  Cart Attendant Hell

  Most people will probably see this as an angry ex-employee that’s mad because he got fired. But this one is just for the archives, it doesn’t really matter if anybody reads this or not. This is for my own closure.

   

  Being a Cart Attendant at Target has made me feel the more insignificant and unappreciated than I have ever had in my whole life. It is one of the worst jobs in a retail position but it also happens to be the one of most important jobs. It’s like the big toe on the human body, it’s such a small, and insignificant piece. And you feel as if you would be the same off if you cut it off, but then if you tried to walk or even stand, you would fall to the ground. As a college student with no work experience, I wasn’t expecting anything much better, and I was willing to accept that, but a little bit of slack would have gone a long way for me.

  Fucking Redcards.

  Working at target fucking sucks. It is a fucking shithole. ESPECIALLY if you are a cashier or work at the customer service desk. A majority of floor leaders (not all of them, but most) act superior to you because they don’t have to work the registers. Listen here, motherfuckers. We have to deal with customer after customer, excuse me… “guests”, complaining over the most goddamn stupid shit I have ever heard of in my life, not to mention the FUCKING REDCARDS. Let me tell you something about redcards… NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. NO ONE WANTS ONE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP HARRASSING ME TO SELL THEM. IF IT IS THAT IMPORTANT WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING GO SELL THEM ASSHOLE. Jesus fucking christ the amount of nagging you endure everyday to push the sells of recards is ridiculous. And the one day you don’t feel like asking because you feel like shit and don’t even want to be there, they come over and get mad at you about it.

  And it doesn’t end there.

  T1846 Can I help you find something?

  …my fucking sanity!!!

  life in the ghetto can be an adventure but life at target is misery. Everyone is out for their own and can care less about the person next to them. If they like you them you have nothing to worry about but if they dislike you WATCH YOUR BACK!!! They are snakes and they will work their magic to get rid of you.

   

  I see a lot of cashiers and gstl’s get harassed over the damn red cards and wonder why they put up with that shit. The GSA’s are damn fools for doing the same as a GSTL but minus $3 am hour. Is it really worth it? I know they need a job but come on girls you’re all better than that. Target Cafe is hell and everyone seems stressed out. Hard lines well they’re away Fromm the front but I’m sure we have unhappy issues too. Backroom is really away from all the bullshit which is good.

  P-fresh have their own little world and can basically avoid the nonsense. Cart attendants: I admire them cause pushing carts is a bitch. Guest service is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get!!! Photo lab??? What’s that??? Oh the place that no one is scheduled at but there’s always random people at??? Oh yeah I know that place it just collects dust. Lets see oh soft lines it’s like a labyrinth, enter at your own risk!

  FUCK THE VIBE!

  I didn’t think that Target’s culture could get more stupid than calling customers “guests”…enter the vibe. I have termed this vibullshit. I am all for being respectful to our customers and helping them find items in the store but “creating moments” is just a stupid ass idea. I cannot believe that people got paid to come up with this bullshit.

  Fuck Target ETL’s at T1846

  They’re all a bunch of morons and dumb fucks. They can care less about team members as human beings instead they treat us like puppets on a string. All Erika J does is hang out in the AP office watching people on camera throughout her shift. She walks in pairs with other ETL’s like if they can’t work alone. Oh and I hope there’s not a backup in the front lanes cause none of the ETL’s respond to it cause they’re too busy hanging out in Callen’s office or Erika’s office having a buffet. Little does Rebecca know what goes on with her ETL’s once she’s out of the building. Everything is just so unfair and the stores morale is rock bottom…but who cares right? Just keep driving those fucking red cards…fuck all that!

  I hate Target

  I have been with my store for almost 3 years and get treated like shit every single day. I work in the cafe and get no respect even though I have been there longer than most the fucktards there. I ought to be manager but they keep hiring morons who are incapable of doing the most basic tasks (ordering, doing any work what so ever, ect).

  well tonight I had a group of guests straight from the pits of hell. Teens being rude, calling me names, cursing at me, just doing anything they could to make the last 5 minutes the worst they could. Well I was venting to my coworker behind the counter with no one in sight. not 5 minutes later the Lod comes up yelling that I was talking crap about a guest and they had called. ok I can admit that I was venting, hell she should have been happy I didnt yell at the guests themselves.

  This is where I get really pissed off, not 10 minutes after that do I hear my Lod bad talking another guest in the middle of the lobby. Hello – I just got yelled at by you for this and you’re doing it now? what the fuck ever. Target takes advantage of anyone they can. Half the people I know who work here have been had target steal from them when they leave. They withhold their last checks and shit.  They also refused to give me my paid maternity leave after approving it. but they lost both copys of it so I couldnt report it.  So glad I have an interview tomorrow and can hopefully leave this place forever. I wouldnt wish this place on satan let alone the fucks who were messing with me tonight

  Another Day in Hell…

  George Carlin once said there are three types of people you run into each day: those who are fucking stupid, those who are full of shit, and those who are fucking nuts…the leadership of Target is all three!

  Not to mention some of the people who shop at this hell-hole.

  I start my morning to the piece of shit walrus-looking mother fucker who starts flipping out at me even before the store has opened. He’s a Hardlines TL who claims he saw me (a cashier) just standing at a register and not doing shit. He yells at me to zone the candy and “we’re going live in two minutes, get the candy zoned!”

  Target Canada is just as worse

  I got hired for Target in March of 2013. They were looking for Team Members to set up the store and be there when the doors were opened for the first time. The sales in Ontario were great, black Friday every day. So I has hired as a cashier, promised 40 hours in the first month of opening, and at least 25 hours a week to qualify for part time benefits. It was great, setting up the store, making new friends, knowing who I was going to be working with. The planarama hours were great, 30+ a week, they were making everyone happy.

  Store 2255

  So I worked at a store in Washington, MO #2255. When I started reading these I started to understand it wasn’t just myself having these problems as well. So 2255 in piss fresh I don’t understand how the TL is able to have her brother in law work under her. That is baffling for being a conflict of interest but they allow it. Ha the prime real estate days off he got weekends off almost all the time and I got none lol. I worked retail for a long period of time in all honesty and never dealt with as much shit as you do working with target.

   

  Loved how the hr girl tried to bust my balls about the close/open shifts till I got a restriction note telling her to go fuck her self, lol. How about the winter hours some weeks not even scheduled and some weeks being scheduled 5-10 hours. LOL what a joke for wasting some ones time.
