I have been at Target for 2 1/2 years back in electronics. Something I don’t understand is – why can’t we use our employee discounts with debit/credit cards that aren’t redcards? I find it completely ridiculous! Not everyone wants a fucking REDCARD!! It drive sales blah blah blah makes Target look good blah blah blah. You know what would make Target look good? Fire.

(6) I was working in my usual work center – electronics – when my coworker asks me to help him print a rain check for a guest – it’s for a phone. As I am typing in the code and the DPCI I overhear him talking to the guest about how she works at a different Target and how she was cashier and blah blah blah. So the rain check said “quantities are limited, no rain check available” or whatever the damn things says. I tell the guest this and she says “well they told us we could get a rain check”. No idea who “they” is, but you are dumb. I can’t override my register! Anyway, my coworker suggests going to the front and seeing if their registers would print it off. They cheerfully go on their way.

A 2,700 piece truck was to be thrown by only two people in under an hour and no cold water at the end cause it wasn’t in there “budget”. But yet they are able to decorate the break room with useless crap every month I mean really!!! When we did our remodel they hired a new team to replace the guys that went to over nights so when we got back to days after the remodel was finished the team they hired was horrible!

I hate public speaking, even though no one would be watching, everyone is fucking listening! In the Fitting Room Bible, they give you what you have to say when the time gets closer to 11.

There must have been a sign on me that said “I make the Fucking Sales Prices for Target, come to me”…..guest complain and get upset all the time when they realize their item isnt the price they thought it was..TOUGH FUCKING SHIT, MAN UP! I dont care if you found the fucking pillow in the clearance section, the machine says its not on clearance!

I was GSA today, and a “Guest” (are we going to call them all lovers eventually?) was talking to me like I was a piece of dirt for informing him that we don’t subscribe to the Canadian scanning code of conduct, which would make any item scanned wrong under 10 dollars free. He seemed to think it was some sort of hard law (he used the word charter…I don’t think you know what that word means), when it’s a voluntary policy. Now he was a dickbutt asswipe, so I really didn’t care about that, but once he was gone I started thinking he did have a point.

I’ve never seen a more buggy POS (they’re literally called that – how apt). I think I made more advanced cash systems in first year java course. They freeze for minutes at a time for no reason, grey screen regularly, switch buttons (like swapping debit and void) when you made no other input, and are all around pieces of shit. Honest Target – hire me as a programmer, a student could make something better than this.
Likes(16)Dislikes(3) First off I’ve been with Target corporation for about 3 years. And trust me when I say this, “Target is the most backwards idiotic corporation I know.” I have been “lucky” enough to work as a hardlines/ Market team member which is basically code for the stores little work slave. In my store, and I believe most Targets the market accumulates for roughly 60% of the store’s sales. That being said market team members are hassled (by the LOD’s) for the most insignificant of things. WE HAVE A TON OF SH** TO DO! Why in the world would you except 2 team members, and that’s two if where lucky to complete the QMOS, ZONE, CAFS, GUEST SERVICE and what ever BS you want us to do in two hours segments. I have no problem with working hard. I love working hard that’s why hello! i’m in college working my but off.

I’m still unemployed and looking for a job and while it is very frustrating, I have never been happier about a decision in my life. However, I got interviewed at Walgreens yesterday and guess what the fuck popped up on my interview process?!?! Those fuckers at Target put the I was fucking terminated even though I FUCKING quit!!!! You can imagine how fucking awkward it was for me when my interviewer asked me why I got terminated from Target. I asked her, what do you mean terminated?
Likes(34)Dislikes(14) I started working at Target in the Littleton area about three months ago and I am going to put in my two weeks notice tomorrow. I cannot stand these ungrateful assholes any longer. First, I always get shitty hours. Second, I cannot stand the lack of communication that there is within the damn store. For example, one manager will tell me to do something and the other will tell me not to.
