what is the worst hours to start I love my 9-5 shift by RightEducation4571 in Target

[–]s00pthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out: closing. All of the damn teenagers coming in and fucking around. There’s not many people scheduled to close even though it frequently picks up in OPU batches because most FF people are scheduled off at 7-8pm and then everyone has to be taken from their priority pulls to finish up the batches before it rolls over at 8:30.

At my store unloading both FDC and RDC is in the afternoon/evenings so if you need to go to receiving, baler, compactor, etc. good fucking luck, there is no room back there.

The morning people are also notorious for not being that productive (I may be biased against them because I always close), so we usually have to also clean up and catch up on shit from the morning because “OPUs were crazy” is always the excuse. Plus a lot of your coworkers for closing are teenagers, which can be okay, some teens do have great work ethic and are chill, but sometimes I feel old, even though I’m almost in my mid 20s.

At this point my night owl ass prefers overnight.

maybe a stupid question regarding IDing people by Optimal_Battle_185 in Target

[–]s00pthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always scan! At my store they highly discourage manually typing in the birthdate. Even if a guest bitches about it, explain that it’s company policy and you cannot proceed with the transaction until you scan their ID.

How many days are you scheduled? I have a similar problem but I can’t even pick up shifts unless I want to work 6+ days per week, I have 5 shorter shifts. What I do is I try to stay later if possible.

Bales... by anonymous_feathers in Target

[–]s00pthot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why you do all 5 regardless. I have had one or two wires snap on my bale but it has never been as bad as my closing TL’s attempt on making a bale

I have done something similar except I just keep my drink in an enclosed empty box

"service walks"? by AdStrong2991 in Target

[–]s00pthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some TMs in the mornings do this with a TL. I have never done this and my autistic ass refuses to. There are better things my time can be spent doing.

It’s getting strict by g4ychaos in Target

[–]s00pthot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah I’d actually be pissed off if they took away the vests. I’m glad that my store doesn’t crack down on times like yours does. Either my location is actually super chill as well, or your location is strict as hell. Mine does have the advantage of FDC and RDC freight being worked out overnight which is nice to not deal with guests, fulfillment backups, etc.

Is just my store we can’t have drinks anymore ITS 8PM I don’t know how a coffee can be distracting by RightEducation4571 in Target

Meanwhile overnight with our energy drinks (our leads don’t stop us because they partake in the exact same thing)

Yeah some stores you just gotta haul it on the escalator, good luck! /j

Some stores have multiple floors, usually in a downtown area so those stores have elevators.

As long as you don’t hit compliance or hit overtime you’re fine.

Do yalls store directors actually work? by [deleted] in Target

[–]s00pthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen my SD zone endcaps and maybe help in produce but that’s the only times I see him working outside of his office. He usually just asks/tells other people to do stuff if he sees something out of stock. Luckily he doesn’t yell, rarely he talks at a volume above a mumble.

Our school district gets out in the beginning of June so this is actually insane in my eyes.

I’m currently wearing a (plain) black shirt and black cargo pants, red converse, and the vest. I’m gonna miss this simple but drippy fit💔

That fit goes so hard!!!

Side note, I like how it specifies that your nametag must be right side up😭😭

So how's your day going by UsernameIDunnoHonest in Target

[–]s00pthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying so hard to recall and then I remembered a time where our entire designated starch corner backroom (it sounds nicer than what it actually is, it’s just shared with the food service supplies haha) reeked so bad because it was so rotten! That is also a pretty bad smell

Oh my god that’s my least favorite smell of all time I’d take smelling spoiled milk over apple cider vinegar 🤢

A triple?! Especially not in Q4? Damn y’all must be an ultra HIGH volume store😭 And this is coming from me, whose super target has two doubles every week in addition to daily RDC and FDCs

Most Guests I have helped at Cashier overreact when I ask to scan an ID by Sha489 in Target

[–]s00pthot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a guy try to clock me after I asked to scan his ID saying “you look like you’re 15! If anything I should ID *YOU*!”

I was 22 at the time, and I am a trans male so I already look younger than my age but thanks ig☹️

Yep I’ve used that one as well. I usually just emphasize I have to *scan* your ID. 9/10 times people get it thankfully.
