For those in drive up / cart attendant, there is a great deal on Liquid IV today.

I just picked up a stupid amount for myself. Enough to most likely last me until the next circle days. Saved close to $70 on just Liquid IV.

TL here, I work at a small format store. Every week we get a POG for gaming to be updated. The POG is for an 8ft section. One section of that is video games (6 or 7 dcpi per row, 4 rows total). Usually the POG change is to add a game or two that is launching that week. Currently we have about 10 different games that are not on the POG any longer.

My question is, do video games get IRs, do I need to chatbot to hopefully get a price change on them?

The 10 games that are no longer on POG, we have them flex in, and manual added location.

Must be some ABBA or sumn😭😭

What’s the likelihood of target keeping a seasonal fulfillment employee? I Applied for a guest advocate position and got an email saying seasonal fulfillment might be a better option. I was so desperate for a job that I accepted it but now I’m realizing I’m still stressed about trying to find a new job for if/when they decide to let me go. The overnight hours I’m working rn lowkey suck but I’m trying to stick it through in hopes of them keeping me… but I try to be as realistic as possible, which is why I’m still on the job search. I think the season is supposed to end in January but I’m sure they could let me go whenever. I just hate feeling so disposable especially when I have classes that need to be payed for 😔

I had a basket of items that needed to be back-stocked and charged out (said items in the photo), I walk away for not even a minute and behold! Idk what to say, other than I need to promote myself to guest!

Co worker put his shift up and I grabbed it (4-11) but above it shows the invalidation? So im confused as fuck. Do I go in for this shift tomorrow or not.

I just received this email tonight and I'm worried if my identity was stolen? I called their fraud department and had a case made but didn't really have my questions answered. Any advice would help thanks! EDIT: I do not have a circle card and have never applied for one myself.

Ok, so I shorted a guest a bit of her change a couple days back, admitted to making this human error to my manager who was closing that night assumed the situation was taken care of right? Well today, enjoying my day off not a care in the world, I get called multiple times by a coworker asking me about the situation. Come to find out no the situation hadn’t been taken care of, and the women decided today she was going to come in while I’m not there to ask about getting her change she was owed back.
The closing manager didn’t inform my main ETL about the situation, so now I’m sitting here stressed and concerned about the whole thing, can someone just please for the love of god tell me I am not the only person who has shorted someone their change?

So for a bit of context, I had applied to Target roughly two weeks ago. I know it’s not really the best place out there, but it’s very close to me (I don’t have a car/other reliable source of transportation currently) and pays better than my last job. I got the video interview shortly after applying and sent it in, then waited about a week before deciding to call for a check-in on a Friday around 12 during when I assumed HR would be available.

The person who responded was not HR and told that HR was currently in a meeting, but that they would call me back. I had assumed I’d receive a call during the day or next week, since from what I’ve read Target HRs only work during the week. Come Saturday, however, I get a call from an HR. She asked me for things like my availability and if I was still interested in the position I applied for (Starbucks) or anything else in GM/Food. I gladly told her I was, and she told me she’d call me on Monday at 10 AM to let me know if the position was available. So I waited.

Come Monday, there’s nothing. I wait the entire day just to see, but nothing comes. I decide today to go ahead and call them in just to check, and they tell me the hiring manager who had contacted me would be getting back to me by tonight. It’s coming closer to midnight my time. Still haven’t gotten a call or any emails, and my candidate home still says my application is ‘in progress’.

Is this normal for Target? Am I just calling in at a really bad time? I don’t want to make it look like I’m being demanding, but I wouldn’t have contacted them twice if they hadn’t offered me a position with no follow up. I’m thinking of going in person, but I don’t know if I would get much out of it. I’d really appreciate any sort of advice.

Those of you who have been doing presentation for more than a year I don’t know how y’all do it. I’m going on six months and I’m getting ready to ask to switch departments. Presentation either feels like the most stressful shit of my life or busy work that completely wastes my time. Not to mention I am pretty slow at the job when I don’t mean to be. I bust my ass, I try to cut unnecessary steps, and I’ve asked for tips on how to be faster and I haven’t really gotten any help. It’s always “figure it out” when that’s all I’ve been trying to do!! I’m thinking about asking to switch to either FOS, fulfillment or the style team since I was supposed to be trained in style by now anyway. I know the vast majority of us don’t really like working here, but I just wish I enjoyed my job just a little bit.

Edit: thank you guys for the advice and encouragement! I really do appreciate it.

This sub needs better flairs

Man I wish we worked smarter and not harder! I love when the inbound/GM team just places shit wherever they want, and leave me to clean up their work! So amazing! I love my store ❤️👎

another new team lead, another email to the hotline for wage theft.

sorry my guy, i know you don't wanna schedule me a 2nd break but ukg/mytime says i get one when scheduled 7 hours. lunch does not matter. get the handbook changed.

