Target Sucks - We Hate Target and We Know We're Not Alone.

Archives / May 2013

  • So I’ve worked at Target for almost 2 years and I just got my review(woohoo! a 12 cent raise because I’ve worked their for 22 months, so my pay is not $8.22) and during my review the GSTL told me that my attendance was at 95% and my cashier speed was 98%. She said that most people don’t have the 95% attendance and would love for everyone to have it that high. I was so happy, someone was actually acknowledging me for something good that I do, since I get almost no stupid REDcards.

    So I went back out to my lane and I was asking almost every guest. I was asking the way they told me ask, by “engaging” with them, blah blah blah, and then that same GSTL has to just hover over me the whole night, telling me to make sure I push the “additional assistance” button when there is a backup, or circling the survey. REALLY? Does anyone care about the survey? NO! And no one wanted a stupid REDcard. How am I supposed to get to our store goal of 2.05 conversion when no one wants a card?!! last year the goal was 1.05% and I was barely there, now it has raised and it’s just gotten ridiculous!

    Whenever one of the annoying GSTL’s or LOD/ETL is on shift, they always just stand near my lane, making sure I’m doing my job and then they find some stupid way to criticize me.

    Why do all the people that tell me every single day to get a REDcard never have to actually be on a lane and get a REDcard? I want them to see how “easy” it really is, forcing these people to get card.

  • So I’ve been working as a cashier at Target for almost 2 years now and it has increasingly gotten more and more intolerable to work at my location. When I started working at Target they barely cared about their REDCard sales at all. If you got one a week, then great job. With new managers coming in throughout the time, it has gone from just gently nagging us about shoving these REDCards down peoples throats, to forcing us to make every single guest get a STUPID REDCard!! I’ve been “talked” to every day for the past week about making sure that I’m “driving” REDCard sales and that I am “engaging” with the guests. I’m engaging all right, I just don’t want to force these innocent people to give all their money to Target.

    It just depends on how horrible these next few days go, but unless they stop telling me to interact with the guests, which I’m already doing perfectly well, then I might be quitting soon.

    They love you if you get REDCards, and they completely ignore you if you don’t get any.
