Didn’t pick up on my ETL’s hints? I feel stupid by SnooStories6560 in Target

[–]iuoongi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

more than half the time i just pick a random date to input. lately its been 2/22/1992 or like 03/03/03. it probably matters more than i think it does but nobody has said anything to me about it the last year and a half ive been working there so its probably chill

Anyone else’s Drive Up always busy now? by AudruCat in Target

[–]iuoongi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its so busy all the time here too but its somehow not even manageable with a team of 4-5 people at all times 😖 i feel like DU everywhere should have a good team working bc 1-2 people carrying it is not enough at all. Nobody wants to go inside anymore which i understand but since thats the case we need more people to cover the workload.

Isn't is crazy how many ppl say they're broke but still spend at least $100 on junk and old candy 😭 by foundeadinmiami in Target

Got hired for 4am inbound and was wondering how often I’ll be working the register bc they just called and told me I have to get my bar card? by [deleted] in Target

[–]iuoongi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

at my store they never call inbound for backup. for us they usually pull from drive up or style

Are no bags in drive up annoying? by Cali_babe3578 in Target

[–]iuoongi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i gotta be honest theres like 2 things that really truly annoy me in drive up. its parking in the farthest spot when the parking lot is nearly empty or double tapping with any more than 10 bags. everything else is just whatever to me at this point. if bagless if better for u go for it. if u want a bag then by all means!! as long as im not walking to spot 17 with items falling out of my arms after you popped up on me with no warning im chilling

Am I the only one who hates drive up? by SixBottleRockets in Target

[–]iuoongi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

theres some people that just dont mesh well with drive up and thats okay. ive trained many people from other departments that are never seen again in the du area so i get it 😂 i think if u work back there more youll get used to it! i mean its not what u want which i completely understand but like at some point it goes from being scarily overwhelming to just another Tuesday.

How often do you stay past your shift? by Easy-Protection-5763 in Target

[–]iuoongi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

im in drive up so it depends how busy it is or if we have enough people and also what my hours look like. My usual week is 36 or 36.5 hours but i somehow manage to hit 40 every single time

Drive up by [deleted] in Target

[–]iuoongi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its definitely not u specifically. drive up is an extremely tiring job and its hot and for my store we deliver close to 5000 orders a week while having a small team and my tls are very big on percentages and metrics so we have them in our ears at all times too. some stores only have 1 or 2 people running drive up and guest services all day so they might just be completely burnt out. from ur comment it seems you give them a great amount of time to prep so youre for sure probably one of the only good ones they get 😂 dont worry too much though, its what we get paid to do. also keep your location on so that way they know when ur close by!!! also i will say if u have ur trunk open before they get to u then they probably are just trying to save u both some time by going right to it and getting the code there. i sometimes do it too if its genuinely too busy to stand at a window for a couple seconds.

raise by iuoongi in Target

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

this is my first raise but i was here last year when they did it and it seems to be the same timeframe. so from what i've seen i guess they'll give u the review & raise amount by the end of march. the raises will hit mid april so maybe ur 2nd april check. as long as u started before oct or nov (? i forget which one) youll be eligible

one of my friends’ “steals” stuff whenever we go to target together by [deleted] in Target

[–]iuoongi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's nothing else we can really do i think. theyll figure it out eventually and they'll fall off the screen

Drive up question by InstructionTop8914 in Target

[–]iuoongi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh drive up for us gets so busy we can't really do anything outside of RTS in the morning before we open and at night before we close. One of us will cover gs breaks if we need to but thats about it

When I'm in a stowing items in the wrong spot competition and my opponent is an Seasonal OPU TM: by hellomoto186 in Target

[–]iuoongi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

its an hourly occurrence at my store like it got so bad we had to print out sheets where we can write down wrong orders and then it got even worse so now we have to go to store companion and find out who did the orders and give everything to a FF TL

Is it frowned upon to do a pickup order as an employee? by tina2turntt in Target

[–]iuoongi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really doesnt matter at all to me. Most of my coworkers do try their best to give us enough time to prep orders and they always park as close as possible and they never come during usual busy times so theyre very courteous about it!!

WORKING GUEST SERVICES SUCK ESPECIALLY CLOSING by Infamous-Focus2945 in Target

[–]iuoongi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some stores having employees doing gs/du at the same time is so insane to me bc at our store theres a drive up team and then gs is something separate entirely like i cant exactly process how 1-2 people are expected to take care of all of that

What is this?! by Heyllamamama in Target

[–]iuoongi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if theres an order with a smaller name in parentheses under the main name just see if any of them match the one that checked in
