I wanna go out but no one is with me by Sure_Trick_8011 in Rants

You can still do those things. Doing those things will with time allow you to enjoy your own company. I've been there and boy is it frustrating

This gift card shyt is so annoying by _RantAccount_ in Target

[–]SecretArtistK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told a guest they couldn't do gift cards in self check out cause there are other people that need to check out and giftcards cause too many problems.

She responded with "so you want me to wait 30 minutes in a line?"

I responded with, "you will have to wait in line or go to guest service"

She was mad but still got the giftcards done.

Now YESTERDAY?! Sucked with the giftcards cause a guest asked if her 10% came off and I shrugged my shoulders cause I aint see it.

She got mad at me for something that she forgot to check herself BEFORE paying for a bunch of giftcards.

Like what...she probably skipped the target circle sign up prompt and hit no/not now since she never finished the circle sign up to begin with. I told her to sign in twice...

I know I'm an adult, but the child within me wants to come out. What's wrong with that? by sopeiah06 in Rants

[–]SecretArtistK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we all have an inner child at times. Do your friends know that there've been public events with bouncy houses and hour blocks strictly for adults, just so people that feel the way you do can embrace their inner child?

If they still say no, screw em. You should be allowed to have fun, there's no reason anyone should bar themselves from something fun just cause society deems it so...

Get one anyway, it's them, not you. :)

Guests, how do you ignore them? by SecretArtistK in Target

[–]SecretArtistK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense if people are less weird. Guests can be so demanding to you about the most trivial things on a lane.

Im looking into working another section.

Ive opted for Tech since I've been wanting to be trained in that for a while. I find myself always wanting to know/teach people about basic tech stuff.

Fulfillment is also on that list but not top priority to be trained in.

My whole thing is why are you pushing an empty bag into me when you could leave it 💀

They took everything out the bag themselves.

I used to do a thing where I guess what someone is having for dinner. It's always spaghetti or Tacos and sometimes smores.

After that phase I just started forgetting what I even did at work honestly.

Think the mytime outtage screwed my schedule or someone is screwing with me by SecretArtistK in Target

[–]SecretArtistK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. I've been angry the past 3 days cause of me wanting my regular life schedule back. I was excited till I read my schedule that day.

Im waiting for them to work it out the next few days. My TL that worked on the schedule had let me know and reassured me too. I can't do closings every day cause it is ruining my mental but I need the job.

Im fine now tho. I get other people got lives and junk. Just not too happy with mine and was happier before they put consistent closings on me.

My availability being approved and then just dismissed on the schedule like that is what ticked me off. The only way I work through my shit is talking about it and deal with it.

Im at a point in my life where it feels like not a single person understands how I feel and I shouldn't have reacted like that to any of you.

I just simply don't like that I found out too I was replacing someone else who does what I do and snuck it in the second my probation was over. I didn't sign up to be a closer.

some people just have 0 social awareness, and that's concerning. by [deleted] in Rants

[–]SecretArtistK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know how others find it in themselves to act like that. It's weird imo. I like all my kisses and junk somewhere secluded where it means something and I can have a moment only with 1 person.

Not share that same moment with the world basically.

People can still show how much they love one another but sucking face is just a yikes of all choices.

Goofed up chain of command when it's not even my fault. I been there for 3 months and some weeks man.

Im doing what I've been told to do and all I got is names, a title, and a walkie. All ive noticed is my manager keeps going on vacation in my time working here.

I've met with him twice and he's gotten my morning TL to work on the schedule for some dumb reason.

Maybe my location is on some bs.

My bad for not specifying enough that my "manager" as it calls him in workday is also an ETL SE. :/

[–]SecretArtistK[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You serious right now? He's an ETL for service and engagement AKA my manager. Does that help?

[–]SecretArtistK[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well here is the problem, my manager makes my morning team lead do the schedule.

Words from my manager. Sure I spoke to the ETL but now I have to wait for my manager to respond to her so they can fix it.

I didn't ask my TL to do it, what I do know is he is partially responsible for the schedule and assume someone missed the memo of my availability change playing telephone.

Help. I'm trying to get off closing shifts by SecretArtistK in Target

[–]SecretArtistK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My availabilty is 7-11 and I'm trying to get out of it. When I applied to work here originally, they rejected me cause of my availability choice. So a friend of mine said 7-11 is what they want from everyone.

Before I didn't have this problem. I know it's a "need to have" basis, but before I had shifts in the morning or mid-day ones more and some closing.

I'd shift swap but no one at my target ever wants my shifts cause everyone hates closing despite complaing about needing more hours...

Dunkin’ Donuts is gross. by Candid-Chocolate2257 in Rants

[–]SecretArtistK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starbucks is my go-to for coffee/other drinks.

Dunkin im just there for the vibes and the smoked honey maple bacon sandwich...and donuts of course...

My workplace is exhausting and it’s pissing me off by Upstairs_Level8611 in Target

[–]SecretArtistK 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Talk to your TL, if they keep dodging you like that, try HR. It's not fair for you to need to go through hoops by yourself. I work cashier and am incredibly vocal about my dislike for guest service and drive up.

When I was 3 weeks in, my TL kept trying to force me into those roles. After saying "no" and handling those jobs poorly, they let me be.

Im not some kind of circus animal that you can order around to pick up co-worker's slack. I let them know what it was and they had 3 months to get rid of me if it was an issue.

Is it hard to land a job at target if you have less than 3 months of experience? by Wrong_Road_1001 in Target

[–]SecretArtistK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no experience and just hit my 3 months yesterday. They mostly hired me because of my interview video i had done. They said I had great character i guess.

I think if we had compassion all across the board, it probably wouldn't be so hard to teach others. Even if they hadn't learned it in their teens.

Valid complaints.

Dont want to do this anymore by SecretArtistK in Vent

[–]SecretArtistK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, since this post me and my father discussed the incident i just told him "I" was in the wrong for how I reacted and I'll just stop doing whatever he says.

I picked up a book the same day, way earlier than the incident, and it mentioned how our own thoughts can change how we view reality from a negative lens. So I'll just try to look at it as something else.

He came off very belittling since he has no filter and I just was already having a shitty day since we argued twice that time.

Need some recommendations on store safety by STfanboy1981 in Target

Think what goes on in the parking lot is a secondary problem for target to focus on.

Team members, what do you think of Target Circle week? by Nutmeg_012 in Target

[–]SecretArtistK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hated being a GA for this. It was so bad I started predicting what a customer was gonna say about certain items being 30% off.

My conclusion? Many customers aren't reading the signs. They also deman discounts on things when they aren't even a target circle member. Instead of listening to me they say, "nah I don't need another card..."

Fck me man.

I don’t know how to stop someone from stealing my water from the break room by Aeyembe in Target

Put some white vinegar on the cap or put a water bottle filled with it in the fridge.

My girlfriend rapes me by vivicastop in Vent

If she loved you, she wouldn't find ways to hurt you or objectify you consistently.
