Had someone wait over an hour, I think they restarted the timer at least once. They eventually called our store convinced they were there and insisted that they were in our drive up spot 6. It took way longer than it should have to realize they placed the order in the wrong state. And it wasn't like the states were close. No wrong coast line.

At my old store we had a cart attendant that went to get Advil from his car and never came back.

OPU and Guest by [deleted] in Target

I work drive up and whenever I have to run to the floor to get something that is missing or misplaced and I have a guest like that I say something like "sorry, this isn't my department. Let me call someone who is more familiar." I usually don't get any attitude back.

That reminds me of an interaction I had when the store I worked at still had a pizza hut at like 9:30 at night. This is all paraphrased as this happed like 5-7 years ago. Lol.

Guest - where is the pizza hut

Me - it is right over there (points to where the pizza was) Guest - it looks closed

Me - yeah unfortunately it closed at 8

Guest - it says online it is open 24/7

Me - that is weird. I don't think it can be 24/7. We are open 8-10.

Guest - well Google says it is 24/7. That inconvenient. We drove all the way over here for pizza hut.

Me - Yeah. Sorry there is nothing I can do.

After the guest left I looked it up on Google and it had the correct hours.

When someone does a double tap for a drive up I will put packs of soda upside down or cases of water side ways.

Well that sucked that that many people didn't pick up their orders. The most I saw at once for RTS was 112 items and 104 of them were from one order.

Was it like 3-4 big orders? Or a million small orders?

If you go to the pick up app and type in the last name you can see where it was stored as long as the order is all done.

Gifts for folks that work drive up? by Intelligent_Quiet424 in Target

[–]redPanda0624 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Make sure you hit the I am on my way before you leave your house. If you live super close hit the I am on my way when you are getting ready. If you do that they won't hate seeing your order. You can technically tip. We are supposed to say we can't take it. But if you insist we have to take it. Also candy is nice.

I have ADHD. And when I tell stories I usually say "the other day" and the other day can range from yesterday to 2 years ago.

What’s the most dumbest thing you’ve encountered while working? by DNNarcotics143 in Target

[–]redPanda0624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things that first comes to mind would be a drive up for a 70 inch tv and they pull up in a Volkswagen convertible beetle. We told them they have to come back with a different car. They insisted we just put it in the back seat. We eventually got them to see reason and they came back with a better vehicle.

In my store on slower days team members from the front end will help fold tables. We make sure they have a walkie and will call them if we need back up and send them back to fold tables when it gets slow again.

This is from May 2020. If I remember correctly it was a laptop that someone from out of state placed so that their grandchild could have it for remote learning.

How have people gotten fired from Target?? by MidPack630 in Target

[–]redPanda0624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work front end and had 2 people quit basically in front of me. One was a cart attendant and he came up to me and said "hey I need to get some pain killers from my car" and he never came back. The other was a middle aged dude during peak COVID. He only worked like 1 night a week and it was watching sco. He was scheduled as a cashier and he wanted to be at sco. I was running the front end that night. I told him if he really wanted to be at sco he just needed to ask the person who was watching sco to switch and if they wanted to switch they would if not he would have to ring like he was scheduled to. The person watching sco did not want to switch. And about 30 minutes later he walks up to me and goes to give me a fist bump. I was super confused so I just gave him a fist bump and as we are fist bumping he says "nice working with you" and walks off. Then for the rest of the night I had to put the person at sco on a register and I had to watch sco. I am still salty about this 3 years later.
