    We Went Viral on Facebook in a Bad Way 😢

    Someone posted this on FB a few days ago. I heard it was seen by corporate. So sad. We all had to spend two hours zoning "Style" yesterday morning...

    Open Market

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. See my post in the Happy Trails section. I'm retiring.

    Open Market

    You know, the past 4 or 5 years, my job at Spot has been a challenge. But, I do everything I can to make my area look good with fresh food and a nice presentation. Today was no different. A few holes, but it looks great...

    No bikes built for over a year at my store.

    These comments are so sad to read. The bike issue is a microcosm of everything else wrong in the stores. I can't believe how bad this once proud company has gone downhill over the past few years. You can't just blame it on covid, either. I'm sure there are good stores out there, but they seem...

    No bikes built for over a year at my store.

    You know, I only post once a year to announce my annual anniversary at Spot. As I posted in December, I just passed my 23rd year. But I need to get this off my chest... We have not sold a bike at my store for over a year. Our bike wall has been empty, gathering dust, trash and debris over that...

    One more year?

    I see you're still around too, redeye. I'm hanging by a thread. New team lead starts on Sunday. I cant count how many I've had in 23 years. Three leads this year alone in my area.

    One more year?

    The biggest changes that I have seen from 1999 to 2022... 1). Online ordering & Fullfillment teams. 2). Eliminating the "closed" Backroom & Backroom team. 3). The unload process and pushing freight off of Uboats all day long. ...among numerous other changes. My biggest complaint would be...

    One more year?

    Hi everyone. It's my annual post announcing my Target anniversary. On Tuesday, December 27th, I turn 23 in Spot years. Started working as a team lead back in the last millennium...December 27, 1999. I stepped down a few years ago and have been working in Open Market most recently. I've seen...

    22 years and still breathing

    Right now, I'm staying for the medical and life insurance, mainly. Although I have Medicare, it's still cheaper working to keep medical insurance on my family right now. I got my $518 monthly Target pension in July, right after I turned 65. I get it the rest of my life. I bought a new car and...

    I see I still have a few 'fans' left. 😉

    22 years and still breathing

    I was a team leader for 11 years. Stepped down 11 years ago and have worked in the food area for 8 years. I like working in Open Market. I have some autonomy and no one else can do my job (at least as well as me, IMO, of course.) Retirement is a possibility next year, we'll see.

    22 years and still breathing

    I'll pass my 22nd year at Spot at the end of the month. Still averaging 40 hours a week. How long can I go?

    20 Years Down, ?? More To Go

    I doubt it, but I'll keep trying.

    20 Years Down, ?? More To Go

    Just passed my 20 years with Spot. Still averaging 40 hours a week(that's with vacation hours added sometimes) as a F&B TM. I work in Open Market (formerly called pfresh). My new SD said she couldn't guarantee 30 hours a week this year, but I don't see how they can do without this 'legend.' 😁😁😁

    Archived I'm still at Spot after 19 years.

    Hey everyone. This is my first post in a long time, but I'm still hanging on getting 35-40 hours a week in Market. My store just went thru an STL change. So far, NO good. The store is a big mess on the floor and in the backroom. No one zones at night anymore. Just had a software update...no...

    Archived National Falls Sale Meeting

    My STL has a 'love child' from one of these meetings. Happened about eight years ago.

    Archived Goodbye Dollar Spot!

    I'm glad it's going. I agree with our CEO. Before the data breach and the Canadian fiasco, Target would spend millions of dollars on 'hip' advertising to get people into the stores. What's the first thing they saw when walking into the store? A big mess of cheap merchandise that never looked...

    Archived 2015 Best Team Survey

    Well at least the survey did something at your store. Our STL has been here for 14 years. No one likes him including the ETLs, but he's hung on here. I think it's because we are an outlying store 120 miles from the district office and 80 miles from the closest Target store. I don't think they...
