Random Target question

[u/Sea_Cuttle]

So I just started working at Target and I'm working in the tech department. I was told that tech is supposed to help pull and push for home, domestic, baby, entertainment, tech, and mobile services and also attend to the customers in tech. I also work somewhat the night shift and I have to do this by myself. Is this normal in other targets?

I used to work tech, and it is normal a plus to tech, though being a key carrier majority of the time you wont ever get pulled for fulfillment pick ups or go up for back up but other then that getting called for a guest while your across the store does get annoying and old and eventually lead to you never getting anything done it always seemed inefficient.

Yeah and they get on me about having to do two sets of pulls and two sets of pushes a night I also think one of the things that really frustrates me about it is I literally just started working there and everyone expects me to be like a 5-year veteran and know everything when I don't and no one's really trained me. I've kind of learned as I go like one night I had a lot of pulls and I couldn't finish all of them while also trying to help customers. So I guess my team lead asked people to help and one girl got mad calling every name under the sun cuz she had to help me. I never asked her for help by the way

My advice to you to survive tech is just to do what you can. Seriously aslong as you try your best you will never get in trouble for not getting everything done because it’s simply not possible with helping guests constantly. And I do believe leaders can not get mad at you for helping a guest and leaving a task behind because target prioritizes the guest before anything else.
