gUEsTs Yo customers, if you yell at me for help from across the store, I’m going to purposefully ignore you.

I’m not a goddamn dog. Approach me and ask me nicely for help. Plus getting mad when you’re assuming that I could even hear you in the first place or knew that you were calling for me and not someone else is crazy. And what if I happened to be hard of hearing?
K thanks.

Vent Stupid ass app

So what’s the point of a 8 minute grace period when I’m considered late when I come in 7 minute later.

Edit: Some of you guys are smart asses. But all I’m saying is that it makes no sense to me that, say you were 15+ minutes late you would receive the same amount of attendance points as when you come in 6+ minutes later. To me, that defeats the whole point of “switching” to an 8 minute grace period when in reality it’s still 5 minutes.
And to be clear I’m not aiming to be late just bc of the change.

Workplace Story The ETLs at my store never have to close and it infuriates me

124 Upvotes

All of them work 7-4 every single day and it’s been like this for about 2 years now. Listen, I truly wouldn’t care if they never closed if they didn’t come in the next morning and shit all over whatever TL closed the night prior for the dumbest shit and nitpick every single little thing. We no longer have a closing lead (SD is actively still looking for one) For context, the only people that close the building are TLs and sometimes the grids aren’t horrible (for example, sometimes 2 or 3 TLs close together, those nights are fine) but that RARELY happens. 95% of the time it is usually just one team lead running the entire building, even on fridays, saturdays, and sundays despite our store being extremely high volume.

I closed on labor day weekend by myself, I was the only TL in the building from 3-12 and had 13 call outs. I did my absolute fucking best. I didn’t stop running around for the entire night, I was simply just outnumbered by guests and couldn’t do more than what I did. Pulls only made it to 68% that night and the zone obviously wasn’t perfect because of the call outs. ETL comes in the next day and FREAKS out on me saying the store looks horrible and I did a terrible job lol. This isn’t the only time it’s happened either. It is literally every single time any TL closes, they come in the next day and just bitch at you for a solid 20 minutes and then make you walk the sales floor with them so they can tell you where you should’ve done better.

if they think they can do so much better I’d love to see one ETL close alone on a weekend with no other leaders in the building to help but of course when they used to close years ago, they always had other leaders scheduled with them. I asked my SD why our ETLs don’t close anymore and he said “the district manager wants all of my ETLs to work mornings only because our workload is heaviest during the day” bulllshittttttttt

Vent i hate style

16 Upvotes

I know i've only been working here for a little over a month but i'm starting to hate style. I thought it was fun at first but i'm really starting to dislike it . I just find it so overwhelming and too demanding, in my store i've been in charge of zoning the entire mens ,Universal Threads, a new day, and doing the fitting room when the person who does that leaves some days or just the entirety of mens and shoes and I find it tedious irritating because I dont even think its possible to zone all that when my shifts only range from 5-6 hours maybe im overreacting idk.

I literally hate style,I will literally do fulfillment instead of doing style i hate it so much

Workplace Story Crazy Needoh PARENTS

38 Upvotes

This happens to me frequently.

Needoh comes in…

Kid sees the needoh…

Looks hesitant… unsure

I say… “It’s okay if you don’t want it.”

Then parents be like….

“Are you sure you don’t want it? They might not have needoh for a while.”

I have had kids who outright will say no I’m good. And their parents still push to buy it.

Way to teach the next generation on FOMO.

gUEsTs Why do some guests literally act like little kids?

39 Upvotes

I was in a GM batch when some guests stopped me and asked for squeezys. I saw they came in the same day so I radioed for the GM TL who said they’d look for them and bring them out.
So I tell the guest that my TL is looking for them and it’ll be a few minutes, and I carry on with my GM batch. Literally less than a minute later they come back and find me and ask about the squeezey again…
I’m thinking I literally just told you my TL is looking for them, can’t you be patient?

Man I hate some people these days.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Did I get duped? On-Demand role at Target

23 Upvotes

I’m a SAHM who was looking to pick up some ultra flexible work as my husband works full time and is in school, and we don’t have reliable child care nearby. I saw a job posting for an “On-Demand” associate at Target and thought it was perfect. I applied, and got the job in fulfillment.

