Archived Black Thursday 2015

[CrimsonRaven712]

I have Thursday 9:30pm-6:30am.... well, I'm supposed to off between 12:00 and 12:15 which is odd. I'm not in Saturday at all, but I might ask if they need me to come in because we might have two trucks that day, but then that would put in into overtime so it probably won't happen.

I got the annoying 5 hr 45 minute 1 break cashier shift for Thursday. I asked for 8 on Thursday and then off on Friday. Instead I got 8 hrs on Friday at the Service desk. I don't like working the service desk. Grrr.

3pm-11:30 Thursday awwww yeah.

 

[pfreshdude]

I somehow managed to open til 2:30 Wednesday, have thursday off, and then open market again on friday...what a great schedule. I have worked the last 2 years at opening and it has sucked.

 

[PullMonkey]

1:30 to 10:30 on Wednesday
4 to 12:30 on Thanksgiving
11 to 7 on Black Friday

Could be worse I guess

 

[paperchemistry]

I come in at 10:30p on thursday and work to 7a. only 40 hours that week =( but hopefully I can get some more.

5:30PM - 1:30AM on Thursday, then 7:30AM-4:30PM on Friday. Oh joy.

 

[Flabbergasted]

Kind of sad I won't be joining y'all in the fun this year. I had a blast last year.

How many of you have had guests in the past attempting to get in early with the "I need to use the bathroom!" ploy?

Never.

6pm-2am Wednesday setup
OFF all day Thursday
10:30-5:30 Friday... my first salesfloor shift in almost two years and what I think might be my only hardlines shift since I started 3 years ago (I started as a Softlines TM).
Ad prep on Saturday.

You didn't wear your depends? Sucks to be you.

No one wonders why I get picked for line control. I was probably a really good bouncer in a former life.

The reason I work electronics at 10AM Friday is because I'm not afraid to say no

So what happens if there is a crazy snowstorm or even a thunderstorm/heavy rain?

I was really into Black Friday shopping for a few years before I started working for Target, and the weather has always been great (if not a bit cold).

Well normally I'd say there wont be any of those for me. But since I live in Texas anything can happen at anytime. Seriously it was like 30 when i started working then felt like 87 when I was done working. IF any of those happen people will most likely be just more cranky and fast moving.

My store has a few Porta pottys in the parking lot on thanksgiving.

There's still time to hop aboard the Target Express!

 

[Cat]

I got stuck with a 12 hour shift, and then have to go back in at 3 p.m. to close. Its nice when they don't hire anyone for the season.

For Target, visit this special page on the Target website and enter your zip code. You’ll see a list of stores appear at the bottom of the page and you can click the “get store map” link beneath your desired store to see the map.

Is everyone ready for the tv deals starting today?
Samsung 40 inch tv - 317.00

 

[ElectronicsTM]

We were ready. I set both the 32" Samsung and 40" Samsung on pallets near guest service with sale signs on each. They were gone before I left around noon.

Makin' sales, makin' sales.

The ETL called back to the backroom to ask about them around noon... She took the whole pallet but I'm not sure where it ended up or how well it sold.

That's a good deal, but I'm going to wait and see what I can get Sunday. 10% off all tvs with a coupon, plus my TM discount and redcard which equals 25% off.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

There was a 20.00 gift card with the Samsung, I think.
