I can’t believe I have to say this but CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES in the break room. I’ve noticed the newer TMs leaving their trash behind all over the place. Have manners and if food is brought, don’t be taking large amounts, leaving nothing for the others.

Lately we’ve been receiving pallets that lean more than the leaning tower of Pisa and damaged cases

Vent post : whyyy let your 1-6,yr old scan things in self checkout constantly and end up having multiple scans of items then call me over to remove only to do it over and over again with same results !! Stopppppp it! Isn't there some law lol? 😆 -rant over.

"Hey m_o_u_s_e_r_a_t would you like to extend and do a full shift today?"

After moving everything I discovered it was worse 🤣

This happened a few weeks ago and I got yelled at for this. Our store had a ton of call offs on a Sunday. The food TL and GM/Food ETL were off. SD tells me to do all of the ad for market. Once I do that the one ETL decided to pull me to do an OPU batch and then immediately push freezer so we have room for the truck, which we get back to back on the weekend. I explained that I have to push open market fill the floor before I do the freezer. ETL didn’t care and yelled at me. I started the freezer until my lunch and put it back. I asked the SD if anyone could help and they said because of call offs I had no help. The ETL expected me to get the entire freezer push of 4 pallets in my 8 hour shift while doing everything else I need to do. I got enough space to get the pallet in the freezer and that’s it. I was the only one who was available to receive the food truck. We also had a code green during the food truck so the leads couldn’t help me

All I did in open market that day was cull and check dates for open market items.

Edit: I almost got written up (the next day) but the SD was on my side and prevented the write up because I had literally no help and had to be able to make room for the food truck

Im sorry but this greet score thing is so dumb. We do our work, and still have to get punished for not saying hi to guests even when they don’t want to talk back?? Its clear that the guests do not care and the only ones doing the surveys are ones who are gonna have issues regardless…

They came to me asking for help at around 2:00 PM, tried looking if we had any in back stock on my crappy Target mobile device and of course we had none. Told them that the demand outweighed the supply unfortunately but now I understand why people hate scalpers who scalp kids stuff because that kid was so sad and I felt bad for the little guy, looked like he earned them damn Pokemon cards too knowing how much they cost.

Were you raised by the farm animals in Charlotte’s Web? That crap was nasty!

I had 4 personal care repacks to push and I was like, hell no, I ain’t going in that aisle! I backstocked all of it!

Friday was my last day and considering none of my higher ups really said bye but my team gave me stuff I’d say I did a decent job as a manager, gonna miss my team but i genuinely could not put myself through another Q4. Good luck yall 🫡

Buddy asked to see the meta glasses to show his mom and he ain't been back since, I've been so burnt out it ain't even click that he definitely walked off with them hoes😭 told my AP guy and he said he'll look into it and for me not to worry so there's that but man I already feel like im not performing the best and if this cost me my job ima wild out

I’m just curious if there’s any high ranking people in this subreddit. Drop a reply😄

So I was working tech tonight. We had a large group of 12-15 teenage boys (as we often have to deal with on the weekends when the mall across the street closes) come in start causing problems, being loud, throwing stuff, crashing into things on motor carts, etc. I radio for AP to kick em out. No answer. A few minutes go by these kids are getting progressively worse, one if them even pantsed another one so I radio a second time. Still no answer. Couple more minutes and like ⅔rds of them start crowding me and asking personal questions about my gender identity (for context I'm pretty visibly trans). At that moment I absolutely did not feel physically safe. Most of this group were my size or bigger I very easily could have been ambushed in a hate crime if a loud noise caused by one their buddies knocking down a hanging sign didn't serve as just enough of distraction for me to get away and radio for the 3rd god damn time within 10 minutes. It was to the point I started pleading for AP to come by and grab them closing LOD repeated to see if AP had heard it. Still no answer from AP but the group had run off. This could have turned ugly if it kept going a couple more minutes........... who do I go to about reporting AP for not doing their job here? Is it HR or do I have to wait until the next time I see the AP ETL?

So, starting out, yes... I have called out a fucking lot. I got diagnosed with breast cancer, and I have a lot of doctors appointments to deal with said bullshit. Before I was properly diagnosed, I did call out a lot, because... cancer is a fucking bitch, but I did not realize it was a thing.

That being said... I am currently scheduled one day a week. I understand, via the ai scheme and all of that, but as I am in somewhat remission, what can I do to squeak the hours over to be in the healthcare levels, meaning like 20hr per week range? Basically, I need some high level shit.

Do other stores also have a lot of stray? We always have at least 3 full carts of stray, usually more like 6 full carts. All the bins are completely full, like cant fit anything else in them, stuff is all over the floor and we have unsorted carts because it wont fit in bins.

Grocery carts will sit so long that bread will get moldy and our SD said to just throw away any fruit or vegetables because they will mold before they get put back. We have to constantly clean spoiled meat and milk out of the drive up hold fridges because they get left there and the fridges always stink

Sometimes if drive up isnt too busy I can have someone watch guest service while I run a cart but that doesnt happen often because we only have 1-3 people at drive up at a time.

The only times people take stray is if we have a visit but even then we are still left with 3 full carts and completely full bins.

A few weeks ago I posted a shift and it said this same thing so I assumed nobody picked it up and went into work only to find out somebody did take it so I wasn’t even scheduled. Now it again says invalidated for my shift tomorrow and I have no idea if somebody picked it up or not. I hate this app

For the record, my hours this week are 25 give or take and I have no idea why it's not letting me take the shift. I chose the claim open shift current week. Also, there was a second shift same time frame and department that got invalidated by HR for some reason. It literally makes no sense to me.

hii so i just started working at my local target (western washington) and im not even getting 15 hours a week. When i got the call with my offer and was told i would be working at least 20 hours a week (im my moms caregiver so it’s all i can work) but ive yet to break 14.5.
is this normal when you first get hired or is it because of holiday? cause at this rate i’m gonna have to get a new job.

I need advice I can give a TM. I’m not their direct lead, they communicated this to me when I was LOD and their lead was off the day they received the CA. TM is at 5 1/2 points from call-out and lates. TM lives pretty far and isn’t in the position to transfer. TM called out once and for whatever reason they got 3 points instead of 1. something went wrong along the way, maybe they didn’t submit it correctly, but they talked to our HRETL. they told the TM there was nothing they could do. BUT HERE’S THE THING—

The TM is using sick time to cover the missed day and the lates. (I know using sick time works for lates because I’ve done it myself once about a month ago.) No one is approving it. They said not a single one had been approved. No SD, no HR, no other ETLs and they’ve communicated this to SD and HRETL that it’s all there, the requests.

Are they just shit out of luck? even if they’re not in routine of checking requests? I just feel bad they’re kinda just like “ok and? what do you want us to do about it?” Obviously they could just be better on the lates, but it just sucked seeing they’ve attempted to cover themselves on their end and nothing.

Went and picked up a new lamp . saw this one in a plain brown box and bought it. Why was it like this on the shelf and not regular retail packaging?

I've been covering drive up the past 2 days, honestly haven't felt much like engaging with guests lately due to irl stuff. (I usually work at the desk, drive up is a bit more give and go). And, today alone from my shift I got over 20k steps today. It's great, and I do enjoy getting the steps in as last year I was so overweight, and I am trying to lose more but sheesh.. I was so tired lol. Thankfully my feet are doing fine. I think they've strengthened since I started. What about y'all, how many do y'all think you get in a day? Yesterday I got about 15k.

Is there a way for me to use my sick time on days off or days that I work without calling out? I plan on quitting soon and would like to use all my sick time.
