I had to finally create an account here after lurking since 2014. I've been with Target since then as a Flow Team member and this new process sucks! They say they care about the "guests", I call the customers out of spite because that's what they really are (and that's how they're being treated). It's nearly impossible for them to shop!
Trying to push toys on a Sunday afternoon is nigh impossible. You have kids and parents zipping in and out of the aisles, while I'm standing there looking goofy trying to push a 7 foot tall U-Boat. It's frustrating for all parties, customers and employees.
I don't even feel safe in the backroom anymore. If a fire broke out, half of us back there would die (not joking). All because Target is getting greedy, and trying to make everyone do everything. We literally have to shimmy around the backroom, like we're Indiana Jones squeezing between two rocks.
Then you have our store leader barking down our neck for silly stuff (took away cages for trash and can't use carts, he would rather see cardboard strewn around the store) while ignoring that his store is a total mess. Seems like all the leads at the store are drones who only care about their own jobs, and none of them can admit that the new process is pure insanity.
I get it--they have to eat. I blame HQ more than them for not allowing them to say, "Yeah, this isn't working in our store." The one size fits all approach needs to die.
