I have had some infuriating ETLs in the past, but none as bad as Mega-Bitch we’ll call her. She transferred to my store late September-early October and my life in Hardlines has become a living hell. Now, I’m sure I’m not the only one who becomes the ETLs punching bag bot God damn! enough is enough! Big flipping whoop if I take a few bathroom breaks during my shift and who the balls cares if I don’t respond to the lanes or call boxes quick enough. IT’S. STILL. GETTING. DONE! And now vicariously through my team leader she has the gall to threaten my job and his if I don’t turn things around? well forget that! I’m not going to give that cock-juggling thunder cunt the satisfaction of firing me! Once the holidays are over I’m outta there and hopefully on to somewhere employees are treated fairly.

(1) First of all, I’m sorry, but I just have to laugh that a vast majority of these posts are tagged as “employee experience.” That’s pretty bad. They do their bullshit “team member appreciation” events, but that’s like putting a band-aid on a heart attack. I feel like the events are just to appease us, like management is doing them just out of obligation. When it comes down to what really matters, you can tell they hardly give a crap about us. We’re all replaceable. Every last one of us.
Secondly, I’m glad to have found this site. I didn’t know if it was just me being oversensitive, or if I was just unlucky enough to have a bad store, but it seems we all share similar experiences.
One thing that bugs me
Likes(7)Dislikes(2) Well, let’s cut to the point. I was an IT for a big corporate company, got laid off after someone stole a great sum of money from the company, and Target hired me shortly after for 7.50 an hour (taxes are outrageous, making less per hour than when I was making 6.55 an hour) shortly after my Mom left (she worked at the same one and transferred after she moved) I was hired on as a Cart Attendant / Cashier.
So far, I have had to clean up human feces several times (5+ Times now in a 6 month period) with my LODs laughing at me because it was soo disgusting.
Last week from this post, respectively, we sold $40,000 more than expected, and I was cart attendant. They complained about me not going for “Guest First” because I was swamped because it was me vs. hundreds of people pouring out of the building.
I have nearly been hit in the parking lot over 12 times now (recorded on video) and found 3 wallets in the carts (I returned them, due to religious beliefs)

So here is my story of BS Target experience. I started working for the Garland Texas, Super Target in 2005 as a Backroom Team Member working the overnight shift. After 2 years I decided that I wanted to try dayside Produce out, it wasn’t a bad racket, I had 40 hours a week, benefits, certifications on backroom equipment, and a lot of respect among some, but not all of my former co-workers.

I went back to Target with my receipt for them to adjust the price the day after my friend got his. So THREE days after I purchased the iced-tea maker, they told me there was nothing they could do to adjust the price it’s “against their store policy to adjust clearance items.” FUCK THAT! I had it for 3 days and the day before my friend gets it for half the price, what the hell is that about? They told me the only thing I could do is return it for a refund, and let it go through the return process. IF they put it back on the shelf I can repurchase it at the discounted price. IF I find it.
How the hell is this policy good for business, or their customers? I can just return the crap and they can be stuck with USED clearance items. Which I did. I returned it and they can go fuck themselves. Ok, I only sort of returned it. They had a display model left, which I purchased at the discounted price, put it in the box from the one I had at home and returned it for the original purchase price. Take that! shitty customer service bastards! Small victory, but a victory just the same.

Likes(2)Dislikes(12) I bought a PS3 Slim. My old one had the YLOD/RLOD (Yellow/Red Light of Death) and over-heated and died 3 times (I repaired it each time). So I bought the PS3 Slim and was deciding whether or not to buy the 3 Year Warranty. I decided for the $30 it would cost me it would be worth it, so I went back to Target with the original receipt, and tried to purchase the warranty. None of the morons that worked there could figure how to sell the warranty even though I was told I just need to bring the receipt in to add it on within 90 days.
So the morons behind the counter tried calling the manager on duty to come help. They paged her 3 times to customer service and the lazy bitch didn’t come. Instead, she asked what they needed. They explained and she told them that if it’s not working I should drive home and bring the PS3 in. I asked the morons behind the counter “is she too lazy to come up here?” and they replied “yeah, all the managers here are really lazy, especially her.”
So they told the bitch that I wanted to speak with her and after waiting almost 10 minutes she finally came to customer service to try and “help.” She couldn’t figure it out either so I tried asking her a question about it and the dizzy cunt tried TALKING OVER me and wouldn’t listen! I said, excuse me, I’m the customer here and I have a question, and you need to listen. I suggested a possibility and she wouldn’t even try it because I didn’t have the box with me. Instead she purposely provoked me to piss me and I called her a dizzy cunt, which she is, and I left. Stupid dizzy cunt.
Likes(10)Dislikes(15) I didn’t always hate Target. There was a time when I thought they were a great retailer that actually cared about their customer’s experiences (and maybe even their employees). I recently have been finding this to be a blatant pipe dream. I spent over a decade working as a retail manager for other companies, some of which actually cared about Customer Service. We always did whatever was needed to make the customer happy. Target apparently never heard of this concept.
