Back

It's been a week since I've last posted, but I'm in classes now and I'm really busy. But, I will still try to write here often.

So with my class schedule, I get tons of closing shifts...Great! My next shifts are all closing. Fun! Yeah, so that pisses me off. At least I'm more in Guest Service.

Which brings me to this Saturday. I work 4:30-close in GS, but Sara and Bridget work 8-4:30, and AShton works 11-5. Why the fuck is there 2 people there from 8-4:30!? And why does the last person leave at 5? On Saturdays, there needs to be AT LEAST 2 people there until 9pm. I'm going to talk to them about it, and push the back-up button more times than I need. And I probably won't have anyone to give me my breaks either. FUCK! They only do this to me too.

Karen was being the biggest bitch on Saturday. I was bagging for someone, I got bitched out for not doing bathrooms, helped Sara give a lunch in the photo lab - got bitched out for not helping with breaks when there was none to do, helped Sara with 2 carts of registry returns - got bitched out for not collecting hangers. Jesus fucking Christ woman! You don't need to do hangers at an exact time at night, but guest service needs to be spotless towards closing. I fucking hate her.

My next shift is Wednesday from 3-close in GS, and that should be a fucking blast. I'm going to ask what the fuck is up with the Saturday situation. Until then, stay classy!

Fun As Shit

Well, working the photo lab was fun as shit. I had a blast. It was pretty hectic up until about 4:30, then it just died. We had absolutely NOTHING to do.

Sara came over to the photo lab about 15 minutes after I went over there and she said, "I already want to fucking shoot myself." Haha! She absolutely HATES Bridget and Tyan. As do I. Sara and I are the only people over there that bust their ass to do a good job. No one else really cares. Bridget is a braindead dolt, and Tyan is a policy robot. Tyan has to say everything about everything she does, and I'm like, just take their receipt, ask if anything is wrong with it, and return it! There is no fucking need to talk them trhough everything. So irritating!

Well, summer is over and class starts tomorrow. Great. Ugh!

And it Has Started

Well, yesterday was dorm move-in for my university. And shit, our population jumps about 10,000. Needless to say, it was busier than fuck. Oh my fucking God, it was just me and Sara and we had a hard time keeping up. When I got there, Guest Service was a complete mess. There was shit all over the counters and carts of abandoned that needed to be sorted, and people kept dropping off abandoned items throughout the day. We were are sending back full carts too often. The good thing is we cleared it all up within an hour of me getting there. Maggie came up and was surprised that GS was so clean. I hope she attributed that to me being there. Sara and I busted our ass to get it cleaned.

But, certainly my favorite part of the day was that the gift registries were down until about 8pm. I have never been yelled at more times. So I was definitely an asshole for the rest of the day because everyone was so bitchy. Because of course it's my fault the registries were down nationwide, jeez I shouldn't do that anymore. (eyeroll) I wanted to say, "You can bitch all you want, but your not gonna get any closer to getting a registry, so save it." There were a few people that bitched because the wedding was the next day, and believe it or not you still can't get a registry, and no I can't look it up on my fucking computer. And even if I could, what don't you understand about that the registries are down!? There was this one woman just freaking out on me and Sara. Well, she walked away pissed, and Sara said, "It's not my fault!" The woman was by the carts and she heard her. Whoops! She yelled from where she was, "I know it's not your fault!" I burst out laughing.

8-4:30 GS today, and it's probably going to be a lot worse today. Stupid Canadians AND college kids. Oh, and we got out at 11:20 last night. Not bad considering how fucking busy it was, but still too late.

This is for all the people that bitched about the registries:

Last Two Days

Well shit, it seems like I've been working nonstop for the last 2 days. Monday sucked because I closed, but there was this funny lady.

So she has a boombox and no receipt because she got it as a gift. Great. So I tell her she has to exchange it for one item in Electronics for $24.99 or more. She of course freaks out and says she's moving and doesn't want to pack this item. She just wants a giftcard. Not possible. So I tell her the only thing I can do it what I've previously stated. She asks, "Is this a new policy?" I always laugh when they ask this because I get to say no. She asked for my 'supervisor' and the manager came up and totally backed me up, which was awesome. She of course bitched that she would never spend money at Target again and the whole typical pathetic spiel. We both laughed at her when she left.

And as for yesterday, it was just augh. It seemed like every person had a ordeal that lasted 5 minutes, adn it was pretty busy. On a Tuesday. WTF!? Well, there was this one person who got something as a gift that was sent to him from Target.com, and he didn't want it. All that he needed besides the item was the packing slip. Which of course he didn't have. It was about 30 minutes before he called his house and had someone read him the info on the packing slip. When he finally got that info, I was busy helping another guest, and so my co-worker plus the 2 head cashiers told him to wait for me because I know what to do. WHAT!? And the head cashiers get paid more than me, and yet they're my supervisors? Oh lordy, I swear if I left GS it would be an absolute mess.

