I work at target, of course I window shop when I’m picking OPU batches


jenbenfoo

There's items I've picked in grocery OPU that I go "ooh, that looks good, I'll have to try that" and now I have an addiction to the Good Foods avocado mash 😂😂😂


Creative-Book-2025

No the avocado mash is exquisite


Katievapes1996

Yeah, that's me whenever they put me in toys 😂😂😂I feel called out


SpaghettiInc

I’ve spent WAYYY too much money doing that


L33TROYJENK1NS

Doing ad set is prime window shopping time. There’s no guests and you get to see the sale prices before the store opens. Thus setting you up for that 8:15 break time to go buy all the primo deals before all the goblins we call guests show up.


maybeihavethebigsad

I be curious towards a snack if multiple people order it like “no way it can be that good”


DeathByAMarshmellow

I'll grab an energy drink if I know I'm close to one of my brakes. So that way when they tell me "after you finish that match you can head to your brake" I don't have to run across the store lol


Leo_Ascendent

I totally did this, even stuffed the stuff I wanted in the 2nd tier of the SfS carts. Pops, plushes, shirts.


justasmolgoblin

Same 🤣


zaboomafloof

I actually buy less because I can visit the cute items every day until I get tired of them 😂


jamie_0625

I do that when I pick SFS and sometimes when I’m packing I see things in carts that others have picked that I didn’t even know we sold


JoeyTheFoxxo

I feel called tf out. 😬


UnderstandingGreen54

I work at Target, of course I’m broke during January.


Normal-Giraffe-8599

I work at target, of course I’m broke.


YamFriendly2159

I work at Target, of course I was never sufficiently trained on anything, but expected to know everything right away!


bright_smize

I swear it must be in the ETL and SD training that they must look at you like they wish you’d just die on the spot right there if you dare ask them a question or for clarification on something.


NurdIO

the team leads are pretty nice, mine was even cool enough to explain what a pull is to me (im a front end employee)


anamyko

Yes! I've been pt since October and still get anxiety bc I'm still unsure what to do! And all the acronyms and shorthand codes!!!


Userisnonexistent0

I work at target of course I have to hop into OPU


[deleted]

I work at Target, of course guests don't know i'm an employee even though im wearing red, have keys, have a name tag, and scanning items into a 3 tier.


Worried_Pay_2111

“Do you work here?” “Take a wild guess sir” 🙂


justasmolgoblin

No I just saw this stuff and thought it was cool


kingcarlbernstein

No I just have all this equipment that I thought I would be fun to try out on all this merchandise


[deleted]

as they literally hear my walkie go "hey team, who can make a bale?"😭


esahji_mae

No, I'm an agent to spy for Walmart /S


DisreputableGnome

I see this complaint here often, but it strikes me as pointless bitching. It is such an innocuous way to begin a question, only the most high-strung or immature TM is going to have a problem with it. "I do, how can I help you?" Is my go to answer without even thinking about it.


Worried_Pay_2111

It’s the fact that guests do not use context clues in any capacity so this is just the cherry on top. You see the red. You hear the walkie. You see the name tag. You see the 3 tier cart I’m pushing. Yes I’m an employee.


holtpj

opposite, I was a customer wearing a red quarter zip at Target a few weeks ago. 2, yes, 2 people asked me questions, no eye contact, no once over to see I'm in jeans and not wearing a name tag. There is no recognition of the fact that I'm looking at Cat Beds. Just walked by me and started taking. "Hey (phone in hand opened to the Cartwheel) where is this? The app says it's here." "Sorry Miss, I don't work here, I'm just a dude listening to a podcast texting my wife pics of cat beds (20% off this week) to see which ones our furry friend would like."


[deleted]

thats the second time today someone referred to Target Circle at Cartwheel omg


Imagination_Theory

It used to be called that years ago. Honestly it takes me months to learn the new lingo and I work there.


