Lets see ---- ( I'll ad to this list as I think of them )
1. - Team members who willfully destroy equipment -
2. - ETL's who defend - Team members who willfully destroy equipment - Example team member jams a screw driver in the baler key slot to "MAKE IT" run !
3. - Spots convoluted way of wanting things repaired - its as if I / we need to be taught.
4. - Spots Kafkaesque way of doing things.
3 & 4 - there's a difference --
5. - Spending more and more time at a computer - when I should actually be repairing something.

23. - Team members who load an end-cap with cases of water - top to bottom - and wounder why it collapses.
24. - The tin foil jammed into the fuse holder from # 22.

When a ETL hears this-they want me to rebuild their entire house - and when I say a flat out "No" - they run to HR -- HR then tells me I shouldn't help Jane get her car running to take her kid to child care ------- and get to work.

I have a place to store them ----- John !
50. - If I make the mistake and try to change out the wheel bearings on a pallet jack and turn my back -- every single time - I come back to find Someone trying to use it -- and telling me its hard to pull - 2 X 4 under one side / old wheel next to the new wheel / tools all on laying on one of the out rigger rails --- Duh ---

53. - Speaking of twisted phone cords --- Why is it when I need to use the phone in the Team Lead room -- the cords are twisted tighter than my STL's underwear --- some are so bad - I feel like Oliver Wendell Douglas up the pole trying to call the Monroe Brothers about the plumbing ---
54. - Male team members who wear their pants way to low -- when they bend over to pick up something --- there's major but-crack showing --- one day I'm either going to spackle it closed or go and find a bike for it ---
55. - White male team members who try to act black - ain't gonna happen -- you-all just look dumb --
56. - When I change out ceiling tiles or lamps - I understand why guests always stand under me / offspring of guests try to climb up the skyjack / guests will ask me if I can see their kid wearing the red sweatshirt and the sneakers that have the lights in the heals - its because they don't care for their safety or their looking to make a quick buck - I will stop what I'm doing till its clear below me - I've head of SFT's dropping tiles on guests - having lamps land in front of them --- one time there was a kid standing next to the mast - if I didn't look down before I started lowering - splat or at least a slow squish. Why the hell do team members feel compelled to zone right below me ! And if one more team member takes my photo while I'm up there -- I can toss a tile 4 to 6 isles --- accurately ---

1. People who don't put their fixtures away in the fixture room, creating a death trap. It's not that difficult to put fixtures away, especially when the fixture room has been cleaned and organized.
I'm tired of cleaning up after everybody else. I know it's in my job description, but I shouldn't have to constantly pick up after lazy TMs who can't be bothered to put their stuff away, especially when they are common everyday fixtures.
2. People who don't break their peghooks down.
3. When ETLs hold me accountable for keeping the fixture room clean and safe, and I can't hold the TMs accountable for their messes left behind.
4. TMs who use the floor as a garbage can, even though there's one right there. Or the garbage can is overflowing, and they don't take it to the trash.
5. People who take the backer paper, signing, or fixtures out of a box, and leave the empty box behind instead of taking it to the trash.
6. Lack of common sense.
7. Guests who call for me and ask questions from the other end of the aisle. Don't be rude and shout at me, come up and talk to me like a normal person.
8. MySupport and the some of the responses I get, which have nothing to do with the question I asked.
9. The way Target names some of the fixtures or supplies in TIPP. It would be nice if they could have multiple descriptions of the items when you're looking for a part when you're not sure of the name. The official fixture name, and other descriptions that it would fit in (metadata) so it comes up in search. It would make it so much easier (and eliminates MySupport requests). I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but one fixture I ordered, the name was way off from what anybody thought it was called.
10. When clicking on a link in TIPP takes you to the company's webpage, only to have the webpage blocked by ITS so you can't view a picture of the item.

Amen to these. My SFT complains about the paperwork part of it. He says it takes longer for him to go to the computer, create a work order, go fix it, then close the work order. Would be so much easier if he could just fix it on the spot.
I'll add to the WAVE one. When I have major overhead sets, and know that I'll be using the WAVE for several hours in the morning, and I send off an email and get with the LODs to pass on the word to please make sure that the WAVE is plugged in to charge overnight (4 am store), so that I can have a fully charged WAVE the next morning to do the overhead sets and not be stuck in the air on a dead one. I come in, and both WAVs have 2 bars of battery charge on them. That was fun with the SHOPS signing which had to be done before the store opened at 8. >_<
My SFT just chains and padlocks the gates shut on the WAVE so they can't get on and drive off with it.

Being told to do something I do every day.
"Don't forget to pull research." Really? I've only worked at this place longer than the entire ETL staff combined, and now you're going to tell me to do something I do, on time, Every. Freaking. Day.

