    I'm Lost! The Call In/Sick/Late/NCNS/Attendance Thread

    Just make sure it doesn't happen again, and it will blow over. I think they used to call, but for some reason, most stores just stopped over the last couple years or so. For that reason, I check and recheck the schedule obsessively.

    Archived Excuse me, do you work here?

    Last week, I was doing a little shopping before clocking in, and as I was walking with my arms full, I heard someone calling from behind me, "Excuse me. Excuse me! EXCUSE ME!" I just kept on walking without turning at all, and I'll be perfectly honest, it felt phenomenal.

    Archived Saving your AAR in face of the dreaded gift card

    Truth be told, I'd rather follow idiotic corporate policies and sales that tank metrics than use workarounds that make it look like said idiotic corporate policies and sales are working. But then again, the amount I care about AAR is pretty non-existent, seeing as it is a heavily flawed metric.

    Archived Phone Shopping

    I had a guest call and ask what TVs we had on sale. When I tried to get some general details to narrow down the search (size, LCD/LED, etc.), he didn't know and asked me to go through all of them.

    Archived Disgruntled Employee

    fyi, I found out from a TL that per some policy, hours for now are currently being prioritized for TLs. This means a smaller pool of hours that can be distributed to TMs. So to OP, it's not surprising that you would be getting fewer hours despite being a top performer. There is just simply...

    Archived KrebsOnSecurity Breaks Story on Target Data Breach

    This is why there's no reason to freak out and cancel accounts (Red card or otherwise). Just monitor accounts and billing statements. Get issued new cards with new numbers. Problem solved. You'd think no one ever lost their card before.

    Archived Rest periods between shifts?

    A small handful of times, HR goofed and scheduled me for closing on Saturday, ending at 11 to 11:30, and early morning signing on Sunday, starting at 3 - 4. When I noticed ahead of time, I notified an ETL and got the schedule changed, which is an option you could try. They might take pity if...

    Archived question about salvage

    This is a bad idea because ringing up an item for $0.00 is specifically mentioned in the handbook as something to never ever do. So if some poor new cashier actually did what you were hoping and gave it to the guest for free, they'd likely get into trouble. On the other hand, ETLs and TLs...

    Archived Prepaid target visa gift card

    She needs to register the card first for it to work online so that a name and billing address can be associated with the card. Found the info on the visa site here: http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepaid/gift_card_how.html.

    Archived Schedule issue.

    Was your availability properly set as Unavailable for that time? Check on that so you don't have this same conversation later down the road. If it was, stress to HR and the LOD that you were scheduled outside of your set availability and that you absolutely cannot work at that time. That way...

    Archived How should I word my letter of resignation?

    Any requests for time off during the blackout periods are automatically denied regardless of how much advanced notice you give. You should talk to your ETL about your reason for needing that time off and see if they will work with you. Failing that, you can try to get other team members to...

    Archived Lay's Wavy Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate - Target Exclusive

    I just tried some, and you really don't get much saltiness unless your tongue happens to hit the exposed part of the chip. Otherwise, it's pretty much like a somewhat thick one-layer KitKat. As a whole though, these are pretty terrible because each small 5 oz. bag has 800 calories, 22.5g of...

    Archived Interview - birthday cake question

    So...just to be clear, the answer is neither to bring them to the condom aisle or "in my pants?"

    Archived Hours / Availability

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this: 1) you've been at Target less than 90 days and are already trying to change your availability; 2) you don't really have a good reason for changing your availability (conflicting school, work, etc.); 3) you think despite 1) and 2) that the situation is...

    Archived Medical Marijuana Card

    I'm curious if the situation/outcome would be the same if the OP was on say a regulated prescription pain medication that would also show up as positive on a drug screening.

    Archived "I have a chemistry degree and I'm working retail hahahaha"

    You may or may not be justified in your opinions of said ETL, depending on how she works, but I tend to refrain from thoughts like that because you never really know the story until you know the story. My dad has a Ph.D in Chemistry and has worked as a general contractor. I have a bachelor's...

    Archived Electronics AAR - is there a list of qualifying attachments?

    Actually, we were told earlier this year that any qualifying attachment counts toward the overall AAR as long as a major electronic item was on the same transaction. After that change, my store's AAR skyrocketed. If it was since changed though, that might explain why our AAR has been...

    Archived Silly Coupon Question.

    I've always scanned the coupons at the very end; however, now that I think about it, if you can manage it, it might be better to take a look at the coupons first and scan the relevant coupon immediately after the product. The reason being that there will be times that the system will dispute...

    Archived Tips on getting more attachments?

    We were told that anything that could be considered an electronics attachment would count toward the attachment rate as long as any major electronic item was on the same purchase. Knowing that, what helped me was to observe if the guests had any additional electronics items that I could ring...
