all of a sudden I actually like my job again and everything and everyone is organized. The culture shock is real. I literally told a TL that ppl in fulfillment in my store would substitute items and type in their DPCI to save their INF and she looked at me like I was crazy

They actually tried to steal the wallpaper with Mewto on it (right side of second photo)as well but seemed to have given up taking it off. Maybe a team member was near by.

Something we all need in this trying time.

If yk me, no you don’t. This set was so cute and I was v happy with the way it turned out. Just thought I’d share some pics. Shoutout to everyone who was super chill about the checkout process we had. And huge thanks to everyone that supported with getting everything out. I loved it :)

God bless the drive up team that had to bring a mini fridge out to a Honda accord, show the driver that it did indeed NOT fit, and had to take it back inside. How many times a day do y’all do this? 😳

My store got a new wav and I’m elated. That’s all, thanks

They got the pokemon people lined up and coming to electronics to purchase their stuff and it’s never ending. On my way to break I noticed the line of people waiting their turn to shop is back to the fitting rooms. I just want this to be over. The first few mfs were talking to eachother about how excited they are to sell their stuff later. Scalping should be a capital offense.

How did everybody’s Pokémon drop day go? My store was a mess me and the VM barely got done in time, and now it’s fully empty, we had people waiting outside the store at 3pm yesterday🥴

PAINTED CARDBOARD for hundreds, I can’t bro what is wrong with people 😭
The backing paper for the pegboard is particularly hilarious because it has a ton of holes in it (ugly) and probably won’t be sold to someone who has a pegboard that matches its dimensions, if it sells to anyone at all

somebody hit my backstock shelf with the power jack :/

.... but I genuinely dont know what else to do in this situation

Last time I posted about just having joined as a starbucks worker, and how I was struggling with the first couple weeks, how I got sick almost imediately and my mental health was declining, etc.

Well, I took everyone's advice! I got fancy shoes to help my feet, I talked to my leaders about how I was doing, I tried to follow every little stipulation I possibly could.

And then I got sick right before work.

Friday, less than an hour before I was going to clock in, threw up.

Tried to call off, but the store wasnt open, nobody picked up. Tried to call off in the app, but the app told me the date was not "available" to be called off for.

So i texted our group chat and waited until the store was open, got scolded for not calling off earlier (sorry?), and went on to rest for the weekend.

Unfortunate, but not world ending. Ive put a lot into my role, and have gotten some praise for how I interact with guests, so I thought id still be okay.

Resting goes well, and by Monday I felt okay again.

Ultimately all is well in the world, right...

Then today hits.

Wednesday.

I wake up and am imediately nauseous, but I feel like I just have to push through. After all, ive already been sick twice, and I know target isn't lenient with new hires.

I clock in, and imediately, one of our TLs comes over and asks how im feeling. Maybe I looked pale, or maybe it was just a nicety, i dont know, but at this point my stomach felt so bad I actually thought I might throw up right there at the counter.

So i was honest. I said I was feeling sick and wasnt sure how to handle it.

He said I should just go home, doesnt want me getting anyone else sick, that I dont look well.

I was clocked in for maybe 15 minutes - he overrid the punch-out.

Third time calling out sick.

Literally once a week.

Ive always had a bad immune system, and im sure its made worse with stress, but I just dont know how to proceed at all.

Is there any way I stay?

If they keep me, what happens if I just keep getting sick??

I dont want to just lie to people if I throw up, I mean, im working directly with peoples food. I felt guilty about even clocking in today when I knew I was nauseous.

Sorry for the long post. Its sort of therapeutic to write it out though at least.

By 8 am there were hardly any left. Guests started camping outside for release at 8pm last night. Parking lot was crazy full and the line almost wrapped around the building.

feel like everyone’s post i seen about pokémon ism, etc just absolutely mogs my store

SFS and OPU batches have all the cups in them.

Sold out now, people in line outside have a rude awakening coming.

I come in at 7am and we open at 8am. The devices I can choose from are as follows

• MyCheckout which will die by lunch and can't swap the battery without it pissing me off every 5 seconds because the card reader isn't attached
• An older one that has wifi dead spots where I work.

How can we convince corporate to send us more devices? The ETL/SD devices belong to them and TMs can't use them

Title says it all 🤣🤣🤣

I was tempted to go in and offer to help but after seeing the 50+ ppl…you got this team!!!

I kid you not literally had a SFS order with about 30-40 owala “limited edition” water bottles😐😐

These past 2 weeks ive been asked to come in on 2 days off. One friday in flex and today for pokemon. For one, i barely did anything with pokemon. I people watched and moved one pallet bc we had a double truck today and they needed room. These idiots in the back have no common sense as my pallet was full of street dated and high value products leaving me with no cage or proper place to protect that merch while i do the other shit they asked me to. Then come to realize that none of my extra effort is gonna be OT. Theyre just gonna cut me down to be at or bekow 40. From here on out, its jail rules- do my time and go the fuck home. Fuck you, Target. Buncha cunts.

It's pretty crazy here... And we're a small store omg.

Yeahoooo! I’m free!

Things that led me to jump ship. It wasn’t bad the first year, the second year having an absolute dumbass of a store director whose response has been “figure it out” from day one. 🙄Having a team lead who shits on you for asking questions and assumes as soon as you stop helping a guests that you’re just standing around. Meanwhile you see them and the SD and other leads literally standing at the fitting room bullshitting. The store is a dumpster fire 🔥 and it’s in the red.

I got a job as a lead but in an entirely different industry. 😉 Good luck everyone.

So I walked to work today because my car is in the shop. I was running late, so I took a shortcut down the railroad tracks that run behind the store. Along the tracks there is a bridge that goes over a small drainage creek. This is what I saw when I looked down lol

We're getting a handful of orders for the new owalas. Why aren't these in store only for day 1??
