    MEGATHREAD Target Talk (Definitions)

    Technically, Food Ave is an outdated term, and it's officially Target Cafe. However, kinda like Dollar Spot or Red/Green/Blue World (in older stores), it is still used very much in an unofficial capacity.

    Archived New loyalty program test called "Target Red"

    I had a guest try it last week, and it did work. Maybe the caveat is that it'll only pull up purchases made with Target Wallet, and not the physical REDcard (although the physical REDcard will pull up Target Wallet purchases).

    Archived Rest Breaks

    Seriously, I used to work at a union supermarket and we got a paid 15 per four hours worked (plus a 30 minute meal every 6 hours). We also had to clock out for our 15s, and they docked us for any extra time we took. Oh, and they also loved scheduling people for shifts that were 8 hours and 15...

    Archived Can they "force" you to stay past close/scheduled shift time?

    My store never makes anyone stay past schedule, though there are a lot of us that will (myself included). My personal policy is that, generally, I will stay late if I can. And I usually can stay late. This way, I can save my nos for the days where I actually have somewhere to be, or the days...

    Archived The 20%/$20 Rule

    Rules on price changes depend on the store, but anything under $5 is almost always okay. My store tells us up to $20 if it sounds reasonable, and my personal cutoff is around 20% (with more leeway if the item is inexpensive). It's case by case, of course. In your case, I'd do it without...

    Archived Schedule Question

    Being on the schedule for an 11 hour shift is definitely unusual unless you're agreeing to come early/stay late or you pick up a shift. Technically, you're not really supposed to be scheduled for more than 8 hours plus a meal, but my store has been known to schedule TMs for as many as 10 hours...

    Archived Sooo many questions

    1. This depends on the store. At my store, they have a list of sales floor team members by the timeclock with assigned areas. Otherwise, go to your team leader. 2. Typically, being assigned to an area means you're zoning (tidying up, making sure items are in the right spot) and helping guests on...

    Archived GSA gave discount card to friend

    Assuming your leaders are somewhat professional (most are), and you trust that you will remain anonymous, your best course of action is to bring it to the attention of your ETL-GE, ETL-HR, or ETL-AP (and make note of the approximate transaction time). If you're worried about your anonymity being...

    Archived Forgot To Punch Out

    This isn't usually a big deal. If you forgot to punch out on Sunday, be sure to fix it next time you go in. If it happened before then, you may have to go in ASAP if you want to be paid for that shift on the current paycheck; otherwise, you may receive pay for that shift on the next paycheck...

    Archived Stupid things people have been fired for at your store?

    It seems a bit off to me too. I would think that there had to be something else at play for that to lead to a term, even if they were looking to get rid of him.

    Archived Stupid things people have been fired for at your store?

    99% of the guests I encounter don't give a damn that I'm carding them. We're far from the only ones carding everyone.

    Archived Stupid things people have been fired for at your store?

    I literally card everyone for age-restricted items, and the rest of my team pretty much does the same to my knowledge. The way I see it, it’s not worth risking any kind of disciplinary action over something that doesn’t benefit me in any way. 99% of guests do not care in the slightest about...

    Archived Paging using a phone other than the fitting room

    Looking back at your post history, I can say that we don't work in the same store unless you transferred to a store in a different area.

    Archived Do You Use Your Phone at Work?

    I'll use my phone on the sales floor as a work tool, but I'll rarely use it for anything else. I'll occasionally send a text if it's slow, and maybe a Snapchat if I see a good opportunity. Other than that, it stays in my pocket, the bathroom, or the breakroom. My store doesn't really care...

    Archived Paging using a phone other than the fitting room

    We have a microphone in TSC, and our store is only 4 years old.

    Archived Deauthorizing Team Members

    It seems to be happening to me every 90 days. I've always assumed it was a way of culling inactive TMs who aren't keyed as such.

    Archived Can people get fired (after 90 days) for poor work ethic?

    I agree with you- cutting hours is definitely poor practice in most cases. However, it can be an easier and quicker fix than trying to term them if coaching clearly isn't working. I only really object to it if it's done without coaching them.

    Archived calling in sick within first 90 days?

    For the sake of your store, your team, your guests, and yourself: call out. You're sick, and you are in no condition to be serving food. Your leaders will understand, and it's likely that someone will be happy to cover your shift and take the extra hours. I understand your concern about being...

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    This is basically how I do it, and I have the most RedCards for the year at my store (although the #2 gets them at a higher rate than I do). At my store, that means getting 3-5 in a good day, 10 or so in a good week (our weekly goal is around 60).
