I posted in this forum not too long ago, but after 4 years of working at corporate misery, I finally put in my 2 week notice. The way Target treats their employees is unreal. I got scheduled at the oddest hours. I might be 3-10pm one night and then scheduled to work 4am the next morning, since it’s not at least 8 hrs in between. I would either get off at 8pm or start the next day at 6am. I always got coached over something petty. Everytime my leader came around I would get annoyed, but still nervous because I knew she was going to say I did something wrong. I’ve worked every position in the store except AP, Starbucks, and SFT. After 4 years I now only make 9.44 an hr in California. They talked down on me, Gave me unrealistic expectations and was never given recognition for actually finishing those tasks 100%. Instead I get a lecture on something else that wasn’t done their way.

(4) Well people. It just happened. I was fired and I am innocent. So come around a read my story.
One specific day, I had a cashier shift. I hate it very much because it feels like I am on acid. Anyway, I like to make jokes with the guest, having fun with it and making them smile. One specefic guest is in my lane and asks me if the survey is real? To remind you, the survey is that last part on the receipt where you have a chance to win a $1500 gift card. I said to the guest, ‘Honestly, I’m not so certain, but I do remember overhearing that someone did win it. They leave. I turn around to ask a quick question to my coworker and say, ‘Are the surveys real?’ I had all intentions to ask a return to my job. These two guest were the rudest people in the line. The female told me in a rude manner, ‘can you just ring me up?’ I do my job.

I’m talking standing around for all breaks and lunches calling each other “f*****s” and describing penis. That was so obnoxious I couldn’t take it anymore. Now with not many options (applying at 60+ places and calling, no call backs despite promises) I applied at Target once again. I just got a rejection letter from those bastards. Me. I’ve been working for this company for a long damn time and they reject me? Now I suppose my vacation periods stand out, because I tend to submit two weeks notice before taking months off at a time. Standard vacation requires a year and the time is small. Add that to the fact my grandmother died and inheritance + policy is something I can relax on for awhile. Not forever. I need work.
I don’t just hate Target. I hate this city.

That sharp, grating, bitchy tone that snaps at you in the middle of your work like some pissed-off grandma who never makes cookies, despite her promises to do so. That grandma that sits in the casino on Keno Night, slamming her bony, gaudy-ringed fingers on that “Draw” button faster than a woodpecker can drill a borehole. That grandma that smokes too much and doesn’t like her grandkids, because she didn’t like (or plan) her own kids to begin with.
…The lady’s voice on the Target walkie.

I’ve got your back. I survived 5 years at Target–not because I was a rule-abiding “Team Member”, but because I knew about my Store Team Lead’s extramarital affair…with another Senior Team Lead in the store. Who, by the way, had a giant fucking camel toe. This shit was ridiculous. It looked like a folded mattress in her pants.

(1) Never work hard. Ever. If at all possible, only “pretend” to work hard when there is a guests nearby, at which point, you are to bury your head into your PDA and walk away as fast as you can.
Likes(100)Dislikes(11) I still hate Target, even after 3 years of not working there after I quit with 2-weeks notice. I seriously fucking HATE Target. Living in a small-ish Montana town, I don’t have a whole shitload of options as to where to shop, unless I wanna go and battle the white trash at Wal Mart for the last can of spray cheese. And let’s be honest; no one’s gonna win the battle against a raging bowling alley fat mama who wants her fuckin’ spray cheese and she wants it NOW. I’m a buck-twenty-five; I can’t risk being squished by a large Marge who has gotta have her Ritz and cheese for a midnight snack attack. But I digress.
