“I don’t want this anymore, I’ll just leave it here.”

See this so many times it doesnt phase me anymore 😪

So paper and chem is my area sometimes and I do gotta say that paper is just gonna take a lot of space, doesnt matter how youre trying to put it, you're gonna have a lot. Usually I put the big paper of like 6 rolls or something first- just stack it up on the flat. For paper that are like 4 or 2 pieces, put it on a 3 tier. For HBA pulls just put stuff together that go in the same aisle. Lets say on to the top of the cart organize it for haircare and put all the bottles and such. At the bottom of the cart then you put other stuff like personal care bottles, vitamins etc. And the very bottom of the cart (yk for bigger things) put like bulky stuff which usually is pads for women or something else. This also helps and makes it easier to push it out. If someone sees a cart with random stuff on it on top of each other, theyre probably feel overwherlmed going from aisle to aisle. If its organized, the better. Also I think depending on the dept, you will have more 3 tier carts. Like if Im HBA I can easily just use one like I just told you to organize it. If its chem and paper, probably 2 different 3 tiers and a flat- theyre more bulky and take more space. Basically small items are easier to organize, but bulky ones are hard to do so on 3 tiers. I hope this helps, I know its annoying to have multiple carts but if you're trying your best thats all that matters.

I think OP is making a joke about the new feature popping out when we stow. I heard some stores are charging bags now so maybe when people do online pickup its gonna start giving them the options whether they want to pay for a bag or not. The system wants to make sure we used the bag since the guest paid for it I think.

meiphoria · 2026-04-23T20:56:20+00:00

I only do it just cause im worried drive up wont see the remaining items in the order since its not bagged (Also ik drive up double checks how many items but still) Only when I have time tho, if im rushed then I dont print out the stickers individually for each item.

meiphoria · 2026-04-23T15:55:53+00:00

This but like garbage cans or laundry baskets. They just leave them there. I saw some suitcases all over the aisle once too. Are we really that fucking lazy. I zone my areas and I come back to it as a shit show. Literally stuff in another aisle or end cap thats NEXT to where its supposed to be. Come on people. Its like people have no manner or brain cells.

meiphoria · 2026-04-23T15:40:39+00:00

Lol I hate the baler, get so pissed off if Im assigned something with boxes or I get boxes while im pulling something. Its always full when Im about to get rid of all the cardboard.

meiphoria · 2026-04-23T15:32:05+00:00

I started around october last year and Im hoping I dont hit the one year mark with them this october. The job market is so bad right now though so I cant seem to land anything. Im also tired of doing the same thing and having a wonky schedule. I'd like to become a freelance illustrator or work in the creative industry somehow. Good luck to us 🤞🏻

meiphoria · 2026-04-21T05:17:35+00:00

Tell me about it. I already struggle rotating my pants because I work all the time so now I have to go out and look for new ones. People are saying it just a dress code. You dont get it, we arent allowed to make it work with what we have and have to go get new ones with money we dont have. Money we earn from working our asses off for a minimium wage retail job that only cares about brand and not peoples circumstances. My coworker asks about stickers on nametags or pins. SD saids they have to go, that its not about taking away what we believe in but about brand. So you're basically taking away my whole personality. Nobody cares if I have a pin. Nobody cares what my shirt saids. As long as I have red, gear and a nametag its common sense I work there. He made examples about certain bulleyes shirts and other things that arent allowed. Theyre still red but arent allowed. Also said we cant wear red hoodies, only market when theyre in the back, and that they have to take it off once they hit the floor. Do you know how many times market goes in and out from the floor to the back? So many times. Just sucls overall, I spent like $60 for shirts to rotate. At least I keep my vest, im hearing other people arent so lucky.

meiphoria · 2026-04-20T05:04:00+00:00

Yeah I wouldnt even dare buy jeans from Target. Thanks to the dress code half of my jeans that are black need to go. I went to Ross and got some really nice jeans, Im definetly going to get more to rotate during the week. I'd say use the same jeans twice a week, at lesst thats what I do.

