…money. What we need to do as employees is to hit Target where it hurts. Specifically, we need to be able to nail them on labor law violations and then either turn them in to the proper authorities, or better yet find a lawyer and sue them if you have standing. This is going to require everyone to document everything that happens DAILY. Write down everything that seems relevant; dates, times and places.
We need to read up on the labor laws, and know our rights. There are Federal and State laws designed to protect us as employees. A little solidarity between employees wouldn’t hurt either. From what I’ve seen, every TL and ETL (including HR) are on the same page with each other. We need to be the same way.
Venting is fine, but really what ultimately needs to happen is unionization, or at least some ground needs to be given to the employees of Target in the form of better benefits, working conditions and wages.
It’s pretty depressing right now as a poverty-level wage slave. Everyone at my store seems to be throwing each other under the bus. There are many who are straight up rats. They run to management if they see or hear something that is against corporate policy, or if it’s something they think will score them favors from management. Little do they know they’re being used like a rag.
That’s my 2 cents, what do you guys think?

(4) Come into work one day. It is 95 degrees outside at 90 percent humidity. Hit those sliding glass doors and it is hotter inside the fucking building than out!!! We actually went outside in the heat because it felt better. Guests had the fucking nerve to ask if the AC was broke!! No you dumb bitch, we like it this way!!! The manager told us that the AC was not broke. They controlled it from corporate in Minnesota!! Get the fuck out of here with your lying ass bullshit.

Likes(34)Dislikes(6) It was my first day working fitting room, I dreaded this day because I knew I would have to do the announcements. 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!
Likes(43)Dislikes(17) I work at Target Canada. 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.
Likes(10)Dislikes(4) I work at Target Canada, I’m not sure if it will be the same for the States but I think this system is country wide for us. What is WITH these things? 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) The Target in Hackensack is a terrible place to work at!! One Lod’s name is John and he’s an asshole! He thinks his shit dont stink!! He times ppl when they go on breaks and if your 1 min late coming back he’ll confront you. I believe he’s acting out like this is because he needs to get laid!!! The store changed it’s over night crew from 10pm-7am with truck coming at 10pm to 4am-12pm with truck coming at 4am now!! Everyone is scattered all over the place with shit all over the salesfloor when store opens up at 8am. Also, there’s never any equipment to work with when you come in to start your shift and your suppose to sign the guns and walkies out! Then John gets on everyone’s cases about signing the equipment out. How the fuck you going to sign them out when there’s nothing there??? Use the brain god gave you god dammit!!! Stupid ass ppl!!! The store should burn to the ground!
