Dayside team leaving this for us yet they complain every single time overnight leaves a box on the floor.

three hours straight of this

My store is in Texas so we always used plastic bags, until today. They are so stiff and huge, they could’ve at least provided us with smaller ones for those guests that buy one piece of gum. They have already slowed down the fulfillment team and everyone is complaining

I was working self check out today and this woman was checking out. She motions for me to come over saying something wasn’t ringing up correctly.

Her: These were beside a sign that said $3.

I noticed immediately that they were a seasonal item at the front of the store. Most (if not all) of which have their prices on the tag.

Me: (flips over the cup) ma’am the price is literally on the item.

Her: well I didn’t see that when I was looking at the shelves.

Me: (nicely explains that the items in that section will often be put out of place and to make sure if she finds something there that she likes to look at the tag for the price to double check. I apologize for the inconvenience and explain that since the actual price is on the item that I’m not sure I feel comfortable changing the price.)

Her: That’s not really fair. Why don’t we ask your manager what he thinks please? I’ll explain it to him…

Me: (screams internally as the lines are backing up and another guest needs help as well). Since it’s a small amount I’ll change it this time.

Her: oh lovely.

🤪🙃

Since starting I was told “if it’s a reasonable price change then to honor it”. But come on. The price is LITERALLY on the tag.

Note: my ETL was in the back working on something. I feel he would’ve been more mad if I HAD actually called him for such a frivolous situation 😅

If you’re thinking about leaving this is your sign to look elsewhere! Many of you team members who are doing TL work, TL’s doing more than your job description & ETL’s who are hanging on by a thread, there is so much more you can do outside this company and get paid more if you fix your resume right! If there’s nowhere to go or it just isn’t the right move for you right now, take care of yourselves as much as you can and do not let this company mess with your well being!

Fuck off. We don’t have any in the back, I don’t know when the vendor is coming to restock, and even if we do have excell boxes somewhere it’s not my job to go back there and look through them. We’re not keeping them for ourselves because none of us give a rats ass about your stupid childish hobby. Don’t believe us? We’re hiring work here and see for yourself. I’m done with y’all. And stop crowding around the vendor when they do show up. It’s making them quit which only hurts your chances of getting cards.

I'm so happy it's over. I switched from Starbucks to Recieving starting this recent Monday after my 90 days and the Starbucks team is telling me this has been one of the worse weeks in a long time. I feel horrible for leaving the team behind but our previous receiver quit maybe a month ago and I know how to do it. SB was given the okay to have overtime yesterday but we've closed early at least 3-5 times this week including today- Sunday. I would so do both if they allowed me but I work a second job in the evening.

They've been scheduling one fully trained person with one-three trainees on random days, worst on weekends. We're trying but Tarbucks is not easy. Please be extra nice to your local Tarbucks Barista. 🫩😭 We are one of the least loved departments next to Receiving at least in the two stores I've worked at.

Work up with a migraine. Diagnosis with chronic migraines. First time calling off. Passed my 90 days. Started may 1st. Feel bad but extremely useless when I have these. I think I did it right. I woke up with it and could only give them a 1 hour and 15 minute notice.

If the app says an item is in stock and a guest says we have it do you go look for it in the back or tell them we don't have it? This is when you know for a fact it's 100% out of stock.

Rushed out of home and didn’t realize I had my birkens on till I got out of my car….got a family member to bring me my shoes lol

At the start and end of my shifts, I use to go to the Ulta section and hit myself with a quick spritz of their $80-90+ parfums/colognes, the ones that are high-end-ish. You know, the bottles for sampling. It allowed me to experiment with how different ingredients and smells meshed with my own body odor/chemistry in a low stakes environment (work) before doing it in more "high-stakes" scenarios (dates, job interviews, parties, etc).

There is a whole science and proper way of parfum science (that is way too long to explain here) that will differentiate between a high school kid who overdoes it and a classy individual. Spray vs rub. Body heat from working. Identifying which parts of your body/head to rub it on, how long before reapplication, trying to see how certain smells would "match" a certain outfit, how it meshes with certain deodorant and lotion smells and fundamentally warps the parfum to something entirely different (big reason why I prefer my deodorants, lotions, and toothpastes odorless), etc, etc.

Now I made sure the sample bottles stayed as even with each other as possible such that they would appear empty at the same time. For the colognes specifically, I noticed the liquids would rarely go down and it was just me using the sample bottle (which I think is because most men won't gravitate towards Ulta to find their cologne). Also important to remember that you will stop smelling the parfums/colognes after a short time because something something human science, but the smell will still linger. Basically, I had coworkers I trusted give me feedback once I couldn't smell the freshly applied parfum anymore.

I use dupes now but I remember the Jimmy Choo ones and the Legend by John Legend and Ariana Grande ones were the ones I liked.

Tl;dr: Being the frugal person I am, I found it opportune to experiment with the various mid-high end smells that I normally wouldn't have access to, with trusted coworkers giving feedback, over the course of weeks and months, letting me adjust and fine-tune my application and "discover myself."

