Those are indeed the good bosses.
They are what all the bosses should strive to be like.

To my trainer on Sunday,

You suck. I had been having a great week of training, and was finally starting to feel less overwhelmed about the whole job (what? Starbucks is intimidating!), until I had to work with you for 5 hours. My 9 hour shift the day before with the TL/other trainer was AWESOME and flew by. And yet those 5 little hours I spent trying to train with you were some of the most miserable of my life. You are pessimistic and whiny, and honestly, I don't know why you're in customer service. If you hate the way that the Target Starbucks does things, go get a job at an actual Starbucks. I know for a fact that multiple in the area are hiring. Otherwise, stop griping, because it's not my problem. I'm not even necessarily Ms. Happy-Cheery, but I know not to bring that facet of my personality to work with me. You should learn to do the same. I'm shocked you've been here for 2 years.

Dear fellow cashier TM...you annoy me greatly. I told you specifically not to touch the gift card cart, and I had it under control. The GSTL loved the start I had on fixing the mess that our gift cards were in in the lanes the other day, and wanted me to finish it. I knew where I had been, and what way I needed to go. It really is a one person job, so there was no need for your help.

So what do you do? You pretend not to understand me (turns out your English is better than you will admit to new TMs), wait until I go to lunch, and deliberately undo all the work I did over the past couple of shifts. I nearly screamed when I came back and you told me what you had done. I vented to the GSA on his way to his meal, and vented at the LOD (SrGSTL), and then went back to try and fix everything you undid in an effort to not make it look like I'm a complete moron who couldn't do what she was tasked.

Then YOU have the nerve to whine that your feelings were hurt because I wasn't FFF with you?! I didn't see you being overly FFF with me by deliberately screwing up what I had done. The LOD told me not to worry about it, but good God. When another TM tells you they are doing something and have a method and are good on their own....just let them do it.

PS...the LOD told me that I would probably be tasked with keeping the gift cards looking good in the lanes over fourth quarter because they were so impressed with my organization and attention to detail. I swear to God, you pull this on me again, and you will find out exactly what unFFF looks like.

"LOD, when I was dumping trash into the compactor I found something that appears to be a body.... what should I do?"

To that one Hardlines TL: It's cool that you're letting our developmentally disabled cart attendant work on the sales floor, but couldn't you give him a zone other than HBA? That seems like a violation of the 8th Amendment.

had to make sure that was the cruel and unusual punishment amendment before I quoted. ALL of the TM's who have to even just put things away in HBA act like it's cruel and unusual punishment in our store. I personally love being over there....but I also have a near photographic memory and I love little details.

 

[babytrees]

oh so many tonight and so little time-

to the TM who instead of making white price tags for everything, repackaged every thing.......thanks for making me do that extra work. You are an imbecile.

to the TM who hadn't ever even logged into a PDA almost 90 days in to the job...why the heck didn't you ask somebody, anybody to show you even the basics? I admit that your trainer was sub-par but you really needed to speak up before you took a fitting room shift. I did a quick training session with you and I am guessing that every thing I said went in one ear out the other because it was more than likely you who did the first thing.

To my STL-I hope I am not one of the one's you are trying to get rid of because I ain't going anywhere except when I get another job or become a TL because no way, no how would I ever work more than as a TM for you. I told my TL as much today when we were discussing what we were going to do with me....I hope that you approve the plan that I brought to my ETL. If I am going to be at Target I want to be working toward learning more and moving up.

to that one cashier..

Could you please just for once could you do what you're told? Could you please just stay on your lane? Could you please quit "telling" on other cashiers. Could you please quit making my life hell every time i work with you?

I don't mind doing re-shop or CAFs over there (as long as it's not cosmetics because the makeup POGs confuse the hell out of me), but HBA is a ***** to zone.

 

[StaticSun]

Pushing HBA is fun. Repacks and reshop, though, are not fun.

I am the cosmetics specialist (at least part of the time:nah and I love doing the cosmetics because I do have them memorized....the rest of A and B are the scary part and I absolutely refuse to re-shop the greeting cards. My brain is already cluttered no need to add where 1700 cards are located in it.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

We made a deal with card vendor & just put the reshop cards in one drawer for her.

That's what we do at my store, too. It's just so much easier than trying to figure out where they go.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Way too many cards in different places. They don't need a PDA. Bless them!

that would be awesome!!

 

[TargetOldTimer]

that would be awesome!!

Ask your card person, I'm sure they will be happy to do it for you. Ours has a small box in one of the drawers and we just drop them in there for her and she puts them away when she comes in.

I actually like zoning HBA. Not really sure why, though. Haha.

We do this at my store too. Even though Smart Sort says to put cards in Vendor Pickup, we put them in the stationery cart so they can be put in that drawer thing underneath.

I like zoning hba too. It might be all the weird questions that I get from guests?

 

[Retail Girl]

To the HR-TM who does the schedule, thanks for giving me two GS shifts on the next schedule! Though putting me on for one of them out of my availability was not impressive.

Thus, thank you to the GS-TM who so nicely swapped shifts with me so I wouldn't lose a shift back there if I would have just given the problem back to hr.

To the GSA in training...I called you over because I needed someone with a walkie to call for the LOD (only manager type person on at the time....late evening in a ULV...it's how we roll), at the guest's request. It had nothing to do with the front end, anyway. So refusing to call for one and telling me that you were a manager? Dude...the new TMs may fall for it, but I know you are a TM like the rest of us who gets paid a bit more to take a lot more bs.

To the TM who was helping me out on another issue with the same guest, thank you for radioing up the LOD for me. Turns out. The LOD and AP had to out their heads together to figure it out, anyway, so miss "I'm a manager" wasn't going to get far anyway.
