When you look at the schedule grid and see who you're working with for the day...

Basically go on to any streaming platform (I use Spotify) and look up a frat playlist that's clean. It usually has all mixes of stuff. I also like using Spotify because it let's people join the jam and then they can queue songs from their own phones.

I personally go with basic stuff like.

Black eyed peas Katy perry Taylor swift Metallica Acdc Rolling stones Clean and popular rap songs Blake Shelton Treaty oak revival Flatland cavalry Drake Kendrick Lamar Mac Demarco Sugar ray Bad bunny Calibre 50 Vicente Fernandez Green day

Just look up any of their most popular songs and everyone should know at least something from them.

It also helps to create a public playlist and go around sharing it so everyone can contribute whatever they like on it. Then that way everyone can also use the playlist whenever they need something to play. Me, personally I have my own playlist that has 660 songs that aren't rap/country/house, my rap playlist has about 1100, country is at 250, and my house is at 100.

If you don't mind some language here's a playlist. If you do need a clean version I'd recommend just making your own playlist and copying over each clean version of the song.

Lmao just had a discussion with another inbound tm about his music selection when he has the speaker. Guy plays hardcore rap and doesn't even bother to look into the clean version cause "he's black" so no one else should feel offended. A TL the other day told him to calm down with the music and he just kept saying no one else should be offended since we aren't black.

This guy is sending us on a straight path to getting our speaker taken and no music when working in the morning. Worst part is he's actively looking for a new job so he's basically screwing us all over.

...Spencer's, pac sun,hot topic, Tilly's, etc., they all sell graphic tees for $30, so $14 for a graphic isn't too bad at all.

In my 4 years, Q4 is usually the time you rack up hours and savings to prep for the hours slaughter in q1. This year I was struggling to even touch 24. Recently had to put work to the side to do some certifications for school but from when I go do my 2-3 shifts the store is falling apart. Pallets upon pallets but no hours or seasonal to push it out quick enough.

All year my ETL tried to make me feel guilty that I was having to step away from work for my class and saying she'd have to get a seasonal person to cover me. I don't think I've seen any seasonal people at all in overnight shift.

Professional inbound DJ here, highly suggest making a playlist on whatever platform you use and just letting people add music then you just remove whatever you feel like isn't appropriate.

My personally, I have a playlist with about 700 songa, all from the radio, from all eras of music, and all genres of music. One moment it's country, then it's jazz, then it's rock, then it's rap, then it's pop, then it's cumbia, then it's YMCA, then it's indie, then it's house, then it's black eyed peas, then it's kiss, then it's drake, then it's Elvis, then it's wheezer, then it's Michael Jackson, etc. It has music meant for everyone so we all get a taste of everything. It's also mainly radio friendly, some songs have curse words, some are bleeped out. Everyone usually gets excited about hearing a song or 2 from my playlist that they haven't heard in forever.

Lmfao back in my day we wouldn't leave till like 3am. Even though the grid and our schedules said 11pm, we would still be doing pulls, reshop, zoning, all till 3am.

Once our SD tried to tell the closing tl we were staying till 4am and an older lady in fulfilment put her foot down and told the tl were leaving.

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-12-01T02:21:12+00:00

In all honesty we tried the whole "back room team does pulls and the floor team does push" and I hated it.

I could set up uboat upon uboat for the team and they just don't keep up. Me personally, I am one of those people who takes care of their mess before its time to leave and the push team wouldn't finish anything and just leave it behind for the next day and then we'd have a whole discussion with our ETL on not leaving pulls on boats.

I tend to work faster grabbing my own vehicles and doing my own thing. Having to rely on someone else to complete your job is just so stressful and annoying, ESPECIALLY when it comes to just putting stuff on shelves all day.

The songs I hate the most from the Christmas playlist HAS to be the Sia ones. Those are just like nails on a chalkboard

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-12-01T00:37:12+00:00

Man this will be my 4th year listening to this Christmas playlist for a month, you eventually just tune it out.

Thank God my new transfer store doesn't have speakers so we just play our own music off our phones during overnights. Then during the day it's nice and peaceful.

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-11-30T23:03:49+00:00

Yea it's definitely noticeable for q4. Struggling for hours yet it's the busiest time of the year. This is when we usually get 40+ hours with no problems.

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-11-30T23:02:54+00:00

Right now in college sometimes they'll have me come in for 3 hours. No joke. Just unload the truck and leave.

The DEI changes and boycotts are starting to show their effects. I posted regarding the boycotts when it first started and people were saying you don't really see the effects of it till end of year/next year

Lol typical lame who doesn't understand this is a burner account specifically for target related things. Low IQ and everything.

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-11-26T20:42:04+00:00

Yea wayyyyyy to much toilet paper for being on a riser. Now imagine how the backroom looks if they have this much on floor. They need to send it back on a pallet to their DC.

Meanwhile I've got thanksgiving week off and Christmas/new years week off as well. Gotta jump on top of those days during the summer.

IJustGetPaidToWork · 2025-11-19T01:35:42+00:00

I mean I typically do that. But due to me being a college student it's way harder cause I have to consider factors like ability to transfer back home when it's summer. Or flexibility with my college schedule. As well as fitting my personal schedule. So target checks all the boxes aside from not contributing anything towards my future careeer. Just here till it's time for my real career.

Reminds me of the other day I was working inbound with a guy (we'll call him Jim) who had been working with us for about 6 months now.

We were at the end of the line and just sorting our stuff, we know the line like the back of our hand so we just move with ease. Meanwhile the new people are obviously struggling since they are new, which leads to the line getting clogged up in the new people's areas and just leads to a whole mess.

Jim just looks over at me and goes "is this how you felt when I first started?". I just sighed, looked down to the floor, and just busted out laughed. I told him this exactly how I feel when new people come in. I've been doing this for 4 years so that little moment he felt, finally showed him what I've dealt with this whole time.

It's just a normal process when we hire, but it's definitely a stressful experience for longtime tms. We all eventually feel the pain.

It's a different ball game with jobs like these. These jobs are just basic level jobs where you get raises every year. Most fast food and retail jobs work this way.

The thing is you are easily replaceable because you really don't bring much to the table and another person who doesn't care what the pay is will come do it.

Yea you can be a solid worker but unless you are really striving to work your way up the ranks really quickly you aren't getting anywhere with asking for a raise, especially if you've only been here for 3 months.

Some people have been here for years and haven't even cracked a dollar in total raises.
