    Archived Does your APTM have any power?

    Apparently we had a booster make off with 880 worth of softlines items, and they came back the next day. The APTM asked us to "guest service" the guest but in the end they pushed another cart full of shit right out the door to due them not giving a fuck and softlines backup cashiering We asked...

    Archived Stepping down

    I am currently in an asset protection role and got a promotion at my other job so I no longer have open availability. If i step down does that mean I will no longer work for the company? Or am I still able to be a regular team member? ......curious.

    Archived The true impact of shrink

    I was explained this by someone who specializes in retail loss prevention. I think it's a good way to show AP and non-AP tm's how important it is to work together to reduce shrink. TLDR: For every dollar of shrink, it takes about $34 of revenue (sales) to make up for the loss on Target's books...

    Archived Does anybody work at a store with a female AP/TPS?

    I went to a target today that had a female AP and I was surprised because I just realized I have never seen a woman work in that position at a target store and was curious to how common it actually is. It seems to be as common as a guy working in softlines from my experience cause I have never...

    Archived So can hardlines 4 or asset protection date team members.

    I know of a gsa and a sales floor team member who are dating but they are keeping it on the low. Well one is being recruited by AP can they date if one is AP?

    Archived Poll for you guys

    So I just wanted to do a quick poll. You see your APTL, ETL-AP, APS or maybe even TPS all alone and someone is about to swing on them/ they look violent and already are fighting them. All the guests are watching, about 20. You are the only team member near, and the guests are yelling for you to...

    Archived Secret Camera?

    So I work in softlines and today a bunch of us girls realized there is a secret camera in the corner of the fitting room closet area. We didnt even know it was a camera until my co worker took a picture with her flash on and there was a glare from the lens. It doesnt even look like a camera at...

    Archived Poll: TPS Uniforms

    Just wondering where everyone stands on this. Got into a really good conversation with a local Senior TPS that's been around since 2008 about all the changes recently, and uniforms came up.

    Archived Does AP turn cases over to LEOs

    I told one of our AP guys that I thought a lady may have not paid for everything in her cart when she was doing self-checkout. He said they could check the cameras and turn over to the local police. Can they actually go after some after they've left? And do they keep AP in the loop so they know...

    Archived Ap changes

    I heard through the grapevine that most stores are going to aptl unless you have more than 2 tps. Essentially target is shutting down, first it was hr that got hit now it's ap. How long before cart attendants are replaced by robots. They took out jobs!

    Archived does your aps talk to anyone?

    so, my aps doesn't talk to anyone at the store aside from huddles and to the other tms when on duty. aside from that he seems pretty reserved and hardly talks to anyone like other tms do. i know theyre job is to be secretive and is totally different from any other tm/tl job at spot, so i was...

    Archived We Were Broke Into

    Around 4 am today, a fool tossed a dumbell through the exit's lower plate glass, and in under two minutes made their way to (no shit) electronics and made off with two items totaling 700 bucks. I thought there were alarms for this shit!?!

    Archived Threats by former team member, what to do?

    Hello all. I was recently friends with someone who was a former team member at my store, and to make a long story short, We got into a spat and she thought it would be wise to threaten to send in false allegations to my store about me in an attempt to get me fired. Another friend of hers has...

    Archived The shafting continues

    When we lost 60% of the cameras at my store, they told us that it would be better because they could increase the quality and frame rate of the remaining cameras. This week every store in my district has their cameras all cut to 240p resolution, even the PTZs. Our Sr investigators were all laid...

    Archived Can a reserve deputy be an ETL-AP?

    I'm really interested in becoming a reserve deputy for a TX police agency while also [hopefully] working at TGT as an ETL-AP. A reserve deputy is strictly a volunteer position, minimum 20 hours a month. While I would be a fully comissioned police officer, I cannot act in the capacity of a police...

    Archived The Difference between AP and TPS?

    Ok so I was watching some YouTube vids of footage someone somehow got onto the internet from Target's security cameras. This may have been back in the day however there were some in a black cop like uniform. Is TPS still a thing? Because it seems like at my store (a Super Target overnight...

    Archived The AP Room...

    (Note: if I say anything here that is not allowed let me know) Ok, so last week I was asked to sit in on a AP Apprehension of a Female. It was around 10pm. I admit I was kinda excited. But when I got there, it turned out to just be a huge sack of sad...Mom was stealing to support her son's...

    Archived AP Interview. What to expect

    I've been working for target for about 2 years now and I was recently asked if I'd be interested in joining the AP team. I have an interview for the position in a few days, and I just wanted to ask what questions will I be asked? Might be self explanatory but I just want a little preparation...

    Archived fire exit in the electronics department.

    Does your store have a fire exit in the electronics department? My store does. A shoplifter can grab some electronics and rush out that exit.

    Archived AP question.

    Is it against policy to take a picture of a new release item? I took a picture of a Nintendo Switch that came in unpackaged today to show my roomate, not thinking before hand there may be some policy against that. Ive never been told anything or heard anything against it but would be a good...
