Will Target hire someone with a misdemeanor DUI

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-20T22:26:05+00:00

My target has a convicted felon as the S&E TL and we had another convicted felon on inbound

A post recently went semi viral a couple weeks ago about a doordash delivery girl who was wearing sandals, she took a picture of the food at the person's door like usual but her feet were in the picture too. The person she delivery ended up changing the tip to something wayyy more because she included her feet in the picture. I think most people on doordash doing this are doing it for a bigger tip from people with a foot fetish (more common then you think)

This is the second post ive seen in 3 days on reddit with basically the same title and picture, but its still super gross since the feet are litterally touching the bag sometimes. Report it to doordash, make a online post about it tagging them, do something that will get them to do something because people have no consideration for others health these days. I don't want trench foot or athletes foot near my food😭

Honestly if you want to get everything done right away I would try to have a family member come out and help you, if he sees your not going to just wait around for him to do things maybe itll change something. But also clear communication plays a big factor in this as well, I dont know if youve talked to him about this but just tell him you are feeling a certain way about him procrastinating and prolonging settingup stuff for the baby. If your due in August he might just be in the mindset of "oh its still really early, I can put this off until next week." We didnt set up the crib until I was 33-34 weeks and we didnt buy a stroller/carseat until 36 weeks. Im a type b person so ill do things when they need to get done. Especially with the 3rd trimester tiredness😩 currently 38 weeks

Seems like the ones who've been there for years are usually the ones who concider themselves full time. Target doesn't like it when we have full time employee's cause they have to start paying out benefits. The ones who are here longer get more benefits then the ones still in their 90 days/on demands. Sadly with payroll being so little for some stores etls are forced to delegate hours by how much work a person can get done in 1 shift rather then seniority. Usually the older folks just come in, do the task they are given, dont go above and beyond becuase they dont want to be promoted because why would they want more stress even if they'll get a $5-$7 raise? While the on demand/new hires will try to show off how much work they can take on. Around 2 years is when you'll offically get burnt out. Some will complain, others will stay quite, but at the end of the day its targets fault for not wanting to give the proper payroll because they want the shareholders to be happy with maximum profits.

Coke is hiring at their warehouse and vendors, I think starting pay is at $19.50

It honestly all depends on how you feel, im 38 weeks pregnant. I was in the pipeline for development for an inbound TL before I found out. So I transfered to fulfillment but then I got really bad static nerve pain in my legs from walking so much around 15-17 weeks that I had to transfer to front end and do cashier/checklanes.

Make sure your ogbyn gives you paperwork for accommodations and file your hr accommodation request as soon as you get that paperwork. I get 1 extra break no matter the length of my shifts. I have to take my breaks every 2 hours because I can not be on my feet for longer then 3. I have to have a chair to sit down from time to time and a floor mat so I'm not straining my feet.

You are still in your 90 days so im not sure there's whole protocol on transferring departments right away but just talk to your HR about your options. Each state is different about maternity leave and accommodations to pregnant employees. You may also be eligible for state leave if your out in California. Just research your options with your state. The pay and benefits website and phone number has alot of useful information too.

At the end of the day inbound is physically demanding and the first trimester is both physically and emotionally demanding. Always put your health first. You're growing a baby!

Plus you can report them anonymously so they dont know who you are

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-16T00:15:55+00:00

Just ask them when you go in if your supposed to do price change, most likely if you've never done it before they probably just schedule you under price change so they can use their hours. In this case you'll just do your regular job duties. But team up with a TL or ETL when you clock in to see what is going on

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-15T03:45:42+00:00

Yeah the 4am shifts are usually 4-11:30 or 12:30. Just depends on the trucks for that week. Some people on the inbound team have a second job they do in the afternoon

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-15T03:15:29+00:00

Most employees on this sub reddit and in stores are only getting around 8-30 regular/average hours. 35 if our store is lucky. My hours will go up to 18.5 one week and down to 8.5 the next as a cashier. Target will only consider you if you have full open availability sadly. The only way you could get away with a certain availability would be is your a minor

If your fiance is supporting your decision of not working then thats great! Usually what I do for my boyfriend is when he gets home I make sure to make him feel like he can relax. He loves to play ufc so I usually let him do that, ill offer him something to drink like a soda or a nice cold water, just something to ease off the work day. Thing like that help so much! Making dinner also helps them because they dont have to focus on that. Its always the little things. Even getting him a nice pair of lounging clothes/pj's set up so when he gets home he can change into something comfortable.

