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

    Yeah, it’s annoying.

    So basically shouting out that team members got red cards is the most annoying thing in my store. Not only is the GSTL annoying, but who honestly cares? Cashiers are supposed to drive red cards and then they get shout outs everytime they get one? They’re getting praised for doing their fucking job. I’m going to start shouting out everytime I finish a CALF.

  • Where the fuck do I begin? Maybe I’ll start with my worthless ass Team leads who seem to always forget what they told you to do 3 minutes ago? Nah because 2 out of the 6 of them were cool. Maybe I’ll start with my Snitch ass coworkers who loaf all fucking day causing a back jam in work? Nah that’s too easy.. How bout I start with the bullshit reason I got let go? Yeah I’ll start there… Perfect. Grab your Popcorn and juju beez and large beverage for this one.. Little over 3 months ago 2 co workers of mines named Renell 25 and ex-con Terrence 47 (who loves to tell everybody he did 8 years) got into a shouting match almost coming to blows. After a 2 week investigation the 2 workers are back on schedule with a final warning I guess..

    Oh Target…

    So I started working for target in July 2014. So it’s been about 6 months? Or 5? I don’t know and I don’t care.

    You know, I went through this stage where when I first started as a cashier, I loved it. I thought “man, maybe I can move up and stay here for a bit.” Then the next stage was me being depressed  because I’ve given up a lot of things because of working here. Then when I was trained in Guest Services I again thought it wasnt so bad. And I accepted that it’s life. Now, I’m in the stage where I hate work and I’d rather hang by my toes rather than go into target. And I’ve been feeling this way for the longest. I’m thinking of quitting but I have bills to pay and I kinda live in buttfuck nowhere. So it’s hard. I’m trying to make it to a year. But that shit is hard. You know, it really isn’t about the “guests” that piss me off because I could really care less about them if they’re assholes. My concern is the  fact that management sucks. lODs are ridiculously full of themselves and my store manager is an asshole as well. I’m just not sure what to do. I’m just looking for some people that understand.

    Target pulling out of Canada

    hey guess what everyone! TARGET IS PULLING OUT OF CANADA!

     

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/target-closes-all-133-stores-in-canada-gets-creditor-protection-1.2901618

    Anyone feel like celebrating and getting out the champagne? 😉 Bai bai target.

    Maybe they didn’t like being forced to give Canadians proper raises.  *points to a 10 to 75 cent min wage across canada. Only northwest territories, nunavut and british columbia didn’t raise theirs.

    last day fun!

    My last day at target was like freedom opening its doors! I walked in wearing red pants and a kakhi shirt (I brought a change of clothes) than when my shift was finally done I went to the back where I bore my leopard print shoes shirt and underneath, my leopard print speedo.  I made a lap around the store and straight to my car listening to the theme music from bloodsport. I finally finished the celebrations by driving to my favorite restaurant and listened to freedom by George Michael.

    Final Days of Tarshit

    Let me just start by saying if you read my earlier posts on this site, I really didn’t hate any higher ups. In fact, I looked up to them and one day wanted to be them. When I first read this site,  I couldn’t imagine how any managers or workers could be so awful to all of you. And I’m so sorry for doubting you guys. Today I think is the day I’m job hunting. It’s been a long seven months and I’ve watched my brand new target go from something I was so proud to be a part of to something only nightmares could conjur up. Over the past few months, my STL has become a prick. Honestly, I feel like everyone higher up actually. But the funny thing is, they’re only pricks to MY team. I don’t get why instocks has to be the bitch of the store and take on the workload of so many teams, but we do. And of course they’ll be the hardest on the trainer right? Guess who that would be. Me. When the TL isn’t around, ohhhhh they come to me.

  • I made a previous post here (Target doesn’t treat pregnant employees very well) and it’s only getting worse. I got their stupid medical note for me to be allowed water that also happened to address my need for breaks every 2 hours. Hello, isn’t it company policy for them to give people breaks every 2 hours and not every 3, regardless of how busy it gets? So I called the Integrity Hotline to do the right thing because I cannot trust the HR at my store and God forbid they get a reminder they aren’t God. The bitches in HR don’t even acknowledge me anymore whenever I walk by, and won’t even speak to me by name anymore. They try to call me in for a shift on a day I am off while my family was still in town and leave me a voicemail stating such. I call back 10 minutes later, ask to speak with HR. I tell them who I am and why I’m calling “Hey A this is B and I am calling with regards to a voicemail I received 10 minutes ago about an open shift from 10 to 6.” She literally responds with “mhmm” when before she would’ve said Hey how’s it going? As a courtesy I informed her I was unable to take that shift and only said to me “Thanks for calling, I’ll let them know.” “Thanks A, have a nice rest of the day.” No response, just the click indicating the call recipient hung up on the caller.

  • So why would someone open an entire chain of stores just to be a dick to someone?  Because its much more effective.  And you would never be able to garner the same level of hatred from society, unless you were like the president or something.  Anyways, my story goes as follows.

    Exactly 5 years ago (maybe 59 months or so) I swore I would never enter a Target store again.  I bought a brand new bicycle that broke the next day.  The back wheel seized up and stopped turning before I put 10 miles on the bike.  I returned to the store with this piece of shit Chinese pile of garbage to get my $200 back.  The target asshole told me I can’t return the bike because I rode it.  I’m like no shit jerkoff, I had to ride the piece of shit in order to find out that it didn’t work, and I tried to ride it in the store before I bought it and one of you assholes told me not to ride the bike in the store and it doesn’t fucking work.

    Update on previous post of “Target could sell Canadian assets to Wal-Mart or HBC, analyst speculates”

    Target is apparently now considering leaving Canada! 🙂 Hope you actually consider leaving Tarshit! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! Hip hip hurray! Someone bring out the champagne! It’s celebration time! Or would liberation time be much more accurate?

    Looks like they are on the deathbed. I wonder if they figured out where they went wrong yet.
