I remember last year, when we opened at eight, there was a big rush for a few hours and then it dropped off around 2 am. It was dead for the rest of the night. Opening earlier and earlier doesn't prolong the shopping frenzy ... it just happens a couple of hours earlier than it normally would.

What's the procedure for giving a notice at Target?

I hear ya. In my part of the country, if it so much as flurries, people flip their shit. Schools are cancelled/let out early, people drive like they've got their thumbs up their asses, and every supermarket is sold out of milk, bread, and beer.

That HR ETL is just the worst. I guess this is why we're not supposed to talk about how much we make ... if everyone's in the dark it's easier to lie to and exploit your employees (excuse me ... "team members").

My primary work center is cashier, but I've been working probably 50-75% of my shifts in Food Ave lately. How long do you have to work in a new work center until you get the pay raise?

Is this the time we're going to open this year?

Every so often, we have someone bring a gun into the store (concealed carry). If another guest sees it, they'll usually report it to guest service, but we can't do anything about it because it's not illegal. If they have the gun OUT or if they are acting suspiciously, then we can do something...

At my store, we can buy whatever we want on our breaks.

I am opposed to this because I am scared and intimidated by the GSA position. I do not feel comfortable doing the tasks that GSAs do and dealing with the problems that GSAs must address. I am also angry that I was not consulted before being scheduled for another position. I don't care if...

Throw me to the curb? As in fire me? For protesting unwanted shifts in a work center I'm not even trained for?

Well, I asked HR about it, and they were sort of tight lipped about why that happened (me being scheduled as GSA). I asked another Team Lead, who was surprised and concerned, and the shifts were supposed to be "fixed," but guess what? I'm still scheduled as GSA. Not happy. And of course, no...

Communication stinks in every area of the store. So does training and training hours, which is probably why no one responds to backup--they are not Starbucks certified.

I think it will be six. Belk will be opening at six this year. Our store did 8 pm last year, just like Belk.

A while back, one of the team leaders asked me if I'd be interested in moving up at Target. No specifics, just "Are you interested in moving up at Target?" I said yes, because I want money and I'm tired of working two part time jobs. Well, I didn't hear anything else about it. Fast forward...

I think if it's over 10 days then you have to take a formal leave of absence.

I think that Target has changed me for the better. Not because it's a great company or a great job, but, it has taught me (is teaching?) me humility. I have an advanced degree, yet I am having trouble finding full time work in my field in this terrible economy. Before I started working at...

Quick question about moving up to GSA from cashier: A GSA is a key carrier, and isn't there a $1 increase for key carriers? And then you would get the .50 pay increase too, right? So wouldn't it be a $1.50 salary increase?

In this day and age, it's tough to get by without internet. And even if you abstained from internet or cable of any kind, it's still pretty much impossible to support yourself on minimum wage. I paid $80 for internet when I was living in a huge, huge city, where the cost of living was...

I'm not HR, but I would say 'no.' That sounds really inappropriate. Get another TL to do the interview.

Honestly, I don't really see what the big deal is. You can easily find collared solid colored shirts at Goodwill and other thrift stores. If that's what your employer wants you to wear, then that's what you wear. It's not really asking that much, and the collar does look more professional...