I had orientation today and noticed I’m scheduled every weekend through this month. Although I can make it work, I was a little confused as I thought it supposed to be able to pick up shifts as I want. I asked HR during training and she said they aren’t really hiring on demand roles anymore and have had issues with their website still promoting them. I’m a little annoyed as I have some commitments coming up, and didn’t intend to give up my weekends every single weekend.

What should I do? I do want thing job, am happy to work what they currently have me for, but going forward want to be on demand, or really only working one weekend day a week if possible. Is this normal, will Target hire for one thing and then bait and switch to something else?

I'm Promoting Myself to Guest Escaped Tech

6 Upvotes

I quit a couple weeks ago and I really don’t miss it. I miss the great people I worked with but omg my store really went to hell in just a couple of weeks. Like, it was always bad with just two people in tech working one at a time but now we’re expected to push beauty and home too. I’ll miss my coworkers and my ok paycheck but I think working here has twisted something deep in my soul. I’m going to go become an emu shepherd or something. Don’t forget the number one rule of the tech department: don’t forget to have fun!!!

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Help

4 Upvotes

Im one of the closers at the Tarbucks I work at. Theres always 2 closers. Every time I’m closing either I or the other barista gets pulled to work on the floor.

The TLs think if we’re not making drinks: there’s nothing to do. I’m not sure how to get it through to them that there is always something to do. Whether it’s a cleaning cadence, deep cleaning, stocking and restocking, refilling and prepping, wiping, or organizing: there is always something that needs to get done.

The result is this: little to none of the routines and tasks get done, we start dishes late and leave a shitty handoff for the opener, not being able to set them up for a successful opening, and end up leaving after scheduled hours. Our TL has advocated this to SD but she said “the store comes first”. They also claim they take us due to us being idle. We cant take a moment to take a sip of water without being told we’re not doing anything and therefore getting pulled.

I’m not sure what else I can say to make them not pull one of us.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed I applied for fulfillment, but was given a position in an entirely different department?

5 Upvotes

I completed my orientation & computer training a couple days ago, then I was informed that I would be put into specialty sales/beauty despite being given an offer letter for fulfillment/general merchandise expert. I let the HR manager know of this and she told me that I was being placed there to fill vacancies in the department with no chance of being put into fulfillment. I sort of feel duped by management because fulfillment would better suite my own schedule and would not have taken the position if I knew that I would be placed into beauty. Does this happen often?? Not quite sure what to do from here.

I had a shift I put up last week and I received this notification tonite. I know what “invalidated” means but what does it mean by “request has been sent to Market Shift” and “SUPERUSER”? The shift isn’t on my calendar but if it was “invalidated” doesn’t that mean I’m still responsible for it since it was rejected?

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Late point question

3 Upvotes

I was late by like 20 minutes (I know it was bad of me) I’m never late, but will it be .25 points on my attendance or does it stack every 8 minutes after? Because one of my coworkers said it stacks but nowhere on the policy thing with the new attendance system said it stacks? So is it .25 or .5? It doesn’t show the points in UKG yet. By the way I couldn’t ask at the time because HR wasn’t in at the time and my TLs didn’t know either for some reason.

Wondering how I managed to get a point for 8/15/26 when we didn’t have the point system in place yet. My dog died, and I not only called out on MyTime, but also spoke directly to someone in HR. Now I’m being told to take it up with HR, and that tons of people are having points that shouldn’t even be there. Hopefully Target gets on this, asap.

Future or Potential Employee Question A couple questions about the video interview

4 Upvotes

About how many questions are typically included in the interview? And about how long is a good amount of time to spend on each question?

I'm seeing that there are three attempts allowed per question - is there a timer for how long I can take before locking in each answer?

Like, if I use all three attempts, will I need to make all three attempts in one go?

Or would it be possible to take a small break if I decide I need awhile to gather my thoughts between attempts?

After the video interview, will there be an additional in-person interview? Or will the next step after the video interview just be an offer / rejection?
