So, I started working at Target in the softlines section yesterday. I am working seasonal. This is my first job EVER. I’ve never had previous cash register experience or retail experience at all. Yesterday, I was only trained on the register for about an hour and a half-2 hours. I think I got the hang of using the register, but i’m definitely not perfect yet! I’m pretty slow. Today was my second day and I was being trained in the softlines section. First of all, I feel like everything has been so unorganized. My originally-designated trainer didn’t even know she was supposed to be training me! So a team leader just chose a random worker from softlines to train me. Then a manager found me while my trainer was away at one point, and asked me to backup on the cash registers but I couldn’t do it because I wasn’t even “in the system” yet.

(7) in 2007 I got hired in Las Vegas to work at a new Target up the street from me. My job was known as “zoning.” I pull the merchandise forward on the racks, and create the illusion that they are stuffed full with merchandise. My hours were every single fucking day – 2pm to typically 1 in the morning.
Yes. Extremely easy. But dancing monkey jobs are not fulfilling. My start pay was $6.50. Even with full time hours, I barely made two hundred dollars every pay check. My ninety day raise was five cents.
I had no life. I missed on out numerous amazing family experiences and events. Could not afford to move out on my own, or buy a new car. I worked has hard as I could, and there was no pay off at the end of the day. I firmly believe that if you’re going to devote your entire existence to an occupation, there should be something in it for you.

To give an example of how my fucking day goes: Yesterday I had a lady w a Gain laundry detergent and when I went to ring it up it had a tear in it that spilled some of it all fucking over my counter and floor… so basically I have to pick up the fucking phone and hit “0” to get the operator. Guess who the fucking operator is? A fucking newbie who has no fucking CLUE what the fuck to do. I call her and I’m like “hi I need an item replacement on isle 9” and she then calls someone and leaves a MESSAGE “isle 9 needs something”. So I call back in 3 mins after fucking NO ONE shows up and I’m like “um are sending someone?” her fucking response:

The LOD who picked up did not believe me one Bit. To that I had to go to the doctors and bring in a note To excuse me from work. I’m a very hard worker there, even though I’m a cashier. My speed score is always 90% and my red cards are acceptable. During my 90 day review I got great comments . But I feel like target is fucken Taking advantage of me. when I take weekends off , which isn’t a lot but I need a break from them. I get called unreliable. UnfckenrelIable! This store doesn’t even know how to say my name. Neither do they ask how to say it. my TL always tells me to be globe , how am I suppose to talk to anyone if I get in trouble for speaking to coworkers cause I’m not “working”. this past Saturday , I had a sinus infection and felt like I was going to past out at work. I told my TL he told me find a manger so I did. went to the back room another worker told them over the radio . Apparently he cleared it for me to go home. Nobody told me anything . I went to find someone to cover my shift. Two mangers saw me I spoke to them. They had the nerve to tell me to go back on register regardless of how I feeling. ARE YOU FUCKEN SERIOUS. they weren’t even listening or bothering to pay attention to a word I said . took me an hr to finally get my hr’s attention . I told him how I felt about being a cashier . About how the store doesn’t know how to say my name and how I hate being there. He listened and told me he okay it for me for leave an hr ago. I fucken hate target. I’m debating if I should put my two weeks in. I have so many other stories. I fucken hate this place but it’s a job. But I’m only 18 I shouldn’t feel depress about working or be taken advantage of .

I hate “pushing” cashiers and “pushing” guests to apply for red cards. The store has had the highest turnover (including management) i’ve ever seen since I started a few years ago. I’m pretty sure the management is looking to drop me after fourth quarter…so i’m kinda wondering if having a Psyche BA and GSA experience counts for anything, in regards to to looking for a new job. I am now mentally exhausted and I don’t think I can give my full effort to this company any longer. I’m tired of being disrespect by cashiers, guests, and team leads/ETLs. I’m tired of disrespecting cashiers, ‘guests, and team leads/ETLs. The only reason I’m still there is because I don’t wanna screw over the team before Black Thursday (i mean Friday) and the holiday rush. I’m just curious as if I can count being a GSA as management/supervisor experience. Thanks in advance for any advice. Love live life.

I started out in flow, moved to backroom, and for the last year and a 1/2 I’ve been working under the title of Space Management. For the entire duration of my time at Target I have worked tirelessly to show my bosses and peers that I’m ready for more responsibility ( hence the reason I’ve been moved drastically to better positions in rapid succession). I’ve put in for three open management positions and all three times I was not even interviewed.
Likes(31)Dislikes(4) I’m fairly new to the cash register… The holidays are coming up and I really need some advice on what it’s like to work as a cashier during the holidays. I know it’s going to be super crowded.Does that mean that time will go by fast since everyone is going to be at the registers? How many cashiers do they hire? Also, I’m scared that my conversions are going to go down cause I know the computer is going to prompt us like crazy…also the rude guests? How do I deal with them?
Just any advice you all can offer to me to make sure I don’t blow it?
Thanks!

As a direct result, I did not show up, nor did I call in because I thought I was off. The next morning on Sunday, I was talked to by an LOD. He told me I would be given a warning and not to do it again. End of story, right? WRONG. 2 weeks later (today), I go into work and called back into an office room by the ETL and terminated because of the no-call, no-show.
Likes(54)Dislikes(32) My 90 day eval is coming up next week I’m so nervous. I dealt with a rude customer a while ago which really upset me and they knew that…afraid they won’t wanna keep me around.I’m a cashier and I’ve managed to get 5 red cards in the course of 3 months. I’m not exactly sure what my conversion is. Anyways, what do I expect at a 90 day evaluation? I’m so nervous! I really wanna be cross trained! How can I achieve that?!
Likes(4)Dislikes(27) yesterday was my last day working for Tarshit..I havent felt this happy since I started working there. I tried my best to make it work there but this is a HORRIBLE company to work for…and Ive workedfor Walmart..even they didnt treat me as horrible as this company. Their high standards are impossible and the rewards are a joke. I will not support this company in the future..I will not spend a dime there..I hear people quit bc the company treats them badly but yet they STILL shop there..wtf!? DONT support this greedy corp in any way! Im just glad I left three weeks before BF :))))))