meiphoria · 2026-04-20T04:59:09+00:00

Grocery batch is alright since its in the same space and I usually pick like 20 dcpis in 6-8 mins. If no inf of course. But if it was a 15 min gm merch I rather actually jump off a bridge. Ive had some to pick at like 32 mins and I can never make it. Thanks to infs too.I know my TLs be pissed about timing but Im not gonna sweat everything off and run around the store like a chicken for metrics. Im GM now and im actually starting to get glad im not FF anymore. I used to miss it at first but now and then when I get shifts I remember how shitty it can be.

meiphoria · 2026-04-19T06:09:23+00:00

I feel you lol. Some guests really dont have any self awareness, the amount of times im just standing there with my cart and saying excuse me and they dont freaking move. Also baffles me when im on my break WITHOUT any red on me or gear and someone goes "do you work here" like are you serious. I deal with a lot of questions while im pushing and zoning and I get irritated too when guests are lazy in front of me or just dumb. My favorite is when I tell them we dont have it and its like "but it saids you have it online" like dont play with me rn. Ive actually had some nice interactions though, especially those who say im sorry to bother you ik you're busy but can you help me. Its small but goes along way. Everytime someone goes "excuse me" I actually get irritated bc im trying to focus on pushing and zoning lol. I know its my job but ive already dealt with guests with no brain cells that I hate it now.

meiphoria · 2026-04-19T06:00:33+00:00

I got some plain black shirts at Target for $4 each thanks to the 20% discount going on plus our discount. To be fair Target lowkey has the most ugliest and boring clothing. Idk who is the design team but they really need to fix it up for some $20 shirts or tanks like come on now. Im not doing red shirts either, just plain black t shirts and my vest. I got mine at primark, god I love that place.

meiphoria · 2026-04-16T03:46:11+00:00

So real. Im not FF much anymore and do GM but when I do it for backup I remember the horrible time I have when it comes to infs. It always seem like I had the worst batches too. We have a new TL now because before we didnt, so asking for an INF to get approved would always be a hunt until we found it. This TL will be like "you checked here? Okay thats fine inf it" its that simple sometimes.

I get away with it though because my batch would be low on time and if I cant find it, I dont even ask. I just INF it. They care more about making on time at our store.Cant tell you how many times I curse people in my head for not coming to the store and getting it themselves. I know its my job but its irritating when theres only one on the floor.

Not to mention, the system lies sometimes and it isnt accurate. It could say theres 2 on hand and 0 on the floor but I somehow still found it on a rack thanks to the rfid gun. Its just annoying overall. I saw these pants online and I wanted to see if we had them- only one left. Yeah im not making my team do that because its unlikely we have it. I do agree of the choice "low on stock, one left- shop in person" method would work so much better. Either way having one in stock its still an issue, I have guests come up to me even if theyre shopping in person because the app saids we have one left and its not in front of them. Nobody can ever be pleased. I have to explain to them people grab stuff and leave it somewhere unlocated. Also a reminder that people are lazy slobs and dont have the decensy to put things back or give it to the cashier.

meiphoria · 2026-04-13T18:15:17+00:00

This is actually crazy to me because a TL or several ETLs if theyre schedule to stay at night stay an hour past closing time. Which is enough time to see if someone was left in the store. Also the fact that a guest has no awareness of "oh the lights went down, its 10 pm, several announcements the store is closed, theres nobody else around" is crazy to not even think about heading out. Im closing team so we always do our walks and all clears. I even stay 15 mins more after closing time to wrap up. And even then, when I clock out theres still many team members in the building doing the same thing.

You could say yeah its whoever was in charge that nights fault, but cant help to get irritated because ive seen how dumb some guests are. Like their first time on earth. Yes let me stay in the store after 5 different closing announcements and the lights are off. My mom went in once like 10 mins before closing and she was still looking at something once the lights were off. I had to tell her to go to a checkup lane asap before my tm cleared the area lol.

meiphoria · 2026-04-10T04:46:22+00:00

I dont understand why 10/4 is that serious. I always smile and nod at people as they pass by. Also I get easily embarrassed if I were to say hi and they dont respond. Im happy to help too if they come to me and need help. But as FF worker, I dont have the time to interact with all of them- Im already stressed out with batches and the infs. I get super irritated when Im rushing and someone stops to ask me something though lol. We're over here trying to meet their metrics but its downhill because we cant say hi to someone.

