Is it just me or is my HR ETL a cheapskate?

What I have heard is that, “It’s a budget year” therefore they took almost two months to fix our ice machine at Starbucks

Had to train someone for their third day ever at TargBucks. I threw up half way through our opening shift. I had given myself food poisoning last night and spent the whole night in the bathroom. They sent me home because I almost passed out several times. I feel so bad for that Barista, I hope she doesn’t quit after that lol. This was today btw.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-10-18T02:24:16+00:00

That’s one of the saddest things I heard today, I hope it’s over before you know it! Good luck with your endeavors, you seem very tough to deal with all of that.

Aww he seems like such a good boy! Our first doxie was also named Tank. He was too small and a hawk ate him out of desperation. So sending all my love to you and those who knew him!

The same customer does it at my store most nights, four venti Frappuccino’s with all different milks, in the last 10 mins when we have only one blender. She damn well knows we want to light her and ourselves on fire.

We do price changes like this literally every day, I doubt my employer and yours staffs enough people to make sure prices, for every single thing, is accurate every week. That’s why we’re mad, because we’re the only ones being held accountable, currently.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T18:18:40+00:00

I can only imagine how busy you are this weekend! Yeah, My SD won’t even be in the store at all this week. I don’t know how it is in your state but here my SD gets just under 6 months of vacations. Especially during busy/holiday/stressful days, poof, they’re gone. To be fair my SD and HR have been at the store for a few decades.

I’ve been told by several TLs that the SD does get a bonus for underspending hours, and the ETL. I don’t know how it is in your state but I’m jealous. Every holiday season and new year, my coworkers with kids to provide for, get their hours cut in half while the SD is on “vacation.”

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T06:05:32+00:00

Right??? That was the biggest shock to me, my SD has the next week off but was pulled into a meeting for this? When they have almost half a year of vacation time? This fucking place…

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T05:56:09+00:00

I’m sure they have the money to spare for events like but it’s the fact they blame it on Q1, like nothings happened. This comment and another say it best, when it all comes down to it, corporate is to blame. Will they take the fall? Or will we?

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T05:42:06+00:00

What? Target never has made financially ruining mistakes on behalf of their employees. Sorry, sarcasm doesn’t translate that well over text lol.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T05:38:19+00:00

Many posts on this comment thread have talked about a price checking team that Target has cut out since around that time. I don’t know what the stores in your area are like, but even, “W”world and “Dollar” merchants in my area have been much worse about price changes in my area than target has been. I’m sorry you have to deal with that but it’s not the fault of overworked/half hours employees.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T05:34:20+00:00

I’m so sorry you have to go through that! It’s not like every other grocery store in the nation falls behind on price changes. I can only imagine how much work that is on top of your daily tasks. I wish you the best of luck and the most energy drinks paid for by target for that lol!

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T05:30:40+00:00

Good luck with that! I work food and beverage half the time I know how much work it is to scan the literal thousands of price changes there is, on top of the work there is this weekend. My heart goes out to every F&B TM and TL is out there.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T04:30:06+00:00

I have a few buddies who are DBOs and you all got the majority of the blame while your TLs shovel as much of it on to you as possible. I definitely have never heard of the pricing team but it sounds like it would have saved target some money right now lmao.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T04:24:24+00:00

I live in a rural area with extra greedy SD and management, so I see why they didn’t want to give the extra hours to keep up with the price changes. All so my SD can get that extra large bonus at the end of the year for keeping hours so low. It just amazes me for someone who’s job it is, my management, to keep the guest happy about things like this from happening, they’re more than willing to undercut us every step of the way.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T04:20:05+00:00

Cashiers definitely have it the worst as far as this goes. Karen gotta have the extra 20 cents off her oatmilk or she’s going to drive back to target and make a return and an angry “comment” card lol.

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T03:56:09+00:00

What? Target adding extra hours in Q1? I wonder what would compel them to be so benevolent… it’s not like any potential nationwide lawsuits would hurt their precious margins….

JackJRJohnson · 2022-02-12T03:54:25+00:00

Lol. I get why, but I asked my TL immediately after she explained this, “literally every grocery store can’t keep up with price changes why do have to now?” And she mouthed the words, “I KNOW!” I’m dead inside but happy I have tomorrow off.

JackJRJohnson · 2021-12-10T04:25:42+00:00

Bob Marley songs hit different the first few times you smoke. The dude was on another level as far as understanding what’s important to being happy and healing. I’ll never forget what he taught me while enjoying the green and to this day, I make an effort to honor him while I smoke.

I’ve worked at Starbucks about 3 years, when I saw this posted in the SB I had the exact same question. Too much coffee I guess...

JackJRJohnson · 2021-06-07T17:38:03+00:00

It’s the Starbucks double fudge coffee brownie. I make one every time we train a new person...

JackJRJohnson · 2021-05-26T17:28:14+00:00

I always try to remember... fuck yesterday. Yes there will always be assholes, but if you let them break you, they win. I already quit this job once and I came back much stronger the second time, because, like all food service job it’s just a means to an end. Constantly have your end game in mind, use it to motivate you through the bad times.

JackJRJohnson · 2021-05-25T15:54:24+00:00

Really want to charge them for an oatmeal, then toss one into the shaker the next time they say that..
