    Archived Who else saw someone steal in front of them late at night?

    Is it just me or is it the best time for someone to steal? Our Target tends to not put as many people on one night and then too many on the next night and then hours get messed up. Tonight, there was only a certain amount of Hardlines, 1 Beauty (Me), but obviously I count as Hardlines BUT it's...

    Archived Guests act of kindness

    So today i had a great conversation with a guest which for me happens a few times within the day so i never really think of it much once the guest leaves. Well that changed today when one of our Starbucks girls comes over to me to tell me a guest had paid for my Starbucks drink since i jokingly...

    Archived You know what bothers me the most

    When target employees talk target lingo to guests "I will go grab the LOD for you" "I will go look in reshop for you" "Ill just put this back in reshop" Is this just me or does this bother anyone else

    Archived What to do if a guest is interested in a RED card?

    Hello fellow target employees, I started working for target as a Cashier about a month ago and I am still confused as to what I would do if a guest wanted to register for a RED card. If someone could please explain to me the process opening a new RED card for a guest that would be great, thanks!

    Hello! So, I work in a location with a lot of foreigners/tourists. Most of them speak Spanish or Portuguese. I speak English and French, but so far have not met a single French speaker. A lot of times while working on the sales floor, I'll have a Spanish or Portuguese-speaking guest come up to...

    Archived Guest gave positive feedback

    Had this lady ask for assistance getting to our Redbull we had stocked on the salesfloor as I was nearly done preparing the backroom for Truck team. For the uninitiated, that part of my job means taking pallets of vendor product and setting them out on our vendor aisle (mainly sodas and various...

    Archived Toilet Paper forts

    I am tired of this shit every Friday night kids hide behind the paper towels and toilet paper. Does this happen at your store? One girl lost her cell phone and a TM had to find it for her. I don't get it !!! I've told many kids ... "To get the Hell out of my store" the LOD just...

    Archived Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

    We had a male team member last night drive a guest home whose car had broken down. I think that would be the line, I think the most I have done is call five different stores for a guest. Can you think of a time when you went out of your way or took a big chunk of your time to help a guest.

    Archived Common Guest Questions?

    As a hardlines TM, I know part of my job will be helping guests. What are some examples of the most common ways of helping exactly? Common questions? I imagine, "Where is so and so product?", or perhaps lifting a heavy item off the shelf...just curious.

    List one or more of those things that you really don't want to do, but have to do it because you'd otherwise ruin the vibe. 1. Going in the back to look through several boxes to try and find the item you want that has the same dcpi as the others 2. Ringing up your 25+ items in the 10 items...

    We have a plethora of threads dedicated to those all too common despised guests and their traits, but what of those who we have deemed worthy of our respect and favor? We all (hopefully) have those guests who come in that we like, or at the very least don't mind. I have a couple. First are a...

    Hey team, ;-) In recent weeks, I've had a number of guests get quite huffy with me when I request to scan their ID for age restricted items (fireworks, beer, etc.). I always ask if the guest "Do you mind if I scan your ID?", and one guy said "Yes, I do mind. Its one less thing the NSA has to...
