I was hired in July and started about two weeks ago as a seasonal cashier. I made it very clear that I'm a student and also put in my app that I have another job In my hometown (that I come back to for summer & winter break.)... So today (4 mo's in advance) I asked my ETL if I could get a LOA in December to see my family. She said maybe and that we'll talk about it, and that I could just drive back & forth. I know that I'm new but I thought the earlier the better. I assumed being that I'm ONLY a cashier that it wouldn't be a huge deal being that she's constantly hiring cashiers. She also said she hasn't seen her family during any holiday (in my defense I'm a cashier probably making half her pay) so I was a little upset she took it personally. Is this normal for target to be not really willing to give LOA's to students? I thought that since they hired students, they'd be flexible?
