders from high above. I've been in many a store where coupon and gift card scams are just let go due to the hassle and customer service experience.

    Archived AP, what should team members not call you about?

    Call me for the big things...unless you wanted to get coffee. I'll always go to channel 4 for coffee ;)

    Archived Lazy Team Members

    - Fitting rooms are my personal battle ground. I've had excellent fitting room attendants who walk the hallway and bang walls to make people nervous. I've also had 15 YR old teenage girls who text the entire time. At this point I've just left it alone. Target doesn't want me to do @#$* in the...

    Archived AP question...

    I handle this by walking up and asking if I can "pet the dog". Generally most people with say yes. Someone with a service dog will say yes and explain it's a service dog. If they don't say anything then I ask where the "service dog was trained". If they say "it's not a service dog" then I say...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    When I was new I asked a Cart Attendant to grab a plate of a van that was parked at the edge of the parking lot. The suspect was inside the store and knew my face so I was watching from a camera. Unfortunately the PTZ couldn't reach the vehicle and I couldn't just leave the store to grab it. I...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    I'm aware that not every Target member follows the Directives. Believe you and me, I've witnessed when things get out of hand. I work in the city, I have to get hands on. Do people bring knives, brass knuckles, .22 pistol's to the party? Yes. Does it scare me to death when I attempt a app and...

    Archived Is This Allowed @ Target?

    I love when this video re-appears on several sites. These guys are complete assholes, let me tell you the aftermath of this, since I use the video in my store as training. Don't bother with the comment section or whatever. 1) Those AP people "saw him steal a pen" and then proceeded to follow...

    Archived what's the starting pay for an etl?

    If you are anything other then LOG then its between 45k to 50k. If you are LOG then you should push for MIN that 55 to 57k mark. You will work harder then most other ETL's and your hours suck, which in turn will hurt your personal life. Therefore you best be making that moneyyyy

    Archived have a question for an Ap...

    IC will flag the transaction because it looks sketchy. But she certainly wont be fired for it. If the AP is over-zealous they will open a quick internal on her without her knowing. However, since this was a one time thing, they will drop it.

    Archived Investigations Centers--Closing

    This. Is. So. Terrible. A) For stores that are APTL only. Good @#*!ing luck catching people. When I was APTL only I used IC almost everyday. In fact, on days that I didn't need them, I would sometimes call them just to see what was up. I would even call these people on Holidays and say thank...

    Archived Becoming an AP

    If your state requires a Security Guard License then Target will send you to the 8 / 16 / 8 Hour Course(s) for free. Generally someone in the company is state certified to teach the class. Its actually great because Target will pay for that, the fingerprinting, and the fee. With that license you...

    Archived Becoming an AP

    Internal Transfers are fun and really depend on the store, AP team, APBP, ETL-HR Background Checks - Shouldn't really run another one on you. Unless your shady as hell or NOBODY knows who you are. I ran one on a possible internal transfer and found he had a few misdemeanors that were new since...

    Archived Becoming an AP

    1) You don't need a degree. It helps to have a degree to be promoted to APTL and then you it's HIGHLY suggested to have a degree as a ETL-AP. It doesn't matter what it is in though. I have a degree in teaching. I was a teacher for 4 months and absolutely hated it. At the time I was a bouncer as...

    Archived stolen walkie

    This happened to me once. I demanded that everyone switch to second frequency and then continues frequencies until the person is found. How did I find the person? I offered a reward silly! Pizza party and free Starbucks for a week for the department that found the guy who stole the radio. The...

    Archived Why don't we keep certain products behind glass?

    Its a discussion that the AP leader in your building (ETL-AP or APTL) have to have with the APBP and STL. For example, my store is in the city and we have a large amount of formula stolen, we also have a large amount of formula bought. If it was put under glass (like CVS & Walgreens) you have to...

    Archived To Ask or Not to Ask...

    You must have a very relaxed ETL-AP / APBP / Investigator if they are just letting you "ask for that item back" at the door. That by definition is accusing them of shoplifting and where I'm at, a apprehension. I know that if I was shopping at Target and I went to exit and someone asked me "for...

    Holy crap NEVER say that. I literally just cringed at that statement. I don't care if you see all five steps or the person looked at you and told you they were going to steal something, you just keep doing what you are doing. What works is awkwardly staring at them like a piece of meat. Think...

    Archived Closed a Internal Today

    Allthings ---- Our directives were $20.00 over. Some of the "middle to upper class" stores only have teenagers stealing from them. I know of a certain store in a very well to do area that primarily deals with teens taking from $25 to $45 worth of stuff. The guy there used to let is slide, but...