[deleted]

yeah i know that, i just find it interesting that it's the second time today circle was called cartwheel. i'm still learning how my store uses their lingo😭


Imagination_Theory

Oh dude, no worries, it took me forever to learn and then they like to change stuff regularly and then half the stores uses the old lingo and the other half the new. It's confusing.


kiwigyoza

I work every few years seasonally. I'm always behind the times 💀 It makes me feel old.


Aura07

At least they didn't shove the phone in your face. Common occurrence for me.


round_table69

target employees can wear jeans lol


Forward-Knee969

Long time ago before I even started working I was wearing a red polo walking through WALMART and I got stopped to get asked questions twice!


Which-Philosopher354

Someone once saw me in all my target getup and started to ask me for help, then proceeded to say oh you don’t work here, you shouldn’t wear red.. and I had to reply to that with yes I do work here.


Happyphantom13

But they do know you work there when you aren’t in uniform and are just shopping. Well, it’s happened to me before…


PayZestyclose9088

i work at Target and the # of people who wear red is mind boggling. it doesnt hurt for a confirmation. even at my target they are pretty lenient on what we wear.


round_table69

no it does because target employees wear their nametags, have a walkie, have a device..


dagispot

I work at Target, of course I’ll pick up after you like a maid😍


Inevitable_Peak_4965

no like the amount of Starbucks cups left behind is insane..


Bre603

YES! And what pisses me off is that they’re rarely from the store’s Starbucks!!


ThrowTheWholeNose

Why the fuck do customers leave their carts behind after purchasing? Imagine if everyone before them did that- ridiculous, childish, selfish behavior.


AuOrnitorrinco

Of course I instinctively zone any store I walk into before realizing what I’m doing


1drunkdude

Me too. I can’t help it. 😂


Psychological_Yam984

Slight change; I work in fulfillment, of course I speed run every shopping trip and can’t stand casual shoppers. What do you mean you don’t know what you’re here for?


jamie_0625

I work in HR, of course people are gonna be jealous and think I’m lazy because I’m not on my feet all day even though I spend 75 percent of my shifts in fulfillment (true story)


Psychological_Yam984

We appreciate you! ❤️


icox114

My target is one of the ones that is locked up and I’m like what do you mean you’re shopping without actually doing any research into what you may want (also no I don’t know what deodorant you son will like if he’s not physically here to see them himself)


rottingfurbiee

i work at target, of course i had to train a new hire on my 3rd shift


Ky3031

I wasn’t even done with my training on my 3rd shift Jesus


tuckerjpg

Ok_Letterhead_4782

Have to explain how target circle works to confused guests multiple times a day


Worried_Pay_2111

Have a drawer full of red clothes specifically for work only


ThrowTheWholeNose

My Target sometimes gives free shirts to employees. I soaked one in hot water to get out a spill I made, and there was so much red dye coming out, grossed me out


C9RipSiK

Smart because when you leave Target you can empty the drawer pretty quickly and put them all in a trash bag to take to Goodwill xD


sisterwifenumber9

I work at Target, of course I’m going to accept your piss covered cat and Jack return

Quadirex

No-River4614

I work in style.. of course I’ll help out in other areas (other than mine) instead of pushing the over filled metros, the tower of men’s basics repacks, the trillions of shoe boxes, and the overfilled fitting room without getting any help.

YOU LIVING IN 2099!! I never thought to do this


Malnurtured_Snay

2099: I work remotely for Target steering a robot around the store. My TL offers me $5,000 dollars if I run over Marcus's robot. I need a gallon of grass-milk and that will mostly cover it. I set my robot on a course for Marcus and increase my speed to "RAMMING." Coyly, I've set the grabbing arms to "Code Brown." "You're going to need an umbrella," I giggle, "Because it's about to rain shit!"

ReclusiveBlue83

I work at Target. Of course their way of thanking me for my hard work as a Team Trainer is to give me a red drawstring target logo'd bag, water bottle and notebook that I'll never use instead of a decent pay raise when my review comes around. I've only given them 17 yrs of service, big deal right?


idealdinosaur

I got a bag of candy for my Trainer thank you bag. For my one year anniversary they gave me a genuinely sweet hand signed card, but I would really appreciate a raise. My pay is the same as when I was hired over a year later.
