Where I work now. They have the same self check outs as target. But programmed a little differently. Such as, a customer can put in their own last 4 digits of their credit card but they can't enter an item number. Today I was told that it's a waste of time for a cashier to come over to enter the item numbers for the screws and washers and I should fix it. So to Annoy him and waste his time a little more. I brought it to the blue screen, started pushing buttons and began reading every option their was. Until he seemed really annoyed. Then I said. Sorry there doesn't seem to be a way for me to change the system.
 
Aw, Pink.....
Was wondering how you were doing.
BTW, I'm outta the red house now 🙂
 
Just smile and start dancing!

I was coming out of the backroom on lunch (I was within 3 min of compliance and clocked out in the backroom) and had a guest ask me where the breakfast sausage was. I had no clue (I don't know pfresh that well) and was off the clock so I told him I was on lunch, sorry. As I was heading to the TSC I overheard him mumble "Couldn't even tell me where it was." I was more exhausted than anything otherwise I would have tried to find it for him.
 
Guests don't know about the lunch compliance thing. No need to make a bad impression - you should have said something else or called another TM to help them.

Now if Target was smart, they would respond to criticisms of chip and pin by turning on the NFC readers, so guests can use secure payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

I've had a man use some sort of mobile payment in my lane once. I forget what app it was, but he knew exactly what to do and it worked just fine.
 
I've told guests to go fuck themselves, to their face. Literally. Fuck the vibe.

Guests don't know about manners or empathy for workers off the clock, either.
Even if you call another TM to assist you they STILL get pissy because YOU didn't drop everything to lead them to what they think they want.
 
Today a guest tried to use two (manufactorer) coupons for one item. Told them can't do that but they can keep the $1 off and we'll use the $3 one because saves you more blah blah. Got on me about how they work at walmart and THERE they'd take both coupons because they're different and I just looked them right in the eye and said "This isn't Walmart.".

In hind sight it was kind of bitchy but hey, we're not fucking walmart.

Well to be fair it was a disorderly conduct incident. They were practically rioting in the store. Wasn't just a normal guest, lol. Bunch of idiots all doped up throwing stuff around the store and yelling at/threatening TMs. Two of them wanted to fight me.

But something that pisses me off as a TPS is when guests get offended that AP is guest servicing them. Even in the new "friendly" uniform, like 1/4 guests I service get a bad attitude with me just for asking "Can I help you find something?" because they think I'm trying to deter them from stealing. I regularly get responses like "Does it look like I need help?" or "Why is a security guard asking to help me?"

One "busy" mom on her phone perusing the toddler aisles with her toddler in tow ...
Said toddler was picking everything from the tables /pegs and throwing it on the floor !
I went behind him and picked each items , and put it /fold it back ...
Mom got upset and asked me why I was following her , I simply said that I was not following her , I was just picking up after her son because she seemed distracted !

SD TM, "Don't even bother with a gift receipt. If you don't have the real receipt we won't process your returns. Make sure you tell the rest of your coupon crew." Freaking classic!

DAMN! Harsh! I always want to say stuff like that. I guess there's not much stopping you. What are they going to do? Call a manager over? The manager is going to know exactly what scam it is their pulling, and it's their word against your's anyway. If you don't have a reputation for being rude, you could totally get away with that! 😀

After reading the title of the forum... oops. This wasn't me, I just witnessed the exchange. Apparently the GE-ETL, STL and AP-ETL told the team member to not process the returns for any of this particular group.
 
Well, last week we apprehended a guy who fought and ended up punching another TPS in the face with the handcuff. I readjusted my grip on the arm I had control of, and had to widen my stance a little, and he took the opportunity to knee me between the legs. All my humor evaporated, and I called him, loudly, in the middle of the mall, right next to 4 jewelry stores, a "Stupid fucking son of a bitch," and applied as much pressure as I could to the pressure point under his upper arm. At least he was charged with strong-arm robbery for it.
 
I'm hardly ever rude but when a guest calls and yells at me for not having something in stock ,hell I let them know and if they keep being rude I hang up. I don't have time for that crap

Well, if hanging up on people counts when they yell at us, I've done that too many times to count 😛

Yesterday, a guest got snippy when they showed up at 1:29 with 3 Rxs in hand. I told her they wouldn't be ready until approx 2:15 because the pharmacist had just left for lunch. She is a regular guest and has done this before, as evidenced by her next comment, "I didn't realize you closed for lunch! I've brought stuff here at this time before and the other pharmacist stayed until they were filled..." (Which is a lie) I said, "well, if you've brought others here at this same time, then you are well aware of what time we close daily. The pharmacist is already gone so I can't even get into the cabinet to get the medication until he gets back at 2. I can get these ready for you around 2:15 or you're free to take them elsewhere..." She left them 😉
 
I dealt with a guest one day looking for men's pajamas. I showed her what we had and in each case she wanted to know the price. I would tell her (apparently she couldn't be bothered to look herself) and she would come back at me "I could find that cheaper at Sears". We went through every single pajama item with the same results. She then proceeded to tell me she was part of a church group that was trying to buy some clothing for a poor family that had nothing, but she wasn't interested in spending too much money. So much for charity (by the way she was dressed, she could have easily afforded any of our pajamas). She turned to me and said her friend had bought pajamas at Target and they were certainly cheaper than what I was showing her. She could find cheaper things at Sears. So I finally said, as sweetly as I could (through clenched teeth), perhaps you'd be happier if you went to Sears because it appears that I'm never going be able to make you happy, here. She marched off and that was the end of that.
 
I was up front stocking canned veggies, sharing an aisle w a woman in her early thirties. I kept yielding my space to her as she shopped underfoot. I had a huge pull and time was not my friend. I move to the next aisle she follows. To derail an increasingly uncomfortable situation I asked her about a slogan on her t shirt referring to a local school. She told me loudly that someone who stocks shelves couldn't possibly understand her explanation, and somebody my age (I'm about 60 and yeah it shows) should have done more with my life. I told her calmly that could grasp anything she could explain and was happy with my life. CIHYFS? She walks away. Five minutes later she swoops out of nowhere and restarts the argument. I excuse myself without comment and begin a retreat to BR. She nabs me again. Thank God another tm and a big guy at that, stepped between us and escorted her out. Cause I was ready to deck her.