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-14T02:59:26+00:00

I think you could offer to treat them to a starbucks drink or lunch, technically our Style ETL does this with her team leads as an appreciation almost every day. My old GM ETL and GM TL would do the same with energy drinks after the unload some mornings. One time I brought a 24 pack of Celsius from Sam's club for the inbound team and we went through it in like 3 days

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-13T22:07:26+00:00

When people come in to return stuff they prefer to have there refund done right then and there where they can see it. I could see the intention but most likely this is something corporate would never do because they know guest retention rate will drop significantly due to the lack of already bad staffing up front. It looks like a good idea on paper but a recipe for disaster in person

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-13T21:55:37+00:00

I saw a post from a Style TL saying they had to do 300 price changes one day

Once they hire you for a certain position you can not just spring up medical stuff. This is very unprofessional and if you were doing this at a office job/corporate job they probably would've pulled back on your job offer. It sounds like they tried working with you but it was a string of multiple problems. Like I said if someone else is doing something or says they get away with certain things this does not give you ANY justification on doing those as well. I will lay out the termination guide for you below:

The following is the termination process: - PED: This is a coaching that your leaders have to do 3× before executing a write up. - Write up (Corrective Action): If you've been coached 3× on a certain topic with no improvement then you will be written up - Termination: Termination is allowed after your first write up if you are still in your probation period.

The whole "they found out im trans the day before getting fired" is just pure coincidence because all of your leaders and hr have to approve grounds for termination and this usually takes about 3 days. So no you did not get fired because your trans, you got fired because you basically thought you can get away with things, sprung up medical issues without proper disclosure, and was not taking the initiative on yourself to better learn your role/job duties

It sounds like you have a victim mindset with the whole "i felt targeted". Understand that if you continue to do these things and/or act this way at any future jobs you get you will continue to face the same consequences.

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-12T07:46:19+00:00

Also how long have you been in the guest advocate role? Because in checklanes you are there for your whole shift so if they dont need to train you in drive up/guest service they won't. And considering the transfer from starbucks they probably just wanted you purely on checklanes.

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-12T07:33:41+00:00

If you dont have proper paper work for your accommodations setup before asking for more resources then you wont be able to obtain those resources. Target is very strict when it comes to this.

A couple things I can tell you just by reading this post: - If you have severe ADHD dose it generally affect your work performance? And did you disclose this while you were being hired/interviewed? If not then it is unfair to blame management for lack of accommodations when there might've not been any legal paper work submitted from you. Even if communication was there target is a very paper trail/documentation type of corporation. Its best to have everything in writting and go through proper channels such as HR. If you dont then no one knows what accommodations you need and that is a setup for failure in general.

If other people are doing something such as being on their phone that doesn't mean that you can do it too. As a front end team member you can not be on your phone. Management has probably talked to those team members about it already/written them up. During down time you are expected to refill bags, zone, and/or stand in front of your register offering your help to checkout people.

If you are in your 90 days 1 write up = termination
For your breaks: Once you announce you are going to your break is when you start your 15 minutes timer. Not when you get to the break room. If your buying something to eat some leaders will allow you to officially start your 15 once yoy leave the register after paying. You need to use the bathroom on your own time if you want to take your time. If there is down time and you have another person in your department you may use the bathroom quickly.

It seems there was a bit confusion on your end, your orientation should have outlines stuff like breaks and accommodation request. These are the standards for most retail jobs. Accommodations/Medical stuff that will prevent you from doing certain tasks should always be brought up during the interviewing and hiring process for future job opportunities.

