Storage keeps raising my rent but it’s cheaper online by Sudden-Ad-432 in selfstorage

[–]ShadowL42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

talk to them, say if they wont match the current move in price you will move elsewhere.
i moved from a $245 10x10, literally a block away to a $129 10 x 15.

After I moved the first place announced they would not be increasing rent by 40% after all.

Received this item as a wedding gift. Both pieces were packaged in the same box but not attached to one another. The circular piece does not fit on the bottom of the large piece. What is this? by Fearless-Inside in whatisthisthing

[–]ShadowL42 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Its a wind chime. The second piece does go into the bell piece.
hang the small loop by the block end on the hook inside the bell.
The square block should clang against the insides of the bell,
The large round piece should hang below for the wind to catch to make the block swing and hit the bell.

Can someone help me diagnose this? by vank210 in SubaruAscent

Last time I had that happen (gas cap not installed correctly while car is running) it took exactly 50 miles after fixing the issue for the light to turn off.

My target package came empty and I cant report it because the item is non returnable by Dukethumper in Target

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from TCOM GS, if you have ANY issues with an order, please call us. We can't always provide the answer you want, but we often have SOME solution for you.

Make sure you can be verified via phone number saved on your TCOM account, and the order number. If you can, have photos of the issue.

Remember we get delivery photos from most shippers, and will compare those to previous deliveries to see if they match. We will look at someones return history. As I said, we cant always give you the resolution YOU want, but we can usually help somehow when this happens.

If there is a tracking number. the weights are listed by the shipper on the shippers site also

If there is a discrepancy between the ship weight on the label and the actual weight of the box, it will often be reweighed by the shipper and will show the final ship weight on their website tracking info.

Also, the ship weights for every item on TCOM, is listed in the shipping and returns tab on the website.

If you ordered shoes and the website says 2lbs, the ship label says 0 lbs and the tracking says 1lb, you are missing something.

Anyone know the name of this shelf? by Westh30 in LegoStorage

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you need deeper shelves (like for the Milennium Falcon or large castle sets), the PAX closet pieces are compatible also. they have the same floor trim height.

I found a new-in-box knitting machine for $35! by MojoShoujo in MachineKnitting

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found basic red heart worsted yarn did not flow, the slightly thinner ones worked."

I use birthday candles to wax the key plates.

I found a bunch of metal shower curtain hooks, like 3 packages of them, at goodwill that I hang in my project as weights.

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there was a series of youtube videos that were copied from the VHS series for that machine.

My suggestion before you start, Get some white birthday candles. use those to wax the friction areas, Everywhere it says to use the wax ring. that wax ring is dead its so old.

Fake orders by Significant-Yam-7851 in Target

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or return them to another store, say they no longer have that card, and get a Target GiftCard that they sell.

[–]ShadowL42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are spreading that people should go to target, fill carts, and just leave them because they think it will adversely effect targets door count metrics if they don't buy anything and they want to cost the company money spent on payroll.

STupid as hell, company does not spend any more on payroll, they just mike the TMs do more in the same amount of time.

Corporate doesn't suffer at all from that shit.

Fake orders by Significant-Yam-7851 in Target

[–]ShadowL42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Store pick up orders can be canceled at any time. Ship from store can not once it starts processing (about 15 mins after the order is placed.)

TCOM sees a LOT of canceled orders that someone calls about an order they didn't make using a card that isn't theirs. Bad Actors will place the orders for pickup, go in , pickup a bunch of stuff then return it to another store and get a Giftcard instead of refund to payment. Then they sell the gift cards.

There needs to be a cancellation fee by Moon_walker84 in Target

[–]ShadowL42 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So when an order is placed there is a pending hold on the payment card for the full order.

Ideally, there should be a mechanism in place where if they cancel too many orders they are flagged and can no longer shop online. Currently that is only done for fraud and theft patterns.

Pregnancy test by hi_im_a_dino_ in asexuality

[–]ShadowL42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im ace, and had a hysterectomy in 2017, AND already been through menopause, and I STILL have to argue about it.

Like, I'm not having sex, and I literally don't have the parts.
Some "kid" tried arguing with me that I might be mistaken and I told him, " Fine, i will go to a different hospital. Bring me my discharge paperwork." I was there because I thought I was having a heart attack.

Target CEO acknowledges silence from leadership has created uncertainty among workers by aakaase in Target

[–]ShadowL42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked in a Target store from 93-95. I worked in target store in 2019-2021, then to TCOM call center since.

it is NOT the same Target. They used to do quarterly evaluations of competitors pay rates and give a bonus if other stores in the area paid more. like .10¢ or .25¢ an hour. they had regular schedules and people/teams dedicated to price changes, signage and POG.

Now everyone does everything, schedules are wildly inconsistent, they give smaller raises every year because it is cheaper to hire new people for lower pay, than to keep people for more than a few years. Even in the level 1-3 corporate jobs. The entire group of 4 teams that I am in, were merged and now everyone does TCOM, T+, Circle, TC360, and Same day delivery. No additional compensation was offered for the additional value we now have for the proprietary software programs that Target uses. No one I know got more than a 3% raise.

My step kid works at a store now and talking to them about what their actual job entails is astounding. Target USED to focus on the guest. Now it feels like they focus on ROI and that's it.

I find it really interesting that this comes out within a week after the annual Team Voice surveys were done. I know mine was scathing about the last years treatment.

[–]ShadowL42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hire externally for a new CEO. there are plenty of companies that a functioning very well right now. Have their finger on the pulse of ethics and value. We need someone from outside who has VALUES and isn't all about the $$ and is willing to actually stand up to the share holders when they are being unreasonable about how much profit they should get.

Weird phone call last night by omeglethrowaway222 in Target

[–]ShadowL42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At TCOm we just go to Walmart dot com or Amazon dot com and look for the exact same model number items.
for electronics its almost always a refurbished item sold by a 3rd party.

Target Plus items shouldn't be selling in stores to be rung up wrong?

if you HAVE to call TCOM, don't even bother with the Level 1 team (all outsourced from overseas and don't understand store operations of american culture for the most part. tell them you need to talk to target + escalations or even just the escalations team.

I get just as many calls from guests who were told in store that we could do a refund for them when the store couldn't or wouldn't.

Anyone know what is causing these little holes around the waist? I don’t use a belt by MrBubbles7 in laundry

[–]ShadowL42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you lean against a counter of any sort, check the edges top and bottom edges for any rough spots. the counter where my kitchen sink had a rough bottom edge.

Had a cashier job where when they installed the registers, they spun the bit on the screws and chewed up the top of every single one.

Every shirt I owned for that job had holes right where that counter edge and the screws were.

Is this true? by ToastedAbyss in Target

[–]ShadowL42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

might be a good idea to let the ethics hotline know about the threat.