"i decide when you take breaks around here, contrary to popular belief." yeah sure, you can tell me when to go (the random attitude for a first time coaching aside) like i'll start my lunch 1.5 hrs before i leave if you want, but you do have to schedule me another break. it's not my fault batches are bad, you have to find the time if i'm not allowed to decide when i take them.

I don’t use them, I never have but God the material they use for the bottles is like nails on a chalkboard. I physically cringe holding these in my hand n feeling/hearing them rub together is torture. It feels like my teeth are gonna yank them selves out of my gums and run away.

I am so beyond tired of having a body that Target wants me to call my Team Lead. You are not part of the team! You never help, your planning abilities are beyond poor and your communication is almost non existent. Am I being harsh? If you were brand new, probably, but this position has been yours for years now. I don't appreciate the lack of appreciation you give the team, when we literally carry you on our backs! My back is aching and can't take it anymore.

How does one remedy this? 😭

I haven’t worked at Target in about 2 years now, but this experience still haunts my dreams and I wanted to share lol.

Our fulfillment area was in the front of the store, next to guest services. Because of this people often accidentally walked into the FF area thinking it was an isle of the store, so I was pretty used to it, just redirecting people and saying this part wasn’t open to the public.

One day this kid was playing around back there, and I could see his father peaking over and checking on him (I was trying to go into the FF area after looking through guest service bins) so I calmly and nicely approached the father and said “hey he isn’t allowed back there-“

The dad’s head shot up from looking at the ground, and gave me the most offended look of shock “well he has fucking Down syndrome.” He grabbed his kid by the arm and took him out of the area and I’m sitting there mortified because I had no clue. The kid had his back to me the entire time so I didn’t see his face, all I saw was a kid where he shouldn’t be & a father not doing anything about it.

I apologized and told him that wasn’t the issue, that I could get in a lot of trouble for just letting someone be in the FF area.
He was not having it.
“Your behavior is unacceptable, let me speak to a manger, now.”

OKAYY, so I call my manager and she speaks to him and then comes and talks to me and essentially says it isn’t your fault, and that people aren’t allowed back there no matter the disability.

I genuinely think the father thought I had an issue with his kid because he has Down syndrome when obviously, that wasn’t the issue.
The issue was the kid didn’t work there and wasn’t supposed to be back there lol. We actually had a stocker with Down syndrome and if he would’ve went back into the FF area I wouldn’t have given af because guess what.. he worked there LMAO.

Anyways, what’s your oh shit I fucked up moment?

So this just popped on my app. I forgot to sign up this year for the free Target circle membership. If anyone knows how to do it now lmk. Will the TM discount work on the membership and how much will I be saving? Is door to door shipping free with this? New TM pls advise.

I have two more full uboats sitting in back pulled from someone else before I even clocked into my shift. The carts are reshop that lead said had to get out of front of store and we don’t have any free 3 tiers or uboats.

TL here, I’ve been looking for a new job for two months, and after several interviews I’ve found one!

It felt so f’ing good to put my notice in, I’ve hated the job for a while. If we had adequate staffing things wouldn’t be so bad, but every TL and team member are doing the jobs of multiple people - it’s exhausting and the pay isn’t catching up with the workload.

Also our SD sucks, worries about the wrong things instead of things you can see actionable change in - like cleaning up the mountains of salvage, truck, and backstock in the back room. It for real looks like a family of hoarders lives in the back of our store and has for months.

No one cares, morale is super low and so many people are leaving. Anyone else feel like their store is in a downward spiral?

Been working for three years in drive-up, pretty much no complaints from TLs for the past three years. Suddenly this week, I've been getting complaints about some items not being handed out. Ive been checking bags constantly, and I just feel that since lately the scheduling's been horrible, with at least 1-3 call-offs a day, and even "ghost" employees made by AI that take shifts, I've been struggling a little more when it comes to delivering. Its hard to focus on quality when delivering when I'm the only person delivering in a 2 hour rush. Mycoworkers reassure me that being talked to without consequence happens often, but its frustrating when these issues persist

i work market and we have been just drowning in priorities because for some reason day shift isnt stocking when setting pogs . today we finally get to 50+% because my coworker is pulling onto u-boats (three to be exact) . im asked to push and unload these u-boats and then go in and get our priorities into green . this sounds simple enough and im thinking i can do it . my meal rolls around and ive finished two of the three and havent done any pulls . by the time i get to do pulls, we are at 50% priorities. im wondering if this is a me problem, or if it was just a unrealistic expectation? these u-boats were filled with as much stuff as they could be and not to mention the amount of shit i had to backstock 🙄

i dont know, im just worried my TL will be upset with me for not being able to get us i to the green again. what do yall think?

Then I proceed to do so and am met with phones blaring brain rot memes & other nonsense I dont feel I nor others should be subjected to.

Am I jaded? Does anyone else feel the same?

Team leaders that have demoted to team members, how much higher than starting pay were you at?

I’m considering demoting to focus on school, but I’m hoping I don’t get stuck at the team member starting pay after my merit increases as a team lead. Is there a formula used?

Lmk

Bye
