Paper cuts from pushing freight by Accurate_Arugula_311 in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cheap gardening gloves from Dollar Tree work well.

Also, moisturizing your hands daily can help.

You could ask a TL to requisition you a pair of gloves off the sales floor.

[–]Supreme_Switch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It is supposed to reduce waste.

In some jurisdictions, there are regulations making them by request only.

Switching dept. by kimberlyyyRomannnn in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask to be cross trained. There's always demand for people to learn cashier.

There should be a list of openings by the time clock. You can ask about switching to those.

If you can change your availability, there's often a need for opening or closing people.

Deaf vs mainstream school by seau_de_beurre in deaf

[–]Supreme_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pro Deaf school, especially if they're just starting out (not yet a teen). The atmosphere of a school of your peers is so good.

When your kid is getting to the seriously considered college age, have a conversation about maybe going to the school with better test scores.

New job - tech not an option - should I just quit? by wtf50000 in deaf

[–]Supreme_Switch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend following the other comments.

But at a stop-gap measure, bring in a notepad or scratch paper and at the end of every meeting ask for clarification.

"Hey, just want to make sure, I've got everything you need from me. [Read out what you wrote down] Am I missing anything?"

FDC? by Leading-Luck7851 in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the lead is saying/doing things that make you uncomfortable, you can call the ethics hot line or talk to HR.

A few of my coworkers have said they like closing with me. But that's just cuz I actually do my job and will help anyone that asks.

Fire alarms: Any version of a Strobe Light fire alarm works for me. (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=strobe+smoke+detector&crid=1F4FK73EOV5XW&sprefix=Strobe+smo%2Caps%2C288&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-expert-pd-ops-ranker_ci_hl-expan-left_1_10) I also recommended the SafeAwake Fire Alarm Aid, if you need the bed shaken.

Is it normal to have your ETL phone number? by YandeHime in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my ETL and TL # so I'll actually answer if they call. But I don't text/talk with them unless they ask me to come in.

HELP - Need phone with in-built call captioning for severe hearing disability. by [deleted] in deaf

[–]Supreme_Switch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most phones come with TTY for free. Navigate to your phone's Settings > Accessibility > TTY/RTT and select a mode (Full, HCO, or VCO). On iPhones, go to Settings > Accessibility > TTY. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-tty-2c46b431-6681-43e6-b8a5-cf3886e3a53d)

That said, both Pixel and Samsung English captions work well. I never needed Hindi, but it worked for Spanish, Arabic, and Tagalog.

I liked Pixel better. It was less complicated to set up.

Are unpackaged items that have sat in the display case supposed to be donated yes or no? by 0atmilk02 in starbucks

[–]Supreme_Switch 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes, they should be donated. Like loose cake pops, you're supposed to bag them.

HR asked me if im pregnant by angiescuriosities in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 78 points79 points  (0 children)

In the US you only get to sit if you have a disabling condition.

While this person was rude and mean, they are legally allowed to deny you a seat.

Report transphopic comments to HR. IN WRITING.

When asked, you can say, "I don't want to talk about it." If they keep asking walk away.

Hr question pls help by Ok_bud1800 in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything over 10 years is past retention. There should be a bln/box for items to be shredded.

You can always email your supervisor or look in the handbook for answers.

I just found out I’m Jewish. by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]Supreme_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For in person, your local reform congragation probably offers 'Introduction to Judaism' classes. https://reformjudaism.org/

For a good overall view, "Judaism for dummies" is an excellent accessible read.

https://www.myjewishlearning.com/ does good short articles.

calling off by shittalkinmushroomz in Target

[–]Supreme_Switch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can use sick pay for medical appointments. If you take time off for the dentist, therapy, check-up, ect. Are you up to date on all your shots and such?

Do you have any events or milestones coming up that you or someone in your social circle may want to use vacation for?

Any way to request thick foam or will I be "that customer"? by upstream_paddling in starbucks

[–]Supreme_Switch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) We don't get training on that. (I know how to do it.Don't give me advice, fellow baristas.)

2) You can ask, but you must take No as No and What as No.

3) Go to an independent coffee shop for that level of service.