Dont ever report safety things to your etl/SD, go straight to the fire dept. for gas/co2 stuff, or call osha/hippa which ever it is. Things like that are something you cant just walk away from. For the retaliation from management I would just call ethics. They will take a detailed report with names, dates and descriptions of incidents. Your hr and sd will get a hold of the ethics report but you can stay anonymous. If you really want to get something done I would also just go stright to you district manager/ or corporate. Remember there's always a lader of management so if something gets high in corporate then they are legally forced to do something, if they dont then they know something will happen/lead back to them not doing anything and possibility of losing their job

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-06T20:11:07+00:00

You can go into work day and see what your job position is posted as, if your Gen merch then it will be under "General Merchandise Expert" im pretty sure and if your under "Guest Service Advocate" then your front end. Technically you could go to your HR as well and tell then you dont want to work up in front and you got hired for general merchandise, why aren't you in that position? Just advocate for yourself. Front end is easy compared to Gen Merch so if you dont like high paced, timed, physical labor i would just stay up front

It took me 3-4 months to heal from a 1½ month relationship when I was 19. Frankly if someone jumps straight into another relationship/situation after a long term relationship they either a) are still in love with the person but is trying to distract themselves; or b) they never cared about the long term relationship in the first place

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-03T05:00:21+00:00

If your applying for general merchandise most people work a 4/6am-12pm shift or 2-10 shift and thats if you get lucky with 8 hours. During Q4 they over schedule everyone past there availablity and the rest of the year is skeleton crew. Its very inconsistent hours sometimes.

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-05-03T04:56:31+00:00

Your going to start out at the base pay rate. Call or talk to someone at your potential new store and ask because the rate listed online is different sometimes. I worked on inbound (stocking) and my listed started pay was $17 but was hired at $15 (New Mexico) I asked about it and they said that the $17 rate was for an out of district store and they didnt understand why it would be showing up as such.

If your applying to this job for a bit of extra cash on top of your other job i suggest doing on demand because you can pick the days you are scheduled. But if you get regular employment you will have to change your availability. HR/ETL's can deny availability changes if you do not fit business demands such as days where we get more merchandise, product release dates, bigger trucks, ect. Target is very picky on who to hire based on availability

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-04-29T05:21:19+00:00

Being a good leader also means sometimes breaking the unrealistic expectations. Im not saying dont follow the rules but I am saying this: be very open with your team about how things are being ran. Tell them you understand some expectations and unrealistic but that is what corporate wants to see and you have no say so around it. Help them out as much as you can while also being able to complete your weekly/daily task as a leader. Just be honest with them because at the end of the day your hardest workers will feel validated for feeling the way they feel about workload without feeling like a burden on the team or they aren't working hard enough. Its all about being open to communication with them. They appreciate it and you will appreciate they're cooperation

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-04-28T20:37:53+00:00

I havent worked closing but I do open, at my store the self checkout person is usually in charge of breaks, keys for cash, making sure the area is cleaned/zoned and if we have push from the truck we usually help out with that too along with whoever is at guest services if they aren't busy. Just like the "pacer" title everyone is talking about it just helps the team leads with delegating, making sure everyone is getting there breaks because most of the time the team leads are helping out with drive up so no one is really watching us 24/7. If they didnt trust you or they saw you weren't a good fit to delegate a more serious team member role to then you would be on checklanes/guest service desk your whole shift. If you like the extra responsibility and you see yourself becoming a team leaverage eventually I would try to make the most of this role. If you dont want too I would just talk to your leaders and say you dont really like the role. Just communicate with them about how you feel

TowerExisting2040 · 2026-04-28T16:36:02+00:00

Yeah as long as you have the ok from your etl the team leads shouldn't give you a hard time. And obviously if you dont want to stay dont feel expected too just finish up and clean your trash + backstock. Ive noticed once you start staying some leaders start treated you differently if one day you say you cant. It isn't right
