I wouldn't announce he redcard until the guest left the building. I would walk up and down the lanes reminding cashiers to ask for redcards. I also asked them to ring faster because I hated calling for backups. I also taught them all the sign for red. So I didn't have to say it out loud when a...

No. I was telling you what I do and say. No job is so important to me that I have to mold to what someone wants me to say. I have walked away from jobs for things that irk me, but I'm not looking at start of a career. Oh wait, I have always walked away from jobs when I have felt irked.

Whenever I interview and an interviewer asks if I have any questions. I usually ask them what that like most about the company. If someone asks me where do I see myself in 5 years, I say not here. Not working in this enviorment and not working for you. Then I excuse myself from the interview...

I usually say (in all past jobs, at target and now) "What if we try xyz, in xyz order to see if it makes a difference." This way you are giving your opinion on how something may improve a condition yet not challenging the bosses and sort of keeping it open ended where they may be able to get the...

It's so different in the real world..Outside Target world, Managers are not only receptive to ideas, but actually allow you to implement them. AND, they don't back down when you have made a decision regarding a customer. They actually back what I have said to customers.. it took me a little...

I was GSA every shift even before I had the position - sometimes double shifts because I am a jerk and would say yes when a gstl would call out - Don't ever say yes -

Do etl's even have offices at target? Not where I worked. They use the computers in tsc or the booking room Until you get an actual position, don't fret over metrics or if you should be on the floor or sitting at a computer. Some stores are to busy for being in one place to long. And when you...

The recruiter should have done the full interview but as far as you saying you are qualified for the job isn't an automatic in for the position. It seems like this thread is getting blow. Way out of proportion. If you feel you still are entitled to an interview call back the recruiter and say...

I think, starting the interview with - I need a chuck of hours off on Friday - was putting negativity in the recruiter's head. I may have gotten through the first interview and saved that accommodation for a face to face by saying - It would be alright if I needed a few hours each week for...

It is a tough choice. You will not have the luxury of set schedules - that's for sure. You will miss out on a lot of you kids - future kids milestones. That family party. You might be working. Thanksgiving that you always spent with family - kiss that good bye with any retail job. Along with...

Walk around target stores during peak hours.. See how tl's, gstls' and etl's run around. Look at their faces.. Look at all of the employees faces.. Do they look tired? Stressed? Etl's put in many many hours.. Sometimes closing then opening again. I think they have 10 hour shifts.. Don't quote me...

When I see the framed degree in their offices. I laugh and laugh - ETL business college - it even sounds silly. Maybe they should also get a sticker for their car window. Target ETL Business College. It would make a parent proud (eyeroll) My ex had a stupid degree too. Bruce Hardwood...

There is so much more to being a GSA then covering breaks. You have a front end to run and are pulled in a hundred directions at once putting out fires. Let me ask you, what is the pay level you would accept to run a department during your shift? I don't think there is a job in retail where...

I ask each and every one of them (when they don't have a guest) to please try as hard as they can to get redcards. To some of my little girls - as I call them - (teens or early 20's) I will say - if you love me you will try. They laugh. I sometimes buy Some kind of candy and when I hear them...

I'm surprised your new store is allowing tm's to transfer to other departments. Isn't that leaving your dept understaffed?

No, unfair is when the closing GS tm calls out and they can't find anyone to come in. An lod constantly yelling because the amount of reshop is insane. And all you have is a partially trained cashier over there who can't even accept payments yet. If you need help getting yourself...

Is a CSM equivalent to gsa or Gstl, or etl? Other stores consider gstl equal to head cashier, while gsa is equal to assistant head cashier - to cover the basic functions of the day when the head cashier isn't in or unavailable. CSM seems like it is customer service manager.. At other stores the...

Retail girl - as long as she knows I am available it helps her. I'm usually running around from register to self check out putting out fires. Sometimes I feel like I'm spinning. I barely have a chance to be a back up

But Kartman, we can't go there because the United States does not have a national language, though English is the language used for all or most legislation and government rulings.

We have some softlines tm's who don't (or won't) backup - they say it's because they don't understand English well enough. One of them will come up if it's during my shift - not that I speak Spanish - but she knows I am there instantly for her when she needs help. I also ask the cashiers who are...
