    The problem is when the guest has three dozen items on their receipt that would have cartwheel savings. If I don't do wrong payment (which is a bad idea for the reasons listed) I have to go through, calculate the discount from each item, add it all up and do it as a missed coupon. All this...

    I used to have a boyfriend who didn't even know how to *check* the oil in his car before he met me. Yet I always had to take him with me to get my car worked on because we lived in East Bumfuck, Texas and mechanics would either constantly lie to me or flatly refuse to speak to me.

    Empty Starbucks Cups left behind on shelves

    Every once in awhile I let my sarcastic side out at work, and this would have been one of those times. I would have clasped the empty cup to my chest and breathlessly thanked the guest for the opportunity.

    Dear every cashier ever: SERVICE DESK CANNOT ADD CARTWHEEL TO A RECEIPT AFTER THE FACT.

    Never more than once. I like my personal space.

    Ah, I was just going to suggest that you get a "se habla espanol" name badge. Awhile back I ordered those for all the Spanish-speaking front end team members I knew of and it's helped confusion a lot. About half of the front end people at my store who speak fluent Spanish are white kids...

    TTOG: You came to the service desk and threw a fit because we wouldn't give you cash for the eighteen cents left on your gift card. Somehow, in your shriveled little mind, Target was legally obligated to at least sell you an item for eighteen cents because... reasons. I'm just going out on a...

    On the other side of that, I have a Spanish name, look Hispanic, and I don't speak conversational Spanish. Every once in awhile someone will assume I speak Spanish and try and start a conversation that way, but mostly people will ask first. I don't really mind it when people pick the wrong...

    To that one guest

    TTOG: It's not so much that you called me by the wrong name despite me wearing a nametag. It's more that you replied "you two look so much alike you could be sisters" when I explained that I really wasn't Jane from the service desk. (Jane is a six foot tall three hundred pound black woman...

    I was on a register the week before Christmas and had a guest swear up and down that the Super Target by her house could look up her redcard at the register using her social security number. As in, she wanted to pay using the card without having the card present. She kept arguing with me and...

    I spent too many years in work environments where I was fighting against real, entrenched sexism and sometimes violent sexual harassment to have any patience for women who use their bodies to get attention. Call it a character flaw.

    Seriously. I don't give a shit if you decide to dress provocatively at work. If that's the trail you want to blaze more power to you. Nobody should be able to shame you for your body and if you want to push the boundaries of workplace acceptability for women, go to it. But don't fuckin whine...

    WHAT? YOU HAVE BREASTS? WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN? THIS IS TERRIBLE!!! EVERYONE LET'S GET TOGETHER AND FEEL BAD FOR APSQUEEN! As a woman who is so obviously concerned with maintaining a professional appearance, we must all surely take offence that our sister has been leered at in the workplace...

    I think she's doing a great favor to the team members who work in her store. Every post she makes here will be dirt that they can use against her if they want to. She obviously values the attention from her provocative pic, or else she would have changed it. She has nothing to gain from...

    Allow me to translate. Lo, but one day ago a fair patron graced my lane with her sweet presence. Immediately upon her arrival the aroma of excrement settled about the place, and after the discreet inspection of the posterior of her raiment, it became obvious to me that she had soiled her...

    It's not just guests- at my store the floor staff and cashiers seem to think that GS has magical powers. "Why yes, of course I can apply your cartwheel three weeks after the fact and give you the deal you saw on KrazyKoupon.com that totally violates our store policy! Oh and let me price match...

    To the whole HR team: I know I had a conversation at least once with each of you where I mentioned I would be on the other side of the damn country for six days. The fact that I had six days off in a row during December also might have tipped you off to the fact that I *might* not be in...

    I was in line after a long shift checking out with my purchases- a TV dinner and a bottle of wine. I was chatting with the guest in line behind me and I mentioned something about the employee discount. He said, "Oh, they give you a discount on your alcohol? That's nice!" to which I replied...
