Archived Target Sins/Confessions

OMG if we got caught with a drink at boat they'd have a heart attack. Course fitting room has drinks, lotion, hand sanatizer. Guest service & GSA have drinks. All this stertech violations

Trying working SB counter & have cashiers come over for drinks to take to their lanes & we can't have so much as a cup of water in the back because of 'maintaining a clean & safe food-prep area'.

 

[Spot the doge]

Cashiers at my store can't even have water.

 

[GSA2ExpressPls]

Cashiers at my store can't even have water.

Ours can as long as it's a close-able water bottle.
They still use the fountain drink cups/sbucks cups, tho.

 

[REDcardJJ]

If the horrible GSA isn’t working, I’ll have a refresher or soda at the checklanes or guest service. Sue me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t feel like it’s a big deal when one of my GSTLs always has a coffee whenever he’s working out at the lanes.

Game system inventory searches make me want to tie a noose to a z-rack and hang myself. I do a search and I get the game system....in black. And in red. And with X preloaded game. And with Y preloaded game. If there's memory differences, all those. And all accessories. And best yet, every single game made for that system. So I'm wading through nearly a hundred items looking for one specific thing. Needless to say, if I get a call looking for a game system it goes straight to Electronics.

So here's my sin I'm confessing. A few days ago someone called 4 minutes before closing looking for a game system. 4 minutes. I knew I couldn't find it in that time, and I had another night of too much to do and every second counts. I also knew that if I passed on a call to Electronics (or anyone) 4 minutes before closing my severed head would be displayed on a pike at the Electronics boat as a warning to all other FROs to not do that. So my response -

"I'm sorry sir, but since it is so close to closing time the computers have already been shut down and I am unable to do inventory searches. I recommend calling back when we open tomorrow."

"accidentally" hitting the talk button on the walkie when I hear a convo (long ass work-related convo and/or not work-related convos.) that is supposed to be switched to a different channel smh... I regret nothing.

I do it all the time. I would intermittently hit the talk button so their convo gets cut off constantly. Or I would go to the channel they're on and I would listen.

The real break room in my store has Steritech violations.

Lmfao it’s great isn’t it? I haven’t tried going into their convos but it’s tempting sometimes

 

[Leo47]

“AP can you go to 4”
me: *switches to 4*

THIS IS ME

Not sure this counts as a Target sin or not but sometimes leadership has me explain processes to vendors and sign for vendor stuff if they don’t feel like dealing with it and receiving isn’t around to herd the vendors.

I do it when no one is around or if I'm in the ambient room. Sometimes they would talk about nonsense like what to get for lunch or they would talk about stuff the team should know like who will cover who or who called out. It's the best thing ever listening to them. And especially cutting them out or playing ghetto music on channel 1 and they would be like "Team, check your walkies" for what? For a portable music player hooked to the talk button? I just don't get that.

 

[YoNanas]

THIS IS ME

Hell yea! I go to the backroom to listen or put it on low volume to my ear.

I tell them I'm not comfortable doing it and they never bother me again.

 

[redeye58]

I've signed for vendor repairs when my ETL or TL weren't there.

I tell crazy coupon lady's I'm the highest manager in the building right now and I won't be honoring their shady coupon or price challenges

 

[Tessa120]

I go into the fitting room closet and partially close the door when I need to fart.

 

[Yetive]

That seems more like a courtesy than a sin or confession .

 

[CabbageKnight]

The Hero we need but not the one we deserve.

Same. Done that a few times. Probably totally not okay, but I'm sure the LOD appreciates it.

 

[can't touch this]

p sure you can get fired for pretending to be a manager but I certainly don't blame anybody for doing it

 

[busyzoningtoys]

I fart in the ambient room.

 

[PackAndCry]

I fart in the ambient room.

I'll remember to tell Steritech that's why it smells like rotting veggies in there.

 

[2nice2people]

What the heck is an ambient room?

 

[YoNanas]

Go figure. It's an unofficial farting closet.