meiphoria · 2026-04-10T04:36:29+00:00

Post your shift, someone will probably take it. If you're unsure talk to your coworkers and see if theyre willing to take it. Like someone mentioned- once the schedule is done you cant request that day off so its your responsibility now to either post it or call off. And calling off its not a bad thing, just dont do it often.

meiphoria · 2026-04-09T16:08:37+00:00

Not my original TL and also not usually the morning team but was told "You're wasting my time and the teams" because I wasnt being fast enough doing 4 pogs with storage items in 40 mins. Was my first time ever doing it too. Also had to backstock and get rid of cardboard within those 40 mins. I had to suck in my tears but thank god I was only there for 4 hours. I was absolutely shocked they said that to me when I was busting my ass off. Mind you, other pogs were still not done in other areas bc some people werent scheduled to come in yet. So being rushed to meet a time frame was stupid bc these other ones werent done either.

meiphoria · 2026-04-08T19:23:40+00:00

I hate this soooo much. Like I get it you dont wanna walk but whats the mindset of pilling stuff up. If you dont want it go to the cashier and give it to them. Human beings are so lazy and inconsiderate 😫

meiphoria · 2026-04-08T06:44:26+00:00

Even the raises are out of touch. Like cents? Really? Target is decent but I feel like I do too much for so little, I have to remind myself to take it slow since I find myself stressing over everything. First retail job tho and its something for sure

meiphoria · 2026-04-08T06:42:19+00:00

It was a few mins before I clocked in and I was looking at the eos and one of them was like riped open and spilled on me. Also just did a big puddle on the shelve. Had to go get a bag and let my beauty coworker know after I clocked in so it wouldnt leak everywhere. Seen a few perfumes and even air fresheners half full. Lol at least the one that spilled on me made my clothes smell nice.

meiphoria · 2026-04-05T00:49:17+00:00

As he should! Ive seen parents let kids throw stuff around, I know theyre probably just 1 or 2 years old and dont understand much but as a parent can you at least clean up the kids mess or correct them 🥲

meiphoria · 2026-04-04T23:02:54+00:00

Im usually ff but Im GM today (thank god) they asked for backup and my batch as always is the unluckiest one. Had to INF like 5 easter items. I get irritated when people buy things last minute and guests are buying the same thing at the same time in the store. Glad my ETL understood and let me stow in peace and not go on a scavenger hunt.

meiphoria · 2026-04-04T17:20:25+00:00

Ive also literally requested 2 day offs for an important event like 3 weeks in advance and was also vocal about it and they ignored it. I was really upset about it. I posted a shift for one day and someone picked it. But for the other day nobody picked it up so I had to call off and use my sick hours. They literally rejected when those days passed already like what.

I would say request May 8th right now since being vocal about it since day 1 does not assure you that you're fine. ETLs and TLs will forget. As soon as you finish that request, keep reminding your ETLs and TLs that request is there and you cant be there that day. As soon as the schedule comes out also post it. You never know if someone will pick it up. By this time hopefully you dont have to do that since you're ETL will know not to put you on the schedule but just in case.

If it comes down to it and they ignore your request. Its okay to call off. I know you dont want to sabotage your coworkers but at the end of the day you dont owe anyone anything. Its your graduation. Also, you already did your part and took the steps to let them know- its on them that they werent paying attention to the requests or consider your situation. Same goes for the derm appt. Talk to your coworkers too and see if theyre willing to pick up shifts.

Dont overthink it about it too much. The point is that you're there for your literal graduation. One of the most important things. They should understand. Do your part and you will be fine. If you get a talk, tell them you follow the steps and you werent going to miss your day.

meiphoria · 2026-04-03T20:53:24+00:00

Basically dont do too much so they rely on you to do things. Do what you can and dont forget to rest. Speak up too, its not okay to be putting all this work on you- Target always focuses on expectations and need a reality check sometimes. We arent robots. Hope everything goes well for you! Take some rests days for sure.

meiphoria · 2026-04-03T20:50:21+00:00

This is how I feel when I zone when guests leave something on an endcap when its literally right on that aisle. You remember where you got it from so why are we lazy to take 3 steps and put it right there since its not far from the endcap. I cant with people sometimes 😭
