We just had 2 cart attendants fired for smoking a joint in their car while on the clock. They disappeared for half an hour; the stl ventured into the parking lot and caught them.

If there were enough of them that you can use the word "various" I can't say I'm surprised. I'm more surprised there wasn't violence in the workplace.

It was so ghetto that I'm sure it would have.

Probably late to the party but....
-A Target Mobile guy got fired for stealing video games and DVDs and for leaving the Apple cabinet open which allowed for this girl to steal $800 worth of shit from it.
-A food Ave TM kept buying herself food and forgetting to pay for it and at one point she ended up stealing $200 worth of food. They didn't give her a chance to clear out her locker and there were cops outside. I was actually kind of sad about that because I really liked her.
-A TM was fired for changing clothes in the break room instead of the restroom. This was long ago but a veteran TM told me.
-My favorite GSTL was fired for not properly taking time off when she had to get surgery.
-The old ETL-LOG had the option of quitting or getting fired for not keeping the backrook up to standards and for standing around and for repeatedly leaving us with bad zones whenever he closed because he'd rather us push tubs all night instead. The sales floor SrTL got him in big trouble for that

She would make herself drinks or eat pastries and pizzas and would insist she would pay for it but it never happened. Shit went on for YEARS

They were probably waiting for it to be enough to call the police in.
Seems kind of shitty, just fire the person or warn them and if they do it again then fire them but to play it out so you can arrest them is kind of obnoxious.

Was it meant to make a point?
Not saying she didn't deserve to pay for being a thief but that seems very Machiavellian.

Number one is an honest mistake and ridiculous.
As for number two that is frustrating. I feel like even if you got in trouble for that I would call the hotline on my leadership. I feel like corporate would find them in the wrong.

Yes, bad checks.
As a HRTM I agree with you. We can also get fired if we key in training that hasn't been completed. My STL has some training she needs to do by Saturday or she will go in the red, ugh. I have brought it up to her almost daily the last two weeks and put print outs of training that needs to be completed on her desk several times. It has her name on it and is highlighted in yellow.
How did Target find out about the bad checks or did that Team Member write bad checks to Target?? That would be very stupid to do.

Ah yes I also send them calendar invites that the training is due, I swear they don't care until we go in thr red then it's our fault.
Ohh I like the calendar invite idea, I may have to steal that! I have been sending out emails, talking to the team members, to the leaders. The leaders are pretty good about completing the list I give them but my STL is not ugh

Not my store, but one Mobile girl was gave away free phones to her friends. Apparently she was called into a meeting for something else, assumed it was about the phones and admitted it outright. I was furious when I found out, because I had worked with her and fought for her to help keep her job through a slow start several months earlier.

Lost another because she basically had no concept of not saying everyhing that popped into her head.

Our store is connected to a mall and there are restaurants on the surrounding parts of it. So we had a cart guy who would go around the mall to pick up carts and then would sttop at one of the restaurants that had a full bar and get completely hammered! He did it a couple times but eventually got caught and was obviously terminated.
