Target Sucks - We Hate Target and We Know We're Not Alone.

    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.

    Target at the Grove, San Diego “worse company ever”

    I wouldn’t recommend this store or company to anyone. You’re better off flipping burgers or folding tacos in TJ. Hell you’re better off begging for money outside the target store on College Avenue and if you get kicked our and away from the building just come back the next day and do it all over again. Nothing surprises me coming from this store everyone is wack and depressed. Everyone hates their job but they’re too afraid to say something cause of retaliation.

    Those new debit readers are really cool and the latest in technology BUT hey there goes their yearly raise probably gonna suck more than ever. Upgrade the store but stop on your employees. Just feed them another disgusting hot dog for every fucking holiday occasion who wants to eat pig ears, buttholes and ass on a bun?

    Glad I’m not eating there!

    T1846

    Team members and Senior Team leads do one hell of a job but go without recognition! If only ETL’s could be more appreciative and show true and honest recognition maybe the store could be in better spirits.

     

    So much chaos and unhappiness at our store, no ones happy. I know a lot of people in this store and they’re all so unhappy and miserable. I see them and it’s like they’re another person when they’re at work. Unlike them at all. Why does Target have to be so controlling and Target is NOT the best company ever!!! That shit is overrated!!!

     

    Its a nightmare! Theres more than one Freddy Crougar in this nightmare though. People who’ve gotten fired are much more relaxed now and they all have real jobs lol. Team builds? What’s that? Vibe? What’s that? Promotions? What’s that? Good raises? What’s that? Hahaha this store is a joke!

    Cart Attendant Hell

    Most people will probably see this as an angry ex-employee that’s mad because he got fired. But this one is just for the archives, it doesn’t really matter if anybody reads this or not. This is for my own closure.

     

    Being a Cart Attendant at Target has made me feel the more insignificant and unappreciated than I have ever had in my whole life. It is one of the worst jobs in a retail position but it also happens to be the one of most important jobs. It’s like the big toe on the human body, it’s such a small, and insignificant piece. And you feel as if you would be the same off if you cut it off, but then if you tried to walk or even stand, you would fall to the ground. As a college student with no work experience, I wasn’t expecting anything much better, and I was willing to accept that, but a little bit of slack would have gone a long way for me.

    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.

    T1846 Can I help you find something?

    …my fucking sanity!!!

    life in the ghetto can be an adventure but life at target is misery. Everyone is out for their own and can care less about the person next to them. If they like you them you have nothing to worry about but if they dislike you WATCH YOUR BACK!!! They are snakes and they will work their magic to get rid of you.

     

    I see a lot of cashiers and gstl’s get harassed over the damn red cards and wonder why they put up with that shit. The GSA’s are damn fools for doing the same as a GSTL but minus $3 am hour. Is it really worth it? I know they need a job but come on girls you’re all better than that. Target Cafe is hell and everyone seems stressed out. Hard lines well they’re away Fromm the front but I’m sure we have unhappy issues too. Backroom is really away from all the bullshit which is good.

    P-fresh have their own little world and can basically avoid the nonsense. Cart attendants: I admire them cause pushing carts is a bitch. Guest service is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get!!! Photo lab??? What’s that??? Oh the place that no one is scheduled at but there’s always random people at??? Oh yeah I know that place it just collects dust. Lets see oh soft lines it’s like a labyrinth, enter at your own risk!
