I was reluctant to write this but I figured if I could deter even one person from working at Target as cart attendant then I have succeeded.
I started working for target about 2 years ago,(quit just before my 2 years) took the job because I figured I could use some money and experience since it was my first job. The hiring process took about 2 weeks which wasn’t too bad. Although I have heard from several people that the hiring process took at least a month.

(8) I’m a cart attendant and I find all sorts of shit in carts from starbucks cups to diapers, to purses, to unopened food. Now, because I hate seeing perfectly good food go to waste I sometimes eat the said items whether it be a soda or chocolate bar.

The last few weeks to my surprise have been quite nice and that’s coming from someone who can’t stop for a single second to take a break because “carts”. However, naturally weekends are always busy and I mean hectic busy. I can’t help but wonder why is it that on the most busy days we only have 1 cart attendant scheduled at a time. Well, here’s my theory surrounding this issue.

It was yesterday that I heard over the walkie “can someone help a customer on C7?” To which the LOD replied “reminder guys, they are guests nor customers” and boy did I have to just nod my head for a solid minute just to express my distaste for this stupid “guest” bullshit.

I work as CA and I always have a walkie on me for (carryouts, carry-ins, restroom checkups, etc) and I’ve noticed a trend amongst GSTLS and LOD’s and other corporate puppets who have lost their ways. I remember talking to a recently new hiree and he asked me (as CA I am forced to learn cashier) when you’re cashier do GSTLS force you to push redcards?
