Conversation at morning huddle:

STL: Let's stretch... To the left

TL (standing a little behind me) sings quietly: To the left, To the left
me sings too...
backroom tm standing next to me: everything you own in a box to the left...

Our little corner of huddle bust out in giggles, so the STL looks and asks what's up... the backroom tm (who is male, skater boy type) says with a straight face: What? Don't you notice my resemblance to Beyonce?
 
This occurred a few days while I was doing revisions in Entertainment. A guest was looking for laundry bags.
Me: Team, can someone give me a location on laundry bags?
TL: Nice job with attachment over in Electronics.
Me: Ahh...I didn't say i got an attachment, I just needed to know the location of laundry bags.
Another TL: "Laughing" They're over in D-28.

It was quite comical. The TL who answered is notorious for only half listening to people on the walkie.
 
Was running the lanes one night and had to drain the lizard. Went into the men's room and get a call from our ETL-HR as I go in asking my location. I let her know I am stepping into the men' rooms Apparently she thought I was going in to do the restroom check. As I have unit in hand she walks in, sees me at the urinal, makes a cry, and runs out. After I was done, I came out, looked her straight in the eye and said "Rachel, I know it's big but it isn't a team lift". Between the embarrassment and the laughter, we didn't see her for a while.
 
I fell like i've shared this walkie conversation before but it's to funny not to share again! This brings me back to my probe day's way back when i first started with Target.

I was called in one night to help zone in softlines. I was responsible for Boys, Girls and Infants. I was told by the LOD that i need not worry about the girls department as he would have the GSTL and some chasers take care of it. it was about 8:45pm when this conversation took place on the walkie:

LOD: xxx where are you in your zone
ME: just about done with the boys department but infants is done!
LOD: I know i told you not to touch girls, but could you jump on that?
ME: Silence......
Guest standing near me: I certainly hope he meant something differently.
LOD: um............. whats your location?
ME: Well apparently i'm headed to Girls.


Thought that was humorous!
 
Very busy day a while back, all SF TMs were backing up aside from myself, the soft-lines TL, and operator/electronics.

GSTL: TL (my name) and TL (SL TL name) I need you guys to come up too.
SL TL: Coming up right now (GSTL name).
Me: On my way (GSTL name), coming from the backroom.

About 30 seconds later...

GSTL: TL (name), you coming?
Me: Yeah (GSTL name), i'm moving in to boys right now, coming as quick as I can.

Got crap for that line for about a week.
 
Had a female guest come in today returning some yoga pants, fitness shorts, sports bras etc. (like $150 worth). She was one of the guests who are very uncomfortable returning things and she ends up telling me...

"My husband doesn't want me to wear tight clothes while working out in the gym, so I have to return these"

Made my morning
 
this doesn't qualify as funny conversation, but it made me chuckle...
we've been having all sorts of label issues with pogs. got our strips in for tuesday and the label strip for one of the books says "**** my dad says". was kind of surprised since the title of the book is like "S*&! my dad says". pa label printed out the same, and when we scanned it in the pda it says "**** my dad". 😉

That reminds me of one I saw the other day in the femine products......the PDA comes up with the product name, but the shelf label reads "Tampon??"
 
I had a customer at my job today ask for those "male enhancement" pills. I couldn't help but laugh and said "you can't get it up?"

Guy was around my age too.
 
One night after closing during ad takedown, a team member kept trying to ask my LoD a question and every time, he interrupted her with loud "balalalalala" tongue noises.

This same LoD also kept calling me the wrong name on accident cuz he was used to someone else doing the shift I was working, so he asked if he could just call me the other name instead. I complied.

EDIT: Another one to add - Not entirely a conversation, but a coworker of mine blared the "AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA" clip over the walkie after closing. The LoD was just like "Who's playing with the toys?" but didn't question anyone even though she had to have heard the violent laughter from three team members from the back of the store.

TM: LOD please, LOD
LOD: Go for LOD
TM: Are you busy at the moment?
LOD: I'm busy working, you should try it some time
*audible laughter and "OOOOOHHHH"'s from TM's a few aisles over*
TM: Funny...can you go to 4?

I'm normally a cashier but was assisting with reshop/zoning and had a walkie, I really wish I had a walkie more often at nights when this ETL is LOD for the night, he likes to be sassy/funny like that all the time.
 
This wasn't between TMs, but it did happen at Target. I was cashiering, and there was a mom and I was ringing up stuff for this mom with 2 kids. The 2 kids, maybe ages 5-7, where discussing their opinions on what germs looked like. The girl insisted that they looked like tiny bugs, while the boy insisted they looked more like green worms with little hairs around them. Was pretty adorable, because they talked about it to each other so civilly, like 2 little adults.
 
It's probably the only interesting conversation I've had over the walkie, figure I'd share it. This is one that I participated in.

Whenever possible, we try to leave a walkie at the service desk so that they can call in their own Flexible Fullfilments, and the GSTL/GSA/LOD if need be. I was closing the Service Desk that night, and a guest came up with a problem that was very much above my level up knowledge, so I went to call the LOD over the walkie. The LOD that night was my ETL-GE, who I am on good terms with and is pretty laid back.

ME: Hey LOD.
LOD: Go for [LOD's name]
ME: I have an issue here at the service desk that is WAY over my paygrade.
LOD: [laughing into the walkie] I'm on my way up.

Apparently that was funny enough for one the SLTL to bust a gut, I heard her laugh all the way FROM SOFTLINES.

I always feel funny telling a guest to "have a good night/weekend" when they are picking up prescriptions for cialis/viagra/levitra 😎 Yesterday, I had a guy respond with, "oh, I plan on it!" And chuckle 😛
 
I was cashiering at pharmacy one Friday while the tech was talking to a guest who was trying to get a refill on her birth control pills.
She was evidently out of refills so the pharmacy had put in a request to the dr's office.
The guest said "So, what do I do in the meantime?"
Tech: "We have to wait to hear from the doctor."
Guest: "Can I get a few days' loaners?" (BC pills come in a 28-day foil pack)
Tech: "Uh, no....we can't break a pack like that."
Guest "Well this just f*cks up my weekend..." *stomps off
Tech looks at me as my eyebrows shot up.

If I had $1 for every time someone asks us for that, I'd be rich. I guess using a condom is just too much work. 🙄
 
I overheard a guest talking on the phone and heard them say "I'm at Walmart". I don't blame them, Target's trying to act more like Walmart every day.