Also, this Sunday I picked up Heidi's photo lab shift from 2-6. I'm excited, but I feel like I'm going to be annoying as fuck because I'll be asking tons of questions. Oh well, I don't really care. I'd rather know the answer then assuming I know it. I know how to do everything back there, it's just the guests questions that freak me out. And the thing is I already work on Sunday from 12-7 in GS, so from 2-6 I'll be at the photo lab. Heidi made Tyan pick up the 2-6 in GS where I won't be there. Funny thing is, Sara works that day too, so she will have to work with Bridgit and Tyan, probably the people she hates the most. I have a feeling she'll beat the shit outta me. Haha! I'll just tell her to come help us at the photo lab. I hate Bridgit because of her fucking voice. It makes my skin crawl. Damn she's annoying. And Tyan is, I swear, a Target robot. She is always so damn perky and upbeat and never complains.

Well, another 2 days off, and I'm going to enjoy it. Haha!

This Sucks

Well, I just had my last vacation of the summer. It was fun. So, I don't have much to update on Target.

I do, however, get to work today! Thank God! Heaven forbid I have one day of R&R when I come back from vacation. It's been SO busy I've heard. I also heard it was like Christmas yesterday morning when the doors opened. I would have shot myself if I saw that. And I've already heard that it's busy today too. Great because I close, ALWAYS do on Mondays. Well, at least it's my last closing Monday for a few months. As of next Monday, I'll be unavailable on Mondays. Haha! Who's gonna close GS now bitches!?!

And also next week I got a 2:30-close CASHIERING shift on a fucking Saturday. But not just any Saturday, probably one of the busiest weekends other than Christmastime. Oh shit.

Well, I get all of my buttons and whatnot from stickergiant.com. There's a bunch of funny stuff there.

More Dumb Guests

We just had a Canadian try to return a fucking Christams ornament! And she was pissed that we wouldn't return it for her. She had the receipt, but obviously it was expired. Well she kept bitching that we were taking her money and that this wasn't right, and she would do something about it. The fucking thing was $2! If you're not going to be back within the 90 days, don't fucking buy it! She can't tell me she doesn't know one person that came down with the 90 days. Holy fuck, and of course her excuse was that she was Canadian and how she doesn't get down here often. I don't fucking care! You and you're stupid ornament are not an exception!

Oh my god, we all got a good laugh after she left. We may have set a Target record with the latest a guest has tried to return a Christmas item.

Too Fucking Early

Well, I get to open today in GS. Yeah for me! Anyways, I'm already crabby because of the asses I helped yesterday.

Ok, so this woman comes up with a Larry the Cable Guy OPEN CD. She says it's so bad and was offended by it. I tell her that because of the FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAW that she could only exchange it for the exact same thing. I realized she didn't want to do this, but that's all I'm available to do. So she freaks out, and tells me to just keep the CD, and as she was walking away, she tells me, "This has nothing to do with you, but if I bought this at Wal-mart, they would let me return it." And she walked away. Um, no they wouldn't you dumb bitch. I almost wanted to throw the CD at her and tell her to try it at Wal-mart. And if she was familar enough to buy the damn thing, she should know that he isn't the spitting image of politcal correctness. So, to make sure she couldn't get her CD if she came back, we threw it in the garbage and then threw the garbage in our compactor. Haha!

Then, some other bitch called GS, and was fuming at me because she couldn't get Target.com to work for her. Because I control Target.com. Uh-huh. Well, I try to help her and along the way she is just nasty on the phone. "Is there any way the store can order what I want so I can save on these damn shipping charges?" She wanted a changing table type thing. I tell her no, that the store doesn't do any special ordering. And before I could finish she snapped, "Well then how do you get the cribs and stuff that's shown in the Infants section?" I told her all of the big stuff like that is in our stockroom, and all she has to do is ask a TM, and we can go get one for her. Well, now she had to continue bitching about Target.com. So I go through the same motions as she tells me, and it's taking a while because I have to run back and forth from the kiosk to the phone, and I could tell she was getting irritated. Well finally I get to where she is, and it says the item will be available in 4-8 weeks and that's why she couldn't add it to her cart. I tell her that they probably didn't put the 'add to cart' button on there because they don't have it in stock, and don't want to keep customers waiting for something that might not even come in. Well of course this was the wrong answer, and she told me to give her the Target.com number so she could see if that really was the reason. Whatever bitch. Melissa and I were joking after that call saying I should have said this, "Ok, the number is 1-800(hang up)" Haha! That would be too funny. Just our luck she would call back. The thing is if there were an 'add to cart' button, she would get so pissed that it was taking forever that she would cancel the order and still bitch. It's a bitch-bitch situation. Some people just have to bitch about everything, even when you're doing them a fucking favor.

Then there was another woman that came up to GS with a vacuum. She wants to put it on layaway. I tell her we don't have layaway, and she gets all snappy, and asks, "When did that start!?" So being an ass to people that deserve it, I told her, "We never have." And she stormed off pissed. Oh well. I don't think Target ever did layaway, at least not during the almost 3 years that I've been there.

And people were just all around pissing me off, like:
-Setting their shit at the computer next to me when I'm clearly wide open at the one I'm standing at
-People holding their receipt while I need to scan it. I don't need to know where it is on the receipt to return it! -Interrupting me
And so they only have 3 people on for the whole day today at GS, and only 2 head cashiers. That will be interesting because it's probably going to be real fucking busy with back to school shopping and the fucking Canadians. Oh Christ! Well I better get going...

But before I do, here's the button of the day:

Button of the Day

If this doesn't cover it, I don't know what does.

Why can't we wear these again? Is it because it's so true?

Haha!