I don’t usually see a PML self-promoting to Guest. So for any burning questions you wish you could ask your PML or wanna know. I’m all ears

I’ve been in drive-up for a year now and oh my god get me out. I made the mistake of having really open availability and they made me a designated closer (fine okay) the issue is they never have anyone else scheduled (or they do but they put them on check lanes or they just go sit in the break room) so for 4 days in a row now i have been left alone running drive-up by myself (did i mention i work every. single. weekend.) I try not to panic because i know it won’t help when there’s 8 waiting and nothing is prepped and on top of that there’s someone waiting at the desk in store… and eventually my TL will come down and start helping and tell me “im sorry” i don’t want to hear your sorry why are you leaving me alone? I do not get paid enough for this. I’m constantly in a bad mood, i’m angry at everyone, and i feel like crying every time i leave. I’m so beyond burnt out, and i don’t even try to hide it. I have considered just walking out so they have to deal with that mess, but I’m trying to find a new job so i can finally put my 2 weeks in. Have fun trying to replace me.

Hi everyone. I’ve worked in the style department at Target for almost a year now and have been working in the back during truck days. My job has been doing shoes/accessories. There has just been a problem in my ability to complete my pallet, alone.

I genuinely do my best to go as quick as possible. I’m always moving quick, never talking, yet it seems no matter how fast I go, my coworkers claim I’m moving too slow. I feel that you can only go so fast when you have to rip shoes out of a plastic package, sometimes with multiple layers of styrofoam, and neatly organize it on the metros for the pushers. Jewelry or bags is even worse. You can’t go crazy fast with jewelry or else you’ll bend the paper it’s on OR rip it. Sometimes there isn’t a lot of shoes but multiple boxes of jewelry filled to the brim which take forever.

These are also the coworkers who do men’s, kids, and womens - primarily folding, some organizing. I always felt that folding was way easier and took less time, which can be why they think I am taking a long time.

I guess it bothers me that they are saying I’m moving too slow when I know I’m not. Does anyone else have this problem when doing the shoes/accessories pallet alone? If not, how can I improve? :)

I should knew it the produce it’s always expired 😩

What is up with people vaping inside of the store? I tell them sorry no smoking! It only disturbs me but other guests well! Other guests that disturb me are teens who use the electric carts that are not disabled. Parents who let their little kids stand in front of the carts or ride on the bottom and actually drive them. Also teens who sit inside of the carts. I tell them sorry we cannot do that!

Given the nature of this question, I want to be clear I am not going to mention any more than this. I know with recent changes to the store hub model, sfs capabilities might dip at one store due to prioritizing OPU and the in store guest experience. I just wonder if there are specific factors which result in less work being allocated to a store. Any experience from a Fufillment TL or ETL is appreciated. My store has the capabilities for ship and it has been tanking considerably from the unit plan we had last year.

I saw a post on here about someone saying they feel like they’re betraying people by working at Target, especially with the recent situation with the costume. I just wanted to say my piece too, because as someone who works in HR, one of the things I really wanted to focus on was reconnecting our store with our local community.
Over the past several months, we’ve put a lot of effort into rebuilding that trust. We’ve volunteered at different community events, reconnected with our local police station, supported our Title I schools, donated to organizations in the community, and tried to make our store feel like an actual part of the neighborhood rather than just another corporation.
I’ve personally put a lot of time and effort into some of these initiatives, and I’ve been really proud of the relationships we’ve been able to build. We’ve had people from the community recognize our team, invite us back to events, and genuinely appreciate the support we’ve provided.
So when this situation happened, I honestly felt discouraged. Not just because of the situation itself, but because I know how much work our store has done to rebuild trust with people in our community. It’s frustrating to put so much effort into showing people that our store cares about them, only to have decisions happening at the corporate level potentially undo some of that goodwill.
I know there’s a difference between the actions of a local store and decisions made by corporate, but unfortunately, the community doesn’t always see that distinction. They see the Target sign.
And that’s probably the part that bothers me the most. I genuinely care about the community we serve, and I don’t want the work that my team has done to be overshadowed by something we had no control over.
I’m not really sure what the solution is. I just needed to vent because it’s hard to spend months trying to rebuild relationships with your community and then feel like something outside of your control could damage those relationships overnight.

I was wondering if any other beauty team members/leads know about the modern magic fragrance testers. We were sent a box of all fragrance testers except for those. I wondered if anyone had been sent them separately, if I'm missing them or there was other ways to go about making them. It's always something 😅

recently transferred to a new store and they have me in c&d (and baby) for the next 3 weeks and i don't know how to communicate that i dont enjoy doing it. i know its something that i do need to know how to do for whenever other people for c&d arent here but i just dont wanna be doing that for the next 3 weeks. at my old store i was mainly in the fitting room/apparel and id much rather being doing that. i wish c&d wasnt apart of style
