    Archived Tell me I'm not the only one! No hours, no explanation.

    This may seem like a silly thing to say, BUT... Are those ( or some of those ) people getting the 30-40 hour work weeks ACTUALLY SCHEDULED THAT WAY,or, are they maybe picking up shifts? ( yeah. I told you it was silly. ) That said, are there any folks in any of the many depts. in which you're...

    Archived No wonder the stock is dropping, Target practices is DUMB and WASTE TIME all the time

    As I'm not too well versed in signage procedures that's another story for another time, HOWEVER... The understaffing. Yeah. In a world in which everyone would SEEM to be an informed consumer ( another story for another time ) and 98% of the population seems to have some kind of smartphone or...

    If you are interested in any kind of natural supplements, you might try Valerian root capsules, 5-HTP capsules, or good old-fashioned Chamomile Tea...there is a brand called Traditional medicinals that makes good quality organic teas, and they do one that is a Chamomile/Lavender combo ( lavender...

    As many have stated already, I agree-since you're not likely ( and not at all encouraged or recommended ) to be runnign around putting people into headlocks and all that sort of thing, if you're not exactly a body double for dwayne johnson, it's not the end of the world. it is so much more about...

    Archived Ever Have One of Those Days...

    Seems that way, doesn't it? well, the kind of psychological gymnastics that take place in that scenario are more than I can explain in my current state of undereducation and excessive inebreation but I will say that it took me MORE THAN TWO YEARS to be so-called "properly cross-trained"...

    Archived Well, didn't make it past my 90 days...

    Sorry to hear about your experience, SomewhatStarving.... Even when you come from a background of other customer service or retail type environments it can be hard to suss out what is really truly expected of you and how it is in your best interest to work, speak, behave, etc...especially when...

    Archived Someone tried to quick-change scam me today

    Keep your cool, count the change back, never agree to make change for a bunch of different bills that don't factor into the transaction equation, and... All else failing, you can always politely, discreetly, and with the ( ahem ) ultimate of guest service in mind, call for backup. Trainers...

    Red card and Check card conversion

    Yes. Just so long as everything about the application-their ID, their check or credit card, etc., was on ( pardon the the pun ) the up and up ( I couldn't help myself ), it counts, regardless of whether or not it is instantly approved or deemed in need of further review.

    I applied to target, again

    Heya, Harvest... something about your situation really got to me-maybe it's because my first ever job was as a sidewalk vendor, which was a big magnet for homeless/indigent/otherwise "unemployable' youth, or just because of a "there but for the grace of God go I" kind of thing, but here goes...

    Archived Black Friday Open Time Guessing Thread

    Sher, T-Day falls under the category of a "blackout date", as far as I am aware, as is basically the whole block of time from TDay through Christmas.... That said, I guess you COULD conceivably try to request it, though the likely reply will be that you get ignored at best, scolded, scoffed at...

    Archived Why exactly is there such a big push for red cards?

    Lol yeah as much as I love getting to ring up all the guests who already have a RedCard, aren't interested in one cos they're only buying two items for a combined total of less than $5.00 and are already late to whatever they're doing/wherever they're going, and "only" speak Brazilian...

    Archived Self-Checkout coming soon!!

    Incidentally ( and please, please, please forgive me if this has already been covered-I will admit I haven't read all through the thread as of late ), does anyone else out there have experience at Spot or otherwise with running one of these? And if you did, did you, like me, feel as if you were...

    Archived Self-Checkout coming soon!!

    OK, this will officially be my sixteenth attempt to comment on this thread since its inception ( take a hint? Oh, no thank you!!! ) You'd THINK they wouldn't be problematic.... As I have previously tried to state, they can be for near innumerable reasons. ( Said as someone who regularly ran...

    Archived What shoes do you wear to work?

    hahaha... But seriously folks.... My old go-tos were New Balance and another non-slip working shoe that I no longer can recall... Since my feet have become rather mutated over the years it's usually Brooks or bust ( sold on specialty shops for people with problem feet, or found on Zappos and...

    Archived I'm getting close to that point where I just stop caring

    Yeah, I will definitely say that I am feeling that frustration of being labeled as the chump, or the sucker, or the one who gets to do " the Charlie work ", or whatever way you want to think of it, because I actually still have whatever's left of my work ethic ( heaven knows why ) and it shows...

    Archived Someone tried to quick-change scam me today

    Yeah, definitely stay focused with the money. The real guests, your GSAs and leaders will thank you, and you'll thank yourself, for obvious reasons. As for all the, 'oh, but I have a ten/twenty/let me give you fifty cents and you give me back my fifty ( nonexistent ) dollars' scammers, the...

    Archived How many Redcards do you get in a week?

    Despite fear being a tremendous motivator, try not to let it get the best of you. Easier said than done, but try to find some way to focus on the task at hand ( i.e., redCards ) without getting too discombobulated about it; be it meditation, trying to find a different perspective, or whatever...

    Archived Aren't introverts allowed in retail? At least without suspicion?

    Indeed, a career in retail may be better suited to extroverts for a variety of reasons... That said, do you all ( or any of you ) really buy into the "Guy Smiley" thing, or do you not think it's a matter of being able to REALLY relate to people? And don't you think it's unfair that so many of...
