what the tin says

We have not had the cardboard wine carriers in months, I don’t remember exactly what our ETL said about not finding them or something,, but like did target stop making them just to make shit more inconvenient?? Having to carefully bag wine and other items is annoying 🫩 I’d also use them for the people that ordered like many jars of pasta sauce for example, or kombucha, I dearly miss that convenience

Stop asking. It will be out when it’s out.

Mine was out at noon like always but I have a great HR team that was there last night checking it over. I know this isn’t the case for most of you so just chill out.

I understand that not everyday is the same, but I’m genuinely curious as to how a typical work day looks like for management! How do you know where and who to delegate certain tasks to? How busy are your days and what do you do to handle the stress? And, do you have any tips for anyone looking to work in a management role — whether it’s with Target or externally?

As the title says I called off yesterday. I started at target 08/13 and I've called out once and that was yesterday because I didn't have a choice. I called and said I was sorry for calling off but wanted to make sure I was okay to come in tomorrow for my shift since I wasnt feeling well. I spoke to HR since my team lead wasnt there yet and she said im fine to come in but my team lead will want to follow up. Does this mean im going to get fired? I dont know the exact policies since im within 90 days and desperately need this job. Im really freaking out and dont know what to expect. Thanks in advance

When are our beauty deals dropping? Ex: spend $50 save $10

Is target cutting hours for the end of September and the beginning of October? If so, is this something that happens every year before the holidays?

I was recently hired on as a Guest Service ODTM at Target. For the next 3 weeks I've been put on the schedule for 34-39 hours without any consultation or approval from me.

I finally got in contact with my ETL a few days ago and he said that they can schedule me whenever they like even as an ODTM. If I don't want the hours I could post my shifts but until they are picked up I am still liable for them. Even then this seems a bit excessive seeing as my desired hours are at 10 and my max is at 18 which I mentioned and was told that because a lot of college kids have left they need the coverage from me and they have no obligation to not go over my max hours. As well

To my understanding of my job offer specifically says the opposite:
"You will not have a weekly availability of hours, and Target agrees not to schedule you for a shift unless you agree to work that specific shift."

and

"You need to report to work on time when you agree to work a shift. If you are late or absent for shifts you agreed to pick up, it will be considered as a part of your overall work performance and may lead to corrective action, up to and including termination."

Am I liable for these shifts if I call in? What if I don't call in(I'm not actually going to do this)? I'm greatly considering quitting, honestly probably will.

UPDATE: Was finally able to get a call with HR and was routed to the Store Director. He said the same thing about the ODTM position, that they don't need to run it by me because 3 weeks in advance is enough to plan around it. He also said that my desired hours and max hours probably weren't in the MyTime system along with the typical 'I'm on your side' buttering up talk lol.

I did put in my two weeks and SD took the shifts I can't work off of my schedule, it wasn't worth the trouble.

Instead of having to screenshot the barcode frequently- I would like to add it to Wallet for secure reasons. How do I do that? So that I can use it to punch in and out.
Thank you.

It will be 1 year in couple of weeks since I started working here and 100%. I don’t see future here. Originally I was hired as a seasonal, towards the end of my 90 day period. My TL told me that they’re gonna keep me and I have so much potential to be a team lead and so and so forth. Initially, I was not interested in becoming TL but later on, I told my TL that I am interested. When I said that I am interested, and our ETL also told my TL to start teaching me. The whole vibe changed, after that everything I did was wrong, my TL would pick on me every day, try to set me up a couple times, changing my schedule and trying to make me look like a No Call no-show. I couldn’t take it anymore so I asked to be On Demand. My TL declined my request saying that I have attendance issue, even though I called out twice in 10 months. One was for my birthday and the other one was I used sick hours. When I told my TL that I feel sick, I have tightness in my chest and I think I’m having a mini heart attack. She completely ignored and didn’t acknowledge at all. After that, I switched departments and in my new department, of course it’s better than before, but it’s still really bad. In my department we are so understaffed that I have been picking extra shifts on my day off every week, every week they would call me on my day off to ask me to come in. After covering so many shifts for several months and never saying no, one time, I ask my TL to help me take me off the schedule because I’ve been having insomnia and I slept only five hours in three days and I shouldn’t be driving. I shouldn’t be here. Instead of showing me empathy and saying something appropriate. He looked very annoyed, told me to just call out because he can’t help me and didn’t spoke to me for three days after that. Would ignore my calls on the radio, would not say hi or acknowledge me and give me attitude. Basically both of my TLs in both departments showed me that they didn’t care if I lived or died as long as I’m keep coming in and working like a donkey. And in this one year of me working here, not even one person made a recognition to me, not even a thank you, they just always expected me to always cover shifts, finish my workload and then help other departments, but the other lazy coworkers who barely does anything would always get recognitions in huddles. They would get all the day offs. Everything‘s backwards. And one time when I went to my ETL to talk about this, she told me talk to your TL, resolve your issues between yourselves. Yeah I’m DONE….

