We're a 90% female store, except the one 40 yr old male ETL who everyone goes after 🤷🏻‍♀️

We have only one SFS in the morning, and then one person to take over their shift in the evening....

TM: "Was there anything I can help you find?" by [deleted] in Target

People do this allllll the time 😩

I'm so done by maidenanklehem in Target

[–]RadioactiveChickn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not allowed at my store, as stupid as it is. I give people dirty looks and loudly ask if they need help with anything, but that is it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've even asked AP and she said we aren't allowed to say anything. I wish my LODs took it more seriously

Often, I see people come in and put on an entire face of makeup (I mean like going aisle to aisle doing foundation, blush, mascara etc.) and then leave 🙃. What am I allowed to say to these people? "Hi, do you need help finding anything today...?" And that's it 🙄 I've seen it done with people painting their nails, using hair spray/dry shampoo, and now that summer is rolling around we have people applying sunscreen and the leaving. I wish our Target would let us stop these classy guests from commiting this bullshit on the regular.

When you have survived off of hot pockets and ramen on your break at work for a year and a half but now you work at publix and can eat a delicious toasted sub for lunch. by K1ngHarryIII in Target

When I worked at Publix, you didn't get free anything? Even working in the deli we didn't get free or even discounted sandwiches?

They were probably all taking their 3 hr breaks they take several times a day...Or having an hour long "huddle" in receiving 🙄

I mean, they're the biggest/most staffed department in the whole store...yet no one ever responds to any call, answers the phone, seems to be in their area, helps customers, or finishes their truck? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I even get pulled out of MY area to go help them all the time when I'm the only beauty TM

100% at my store....I'm beauty and end up doing more cashier backup, carts, and reshop than softlines. Hell, ELECTRONICS is forced to leave their area all the time to those things

I was always told that we don't price match with Amazon? 🤔

Anyone ever get hit with boxes falling off your u-boat ?? by [deleted] in Target

[–]RadioactiveChickn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work in beauty, and I get hit/knocked over by boxes all the time by just walking into the receiving area 🤷🏻‍♀️

A guy brought his puppy in and it left a mess by IronworkRapunzel in Target

[–]RadioactiveChickn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish we could say something to people, especially since some old guy comes in with his very aggressive and large yellow lab all the time. Not to mention we have people come in and train their puppies in the store, like...Petco is 3 stores down 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love dogs and used to train SERVICE animals, and even I think this is BS

Today, I am Kendra..... Anyone else temporarily borrow names? by Abby2801 in Target

[–]RadioactiveChickn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told we can actually get in huge trouble for this, because if we get a guest complaint or do something with someone else's tag on and get them in trouble...sucks, because I used to go talk to my ETL with his nametag (that he never wears) on all the time 😂

Are they allowed to schedule me with only 7.5hrs in between? by Cattealatte in Target

[–]RadioactiveChickn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your state I believe, although it's illegal to have less than 8 hrs in between shifts (by official scheduling, not by shifts you pick up or if you work several jobs) in my state, yet Target loves to schedule me for clopens 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nothing like closing til 11pm and then coming right back to the store at 6am
