Definitely Sick

Well, I absolutely had to leave work yesterday, I felt like I was going to pass out. I asked Renae at 4 if I could go, and she said I could. I went home and slept. I knew I couldn't ask Karen if I could go home because she probably wouldn't have let me, or if she did she would have made me feel guilty about it. So I was either going to ask Renae or Krista, but Krista was busy.

But yesterday was SO busy! Oh my fucking God! So many fucking Canadians, and most were rude. There was this one really nice guy though, so that's why I say most. Well, anyways my second guest of the day was this crabby old Canadian guy. I was ringing him up, and he said, "I guess you don't take debit payments here, do you!?" I told him we do, and he interrupted me, "Well then where do I put the card!?" I pointed to the fucking machine that was right fucking next to him. I also asked him if he wanted to save 10% if he was approved for a Target Visa, and he said, "What good would that do!? I'm from Canada. (sigh)" Well, I wasn't about to argue that it was a VISA and could be used anywhere Visa is accepted, but I decided to just let him leave. Jesse also came through my lane and said, "You're missing all the fun in Guest Service today." Yeah, thanks for rubbing it in asshole.

I don't work until Wednesday, so hopefully I'm a lot better by then. I'm doing a lot better than yesterday thank god!

Well, I guess I better continue to do nothing.

So Pissed Off

So, I took Phyllis's shift last night. Well, as soon as I get there Laura says, "Haha, have fun!" Ok, thanks for getting my day off to a good start. And I see that NO ONE did defectives or garbages or tips for the whole fucking day. Their excuse? It was really busy. Yeah, bullshit. Even if it's busy and I'm working, I make sure to bring back defectives and the other stuff as a sign of RESPECT. I know they didn't mean for it to upset me, but sometimes I wonder. It seems that I'm always doing the work, while everyone else sits their and does a half-ass job. So, yeah it was busy when I took defectives back, but I really didn't give a shit. If I got yelled at for leaving while it was busy, I would've flipped.

Jesse was being an asshole the whole night, so it wasn't much fun. I mistakenly said, "I can't find a scissor." Of course he had to correct me, and then wouldn't let it go for the rest of the night. SCISSORS! There! Are you happy now!?

Fucking Christ, then Krista came up to the counter and asked how I was doing, and I was still totally pissed off, doing things mentioned above while Jesse was just talking, I said, "I'm ready to quit." then she tried to make me smile but I was too pissed off.

Today I get to cashier. Just fucking great. And I only got 3 hours of sleep last night because I'm starting to get the flu, either that or I had food poisoning. I don't know. I barfed twice so, my stomach doesn't feel the greatest right now, so I will tell them when I get there that I'm sick and might not make it the whole way. 1:30-7. A lot can go wrong it that amount of time. Well, I suppose I better get ready...

P.S. Where did all my commenters go? (tumbleweed rolls by)

So Many Things to Say

Well, these past few days have been filled with the usual bullshit Target spews out, so let's begin.

On Thursday, I was cashiering and it sucked, of course. It was so fucking boring. I told Sharon that I was only available to 9:30, but I could stay until 10 and leave RIGHT AT 10! So when 10 rolls around, I help Sara with the defectives. We take our time so we don't have to help the floor. So after we are done with that (10:15ish) I go up to Sharon and tell her I'm leaving. Nope, she told me to do the cart of housewares returns before I leave. So I took the cart, went and did most of it, and hid the stuff I couldn't find. HEHE! After that I went and told Sharon I was leaving, and she let me go.
But earlier in the day, I was giving Sara a break at the service desk. This guy called in and said, "I bought a microwave there today, and it doesn't fit." I'm thinking What the fuck do you want me to do about it!? He then told me he needed a 400 watt microwave. So I ask him if he saw any on the shelf when he bought the other one. "I can't understand you!" So I repeated, "Do you want me to see if we carry any 400 watt microwaves!?" He kept saying that he couldn't understand me, and then topped it off with, "What are you doing, chewing on the telephone!? I can't understand you!" I was getting really pissed off, because of course it's my fault he has a shitty phone. So I said, "Do...You...Want...Me...To check...If...We...Have...400 watt microwaves? He yells, "Yes!" So I check, NOPE! So I told him that and hung up the phone. Why the fuck was that directed to Guest Service anyway, that should've been transferred to housewares. What a fucking asshole!
As I was cashiering, Sharon came by and told us there was prizes for getting Target cards. Dexi was right behind me, and she said, "Thanks Sharon" in the most sarcastic way. I couldn't help but laugh.
Also that day, we got our schedules for the 3rd week...FUCK! I have 4 shifts, one of which is Guest Service and it's 4 fucking hours on Sunday! 4 fucking hours! Thanks for nothing! Then of course I cashier Wednesday, 2 to fucking close! Then on Thursday it 5:15 to 9:30 cashiering and Saturday 11:30 to 3:45 cashiering. This really fucking sucks because all of the head cashiers are getting all the hours up there so they can have 40 hours a week. Fuck them!

