Are GSAs supposed to be in charge of FA? They are at the store I work at.
The only reason I have a problem with this is that our GSAs also go on major power trips. The only good one left right after my ninety days ended she was a genuinely nice person and she was fantastic at her job. The rest of them are either nice or know what they are doing. Occasionally both happen at the same time, but more often than not neither does. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike them all. I just hate working with most of them. Truthfully I just hate that they’re in charge because all sorts of things end up going wrong.

(7) Be aware of Target using their most friendly executives to exclaim how happy everyone team member is over the walkie this holiday season. For example, while team members are on the sales floor, an exec may over exclaim, “thank you” ” you’re all appreciated” “We’re all going to have a great Thanksgiving,” etc.. In the midst of employee rebellion, walmart strikes, protests, and social media campaigns exposing low wages, target will use their obedient executives to over exaggerate the happiness within each store with some innocent, naive employees replying back “your welcome” “anything for you . . . ” and other affirming replies. Just because some team members affirm the exec’s happy go lucky shout out over the walkie, it does not mean we agree, it does not mean we are happy with their favoritism, and it does not mean we enjoy target giving exec jobs to the privileged over the working class and poor, who dedicate years to target, hoping to become exec one day. It is important to consider joining the social media conversation about low wages because Walmart is the focus and Target is rarely mentioned. If one makes an alternate fb or social media account it might make voicing injustices easier. As one social media outlet suggests “troll them into submission.” This method resulted in jpmorgan canceling their twitter. Anyways, be aware this holiday season and keep fighting the good fight. #targetwatchdog #occupy #anonymous #targetsucks

I had a customer who was obviously pissed off, and of course, I asked him if he would like to save 5% by getting a Target REDCard… Now, my LOD,GSTL,TL WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU CALL THE MANAGER, told me I wasn’t selling enough REDCards and that I had to be more persistant.. so.. customer walks up, has maybe 8 items, so I have to be quick. Hello sir how are you on this fine evening? Guy says “fine” in a business-like manner, so I can tell he’s pissed off and in a rush. I ask him if he’d like to save 5 percent… no.

Plus I liked shopping at target so I couldnt argue with that! So the first day of training was an epic fail. We were taught nothing at all. I was hired as a cashier and was told nothing about the job description..or at least they left out a huge detail…those damn redcards. I’m pretty social. Though I don’t enjoy trying to enforce something that someone doesn’t want. Months passed and I was getting harrassed by my stupid manager every shift. Blah blah blah you can’t go home until you get a red card.

Likes(16)Dislikes(11) I’m 16, been working at Target for less than a month, and I already want to quit! The “guests” are rude and expect too much for a seasonal employee, plus I just started. The people who work there for the most part seem nice enough, but there is nobody at my store my age and they are all expecting too much of me. I’m on the Sales Floor, and I was never told which part of the Sales Floor I was hired for, like Hardlines or Softlines and nobody else knows. I get decent pay, at $11.50/h CAD but to me, who doesn’t need a job to support myself (yet), it’s not worth my mental well-being. It’s terrible job, and I would never recommend it to anybody. I have been calling in sick for the past 3 days because they are putting too much stress on me. anybody have ANY suggestions on how to quit QUICKLY? It’s very important to me. I’m at the Red Deer Alberta location.

most of the crap i rant about is kinda disorganized, so here’s a little about me to help you understand what’s going on: i’m what the gstl likes to call “talented” meaning i am cross trained in a few areas. what ever they want. yippee.
today i was so pissed off and disgusted with myself that i threw up half way during my shift. this happens like every week or so.
Likes(9)Dislikes(7) I’m a cashier at Target, I hate the hell out of it as I have never liked human interaction and have been anti social since my young life. Naturally I’m just an independent introverted person. I went to work today, I didn’t ask anybody about save 5% with our red card it’s great. My team lead talks to me in the HR office, why haven’t you done your job? What? “Your obligation is to ask the guests if they’d like the red card and tell them about the benefits.” Truthful as I am I said to her I’m sorry and that I am tired as I am always tired in the morning hours barely being able to focus.

There are a handful of people in the store who are very qualified to handle the position.Three of those people applied for the job but were told that they were hiring someone new to target who had more experience. If it were you, wouldn’t you feel like it would be a slap in the face?. I feel bad for the people who were turned down. I see them training this new person and see her talking down to them. I’m waiting for her to fall on her face. She is a young girl, who has no understanding that you have to be nice to people on the way up, because you will need them on the way down.
I do not understand target. This was by no means an improvement for the company. It has made an already low morale place, even worse.
Likes(7)Dislikes(1) I started working for target on the 5th of November. This is my very first job. I really did not need a job but I needed the experience. I am studying to become a Registered Nurse and later a CRNA. My first day was great because I had 2 wonderful ladies training me. However, the other 2 are just plain HORRIBLE. They are rude and look at me like I don’t know a thing. The 2 wonderful women that trained me were impressed as how fast I learned everything because of the fact that I never in my life cashiered. Anyway, those two are just plain rude and evil. They talk about employees that work under them like they’re worthless and scum.