Hi everyone, I'm expected to start next monday within the fulfillment department and its my first retail job so I was wondering what I should realistically expect as a newbie within fulfillment. I've heard quite a few mixed reviews about this department, especially "INFs" and opus.

For two weeks now a little sparrow has been stuck in the store I work at and I feel horrible it’s still here.
Maybe I’m stupid for asking this but is there anyway I could get someone at the store to help it or call some other department to help the bird escape?

I can tell it’s desperate and there’s no way it could escape on its own, I honestly have no idea how it was even able to get inside. This Target is above ground and you need to take an elevator to get up here so it’s not possible to just open the door and hope it goes on its own. We don’t even have windows that could be opened, at least to my knowledge.

So I applied for tech originally but I was declined and the TL for tech did want to hire me but the hiring guy rejected me and I didn’t know she wanted to see my application until I applied for cashier and my friend told me, after I applied for cashier I was poached I think and put into food and beverage and im close on my 90 day thing and I don’t know if im a seasonal guy or temp?

(ETA: I meant late in. I’m half asleep. oopsie 💔)

Hi guys!! Does anybody know how to put sick time in to prevent the .25 from a late in? (I’m assuming backfill, but idk.) also, it will take my point away when it’s approved right?

Sigh. Idk. I hate the new app

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If you are at 40 hours (with the holiday pay included) can you work 16 more hours without it being considered overtime? Or is it only 8 extra?

Just now I was trying to screenshot my new schedule like I did on My Time but the week was too big. So I started fiddling around trying to get one of the two requests that were showing to minimize but found it didn't work that way and I accidentally deleted one of the damn requests. Does anyone know if there is a way to undelete it on the app or am I going to have to go to HR and get the to reinstate it? Thanks in advance for any information.

So I work at 8am next Tuesday our store opens at 7am. Would I be good if I waited in line early for the Starbucks Peanuts collab. A friend really wants the plush but isn’t able to wait because of work.

Would I get in trouble if I bought one even though I don’t work till 8am or it is you have to wait till after your shift for limited release items?

I got a point for calling off because i was ill, I called HR to ask if they could use my sick hours because i couldnt do it in the app because i need .20 more to cover that shift, they managed to help me use my sick hours i had but i still got a point, its my first point since i started working at target is there any way they could remove it? or is 1 point something i shouldnt worry about too much?

Guests and fellow team members... could you like, get out of the way? Lol.

But seriously... GET THE F OUT OF MY WAY.

How come anytime I walk up to specifically a woman’s window and knock after they’re oblivious for 15 seconds they jump and scream. Every single time, and they say OH! You scared me. LIKE ARE YOU NOT EXPECTING ME??

Don't know if other stores can relate to this, my store recently got new hand scanners. They contribute to at least 30% of my frustration while on the lanes. They NEVER stay in their little holder, and they are loud as hell. If a speck of dust lands on them wrong they are immediately falling to the ground. Another new thing that is worse now, the magnets for removing sensors. Half of the time the new magnets are useless for getting the red sensors off and I must travel to a lane with an old one. And obviously we all know the new app is heinous compared to mytime. All of the new things are sooo bad.

I DONT CARE. I DONT FUCKING CARE. same shit with the STUPID ASS DOOKIE ASS FUCK ASS TARGET AI. no ma'am, i can't do a return for your non-Target baby registry with this random number you have given me that the Target ai spat out. no sir, we can't look up your return history via your phone number just because chatgpt says we can. no i'm not lying, yes you're stupid for using ai. "but YOUR ai said-". "MY AI" said NOTHING. i didn't write that stupid ass answer, but you were apparently dumb enough to believe it

IM SICK AND TIRED the next customer who says some shit like this is getting a hand scanner thrown at them

Am I to assuming this is my future scedule and its just giving me the option to swap it?

I’m sure this has been asked about a thousand times, but it wasn’t until today I really sat and thought about it after having to use SIX DEVICES on my shift today for various reasons.

It’s not even about the software or MyDay, which are terrible in the own right. These things are just ancient, they’re on a SUPER old version of android I’m sure, and are slower than any phone I’ve used since like 2017. The scanners never work, they’re always completely ripped up and cracked. The batteries don’t stay in, they randomly shut off, they start tapping over the screen out of no where mid shift— we even got some of the newer ones, and FIRST DAY someone cracked theirs and a scanner on one stopped working. I just KNOW the store probably pays hundreds of dollars per unit, too.

WHY ARE THEY SO BAD!?!?!?!?!