That was all on Thursday, and next is Friday:

I was in Guest Service, no really crabby people so I've got no stories. :( It was so dead. There was barely any people in the fucking store. Thank God! When I first got there, Kari was working. I swear you cannot talk to her. She won't let you say one god damn thing. First of all, she's telling a story, and when she's done, I begin to tell a similar one, but as soon as I say a couple of words, she starts with a new story. It fucking got on my nerves!

So today I wasn't supposed to work, but I took Phyllis's shift from 6-close in Guest Service. I only take Guest Service shifts because as you know I hate cashiering. Hopefully it will be fun. The weekend always brings out the worst in people. I'm not looking forward to closing, it will suck. Maybe I can try sneaking out. Hmm...You didn't hear that from me!

And tomorrow I cashier 1:30 to 7, so that will suck.

Everyone have fun this weekend! God knows I will!

Check This Out!

Check out this link: http://www.customerssuck.com

It's awesome! Maybe it can keep you busy when you're not here reading my unbelievable blog. Haha!

Well, anyway check it out, it's good fun!

And tomorrow I work cashiering 545 to close. Grr! Especially when I'm not available to close. Well, if they piss me off, I won't close. Damn it just sucks having the ball in my court. Hahahahaha, let's see them piss me off!

We also get our schedules for the 3rd week...I don't know what to expect. If the last couple of weeks are any indicator, it should be a good week with mostly Guest Service shifts, but you know how they like to fuck me over any way possible...

That's what pisses me off, I made this blog to remember funny moments in Guest Service, not bitch about everything under the T. With less and less GS shifts, that's less and less funny-stupid people I run into. Well, if you wanna read about some stupid guests, check out my archives. There's bound to be some good ones you haven't seen before.

Well, I'll hopefully be back on tomorrow bitching about my shift, or on Friday before or after that shift. Augh! Let's just say I'll be back...sometime.

Not so much

It wasn't very fun today. There was barely any funny-crabby people. There was barely any crabby people period. It was just a shitload of people constantly.

Only news is that Melissa called in sick, so me and Tony had to pick up the slack. I was scheduled until 5 and Tony until 7:30, and so I stayed until 7 and Tony stayed til 9. But Sharon gave Tony a free lunch, but not me. WTF!? That pissed me off.

So before we decided to stay longer, I asked if they could call anyone. Sharon said she already had a list. OK, but could you fucking call someone!? She didn't, she just assumed one of us would stay. Fuck her. Well, I said, "Call Krista." And Sharon flipped on me yelling, "It's not her weekend to work!" I said, "It's never my weekend to work." And Sharon said, "It's ALWAYS your weekend to work!" Again, fuck her. Isn't Krista a team player? Can't she help the team? Well, don't call me on my day(s) off because it's not my day to work. Yeah, I can be an asshole too. And now because of Sharon's attitude, I will be.

Around 5 it completely died because of the Super Bowl. So basically my job description was to stand there and try to stay awake.

So...next time I work is Thursday and I close cashiering. Ick! I'm sure I'll be bitching sometime before or after that happens, so until then...STAY TUNED!

Fun Stuff

Cripes! Today was fun at the Service Desk, with a lot of funny-crabby people. Holy tomato, here goes:

There was this one lady who wanted to pay on her account. Well she didn't have her card, her statement, or her account number, so I told her I couldn't process her payment. She asked if I could look her information up on my computer, and I told her our computers do not have access to that information. She flew off the handle and asked if she could buy something and charge it to her account. I told her no, that we needed the card to process a purchase. She calls me a liar, saying that she's been in this store without her card or account number and was able to purchase things on her account. I told her that wasn't possible, and she stormed away and said, "I don't think you know what you are talking about." or "You don't know all of the information" or some bullshit like that.
-Yeah, ok, we are suppose to charge it to your account just by you walking into the lane without your card? How stupid is that? What a fucking moron!

