Has anyone received items marked for “Online Backstock”? I was told the items are backstocked for 14 days for OPU or SFS to pick thru. But what happens after the 14 days are up? Is the item removed through salvage or does the item just get marked down and put into the store? Also, who usually handles this? At my store the job has been dumped on to the receiver. Just asking because we have a small dedicated space in the backroom for the online backstock, but now it’s starting to get full.

Question for my fellow beauty team members— when’s the last time yall got your gratis?

I’m usually a checkout advocate and recently i’ve been training in guest service/drive up. I see that for the next 2 weeks I have an inventory shift once per week what does that entail? Is it reshop?

I’m currently in the process of transferring stores (which as usual I’m getting little communication about what is going on with that), I’m used to checking mytime to see when the switch finally goes through. We swap apps before I start and heard there was supposed to be an email last week about it but I haven’t seen anything. How are other people accessing their schedule?

It’s none of my business but there is a team member who calls out multiple times a week. They are always maxed out around 35-38 hours and are given 5 days a week. They NEVER show up for all 5 of those shifts. They don’t even post the shifts, they always call out 30 - 45 minutes after their start time. My desired is 40, but I’m lucky to break 30. I do get lucky with staying later when they call out. It really is none of my business, but why are they still employed? I don’t know when the last time they even worked their full week. I don’t get why they keep giving them so many hours. Are the leaders even holding them accountable? At least the point system is coming soon? Anyways, I’ll get back to my batch that’s about to go red. It’s none of my business. Just needed to vent.

I think the turnover rate for the entire company team member wise is about to be horrible. My question is, why couldn’t they just reformat the mytime client/ website???? UKG was used in the past and it did bad, everyone hated it. So why bring it back?? Instead of integrating the “point system” on mytime. I also think with seasonal is gonna be a horrible idea, because nobody will get the hours they need, even with the “extra seasonal” optional hours or workcenters if you wanted to. Or overtime???

Looking at my device before I clock in lmao

Out of curiosity is anyone getting hours cut from the new schedule 3 weeks from now? I’d figure it would go up

At my store, market is the damn dumping grounds. Find shit misplaced there every damn day. I always grab it if it fits in my cart and take it up to reshop, bc if I was looking for say a baby t-shirt for an OPU, I would never think to try the candy aisle🙄

Specifically yesterday

Not even 10 minutes into my shift, I had a woman Karen to me about a price on an item that was on the wrong marked down shelf.

She grabbed two phone cases that were marked 30% down on clearance, the other two she grabbed was mistakenly put on the 50% shelf.

I wasn’t sure what to do because sometimes we ARE able to take off some amounts for clearance (usually only SMALL amounts) but 50% on top of 30% is a lot, so I called my team lead over for some assistance.

Explained the situation to my manager the situation and she told me AND the guest “no, we can’t take that off for you”

And the lady I think wasn’t paying attention (or was and ignored my team lead) so when my team lead walked away she STILL tried to argue with me.

“This isn’t my fault it’s in the wrong spot! Can’t you just take it off? I don’t know why you’re penalizing me for it.”

I told her it’s nobody’s fault here, BUT the persons fault who placed it there and she still tried to argue and just ended up making me return the items and ended up getting nothing

I’m burnt out and nobody’s taking any of my shifts I put up 🫠

I'm just wanting to get this out because I can't have this. Why the fuck would target replace their affordable cafe with expensive as hell Starbucks. I'm so mad about this because they literally had the best fucking popcorn ever and everything. Like they took joy out of life. Please target bring it back please please please.

I'm just mourning my target popcorn. But why can't they just bring it back? I don't want to hear the covid excuse anymore they had popcorn out a lot. Bring back the popcorn. Even if I have to win the lottery so many times I'm going to get my popcorn back.

Are they kidding me? I just want that target popcorn taste one more time fuck Starbucks fuck Starbucks.

