Rollercoaster

Life at Target has been a rollercoaster the past month. There have been fun days, and there have been some bad ones.

So, I got my review. It's Target's stupid new thing where EVERY team member gets their raise in May. So since my last review was in November, I only get half of my raise to last a whole year. It all works out math-wise, but it still looks bad on paper. FYI, it was an 18 cent raise. Woohoo... So I'm at $8.48 an hour, which isn't bad concerning my job isn't too tedious.

People have been downright bitchy at our store lately. Even when I back-up at GS, I get yelled at. I told many people about the no receipt return/exchange policy where they need ONE item from the SAME department for equal or greater value, but so many people brought back up multiple items and then BITCHED me out because of it.

Then, our store's system went down on Thursday so some features didn't work at GS. Like receipt look-up. Some people understood and weren't mad, but then there were some who just freaked the fuck out. I apologized for the inconvenience but bitching at me is not going to fix things any sooner. Even with a receipt, we had to type in the price of the item being returned, the VCD#, and if it was puchased on a credit card, we needed to swipe the card. It slowed us down a lot!

I'm going to be quite busy in the next 2 weeks, so I may not post for a little bit. Hopefully I will get more time after these 2 weeks where I can go back to doing a few posts a week. I've just been too busy with school.

Well, I'll keep you updated on the latest developments, and stay tuned for more hilarity. Hopefully I can think up another whole post to some memorable (dumbass/rude) guests.

I Hate It!

So I'm just really pissed off right now. Mostly because I have mostly cashier shifts now. I FUCKING HATE CASHIERING! It's what I absolutely hate doing with a passion. It's probably because I told Sharon, on a day where we were so busy and so short-staffed, that I was sick of it. Not meaning Guest Service, but the way the store was being run at that point. Well, there goes my GS shifts and I couldn't be more pissed. When I work tomorrow, there will be hell to pay. I'm gonna tell them that if they keep that up, they'll be short a Guest Service Team Member. I would gladly transfer over the the photo lab despite my recent fuck-up over there, but they need people for the summer, and I'll gladly do it if they are gonna fuck me over like this. Oh, but I'm not to "bad" to have someone take my regular 4:30-close in GS on Wednesdays because no one else is available. Oh I just love getting used. I can't fucking take it any longer.
