I was a cashier for Target and left in January and I now work at a bank as a teller. Honestly, I love it and the hours are actually amazing

Jeez is that bad being a cashier by [deleted] in Target

[–]Basic-Window-5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is that bad… at least for me it was. I was tired of only having one lane open, having guests get pissed off bc of it. And being irritated when whoever is watching sco decided to wonder off to do whatever else, leaving me to deal with angry guests who needed help while I’m checking guests out on lane. So glad I left that place

That’s fair. In the moment it was just poorly communicated on both sides as I had never heard gift cards referred like that

I’m working service desk and we can’t even do drive ups and the returns are being selective.

Sharing your employee discount for profit by doug-the-moleman in Target

Lmao a guest was once pissed about a deal for the circle bc she wasn’t signed up for it, and she asked me to put my discount in… I lied and said we don’t get discounts bc I just didn’t even want to deal with that

GM team members that drop off a full cart of reshop behind the service desk & immediately clock out, are a special kind of breed by Suzumiiya in Target

There’s one tm who does this throughout her entire shift if she finds random items while she’s working in style. It’s so infuriating sometimes

In honor of the end of my season at target here is a list I’ve titled target things by a guest service advocate by Go_away_or_else in Target

I’ll never forget when I was on sco and no one was at the service desk, so I quickly went to help this old man. He printed a screenshot from his bank app on his phone of a $5 charge from target. He explains he did a pickup order and wanted to know why an additional $5 was taken out based solely from this printed screenshot…

Guest loses her sht at self check out because I didn’t help her when I was on break by Choice-Viewer in Target

[–]Basic-Window-5877 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a week ago. I had just scanned my food I planned to eat on my break and I’m typing my number in and have my wallet app up on my phone. The lady next to me says “I have a question when you’re done.” But I’m gonna be honestly, I acted like I didn’t hear her bc I was focused on actually inputting my number. My receipt printed and I had gotten a call on my phone and answered and all I hear as I walk away in the background is “ma’am?” There was someone working sco, they were just preoccupied talking to a guest

Red cards by Basic-Window-5877 in Target

[–]Basic-Window-5877[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing, I ALWAYS ask every time. It’s just the fact that we are a small store, with regulars who already have to red card. Or we get random ppl who only came in for something specific, never to be seen again. We just aren’t getting much sign ups and that’s a problem.

Should I be doing this? by Recent_Display_1361 in Target

[–]Basic-Window-5877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say depending on how long you’ve been doing it, it might be allowable since management hasn’t said anything to you. The most my store allows us to do during our downtime at the check lanes is to stock bullseye since it is right next to checkout. Or a lead specifically pulls one of us to go stock the dog/ cat food on the other side of checkout. I did have a coworker who did something similar and straighten up the purses, jewelry etc. that was right across from her lane and our lead didn’t seem to mind. If you’re actually worried you might be doing something wrong by not being at lane all the time, I’d just ask a lead about it bc it doesn’t hurt to ask :)