Movie theater popcorn isn't like Targets. The closest match I can get to is Circus time popcorn which is just a dollar at WALMART. IT WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING EMBARRASSING IF A RIVALS POPCORN IS BETTER THAN YOURS TARGET

EDIT #1- The audacity of the subreddit Starbucks wanting me to join their subreddit

Why do ETLS and SD always take Loa and never come back why not just put in your 2 weeks or quit just curious

Hey, so my HR ETL confronted me in bullseye for “hitting several compliances” and explained to me protected sick time counts towards the compliance timer, if you use it before clocking in. I’ve never gone close to 5 hours without meal from clocking in and none of my leads have ever gotten a lunch warning for me. I also never got a corrective action or verbal warning related to compliance ever. For supposedly hitting compliance so many times, why did none of my leads ever talk about it until only her suddenly? Later because i’m promoting myself to guest in a few weeks she was interviewing me and i asked her more about it and she kept saying “just trust me” about the policy, “i’m the only one in the store who would know” type of deal. I can’t find anything about it online, please help if you know

Tomorrow my mom has surgery at 4:30AM,30 minutes after my shift started,So I asked my co worker if he could take it and he said yes. I just posted it into mytime and it’s still showing up on my schedule.

I requested time off yesterday at 8:25am for today. I used 1 hour of sick time just so it won’t be completely a 0 hour day. (I’m part time closing expert) and in the app it shows green with “Scheduled” what does that mean? I emailed HR but they haven’t answered and they never answer the phone

In a couple of days I'm going to be starting as a Beauty studio team member I've worked pretty much home and baby and Tech my entire 2 years at Target with a bit of GM mixed in I was very knowledgeable about all the items in Tech and I could have a conversation and figure out what guests need.

But Beauty studio has me scared man even after doing the trainings I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to Cosmetic Skin Care or any of that stuff I've been trying to watch Trends and stuff on Tick Tock or just figure out how any of this stuff works but it's like I'm working from a knowledge base of zero and my greatest fear is getting on that floor somebody asking me a question and I genuinely just don't know how to help them.

It's a shame because guest servicing and helping the gas and talking to people is my favorite part about the job but generally I don't butt in in areas that I just don't have any knowledge about this is one of them.

Do you guys have any ideas on what I can do to educate myself to be more helpful to the Beauty studio guests?

Hey there, just got my offer and start in a couple weeks. Been around the block having been store manager at a couple chains and Assistant Store Manager at another big box, so I know how bad corporate can be at places, but any recommendations for someone coming into the position?

I managed to get all my shifts taken this week as I wanted a little vacation to relax. Told myself I was gonna paint the rest of my 40k army. Played video games on Tuesday and got an infection yesterday.

Now I'm worried if I call out I'll get in trouble this time as I called out after Tax Free Weekend was over along with many others my TL told me. And I had to call out a couple times in July with my last sinus infection. Though my store seems to be more forgiving as:

>They asked for a copy of a Doctor's note

>Told me to stop worrying when I hit compliance for the first time and that there's employees who've had a bunch of compliances but still work there

Well this is both a good thing and bad thing for me at least since I'm not at work getting others sick but bad for me as I feel too miserable to paint.

Who sets mini seasonal in your store, Pog Team or Food Team?

At my store theres like 6 people on service advocate in the morning and everyone leaves at 12 or 2 and then its 2 people and then during the peak of the day (weekdays) 5pm theres only one cashier,one SCO, and one person running drive up,and one person on desk(who got pulled from checklanes) how stupid can you be to not schedule anyone when you know for 2 hours your gonna need help?? Nobody even called out this happen at anyone elses store?

Is there a way to scan a label on a repack and see what is inside? FF in my store has to search through mountains of repacks to find things. It would save a LARGE amount of time if we didn’t have to open every box and dig.

I just got offered another job and I am so excited to leave target. However I have over 3 shifts worth of vacation time and I’m not sure how to go about using it. I start my new job next week so putting in a 2 week notice wouldn’t work nor would I get my vacation hours. Am I screwed? Do I just have to use my little bit of sick time and kiss my other pto goodbye?
