Immediately after seasonals aren't needed (after Back to College here, also Christmas), everyone's hours get chopped drastically. Everyone knows this, no need to elaborate.
Anyway, some of these seasonal hires, the ones that get kept, also have their hours minimized for a little while. You all know how it goes. I've given up a shift here or there to these newbies to help them out so they don't go running for the hills with $10 paychecks. It hurts me a decent amount considering my hours are also hurting, but I've yet to regret this kind of investment. We have some wonderful people in my store and I'm proud to say I've helped make them feel welcome.
Also, I like to "pay it forward" with tms. Not very long ago, I was walking/biking to and from work every day. I had a few offers from tms to take me home, which were of course greatly appreciated. Whenever I see a tm in that situation now that I have a vehicle of my own, I always offer rides. phibot the Target uber tm!
I always feel like I'm going to identify myself on here with this anecdote or that. Oh well. Haven't said anything I don't stand by. When I tell newbies as they walk the store with their orientation questions that "my favorite vibe moment" is when I feel good knowing that I've helped a guest or tm out, no matter how, they know I mean it sooner or later.
Except people asking about NES classics or Hatchimals. I still laugh at them. Fuck those guys
