Fucking Redcards.
Working at target fucking sucks. It is a fucking shithole. ESPECIALLY if you are a cashier or work at the customer service desk. A majority of floor leaders (not all of them, but most) act superior to you because they don’t have to work the registers. Listen here, motherfuckers. We have to deal with customer after customer, excuse me… “guests”, complaining over the most goddamn stupid shit I have ever heard of in my life, not to mention the FUCKING REDCARDS. Let me tell you something about redcards… NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. NO ONE WANTS ONE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP HARRASSING ME TO SELL THEM. IF IT IS THAT IMPORTANT WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING GO SELL THEM ASSHOLE. Jesus fucking christ the amount of nagging you endure everyday to push the sells of recards is ridiculous. And the one day you don’t feel like asking because you feel like shit and don’t even want to be there, they come over and get mad at you about it.
And it doesn’t end there.
If you get one, they expect you to get more. And that continues everyday. It does not matter if you got one the day before, who fucking cares about that, right? It only matters if you get 3 or 4 EVERY FUCKING DAY. You’ve got to be fucking kidding! And back to getting in trouble if you don’t ask every single “guest, you get scolded. They fucking advertise those things all over the goddamn store and every fucking step you take someone is asking you if you are interested in one. THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT A REDCARD IS FOR GOD’S SAKE. Especially if they are a frequent target shopper because God knows they get asked every time they are in the store.
If they want one, they will be the ones to bring it up. Holy fucking shit, I am so done. I don’t even want to put in my two weeks, I just want to quit and walk out.
I am very kind to everyone, and I go out of my way to make people’s days a little better. The amount of redcards that I sell should not determine how good or bad I am at my job. That is such bullshit.
Next time someone lectures me or I get in trouble for not asking every single goddamn person if they want to save 5 fucking percent with a target credit or debit card, I might snap and tell them what they can do with those redcards.

Whenever I had to help out at cashier I never asked..ever. The one time I did the "guest" laughed at the whopping 5 percent savings so I stopped. They tried badgering me about it until I just straight up said NO I'm not doing it. When they asked I told them A) its a bullshit amount and B) I'm not in sales. One time the Gstl asked me to come to the office. I figured he was going to write me up.
I pulled out my phone and recorded it, he started freaking out asking why. I told him if I was going to be written up for something that I wasn't hired for its going on camera to show the unemployment commission...they stopped asking me until I quit.
That's awesome. I hope more people follow your example.
Hahah that is the best thing I have heard in a while.
lol i don't want to save 5%. The prices are all jacked up anyways to make up the 5% difference.
Best story so far. So I wrote on here and I heard that my store wants to investigate who's posting on here. I swear they act like they're FBI agents and cops all the time lol. But I love your story so fucking true!!!!!!!!
RIGHT?! like the 5% doesn't even do anything unless you spend over 100 dollars. then it takes off like a whopping 5-10 dollars woo hoo. When in reality you could shop elsewhere for way cheaper anyway.
And thank you! Haha, it's been bugging the crap out of me and I needed to get it off my chest. And how are they even gonna know who is who with the usernames? Idiots. Maybe if they didn't have a shitty store they wouldn't have a website dedicated to it.
For serious. They have a lot of websites and blogs dedicated to how much target sucks. This is just the best one. 🙂
At my store they post the "bottom 10" redcard performers...I am proud to be in the bottom three!
At my store 1846 they once posted the ETL's conversion scores (which were red) and they took it off the wall in a heart beat then they told the GSTL not to include the ETL's lol. They were all bottom performers! Whack, they swear they're better than anyone under them.
Yeah they always come over to me and make me sign the paper with my conversion rate on it which is always 0% LOL. Am I really supposed to care? Also I had to talk to an LOD the other day because I didn't get a red card (surprise!!) and she was telling me how I hate at least 100 to 200 people everyday so I should be able to get one per shift. I really wanted to be like "yeah youre forgetting the people that A.) already have a red card. B.) are elderly people so I am not going to ask them C.) are little kids using their gift cards or their own money to buy something D.) teenagers who just come in to get candy or makeup E.) the same person who does more than one transaction and already said no to the stupid red card F.) men and fathers coming in to buy shit on their own. I am not going to ask any of those people!! UGH
And of course they took down the etl's because they don't have to sell red cards because god forbid they do their own fucking work. It's so stupid the only reason they care so much is to get bonuses. Go fuck off and sell your own red cards for your own bonuses. We're the ones who have to sell them and all we get is harassed to sell more.
Also I meant "have at least 100 or 200 a day" but "hate" definitely works too.
This is so true.. I keep getting the coaching talks and am just waiting for them to get rid of me at this point I got 6 cards last week in three shifts a majority being debits. We get a percentile for how many debits verse credits so if you don't get enough of each you are still RED!!! I have stopped asking all together now because I DON'T CARE anymore! They keep telling me oh too bad you were at a 1.9 your so close just keep it up! NO F- OFF TARGET.. get your own damn cards.. its not my core job role to sell target cards.. if it was I would have gone to a store that has sales that make commission because I DON'T get anything for getting those damn cards but more harassment from the GE STL LODS AND ETLS
yeah 6 is pretty good honestly. i MAYBE get 1 each month. 2 if im lucky. and that is ridiculous they want you to sell both. at my store they just push the debit. they're like "BE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S NOT A CREDIT CARD AND IT IS DEBIT AND COMES OUT OF THEIR DEBIT ACCOUNT!" like shut up. and as soon as you come in "ARE YOU GONNA GET REDCARDS TODAY?" and i'm just like "yeah i'll try whatever." and when i first started working there i made the mistake of not asking every person so now they are always watching me. i've gotten lectured at least 3 times about not asking. i can't wait to quit.
