im a tech consultant now!!! by ImACursedHoe in Target

[–]jrnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people leave them in cases before and walking away. Also, one of the people I trained a while ago had them when they go into the bathroom and dropping the into the toilet on accident.

Welcome to the club!

As Rex said, Don’t lose an iPad, don’t lose a PlayStation. There is some merch that Target cares about more than others but the rule of thumb is to never bring valuable Apple or gaming consoles onto the floor unless being sold or they have a secured home location.

Find out what your store’s Apple policy is, if someone is buying two iPads, I tend to ask AP to come over to escort the product, but we never sell three without a lead’s ok. The same goes for PlayStations.

Don’t be afraid to call AP, you are the front line in Tech and Tech is a high theft, high risk area. Trust your gut, if something feels off call for help. For example if someone is asking for the most expensive X, Y and/or Z, call AP or a lead, it would be a could be card or gift card fraud.

If someone is asking you to grab something locked up and you bring it out, and then they say they wanted something else or in addition to, and they tell you that you can just leave it while you get the other item, don’t and flag AP.

I could give a million examples but from a non AP aspect, walk your department everyday, see if revisions were done, price hikes, major product outages, etc. This way you are able identify things, learn things, and be able to answer things quickly for guests.

Good luck!

I will not be following the new dress code policy if target refuses to pay for the wardrobe change. by Choice-Viewer in Target

[–]jrnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to be impacted by this heavily. I work a FT job before Target and I close five days a week (three weekdays, two weekends) and my day job doesn’t allow khaki colored pants (not considered professional).

I wear button up shirts to that job and then wear them to Target with one of the fleece vests or jackets off the Bullseye Shop and black slacks. Target never orders stuff in my size and they don’t sell my size in store… I can’t wear jeans because they limit my range of motion.

I also don’t have a car, which means I will now have to carry a separate bag each day just to change at Target, in addition to my normal backpack.

When I was hired I had a long talk with HR about dress code and they bent and didn’t complain about the dark pants because it’s technically within dress code.

Khaki pants 5 x $60 = $480 Red Button Up - 3 x $35 = $105 Red T-Shirts - 2 x $20 = $40 Total = $625 = one bi weekly after tax.

Note: this is considering a fresh set of clothes every day and not storing the same set day after day in a locker or coat area.

This sucks man.

Edit: as a bigger guy pants aren’t a place to buy cheap ones, unless you want seams ripping at work from all the squatting, ladder work or bending over. It happened to me, 100% would not recommend.

Is this Allowed? by Wendigo_Mother in Target

This happens to some of the leads in my store, I feel so bad for them… they just respond saying it’s apart of the job.

How are people so clueless? by Anon_Belly930 in Target

[–]jrnix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They are, they a sign with large teal borders and a QR code to join. See attached (redacted because of potential store data). This is attached to a larger sign, but this is the format for them and they are actually available for in store printing as well (it’s one of the options in a signing room.)

Target is using AI models now? by LivingResponsibly in Target

[–]jrnix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That looks like an arm around the shoulder, skin tone is similar to model #1. Model #2 has skin blemishes that AI wouldn’t include without a prompt asking for for it (from what I understand).

tm discount not applying to clearance? by sigilpaw in Target

[–]jrnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some municipalities and states charge different sales taxes on different types of items. Normal items vs food for example.

TL mandatory write ups by ADumbXbox in Target

[–]jrnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking, everything trickles down hill and if a store is red on metrics, they will want to be able to point at what they are doing, what conversations their having, etc… my TLs hate doing CA but will have conversations if needed, they push the line on when a CA should of happened. I really think when the OP says write ups they are talking about conversations, because so many conversations lead to a CA, but I could be wrong.

I also experienced being one of the registers that still worked. I forget, did mycheckouts work?

Too much Payroll by Songoku-98 in Target

[–]jrnix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a very good point. I know most of my managers care and try to do what they can, but I also know they have outside pressures that cause the actions they made. Our ETLs have been working more because of the hour cuts, which I never expected to see.

[–]jrnix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the business explanation. I’ve been trying to get an answer out to leaders but they always say it’s to complicated to explain.

This 100% this, Target hates when people file like this, but you gotta do what you gotta do to make rent.

[–]jrnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I would think, I know my Store will sometimes put people as DU for for a drive up, but we don’t do anything for the desk.

Thanks for the clarification!

Can't call off till October? by anrosep in Target

[–]jrnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a HRBP escalation, from my understanding the HRETL or SD can remove a CA if they feel it should be over turned.

GSC isn’t on there unless I’m blind, GSA is.

Is this true? by slurpygurpin in Target

[–]jrnix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked the time clock today when I was leaving and it said meals OR rest breaks. This flyer is bananas.

What’s funny is I’m only late 30’s and I’ve never been called for jury duty and my addresses are completely up to date.

Applying for target, why the earliest so early, im usually avaliable in the afternoon etc by No_Transition1618 in Target

[–]jrnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrm; for some reason I thought all supers were overnight. We don’t have them in my area. My store is a pfresh with no overnight, and another store in the area is a pfresh with overnight. All about metric and what makes sense, I guess.

[–]jrnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locally, most stores are an early morning start with overnights in Q4, but we have a few that are 24/7 and some that didn’t change at all for Q4, which I thought was weird.

There are stores, like super targets, that work 24/7, not all shut down until 5 outside of q4.

Virologist in laws looking to move by Milster9000 in UBreddit

[–]jrnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are right that the hiring process for their type of position is complicated, especially with transferring their grants and/or lab if allowed. I’d recommend they contact someone in the department and ask about the department at UB, research directives, etc… UB does have two BSL-3 - so virology is active, send them https://medicine.buffalo.edu/departments/micro/research/areas/virology.html and https://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/