1. team members who don't work (the ones who can be found in every area except their own,etc) getting a ton of hours
2. tm who complain about hours but have stupid availability (like only available Saturdays between 9 and 2...yup that's one way to get all your Saturdays off)
3. guests who aren't satisfied with the 20 tm's that tell them the same thing so they call corporate and demand to talk to the district manager.
4. guests who are high and mighty
5. condescending tl's
6. lack of communication starting at the top.

1. Guests who cannot give their stuff to a TM when they decide they don't want it and put it where ever they please.
2. Extra points if it's a perishable item.
3. Guests who say anything to me besides, "sure," when I ask to scan their ID for whatever.
4. Coworkers who are at work 20 minutes before they punch in, but are still 5 minutes late finding their way to their lane.
5. Guests who won't put their clothes down on the belt, or freak out if they aren't folded perfectly along creases when out into bags.
6. Guests who think they are going to hold up my line while their kid gets something else, or they just plain aren't done shopping yet.
7. Guests who come through my lane on their cell phone.
8. Guests who take the bags off the holder before I have filled them.
9. When they give out bribes (food) to people to get them to attend huddle, thus leaving out the cashiers and such who don't have the option to attend so we get nothing since we didn't attend.
I'm slipping...I know there are more.

Oh I had one today. Some yuppie in his BMW SUV parked his car right in front of the cart bay doors. I had a full train of carts and came to a stop thinking he'd leave soon. 1 minute after another ticked by and he continued to sit there blocking my way. After about 8 minutes I lost my patience and walked up to his open window and asked if he was going to be a while. I told him I had a row of carts to bring in. His reply: "My wife is in the bathroom, can you give me another minute or two?" So another 5 minutes go buy then his wife comes out and she comes to his driver-side door and have an argument and keep talking. Whole time I was like friggin' move already! I have work to do!!!! I'm continually perplexed at how arrogant and rude people can be. I must have stood there 15 minutes before he finally moved for me. He could have just pulled forward a couple car lengths to give me the room to bring them in, but oh no, he's gotta sit there because he wants to be a complete douche bag and hold me up!

6. People who don't look at the bright lights on top of the registers noting all open ones

Seriously she needs to stop acting naive and innocent. Her character hasn't been that since the first season, and she doesn't even do it well. I've never watched a show whose main character I couldn't stand. It's interesting.
Also, I think you need a vacation. That is all.

when guests don't use dividers when they're purchasing -_- having to get 2 redcards every shift no matter what, the lack of cashiers at the front lanes when target is paaacked. a million more things.
I'm new and in food ave, but I already have some peeves...
...Coming back from lunch or break and the TL or people that have been in Food ave way longer than I have not throwing expired pizzas and they're still sitting in the hot hold.
...Completely running out of topped pizzas....If you see we're running low, top more...Running out when we have plenty of dough is pure laziness.
...Being in Food avenue PERIOD. I would so much rather be a cashier or operator..or anything that isnt working with popcorn.

I always honk my horn at them on the cart pusher and I get real close. I then tell the GSTL that he isn't suppose to park there and I thought he was going to move and the carts were blocking the driving area.
Our pizzas don't even get topped. We make top and put them in the oven as needed (Every 10 mins).
Also, when food ave gets busy pizza sometimes stay 5-10 minutes longer in the hot hold. I don't do this but the FATL and other FA team members do.

I would have lashed 5 carts together to the pusher and left it 1/32" from his front bumper -- walk up to him holding my crotch and say - "I'll be right back --- I gotta go potty real bad"

We had a female type at the register's last year - after the guest got off his cell -- just before she was done ringing him up - she actually said "Ring - ring - ring" -- "Hold on a second - I gotta take this my kid is sick" - and turned her back on him :huh:
She quit for bigger and better job.

When the previous Food Ave closer left me to open with:
1. Dirty tables
2. Dirty counter tops and prep areas
3. Dirty microwave
4. Dirty Popcorn machine
5. Dirty Icee machine
6. No temps recorded for their entire shift
7. No salads and no sandwiches prepped
8. Out of date foods to be thrown out last night still stocked.
9. Condiments not stacked properly
10. Opened foods left in bags, and not put in containers...so the juices dripped on everything else.
11. Then when I report everything to the ETL, I get the response..."It most have been busy last night."
- I never left until everything was cleaned, stocked, and prepped, or unless it was communicated.

10. Signs for last weeks ad still in place...on Thursday night. Bonus points if some of the ad signs for the same product (different flavor) were taken down but others were not.

11. Friends who find out where I'm working and show up at my door with money for me to pick up a sale item that I'm not even sure will fit in my car.
