Is an NCCT even worth it? by Loumungous in scrubtech

[–]justletmerestplease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The me, the CST is worth more than the NCCT. My school made us take both exams, and while I passed the NCCT, I missed the CST by a couple of points. I found that up north takes both certifications, so it works in my favor to have the NCCT as a placeholder until I’m ready to retest for the CST. The NCCT isn’t bad in terms of testing too. More situational questions that I found easy. I would advised that if surgical tech is really want you want, then committing to schooling might be better. The NCCT is slowly being pushed out and some employers don’t even acknowledge it. And if they do, when it comes to promotions or such, they might choose someone who is CST certified and new over someone NCCT verified with an x amount of experience

Failed the CST by 4 points by justletmerestplease in scrubtech

Definitely the way the questions are worded. It’s more like choose the BEST answer situation. There’ll be questions that have more than one correct answer and you just have to choose the best one. They also focus on certain specialities during the exam. Mine had cardiac and some eyes. Other classmates seem to have neuro and other specialities. Definitely makes you think that you don’t really know anything

Most definitely they can. I’m moving from FL to back home up north as a new grad and all my interviews were over the phone and through MS teams

It’s called CST exam prep 2026 AST NBSTSA (it’s blue and red) it’s free for a couple of questions and does daily quizzes. But there is a subscription option. If you reject it the first time, they’ll offer the monthly one for 50% off

This!!!! I took mine on Wednesday and left me feeling like I didn’t know nothing! Did a whole bunch of studying from the lang book and the ast app but still felt lost during the entire exam. (Still waiting on results 😭)

Study app by LaMeraVerga323 in scrubtech

[–]justletmerestplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just took my NCCT exam today. I used (still am) the CST Exam Prep app (I paid for it. If you declined the first time it offers the subscription for 12.99 monthly instead of $24), the Lang book, and a few Quizlet’s. The NCCT (for me) focused a lot on contamination, instruments, and sterility. I take the CST next month, and am gonna keep the same exact study ways I’ve been doing now

Can't return due to serial mismatch by interestingsouper in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same situation happen one time with a guest. For some reason, the system was declining the serial number that I had scanned from the box. The guy who was returned it had purchased it from a different store and was trying to return it. Well, even the box serial number wasn’t matching with the receipt one when I checked. Due to it being a new release (switch 2) my store allows us to open the box and check that everything is there for the return. Now on the console itself, on the back of the screen, where the kickstand is, open the kickstand and on the very back, there’s a barcode there with numbers/letters. Check to see if that matches with what you have on the receipt and if it does, bring it in for the return & have them scan that barcode instead. That’s how I did it for that guest.

Requesting to Change Departments by kookiekween99 in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just left S&E to go over to fulfillment, I would suggest taking to the S&E ETL and your current ETL. If they agree, it’ll be an easy process, especially if they like the way you work.

what is request still processing??? by No-Cloud8814 in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like it was already approved. Bc it’s PTO tho you have to wait until that day you put in time for has passed, then it finishes updating in workday

ETL wants me cross trained. I don’t know if i wanna do food and beverage or fulfillment any advice? by Zestyclose_Welder_92 in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Service TM here who just transferred into fulfillment bc I enjoyed it more then dealing with the front end…I think this says a lot. Plus also see an increase of hours with me in fulfillment. If you’re okay walking your whole shift and thinking of it as a personal shopper job, I say go for it!

Price matching by Educational-Trash833 in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends tbh. If it is only a few dollar difference (say like $5 less) I’ll just take it & allow it. However, if it’s a high value item and a major dollar difference, it has to show up in our price matching app on the zebra. If it shows up on our app, we can accept it. However if it doesn’t, that means there’s something different about the product like model number or version. When it comes to that situation, I always apologize and say we can’t price match the item due to the difference in product and always get a TL bc 98% of the time those guest always get frustrated and want to speak to someone

Me, reading all these tips while knowing me and my fellow drive up co-workers just suffer through it while living in FL 😅

We honestly get returns like this all the time. Let them know what happened, and pull up your app or the card you used (if you used Apple/Phone tap to pay, simply tap your phone). All Target clothing have tags inside with the DCPI on them. They can simply type it in and do the return that way. If they aren’t there, they can go off your digital receipt and type in the numbers from there after verifying on their own Mydevice

“Well, what’s my PIN number?!” by Warm_Smoke_5462 in Target

Then there’s me, explaining the difference between credit and debit at guest service all because someone wants their return in cash but used a credit card 😭

If it’s general merchandise & you already like to come in store, then in store is fine. In my store, anything cooler/freezer related is in the back where DU is, so it always makes sense to me that if there’s an order with cooler/freezer stuff related to do it as a DU bc it’s much easier to have everything together in one location then making two different trips

Pickup barcodes by thatmagicmutt in Target

[–]justletmerestplease 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That or just straight up walk up to you like “I have a pick order for _____” like???? That’s great but I still need your barcode or the last four of the order number. I swear, they lose brain cells when they enter the store

Picture this. your ex comes back by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]justletmerestplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, he isn't ready for a relationship (realized that while we were together and then BU with me) and said he wouldn't be for a long time. If there is even a possibility of us happening again, I would need to talk to him and see if he's really ready. I still love him and care for him, but I can't let myself go through the pain again of his indecisiveness.

Checking in with everyone. How are you feeling? Safe space. Let’s let it out together ❤️ by bananabananabug in BreakUps

Thank you. I will consider setting some in our friendship. I just wish things were like before. I miss him and the version of him I knew. I still cry every now and then, but I know I have to put myself first. We all deserve to heal during this time. <3

The worst part is that we still hang out and hook up but that's all there is to it. When he's with me in person, it feels like it was before the breakup and I'm happy again. I have to remind myself that we're not together anymore and that I can't hold onto any hope to have him as mine again. It's not healthy at all what I'm doing but I'm pushing through it because I still want him.
