  Anyone can handout money a d run the front lanes

  Even the cart attendant has done it, is that crazy or what? They “MAKING” people who aren’t paid to be gsa’s or gstl’s to hold keys and handout money when the gsa’s and gstl’s are at break or lunch or if there was a call out by one of them. They use and abuse anyone as much as possible. Why don’t they get a TL to watch the front or an Etl since they’re always just walking around pretending to be busy but yet they walk joined at the hips like Siamese twins.

   

  Then you have electronics also pulling people who don’t know jack shit about accessories or attachments to go give them their break or lunch! Crazy crazy crazy. People who aren’t “trained” in certain departments get put to work there not having a clue or idea of the rules abs in food avenues case cleanliness!

  I guess they figure that team members are to scared to say NO! That’s why they get taken advantage of

  No experience? No problem you’re hired as an Etl just because you have a degree in Physic Education

  97% of all new etl’s don’t have at least one day in retail experience and they get hired by this company. Sure we’ll train you, just walk around and sit in the tsc and pretend to be busy on the computer. The best one yet is when the operations executive team leader is “training” the intern and as soon as his store team lead walks up to them “loafing” he replies: I was showing her what all we do at guest service with returns as he’s asked by his superior “what are you doing?”. Epic!!

  So basically if you have a degree in eating boogers just apply at your nearest target and you too can hold a key to the store and walk around and pretend to be a top performer when in reality you suck donkey dick.

  But anyway just roll with the punches wear ALOT of chap stick in case you get chapped lips from kissing ass to be in the “cool” circle. oh and wipe the tip of your nose once in a while from being a brown-noser too. Ya’ll should be ashamed and embarrassed.

  Target by Chollas Park, San Diego Ca

  I’m just glad I’m away from all the bullshit (kind of) since I work towards the bank of the store. Back to school is here again and lately I have seen ETL’s working it back there. Team work to the fullest, if only that could be an everyday thing and not just something that’s temporary due to this website. I guess they’re “trying”.

  My department (somewhere in the sales floor) is on the down low lol, hush hush hush! I just play it off and pretend I’m part of the ass kissing team to all the Lod’s haha shit is CRAY! I hear them talk about who’s posting this on the ihatetarget.net site and I nearly bust out laughing. Everyone a d I mean everyone is reading this site everyday. It’s like the newest fad in town.

  Even the flow team is on cue with this site, awesome team work great way to keep up to date on the latest. It’s like having a true life stories version of the RED magazine online. I want to recognize everyone who’s gotten fired, why? Cause you’re not dealing with the bullshit!

  I recently got a new tattoo and there was actually a target symbol with a big bullet going through it and I though that was epic. I guess someone else feels just the same as we do about target.

  Target Multi-Cultural Tips

  If you have not heard already, Target is being sued in the state of California for a  flyer released called “Multi-Cultural Tips.” The message was meant to teach LODs how to better manage Hispanic employees and not stereotype them. The ironic thing….the document stereotypes Hispanics.

  Here is some of the “suggestions”:

  a. Food: not everyone eats tacos and burritos;

  b. Music: not everyone dances to salsa;

  c. Dress: not everyone wears a sombrero;

  d. Mexicans (lower education level, some may be undocumented);

  e. Cubans (Political refugees, legal status, higher education level);

  f. They may say ‘OK, OK’ and pretend to understand, when they do not, just to save face.

   

  Huffington Post is doing a story on discrimination at Target.
  

  Let’s blow the whistle on these racist bastards!

  the real issue with target by a possible current employee

  so after stumbling upon this website and reading what you feel and go figure I see a lot of underlined themes. shitty pay, incompetent management that don’t belong in retail, shitty co workers & favoritism, piss poor policies, there is so many things wrong with the company yes but at your former store level there I feel there is one big issue…

  unfortunately retail has been my life. from first job on Its just what I’ve done.

  Your job is based on the red card 1846

  We shouldn’t get treated better if we get a red card on our shifts. Your job is balanced on that and I don’t think that’s fair. You can be a top performer but if you don’t get red cards you’re in the bucket with the rest of the team members.

  WE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE RED CARD. I wish team members would unite and find a good lawyer and make a huge lawsuit against the harassment we get over the red card and I can bet that we would have the guests support on this because they hate it just as much. They too feel harassed. HELP US TO STOP THE HARASSMENT PLEASE!

  The ETL Process

  This is just a quandary I have come to think about in terms of promotions within Target.

  It’s bullshit that anyone with a degree and zero management experience (sometimes no retail experience) can become an ETL and some one who gets hired as a regular team member with A degree can take as long as four years to get promoted to ETL

  Target will fuck you in a heartbeat

  One year ago today, I started my job as a TPS (target protection specialist) in a mid america target store. To give a little background to those of you who don’t work at target, the tps is the little stuff bitch that does everything that the etl-ap, aps, or aptl doesn’t want to do. They are dressed in all black and usually “create a presence” at the front doors. Well, being an 18 year old fresh out of high school, I was looking for a job that paid decent and didn’t require any college, so I applied and after three interviews was hired. . . Thus, the fucking commenced.

  I was hired to work at the store on the east side of the city and on day one, they advised me that I would be training at that store only and would actually be getting transfered to the store on the west side. I was happy about this because I lived on the west side, so I gladly took the transfer in stride, however they forgot to mention that I would be filling in all over town if someone was sick. So I sent all over the city filling in a litte over here and a little over there and not accomplishing a whole lot.

  Annoying old lady cashier in Lemon Grove Target

  Every time I shop at target I always try to avoid going through certain cashiers lanes. There’s this older last that annoys the hell out of me and even if I try to avoid her I can still hear her and her annoying laugh. She ALWAYS talks about her grand kids same fucking story over and over again. Then she offers the damn red card thing and that is annoying too. All the cashiers sound like they’re programmed to offer that damn thing, I bet 98% of the customers feel the same way I do about that harassment we get EVERY TIME we shop there.

  Can we just please shop in peace? Now that would be great customer service!

  Bullies for cashiers

  So after reading about this store more I have a lot of empathy for the poor people who must work here.  However at my Target there is a bullying asshole cashier.  This was my second experience with this weirdo.  All I want is to buy my things and go home but he starts in on his red card speech.  “Do you have kids?”  Your card wont give money to your kids schools you know?”  Then he stares at me like a creepy serial killer.   I say no thank you and think we can now ring up my shit so I can leave, oh no….”Do you know Americans have thousands and thousands of dollars of credit card debt”?   I do not have debt and its none of your freaking business if I did I reply.  He then insinuates I am lying by saying..”hmm that’s what everyone says..its just not the case.  I think credit cards are evil.”  Really I just don’t give a fuck stupid asshole.  Leave me alone and just ring up my shit.  I am DONE going to this store.  Never again.  I will take my credit card to Wal Mart , try and squish through their aisles full of twinkies and crap.  But at least I know I wont be harassed when I check out.
