As for stings, I've personally had about 4 run on me and I passed the test everytime. Best one I've seen though, wasn't even run on me. It was in summer and I was out on the floor finishing up a truck. This girl came in, cute as hell, in short shorts and little tank top she was falling out...

I maintain it's stupid law. If you are obviously old enough, if I personally know you, if I've check your ID in the past, etc. then I should not have to continue to check your ID. To make it even stupider and I'll say the state, I live in Tennessee. We have one set of laws for beer and...

If you mean the LAW, as opposed to Target policy then yes, it varies greatly from state to state. I've no idea what Target corporate policy is but the laws regarding ID for age restricted products vary greatly.

No need to be defensive at all. I was working at a convenience store when they passed the mandatory ID law here. The law was passed but it was X number of days before it went into effect. The owner of the store decided to go ahead and make it store policy and so we were carding everyone...

I have to say, neither one of you were quite right in that one. In the state where I live, it is state law that you have to card for alcohol sales, regardless of age but that isn't the national norm. The way it used to be here was it was at the discretion of the seller and from her reaction...

That's why they make hand sanitizer. I've handled plenty of money over the years that came out of a bra and some that came out of even worse places. I also one had a cute little customer who had her money in her bra. When she pulled her money out, something else came out with it... She was...

LOL... Please know that I'm laughing WITH you and not at you, but I just don't put up with ************ like that. Reminded me of an incident that happened to me a couple of years ago. I was sitting behind the counter, doing paperwork and one of my clerks was on the register. She had a...

Try being on the sales floor wearing a shirt and tie. The assumption then isn't just that you're a "retail drone," it's that you're the retail drone in charge. Telling them that you aren't is pointless. Customer, "Are you the manager?" Me, "No, I'm not, but can I help you with something?"...

I can't help wondering why you'd let perishables sit in a cart for 2 hours? I think too embarrassed to admit she couldn't pay is the most likely scenario but regardless, once I saw them leave the store, I'd give her 10-15 minutes tops before I started having someone return the perishables to...

I can understand they don't want every random employee playing around with the thermostat, but... When the customers are complaining it's too hot/too cold. The employees are complaining it's too hot/too cold. The manager should be able to override it and turn the thermostat up or down...

I have to say, I'm with your friend. If I want to bring a drink in with me, what's it to you? Now I know there are some stores that simply don't allow food or drink on the sales floor and that I can understand. BUT, if I went in a restaurant, ordered something to eat, asked for a cup of ice...

:laugh1: I've been in retail off and on for the better part of 20 years but that's among the best stories I've ever heard. It's right up there with the clerk I had who brought her electric guitar and amp to work with her and was playing it behind the counter. While on the clock. On video tape.

That's something I freaking hate is working somewhere that the HVAC is controlled from somewhere else. What? It's hot/cold in your store? No it's not. The thermometer that we're reading, from 300 miles away, says it's perfectly comfortable.

This wasn't really a "conversation," but it's the first thing that popped into my head when I read this thread. Late one night, I was the closing manager at a convenience store and I was also the person working the front. I had this girl come in, cellphone, glued to her ear. I said hello...

Darius, it really sounds like you need to find another line of work or at least a different job. You sound majorly burned out and I can relate, I've been there myself and even if it's another retail job, a change of scenery can help immensely.

The customer in that OP is as full of, fill in the blank, as a Thanksgiving turkey at Christmas. He DOES NOT get on a military base without showing proper ID and if they want to scan it, they will. That's why it has a barcode on the back. Beyond that, I think carding people who are...

It's not your HOME. It's your place of employment and without customers you WOULD NOT have a job. In my time in retail, I've been,screamed at, cursed, threatened, had them throw things at me and in two instances, had to physically defend myself. Three if you count the coworker's...

Yeah, I get the reasons why. I may well be doing something of my own volition, but what's to say I won't come back and sue them, claiming they made me do it? Or say I'm in the backroom, 10 feet off of the floor, climbing the rafters looking for a backstocked cereal for a customer but I'm...

The same *expletive deleted* assistant manager once refused to answer a very simple, would have taken him 10 seconds question I had because he was "on his lunch." That was after I went and found him, after he'd ignored repeated pages because, again, he was "on his lunch."

LOL... Well, I don't work for Target yet and I'm not entirely sure I want to. Regardless, from what I've read in this thread, they are taking a legitimate management concern, i.e. we don't want employees performing work when they aren't on the clock and taking it to a silly and ultimately...
