So basically I've worked at Target for about seven months now. I initially was hired for Sales Floor, was getting overwhelmed with it because they basically just throw people into their shift for the first time and pair you with someone who shows you how to zone and never bothers to explain anything else for that matter. Whatever, I eventually asked to do Cashiering, but I got fed up with it as well, so now I'm doing both.
Lately, our zoning has become really difficult and frustrating. It seems that the mid-day people do not zone anything. I realize Target is a busy store and obviously it is going to get messed up by the time the people who close come in to zone. But, man it is like no one has touched anything. The one person assigned to do hardlines, basically half asses his zoning. He consistently misses big parts of the isle and I realize it does not have to be perfect, but it's clear that either he does not care or he is just not seeing it, I don't even know.
So tonight, four people for Sales Floor called off, and I decided to stay till 11 to help out. By the time we had to wrap up and leave, there were back walls not zoned, I almost didn't finish the isle with granola bars and there were at least 4 or 5 carts of reshop full.
Now, I'm not a leader or anything, but I feel like because mid-day is not helping the zone, it is putting a lot of the heavy duty on us. Because at the end of the day, who gets the blame if it's not zoned or finished, not the mid-day people, it's us. I've progressively gotten better, more efficient and a little bit faster at zoning, I'm far from perfect and I'm not a speed demon by any means because I'm a perfectionist and apparently being that at Target does not work with zoning.
What baffles me is that nothing is being discussed or talked about. The funny thing is I was sitting in the office with my HR waiting for my LOD to change the schedule and we're just chatting. I said "You know it stinks that they don't train us how to do things other than zoning", and she completely agreed with me and I'm like.. exactly.
These people rather find something to yell at us for and "learn it ourselves" versus just I don't know, making sure the person training us shows us.
I'm just annoyed that mid-day must be doing reshop all day and no zoning because it is hell sprinting through the entire hardlines trying to get it all done so I don't get griped at for.
TARGET IS A MASSIVE HEADACHE OMG!
