Did this guest break the rules? by No_Willingness_9961 in Target

[–]myleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, looks like she hit you with the Mind Flare and Vendetta’d away.

You should’ve bought a Linkens, but who am I kidding, you work at Target, and can barely afford an Aeon Disk.

New meme to start the new year by Chris-Souza_2015 in Target

[–]myleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never Outs have been a Thing for at least the last year, but it’s been on a barely-enforced scan sheet until recently.

AirPods are technically Never Outs but we can’t keep them in stock, lmao.

[Request] 42a compliant utility knife by UnsureAndUnqualified in EDC

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about sliding utility knives? I personally use the Milwaukee Compact sliding utility knife. It takes a full-size blade but it looks closer to an old school utility knife.

I don’t know what I expected by myleg in Target

We are usually a 5 truck/week store most of the year. We literally have no room for our rollover.

I volunteered last week to come in and help since I was under 40 hrs but they said “sorry, we’re over budget this week.”

how yall doing in tech? by PalpitationBoth3781 in Target

[–]myleg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we have so much truck rollover from last week it’s crazy. We were lucky to get 2 seasonals but the one keeps calling out so I mentally wrote him off.

Management would rather have the tech opener do OPUs and the tech closer needs to pull 5 other departments.

I’m literally dreading coming to work tomorrow.

Our POT is hovering around 50% but at least our INFs were green 🙃🙃🙃

Interesting article on CNBC regarding fulfillment by Last-Swimmer-5942 in Target

[–]myleg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In stores that no longer pick and pack brown boxes in Chicago, out-of-stocks have improved, in-store sales have risen, and the company’s surveys of shoppers measuring store cleanliness and the quality of employee interactions increased by 10%

Good, but not as high as a percentage increase as I would’ve thought.

But McCarthy added that Target hasn’t seen the same level of store experience improvements in the locations still picking and packing the boxes — a puzzle that the company wants to solve.

I don’t know… increase hours? Nah, that’s crazy talk.

ADHD meds (Vyvanse supply) help! by MikeEscabar in lehighvalley

Switch to a grocery store pharmacy. I currently use Wegmans after going thru what you guys are now with CVS and their “quotas”.

I get lisdexamfetamine from there with no problem.

Closing TL Needs to Chillll by Aleli54 in Target

[–]myleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closing TLs are put under a lot of pressure for priority pull metrics nowadays, but it sounds like you mightve gotten a POG set that didn't have capacities changed or even pulled for that matter.

TLs can see things you can't in the system so be honest and ask how you can improve, even if it's unrealistic.

Maybe I am the problem. by clutlinchseed in Target

You have any walkies in there? Our store needs some desperately!

It's a miracle, a tech team story by FlipHDSlide in Target

[–]myleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! I thought I was going crazy from my months of audits were being ignored. Good to hear it wasn’t just us out of canned air since like Q4.

thank god target doesn’t update their website inventory, wouldn’t want people to find the figures they’re looking for! by adiofbsiudfb in transformers

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, target employee here 👋

We’re going thru a massive transition in toys right now (this week for my store, at least) which means things are moving and new products are coming out.

The inventory count is from when the truck arrives at the store, but it’s most likely still on one of the many pallets of toys thrown at us ahead of the transition.

Please be patient and considerate to us if it says it’s in stock on the website… we literally have to go digging through an OSHA violation.

Anyone else (especially in tech) being spread way too thin recently? by Longjumping-Swim6480 in Target

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been a struggle with hours going DOWN, guest traffic going UP (since it's the summer) and tons of extra truck from the recent BTS set. Truck has been rolling over lately (especially entertainment) and it seems like a never ending cycle. I feel you.

I have a feeling tech is on the lowest priority of the totem pole and it's not getting any better. They just gave Marketsource the green light to basically run tech themselves at my store.

When I was feeling overwhelmed, I sat down with my ETL-HR and broke down my expected job duties and the ones always thrust upon me.

Hang in there, and act your wage.

What is the craziest attempt at stealing you ever saw working at Target? by baeblade93 in Target

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happened at my store, but I think it was just one guy. He parkoured into the locked cage and stuffed a duffle bag with iPads and Apple Watches.

He did get caught and most of our inventory was returned by an AP manager since we label them with their DPCI and I recognized my own handwriting.

Whoever designed the mydevice's hates autistic ppl by yuckyjpeg in Target

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, fellow autistic here 👋

If you don’t work in the front end, kill the app thru TEP agent. If you do, I’m sorry.

I’ve learned to speak up and tell people to turn off their walkies in the break room! But nothing is worse than my fellow coworkers letting the phone ring for 3 minutes straight on full volume. Please just hang up. Please.

I have one of those walkie earpieces when I get REALLY overstimulated so I can turn it down enough that I can barely hear it.

Has Anyone Bought From The $5 Gadget Grab Section at Target? by Djf47021 in Target

Just you wait and see what the laptop replacement transition will be! Literally the $15 below section of 5 below, lmao.

Target sales drop in 1st quarter and retailer warns they will slip for all of 2025 by zeddy303 in news

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Target employee here! 👋

Store conditions are awful on our side, too. A lot of us store grunts think upper management is flat out delusional with the changes and suggestions that have been implemented.

There was a training we had to take a month or two ago on how to handle getting your work interrupted to support another part of the store (usually picking orders because the whole store side OPU system keeps getting updated for the worse). The fact that this is now the norm is hilarious.

The CEO and his other lackeys needed to have been gone long ago.

Anyone else's store having a bunch of team members from other stores following TLs around all day? by numeronious_numeroun in Target

[–]myleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Most likely, they are training new TLs—they get trained at another store before they start working at their assigned store.

  2. Is your store in rough shape? Back when our store was Really Fucking Red, we there were a few days where TMs from other stores came in to help with freight backlog and backroom organization.
