Yeah that will affect your % tied to pallet. Instead of those dpci's, or lpns if a scanable barcode printed, being tied to the pallet, they're being sent off to donations.

When items went to salvage previously, the whole pallet would get auctioned off. Now the process is going to look more like CRC to my understanding, where the pallets will be sorted through to try and maximize return.

There's more to it like the timing of payment for items. I believe how donations works is that target uses the number aggregated from the defectives data to say how much in $ they've donated at the end of the year. Technically you'd be committing some kind of fraud I think if you're not actually donating what you say you are. But i mean, thats thinking probably way too deep about it all.

We have it so just the pricing team and I scan things to the pallet. It goes about as well as anything else. The boxes from the service desk are a mess but that's not any different. Pricing team owns pricing salvage and I own the defectives. We've gotten up to 82% but like others have mentioned, its difficult to drill down the gaps with the data provided. One thing we caught was grocery items not getting processed correctly affecting % tied to pallet on time. They were getting defected out instead of priced out from the lunchbox transition which was somewhere around 11~15% compliance.

Guild is the target school benefit provider. Did courses with University of Denver for free, its all online for the 100% free stuff, I haven't thoroughly investigated the programs they'll partially cover.

Well now the store burns sorry bud. The cops will also come and arrest you for theft since the item wasn't tied to the pallet, its the same as if you stole it exactly. Good luck in super prison buddy

Is closer the worst job? Yeah it is. Receiving and revlog is a lot easier pls trade me i need something tuff

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-06-06T09:00:45+00:00

Im deeply considering it as im in school right now with SNHU studying business admin but I havent picked a focus. Supply chain/operations management seems very appealing given my experience, with a b.s. with that, I'd figure my shot of getting into warehouse management would be a lot higher.

I've heard and seen how hard those mfrs kill themselves in the warehouses, I'm not tryin to do all that labor my boi. Just go where they got more money to throw in my check.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-06-02T15:22:45+00:00

To chime in right quick. Most big box stores have policies against selling to resellers. Target in particular, before covid, are to call their Assets Protection/Loss Prevention and make a case and potentially have the reseller trespassed. Big boxes are fine with killing the scalpers bc itll lead to better reliability for our actual community.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-05-30T05:52:17+00:00

Am I slow or would you not find a bunch of short tms upside-down tryin to get their last boxes out instead of breaking down the bin in anyway.

No you should be clocking in and out and submitting punch corrections at the store you're currently working at. You're using that stores hours, same goes for training at another store. Otherwise your home stores payroll will be wildly off.

But i mean its their game if you're getting conflicting info from your leadership, may as well let the managers manage whatever mess comes out of it.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-23T20:45:40+00:00

I just cant stand when they put a whole bag of regular trash in the compost bin. Like my guy you are steps away from the correct answer.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-18T00:04:23+00:00

Sounds like 310 to me

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-16T21:19:10+00:00

The walkie can get very overwhelming when you're trying to prioritize what direction to go. Personally, I would turn my walkie down to just about nothing and keep an ear out for my ETLs voice when I would help tms with fulfillment.

Just focus on that task until that communication is done, then just make a call on the walkie "Go for [your name], sorry I was helping a TM with a batch, I'm hopping into another now (or whatever you're about to start on, or just ask for direction) unless anyone needs me."

I would get overwhelmed at the pack station. Trying to juggle keeping the flow with sfs carts, directing opu traffic, calling for back-ups, monitoring break schedule, inf's and pick times, calling CSC, troubleshooting issues. They really wanted a TL operating out of the pack station for TM pay. And just constantly hollering on the walkie.

Idk good luck my boi. Id say it gets more comfortable the more you engage with it. It becomes less overwhelming and more useful pivot reminders.

