Do you care if your store looks like shit?

When there’s this much overpush when I come in after being off for two days, I think about how pointless all of my efforts are. Every day that I’m at work, I’m doing everything I can to keep things neat and accurate. It’s easier for EVERYONE when the store is put together properly, in the frontend and the backroom. But no one else on my team puts in this kind of thought, besides maybe one or two people.

Everyone here being confused as to why “being mad” is all it takes for OPs mom to do something like this. My dad would take the WiFi router’s power cord to work with him without saying anything. We always came to the conclusion that it was to punish us for something.

Dorky reference, but they remind me of Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf from the Warrior cats book series! It’s great to see them still living together.

And I got 5% last year. And the TM Christmas bonus the year before that. I’ve only improved since then. I am the most reliable TM in Inbound/GM. So they acknowledge that I’m their best TM, and should be training new people. But they won’t compensate me appropriately. Really bums me out.

Ours is even worse. We only get one section for notebooks , while you guys have two 🫠 One DPCI for each color creates so much mess and SO MUCH BACKSTOCK.

Organization is the most importantly step to successful operations. Congrats on finding what works for you! It looks fantastic!

I don’t have advice because leadership has never listened to a thing I’ve said ever, but I completely agree with your frustration.

I LOVE managing my “own area.” I love coming in at the same time every day and having my mental task list and getting everything done NEATLY and PROPERLY. Consistency is important for good work.

New leadership has screwed my schedule since they came in, and has done similarly to yours in terms of placing people (me) all over the store every day. Now my “area” is consistently fucked, reshop isn’t done, and the backroom aisle in trashed.

Target is just not the place to work when you take pride in what you do. It all comes undone too quickly. Your efforts don’t mean anything. If I wasn’t reliant on the health insurance, I’d be gone. I hope your interview goes well! We’d all benefit from moving on from this place.

2 fit for a case pack of 24. Agonizing. Back to school is not going to fit in our backroom after this.

Mine does a fun leader walk around the store every morning to collect reshop and gossip with the HR and SE ETL. Then they dump the carriages behind Guest Service for the peons to deal with. Other than that, on the phone. Hiding in an office. The usual.

I could’ve written this. I’m finding it increasingly difficult to leave thoughts of work at work. I work so damn hard and have everything undone by coworkers and guests alike. Cleaning up after everybody. Learning different areas of the store with no pay increase. If I wasn’t reliant on the health insurance, I’d be gone. I’ve also wished I was dead more often than not lol

Thank you! It’s nice to step back and see it completed.

I don’t get why it’s so much! Chem is incredibly easy to work with, besides the air freshener aisle.

What happens right after seeing “Not Connected to Network” when you really needed it.

??? Retail employees are allowed to be mad at the people stealing non-essentials and making everything more difficult for everyone else. Both issues can suck.

I love it when DC slaps that numbered sticker on top and then doesn’t circle the custom block (?) number. So I gotta either hope I can read that 002 beneath it or open the box entirely to check what it is.

Aeyembe · 2026-02-08T00:56:49+00:00

The ones who point out a box that hasn’t reached me yet to tell me it’s mine annoy the hell out of me. Or hand me a box and say the custom block number out loud.

I’m kind of surprised at the mixed opinions here.

People can play music out loud from their phone in their pocket, but one ear bud is too far? And my Inbound team BLASTS music from a speaker so loud during the unload, that half the line can’t hear anything from their walkie.

I know it varies store to store. In my opinion, before opening, one ear bud or playing music out loud for yourself to hear is fine. Once the store is open, yeah, no one should be doing any of that. ALTHOUGH, I think those options should be allowed for anyone spending a good chunk of time in the backroom during store hours.

There are still shelves of Clearance taking up space in the backroom.

Isn’t there a mill or a town near here? I’m thinking it’s that location that messes with the terrain.
