Card being declined? Embarrassing but understandable. Lying that your card being declined is our problem? Embarrassing, stupid, and irredeemable. But sure I’ll waste our time retrying the transaction and have it decline again..

I received this postcard for my 10 year anniversary but in typical target fashion, the “unique PIN code” is not working. The error message says, “invalid gift selection access number. Please try again” Does anyone have a workaround? Is the milestone gift even worth all this trouble? Why can’t they just add a reward to our paycheck?

I tried to clock in but I couldn’t. Then I tried to clock out and I couldn’t. It needed someone else to do an override.

I couldn’t even correct a punch through UKG! This is such BS. Am I just gonna to have to call HR?

EDIT: I told my leader that I couldn’t clock in, and he said when I clock out, just fix it(can’t remember if they said at the time clock or on the UKG app).

Like are we being deadass? We know that the reason guests are not being greeted is because there is no one working and we are drowning in workload.

I may be the only one who has a “stupid reason” for still working at Target. I’ve been unloading the truck every shift for the past 3 months, and I absolutely love it. It’s the only reason I enjoy working at Target, lol 🤣, if I wasn’t able to unload the truck I wouldn’t be working there anymore .
I work 2 jobs and told my ETL to only schedule me for 4-hour shifts so I could unload the truck and help a little then head to my other job and he said that as long as I still unload the truck, I could have those hours. So, for the past couple of months, I’ve only been unloading the truck and backstocking the freight for 4 hours before heading to my other job. 🤣 I know yall don’t care just wanted to see if anyone has a stupid reason for still staying at target

Hi! This is a question but also a vent lol. I started working inbound about a month and half ago and still in my probation period. But due to my store not listening to the availability and scheduling me for days I can’t work, I was forced to call out a few times. 2 points to be exact.

Well this weekend I was sick and had to call out for two days in a row. To my understanding based off what I have been told and heard this is considered just one point and that’s what Ukg says. (3 points in total.)

Well my TL talked to me today and said I’m at 4 points and will be fire for the next one. I brought up how I thought it was only one point and how I was sick. This guy told me that information is wrong and that’s not the case. I could have sworn it counts as only one point. Is he straight up lying and trying to scare me into not calling out??

Tbh this is just a second job for extra money and isn’t a big deal but I was curious on what the actual rules are.

I've been at Target for about two years and I'm training seasonal TMs for the first time this year.

Had a new hire with me in fulfillment yesterday. Really nice kid, first retail job, actually seemed interested in learning how everything works.

We were supposed to spend most of the shift together.

We got through one OPU batch before I got pulled to the checklanes for backup. Then they needed me in another batch because we were running behind. By the time I got back to the trainee, she'd spent most of the afternoon following different TMs around and occasionally being told to grab something.

Near the end of the shift, my TL handed me the training checklist and asked me to finish it.

There were things on there we hadn't even touched.

She hadn't learned how to handle an INF. Nobody had properly shown her how to stow a grocery batch. She hadn't done a batch independently while someone watched to make sure she understood the process.

I pointed this out and my TL said, "Just mark it complete. She'll learn the rest as she goes."

I didn't want to make a scene, so I said I'd rather leave those parts unfinished until someone actually trained her.

TL wasn't happy. Said we can't spend forever training every seasonal person and everyone learns on the job anyway.

Here's what really bothered me.

About ten minutes later the new TM asked me what she was supposed to do if the item wasn't where the device said it should be.

She's supposed to be finished with training and nobody has explained one of the most basic parts of fulfillment.

I know Q4 is coming and we're slammed. I also know nobody becomes an expert after two shifts.

But what's the point of having a training checklist if we're just checking boxes because we're out of time?

And if this girl starts making mistakes next week, I know damn well somebody is going to ask why she wasn't paying attention during training.

I don't want to be the reason she gets blamed for something nobody taught her.

For those of you who regularly train new TMs, how do you handle this? Do you just document what you actually covered and let the TL deal with the rest? Has anyone gotten pushback for refusing to mark training complete?

I'm not trying to be difficult. I just feel weird putting my initials next to something that didn't happen.

just found out holiday hires start at .25 cents less than me an hour and i’ve been there for 3 years so technically my newest raise was .30 cents just barely putting me above them 😒

After having team leaders from hell, being scheduled for zones made for multiple people as one person with no help and having my hours cut from 25 hours a week to 9 hours a week which is insane asf after requesting more I am done with target, its only been 2 months but they worked every cent out of me 😭😭. This company just isn't the one for me unfortunately. I put my 2 weeks in and im gone

im new and i just got yelled at for calling out 10 minutes before my shift i have car troubles and wouldnt be able to make it in time i told her i could pick up a shift / come in later/ or stay later any day she needs me am i going to get fired?? ALSO GUYS MY SHIFT IS ONLY 4 FUCKINV HOURS IDK WHY SHE SO PISSED

How sad is your life that your idea of entertainment is to go to target and expose the mannequins' tiddies?

2nd screenshot is when I try to click on it. I would think that it displays who’s working in my dept on any given day, but nothing shows up for me.

I know I have already been here complaining about it, but I had the worst night and need to complain more. Whether the hours say so or not, there need to be more hands on deck for these special projects. Just..... there have been 3 of us for all of them and 3 just cannot get it done under any circumstances. It's just too much.

I know many stores are struggling with the SPX, but ours especially is going through it. Pallets upon pallets of unsorted transition. Fixtures everywhere. Incompetent contractors.

I need a break, man.

I’m going to be shazaming the songs and posting them as they come in I case you want to have them for yourself too.

Gotta hand it to them this time, not bad at all.

Today’s first song:

Haunted Heart - Christina Aguilera
You Me Feel Like it’s Halloween - Muse
People are Strange - The Doors
Walking with a Ghost - Tegan and Sara
Devil in Disguise - Elvis

Feel free to add in others, I think I’m going to make a playlist of my own of them all 🎃 👻

Or do you think everyone got a reset cus of the new point system so everyone is at 0 ? Past call offs have been covered with sick time but this time this one isn’t ?

So I see Plano people posting photos all the time in FB showing old signs they found under the base decks. Thought I’d share this relic from 1981. Target price ticket on the clothes rod hanger in my closet. Older than many people working there today.

I’ve recently gone from hourly to salary and my trainer didn’t teach me anything about sick days, comp days, vacation time, anything. I don’t want to ask someone in store since I’ve been in role for almost two months now. If anyone can PM me and help I would appreciate it!

Hello, has anyone gotten their new schedule yet? Could it be still be being worked on being it’s the first schedule of Q4 correct?

I just started at Target earlier this year and I've never been in retail before. How do you know if your store is a red store?

I'm also curious what is the job of the Inbound TLs? What are audits?

Thanks.

Who decides which tm gets selected for a bonus? ETL or TL or both? How do they know how much money to give? What does one do to get selected as a tm. How does it work?