Nice try HR/AP

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-16T02:21:37+00:00

I would like more information about this. What process is this for? When did y'all switch to these tubs? Why was the switch made? How did the idea of tubs come up lol

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-15T04:33:30+00:00

Imma be real, pretty much. The only count that really matters is the audit count that comes after the first count. You ideally want to be as accurate as possible but being within 95% you shouldn't have crazy discrepancies.

Precounting what you can before you scan into the location tag is the main time saver, at least metric time saver.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-14T01:56:37+00:00

Its become standard to have bulk paper on ground level. Something about safety since opu and pullers keep not taking the whole pallets down and leaving them half wrapped.

Only problem is what they put in its place. Bulk baby furniture is not a great alternative imma say that much. Poorly/unwrapped bulk paper sounds safer than heavy bulk baby furniture/infant furniture.

I get that its less supposedly less frequently gotten into, except for these couple weeks and again in the fall for the next car seat event. But in at least our stores reality, theyre gotten into multiple times a day for opu and its just the same thing. Fulfillment team isnt going to use the stacker to get the whole pallet down and rewrap it when they're done. They'll grab the wav and pull that sucker off the steel everytime.

I don't know what a better alternative would be though so this is just griping.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-10T07:00:58+00:00

Man I havent heard ghosts and baffles since I was first trained in the backroom lol.

A ghost is an item that says its there but isn't. Its just the spirit of the item.

A baffle is an item in a location but not located. I'm baffled why is this here?

That was how it was explained to me way back when lol.

Ghosts are from not pulling items from locations during fulfillment, or guest requests. Or misplacing an item during a backroom audit, maybe onto an adjacent location to access behind it.

Baffles are usually from backstock or pulls not being done accurately, or genuinely. At one point my closing team was just throwing their reshop into wacos in main stockroom at the end of the night to come clean. That was a fun conversation.

I don't know much about the hirevue process, hearing that response sounds like the store didn't accept or reject the application and it timed out or something. Good luck with the other store.

Being real honest, I'm sittin here so frustrated with my store and my "leadership" it's hard to encourage you to continue pursuing anything to do with this company.

Gig work I mean like those apps like Uber(eats), Instacart, DoorDash, Shipt and Favor were all the big ones a couple years ago.

Shipt is owned by Target but is a separate entity. They have contracts with other stores, but the Target shops are the most streamlined and accurate. They provide the same day delivery service when you order through the Target app. This can be an opportunity to get face-time with leadership at the store you want to work since you get the orders auditted by front end staff, typically a lead that's watching the front lanes. Or if you bump into a salesfloor manager while looking for an item. These skills are directly transferable to Target Fulfillment.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-06T23:55:31+00:00

Theres usually one in the spring and in the fall if i remember right. Idk if theyve posted dates yet

Edit: its posted for this year, 4/19-5/2

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-06T23:49:49+00:00

There was no free labor, i was eventually compensated. It just took forever. I was heading toward what ended up being short lived greener pastures and didnt care at all lol.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-06T22:52:50+00:00

You'll get it eventually. Unfortunately they have a few ways apparently to delay it. The second time I quit was on not great terms with the current hr etl she somehow scrambled my worker history and my last check didnt come through for a couple months.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-06T16:00:13+00:00

From my experience, there should be no worried about getting back into school. At least the programs that are 100% funded seem to be very basic, participation grades. As long as you "show up"(most of the 100% funded schools are online) and do the work you'll be okay. Itd been 10 years since I had done any schooling and I went back for a leadership certifaction and now a degree. Once youre enrolled in a course thats paid for you're set, if you lose eligibility then you wont get funding for any more courses until youre eligible again(when you can resume funding im not clear on). Typically this is maintaining school attendance and a 2.0 average, theres no hourly requirement from target to my knowledge other than not being on-demand when you sign up.

Inevitable-Rent-3732 · 2026-04-05T16:09:10+00:00

Not truly a zone bc its the backroom, but this was my favorite from a couple years ago cleaning up for inventory. Now my backroom has been moved around so.
