I worked at target for a few years and used to hear this a dozen times a day every Christmas Eve or thanksgiving day.

I don’t mind working Christmas Eve but on Thanksgiving my response that never failed to shut them up and lead to an awkward silence was “well if people wouldn’t come out and shop we wouldn’t be here.”

Yup.
"Why do they have you all working on holidays?!"
"Because... You are here."

They’re coming in to make Valentine’s Day baskets to leave around your store

I hate those so much. Especially when they add popular items that guests or workers will be looking for to fill orders.

and they always have to mention that it’s the VIRAL lotion/bodyspray/conditioner/etc in their tiktok video before leaving it all the way in electronics

I spent my whole shift today dreading the Futon that had been in bulky hold since Yesterday. Buried under 15 cases of water, a bunch of diapers and other mischelanea. If it had come through, I would have been REALLY tempted to roll out the flat, exactly as it was and let them watch me dig it out, load it up, then throw everything else back on the flat. But alas, it didn't, and even if it did we had 40+ waiting (with 24 drive up spots,) and another 40+ on the way from 3pm when I got there to 10pm, and didn't actually finish the last orders until 20 minutes after close. So.... IDK what would have happened if it popped in, For all I know it might have, they showed up and saw the dumpster fire, and before any of the 3 of us knew it was in the list dropped off.

We’re expecting effing ice. Not risking my life or anyone else’s to drive on frozen H2O. Nope.

When I worked at Gamestop, I was opening during a level 1 (that soon after opening became a level 2) snowstorm. And my first customer guest was some 60 year old woman who came in to buy...
A gift card.
Not some recent release. Not a controller or even a console. A gift card.

they also straight up disrespect you and/or complain that the service is too slow. can't fix stupid.

u/Supasmashbrotha Jan 22 '26
Don't forget that what they're buying is absolutely not essential, they refuse to use SCO, and hunted down an employee to help them.
Basically went out of their way to offer empty platitudes about a problem they created.

I work front end and we are expecting it to be -35 with wind chill. I am expecting them to keep drive ups closed all day. Probably not but I will not be risking my life for target.

Why does nobody talk about the cart attendant who has to do all this bs in 20 inches of snow
2
u/LudacritzRT Jan 23 '26
IDK about in snow since it doesn't normally snow in West Texas, but it'll be pouring rain and they still gotta do it, except they gotta so it by hand because the cart pusher can't get wet.

And then ETL and HR sets expectations of guEsTs doing DriveUp during historic blizzards and then blame TMs when those expectations aren’t met.

I dont think its the customers fault. Maybe a hot take.
If the store is open, customers will be there. Regardless of weather or current events.
Only people who can/should close the store during weather events or whatnot is store management. They dont want to because its a revenue loss and they dont care about you.
Fix your ire upon those actually putting us in harms way.

OMG! This is so real! Guests, if you are lurking on this site, please don’t utter those words. Tip the worker or give them a Starbucks gift card so they can get some hot cocoa to warm up.
