I work in san diego 2232 my store is one of those where everything goes wrong all the time but if theres a visit we are a perfect store, in fact my store is a “model store” but managers there are freakin r******d. Right now they’re hiring a bunch of seasonal people when theres no hours at all. Just yesterday the whole team (flow) was sent back home on a truck day after working 3 hours so after our first break we were all asked to clock out they only kept the same 5 people who stay all the time (kiss-ass people) and it really sucks for some people like me because I only work 9 hours this week 4.5 today and i was supposed to work 4.5 yesterday and i only worked 3 instead… How do they think we can survive working 9 hours a week??!?!

(8) Hey guys, I am a seasonal team member that started recently. I heard that I might end around the end of January but I want to end it at the end of December since I have a new semester with a different schedule. Should I give a two week’s notice two weeks before New Years? Should I just quit when I recieve my paycheck at the end of December? I hope I can survive another month of this intolerable place.

Being a cart attendant, I knew I was going to get shit on by the higher ups, however there was one instance where a guest shit his pants and tried to flush the shitty underwear down the toilet, however it did not go down, so after he wiped he proceded to go more on top of the toilet paper wall and shitty underpants. Also, I’m guessing when he was taking off the pants that poo was spilling out the underwear because there was shit all over the floor and on top of the toilet. I was told to clean it up and that’s it. They didn’t give me anything, just a fucking plunger. So I had to scramble to find anything that I think would clean it up and get rid of the smell, along with layers of gloves. Then after it’s all finished and I’m walking back, I get bitched at that there are no carts at the entrances. I’m sorry, I was just in the middle of a bio hazard and it took me a while to clean up. Maybe if you scheduled more than one cart attendant we wouldn’t have this problem.

This ad in particular has kids pulling a giant golden turkey bone. It’s an old thanksgiving tradition, well not normally a golden or oversized one. I’m surprised since retailers like Target have forced some people to do away with Thanksgiving traditions and follow what is now “Black Thursday” traditions. Thanksgiving is as dead as a turkey.

I am completely bored with my job position and have wanted to cross-train other areas of the store. In fact, on my last annual review I actually got a negative checkmark because I wasn’t cross trained despite my efforts of trying to be. (another angry story for another time)
Likes(16)Dislikes(0) So I’ve been at Target about a month and I’m done. I was just using it as a filler job until I found something better. I have another job lined up so now I just want to stop showing up to work. I don’t want to give a two weeks notice and I don’t want to tell them I’m quitting. I don’t plan to use them as a reference and I have other work experience. So i’m just wondering how this will impact me negatively? I’ve never done this before i’ve either quit or given my two weeks. Would I have to go back to get my last (first) paycheck? (I have direct deposit set up) Also they haven’t even made me fill out my tax paperwork which I thought you should fill out when you get hired…so should I do that on mytime before I go? Trying to leave this place and avoid it afterward at all costs. Thanks for the help fellow haters of Target.

I overheard one of my other team members say they minimized the training for seasonal employees, but my training almost seems nonexistent. The only decent training I had was on registrars, and the other trainers just hand me stuff to reshop for them. The day after my first day they had me work a full shift without a trainer, but I was so confused and I honestly didn’t know what I was doing. My other team members always seem annoyed when I ask for help. This is my first job too.

-Disclaimer to any of my Softline TM or the guy in the backroom who quit right before I did. You guys were the best TM ever. Fuck the higher ups.-
I’m 18, a full time student, and worked at the busiest, and richest(meaning guests were hella rich), Target in my area. I’m talking Tiger Woods, Shaq, and owner of all the West Gate Resorts kind of rich(he’s building the biggest family home in america. 52 bathrooms big). I get it your RICH! But you don’t have to be so mean or creepy(we’ll get to that in a bit). This was my second job, first in retail. I don’t know if all retail is like this, but if it is, I don’t ever want to do retail again.

People get taken away from family just for assholes who want 5 bucks off a flat screen. People have died at Black Friday from being trampled peoples bones have been broken. My manager 8 years ago got knocked over and he’s a tall guy. He dislocated his knee and couldn’t work for 8 months. And why? Because of assholes who want 4 bucks off of tampons. The thought of Black Friday makes me so angry. I thought about this in the comfort of my room for an hour. I hate the thought of Black Friday. When I leave target I will never attend a Black Friday for any reason. Guest are fuckin annoying enough but when you pull me away from my family when you pull hardworkers away from there kids. I just can’t stand the thought. I straight up told my team lead etl and manager “schedule me on Black Friday period and I will call in” they didn’t listen and well if they fire me that’s there problem. My best wishes to everyone who has to sit through a wave of assholes. I needed this out of my system
Likes(38)Dislikes(3) So I’m back room and for those who don’t know we have to handle FA which is pretty much for lazy people. For awhile people are actually using it for minor stuff like maybe some medicine baby stuff, a toy or a cd. About 4 months ago I check FA and boom there’s one in there. Usually whoever sees it calls it out and whoever turn it is does it. So it was my turn I had to go to lunch but I thought I could finish it quick. Then I see the size of the FA… 25 Dpci and 40 items total. I start it but I can’t finish it in time before my 5 hours so I stay a little longer still not done and I’m about I hit meal compliance. This bitch litterally just used FA for her shopping list. I was so pissed. Who the fuck is this lazy I fuck hope I never see this woman or I swear I will call her out on it. So I couldn’t hold myself back.
