    Archived Calling Integrity Hotline

    If a store gets 2 or more hotline calls in a year, your HR and STL are put under a microscope for awhile. Expect more visits than usual from District level and higher people if this happens. Yes, they take these calls seriously.

    Archived So target is so hardup for new hires that they give refferal bonuses now

    My last job offered 500 bucks if a referral stayed 6 months. It is a common tactic in the business world.

    Archived Anyone have a Weights and Measure's visit?

    As long as pricing and presentation have been doing a good job, you should not have any problems.

    Archived No more Michael Graves

    All good partnerships eventually come to an end. With all the other big names jumping in with Target the last couple years it will not be too hard to find someone else with some cool designs to fill the void.

    Archived Would you leave Target for a totally different job if.....

    Would you be happy? That is the big question. If you are happy with what you do, then who gives a rip what others think? I work retail and actually enjoy it more days than not. That is a win for me. Past jobs I have had made more money, but I was miserable every single day. It is...

    Archived Does anyone think Target is a big high school?

    Considering most of the night shift are teenagers it would not be much of a stretch. So glad I work dayside. The crew tends to be older and more mature about life in general.

    Archived No more calling no-shows at my store

    It is in the best practice manual not to call. It is there to avoid favoritism and such. If you call one and do not call the other and they get fired, they can make a case against Target.

    Archived Target's Anti Union Video

    I was a union member and actually an officer of the local lodge for over 12 years at my last job. Be glad there are no unions at Target. All a union would do is put a barrier between you and your supervisors much worse than anything you can imagine. Trust me on this one- Unions in a retail...

    Archived smoking a E-cigarette on the floor?

    The e-cigs do not emit smoke so technically he is not "smoking". I use nasal snuff personally. No smoke, no spit, no smell, and in the 500 years that nasal snuff has been in use there has never been a documented case of cancer attributed to the use of nasal snuff. I can snuff a little in...

    Archived question re coupon policy

    Target gets paid the full amount on the coupon plus a small handling fee. Read the fine print on the coupon and it will spell it out. So by giving the overage toward the rest of the purchase, Target is not taking a loss. They will get their money back, no worries. Coupons are becoming...

    Archived Hot

    Leap pads, Figits, and Loopsies are big this year. Kindles, Xbox, and Ipads are popular for the bigger kids. We had a couple guys come in and buy all our leap pads before Thanksgiving. On the way out they were bragging about selling them for double or triple the price on Ebay.

    Archived The best shoes for working retail

    Merrels are excellent shoes. Been wearing them for years. All my jobs have been long hours on my feet on hard floors and these shoes make it easy. One pair lasts me nearly a year before they start to wear out. A bit spendy, but the length of time they last makes them worth it.

    Archived Bullseye Bodega

    The sales planner I saw was the pretty much the same as the great save. They just changed the name is all. Maybe a few new items in there, but lots of bulk stuff.

    Archived Going out with class - Quitting Target in style

    That STL should have had some calls to the Integrity Hotline made about him and then the TM should have called a lawyer. The STL was way out of line and should have been made to answer for his comments.

    Archived How do you know if you are getting coached?

    Coaching only matters if it is documented. I have a problem child on my team who was transferred to me with no write ups at all. No one bothered to tell me they were a problem case till it was too late, and then when the truth came out and I went to see how many coachings the TM had on file I...

    Archived Black Friday was a "bust" at my store so far...

    Ditto here. Super crazy till 4am and then dead. Doubt Target will do the midnight opening again. The hours spent to staff an empty store for 5 hours are simply not worth it.

    Archived Entire flow/backroom team protesting outside our store!

    Someone needs to call the Integrity Hotline about this. They start getting multiple calls and someone higher up will start to ask some uncomfortable questions to the STL and ETL-LOG. Not sure what district you are in, but my DTL would never tolerate such behavior from their leadership.

    Archived Do you use reusable shopping bags?

    Multiply that nickle be a couple hundred trips to the store every year and it adds up. Same mentality with coupons. Save a little here and there and it gets to be a rather large amount over the course of a year. My wife has become quite the expert at coupons and can routinely save 75-90% on...
