Tbh, he does have a choice of whether to be there. It's just that if he chooses not to be there, he might be receiving his next check via the mail.
I had a shift showing up yesterday, isn't anymore, HR seems to be playing around with it still, but I imagine I'll get 5:45 PM - 2:15 AM, and then come back between 8 and 10 AM for a second shift. Probably mirror the GSTL's two shifts and be there for 19 out of the 30 hours or so that we'll be open.

How do you know what your shift is already?
My STL told me. The schedule hasn't been published yet. He actually asked if I minded working Thanksgiving. He's gonna be there, so why wouldn't I want to be there? It's a big night for us. I know, I know. We're all supposed to hate working at Target. But I actually work retail because I like it. And I understand that we have work when shoppers want to shop. So I'm game. I can always sleep in January.

Friday at noon for my store.
Friday will be ours posted too.... I kinda hope I work Friday ( Black Friday that is) I really,really dread Thanksgiving only from the fact that it is majorly dead after everyone made the mad dash and we just kinda walk in circles basically finding things to do and everyone including myself is on no sleep because it is dead so ya please Friday!

We're supposed to hate working at target? Is this a new rule or nah?
I don't "like" retail, but the things I don't like have nothing to do with the actual work. I like soul food and my family more than I like work, though. I like opening Black Friday. I actually volunteered for it and told her I'd prefer to just overnight and not come back on Friday. I'd like opening even more if it occurred on Friday, though.

I had a cashier who started this summer come up to the electronics TM and me tonight and ask us how she could get Thanksgiving off. To our credit, we didn't laugh....

We had a seasonal cashier yesterday, with cashier experience, say she wasn't getting on a lane... She was going to shadow for another... Get this, WEEK AND A HALF. then she'd work alone.
I laughed when I heard it.
Her trainer of the day managed to invent something to go check, then the guest from hell with an over flowering cart got in her lane.
I laughed.
I'll be working 5:45 - 2:15, doubt it's uncommon for stores to have decided which shifts
Eh, is it really that difficult to get Thanksgiving off? Expecting to not work Thanksgiving of Black Friday is obviously delusional, but I'd imagine a good chunk of people get Thursday off.
Example:
We have 13 checklanes, including the three at guest service.
13 registers * 6 hours = 78 hours
6-12:00 is 6 hours, so 45 minutes of break time in there.
78/5.25=14.85
We need 15 cashiers to work Thanksgiving to keep every lane manned nonstop for 6 hours, even when people are on breaks.
We have more than 15 cashiers, of course I'm not sure that getting the night off and coming in at 2-3 AM or so is what your cashier had in mind when they asked for the Thanksgiving off, but it's probably the best they could hope for.

We have 18+3 registers, ha, I might laugh again... We don't have 18 cashiers at the moment. Wonder if they can get enough hired?
I read a blurb that the service desk was going to be doing something special with a ticketed item.

We have way more registers than cashiers. Some people who open cashier will be those who only cashier once a year. And the 6pm opening means either a lot of lunches or a lot of people coming in at 10:30pm. Some people won't have to open that night, but that doesn't mean we're allowed to ask for the evening off, either.

We have 18 registers, but at my estimate, only 9-11 of em work. Will they be working to get these repaired between now and Black Friday?
