    How bad is it to use your discount for a friend?

    "Is it always termination", in a literal sense, no. "Is there serious risk of termination", yes. Friends don't let friends do this.

    Yes. Use the "Call out" function on the app. Make a follow up call to the store and leave a courtesy message as well.

    SCO cash software upgrade

    About 10% of guests' payments are made with cash. This might be higher in some parts of the US, lower in others. Our SCO machines theoretically can accept cash payments and provide cash back, however the current generation of machines are prone to malfunctioning with cash more than the SCO...

    Meal compliance at six hours?...

    In many states, your meal must be started no later than 5.0 hours after you clock in. In some states, meal compliance is no later than 6.0 hours after you clock in. As others have said, Target prefers to be very cautious. Check the Compliance sheet posted near your time clock.

    Christmas display sale special terms?

    Interesting points. Maybe Corporate didn't give much thought to the time deadlines imposed on stores for the Christmas Morning Magic transition. So in this case it seems that one store's fire sale on Christmas stuff occurred on Tuesday December 2nd, which seems really odd. What's really...

    Christmas display sale special terms?

    I wonder who in leadership made that decision? Does your store's SD know about this? Were these items put out on the sales floor for guests at the same 90 percent off before your TLs and TMs bought up all the stuff? Ethics concerns anyone?

    How many Target stores are attached to an enclosed shopping mall?

    Of the 20 Target stores in the greater Seattle metro area, to my knowledge, I can only think of 3 which are attached to an enclosed shopping mall - one where you can walk into Target from the mall walkways, and out from Target into the mall. There are a few others attached to a strip mall or a...

    How many Target stores are attached to an enclosed shopping mall?

    Target has over 2,000 stores around most areas of the US. Most of the ones I've seen when traveling are either stand-alone stores, or attached to a "strip mall" alongside other stores. Any idea how many Targets are actually a part of an enclosed shopping mall, where there's a specific mall entry...

    will i get in big trouble for calling out on black friday?

    Respectfully, I think this is a concern. Presumably you don't normally have a 2.5 hour commute to your Target, you drove 2.5 hours away for Thanksgiving holiday with loved ones and underestimated the risk of severe weather for your return trip last night or early this morning. Your safety is...

    When a customer requests a gift receipt should I ring up those items separate?

    Selecting "print gift receipt" generates a bar code for the entire transaction. Individual items are not listed. The print receipt is interchangeable for anything in that transaction. FYI as for Target gift cards, there is a separate "Inquiry" app for checking a gift card balance and if desired...

    What does FIA mean on my schedule?

    Speaking of which, for three weeks now I've received Training reminders on this, to make the "Fulfillment in Action Self Acknowledgement 2025 for Service and Engagement". Our TLs, ETLs and HR ETL are all trying to figure out when the actual FIA training is to take place. Payroll hours have...

    Is this fair?

    Sadly, this seems like the best answer. Once you start allowing TLs to let TMs take home stuff that's deemed "salvage", "ESIM" or "toss", it's a slippery downhill slope where this becomes commonplace. It also becomes easier to justify other violations of company policies and standards. That's...

    I was fired for breaking the team member purchase policy. What are the factors that are going to be stopping me from getting rehired?

    I hesitate to chime in, but barista232 I suggest you apply at other businesses for employment. Theoretically, five or ten years from now, if you have a satisfactory or even good work history, then there's a chance Target might re-hire you under the right circumstances. That kind of scenario...

    When will the Cash only SCO option be available for all stores?

    Having a Cash-Only SCO register would be very desirable, as it could be truly customized with state-of-the-art technology for handling the acceptance and disbursement of paper currency bills. It would essentially meet the robustness standard of a bank-branch ATM. The SCO attendant would be...

    Reasons to get fired

    Not necessarily. It's quite possible that Target offered the termed ETL a severance package, with "strings attached" in the form of a written settlement agreement. Assuming that the ETL accepted the severance package, those settlement agreements often include signing away their right to sue...

    What happens to your Target 401K if terminated?

    There are dozens of threads on this. The money you contribute to the Target 401k, AND the money Target contributes as a "match" to your contributions, is YOUR money. It does not belong to Target. If you have at least $2500 in your Target 401k, you can keep the account open and let the...

    Price match if it says "when purchased online"

    I find it frustrating that most of my fellow TMs don't even use the Price Match app on our Zebras. Price Match is particularly useful if something is being clearanced out in your own store on MyDay, you can check the Target.com price and come up with a reasonable estimate of the clearance price...

    Price match if it says "when purchased online"

    I have to explain to guests that target.com is a different company within Target, we treat target.com as a competitor just like Best Buy, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, Walmart or Amazon. At times, it does get frustrating, but at least it's easier to verify a price match with Target than with...
