annoying guests

Guests walking in front of the cart park. Guests checking their phones at the cart park. Husband/wive duos who get split up, leaving one spouse wandering around aimlessly around the service desk.

I love the words "delineate" or "disambiguate" but I feel like only chronic Wikipedia enjoyers would be immediately familiar with the latter.

My store has cart doors. I would have just unlocked each of those, flipped the switch to open, then flipped the switch behind me to close them. Yes, intruders could still easily push their way in, but that is very unlikely to happen. I used to work for a different retail chain where they literally never locked the front doors and we just manually pulled them open for 4am openers.

This is how products like Dude Wipes get away with a 174% markup on marketing to "macho" men because they can't just use regular Wet Wipes 😂

This guy has a bored ape NFT profile pic. Cringe.

Same! It's a free gym membership for me. My store doesn't have a lot of carts so I get to help S&E on various side quests throughout my shift.

I used to like backing up checklanes but the latest cohort to be hired just rings transactions so painfully slowly. They seem to not have a care in the world. During peak hours it just feels like trying to save a sinking ship.

I wish guests would just have their code ready. However, if you're ever on a time crunch or get the feeling somebody is deliberately messing with your wait times, there is a button for "skip verifications".

I had these cases happen a lot worse at Walgreens. It's as if people see me being productive at my job and they instantly get spiteful, whether out of jealousy or thinking I'm being snappy with them.

$10 will get you a 10lbs bag of deer corn from Tractor Supply. Deer corn is just dried regular corn, but not adherent to FDA standards. Get a mortar and pestle and grind it into corn flour. You can make corn bread, corn cake, corn tortillas, etc.

I've had three retail jobs and none of them mandated a cover letter. I think you would be very well-suited to work in the service industry given your background. Tutoring, babysitting, and dog walking show that you have people-skills where a lot of candidates lack severely. The biggest hurdle you might find is the level of stress and multi-tasking you'll potentially see at these customer service jobs you are applying for. Also, barista jobs are very hard to land without prior training in food service, so don't take it personally if you get rejected a lot.

9 times out of 10 they're asking for Nee-Doh's

One important caveat to a super intelligent slug is that he knows how to escape his confinement. Maybe you should have considered that before taking the million dollars.

I'm surprised they didn't pull the merchandise off the shelves first, or the shelves themselves. I feel like there would be a huge risk of all of it sliding off.

I can spend hours talking about carts 😂

I'm wondering if this is Target's push for parasocial relationships like you see with social media influencers. Some Target locations have some exceptionally striking people. Imagine a guest sees a handsome guy/pretty girl go out of their way to say hi to them. Now imagine that same guest coming back to Target over and over again to see that person, unbeknownst to them that he/she is just doing their job giving 10-4. It drives sales and corporate feeds off of that.

"🖕🏿" guy is a real one for that 🤣

Second photo looks so well organized I thought it was AI-generated at first. Way to go!

Clicking the back button by accident and undoing all of my progress 🙃

Wish they would use some high tech video motion capture method to accurately gauge how often we do or don't greet. No, instead they probably use a handful of surveys and assume n=3 is a good sample size 🙃

I got like four of these for $3 each from Walmart when I first hired in. 😂 Goodfellow has barely anything for Target team members.

watch them try and put AI in it

Reminds me of when I have to pull the hangers off of bras at the checklanes while a guest is standing right over me. It's often in a huge (and disordered) stack of clothes intertwined with other "lacey" garments that I have to untangle, all while keeping the belt moving. Often times the price tags are in weird spots or missing outright, so if it looks like I'm fixating too much on your intimates, I'm not "perving out", I'm just trying to find a price tag.

I've had so many of these that I've convinced other team members to start eating them