Then there was this Canadian (rude of course) and he had a FoodSaver that he wanted to return. Well, he didn't have his receipt, and so my co-worker tried looking it up on his credit card. It didn't show up and she asked him when he purchased it. "April." As this was obviously over the 90 days, my co-worker told him that we have a 90 day return policy, and needed a receipt for a return. The guy flips out yelling, "I'm from another country! I don't get down here often! I want to speak with a manager!" The LOD comes up and they re-explain the situation. The LOD says exactly what my co-worker said, but the guy wasn't having any of it. He kept yelling that Target should be responsible for the products it sells, and the LOD told him that we are responsible for the products for 90 days, after that he has to go through the manufacturer. The LOD apologized for this situation, but the guy said, "You're not sorry! I am a good customer here, and you aren't making any attempt to satisfy me." The LOD said, "Sir it has nothing to do with what kind of guest you are, it's 90 days for everyone. Again, I apologize." The guy kept yelling, "You're not sorry! you're not sorry! I'm sorry for ever shopping here!" And he walked away.
-Just because you live in another country DOESN'T mean the rules are null and void to you. Why expect that you are the exception just because you live in another country? I've had people that live farther away than you come in here and get their exchange within the 90 days! It's not an excuse, if you wanted to return it so damn badly, you would've been down here sooner. I've had Canadians tell me they ignore the expiration date on the receipt because they say it doesn't apply to them because they live in Canada. I don't feel sorry for you.

Then as this guy was freaking out, I was helping another woman. She got a gift for Christmas (why are people STILL returning Christmas gifts!?) and it was over $10. I tell her she needs to exchange it for one item in hardware that's that amount or greater. She asks for a manager, and the LOD is right next to me talking with the guy mentioned above. So we listened to the whole spiel, and the LOD helped me. The lady wanted to be able to spend it anywhere in the store, not just hardware. The LOD again backed me up and told her it had to be in hardware. So the lady finally agrees. She looks at me, and says,"Well, aren't you going to give me the giftcard!?" I told her she had to exchange it for one item in hardware, and that I wasn't giving her a giftcard, she had to do the exchange now. Well after arguing she finally went to look, but came back empty handed, she took her stuff and left.
-So my co-worker and I were both getting chewed out at the same time. We both laughed at them after the fact.

Then there was this old guy with an unlit cigar in his mouth. (WTF!?) He bought the wrong kind of pop, so he was returning it. The receipt was dated the day prior, and he paid with a check. So, it was going to give him a giftcard back because the check hadn't gone through yet. He told me this was the reason he doesn't shop at Target. I burst out laughing because he was going to buy the kind he wanted! What is so terrible about getting a giftcard back if you're just gonna use it right away anyway?

As you can see it was a rather interesting day today. I get to do it all over again tomorrow. I love Guest Service! It's so much fun dealing with idiots!

Peace! I'll be back tomorrow with hopefully some more funny ass stories!

Back To Bitching

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I just got my schedule for the 3rd week. And to no surprise I have a shitload of cashier shifts, 3 to be exact. Then I just have 1 Guest Service shift and its a measly 5.5 hours...Gee thanks. (eyeroll) I am seriously considering leaving to find something I would like to do after I graduate in the year 2050. (jk, more like 2049) But that brings back the whole thing about leaving 'the team' at Target. I guess I need more information to base my decision on. I tried looking at everyone else's schedule and they don't have many GS hours either. My question is where did the GS hours go? If I am only going to get 1 puny GS shift a week with more cashier shifts, I don't think I can make it... Augh!

Walking on campus today, I saw 5 billion people that worked at Target. We all say hi to one another, so we may have the biggest group on campus. In between every class I see at least one Targeteer. And in all of my classes I also have at least one Target person in there. So on average I see about 10 Target people a day. Weird.

Those trying to find out what city I work in *cough cough Target Corp.* now have these clues to go by:
College campus
Too close to Canadians
SuperTarget
I GAVE you all of the names of the people that work in GS
*not that hard!*

Ahh, fire me if you want, although I don't think they could just because I'm typing here, I've got nothing wrong with the company, just the shit that goes down in my store. But, I'm sure they would make a reason to fire me. Huh, my loss...

Well, I open Guest Service tomorrow. That should be fun, since I haven't fucking worked up there in 2 fucking weeks! There will be nothing to do for the first 2 hours, except help the crabby grannies. And Sunday, I'm also in GS, so this may be a good weekend with funny guests. When you're cashiering, you don't get to interact with as many crabby people...funny crabby people. So, hopefully I can tell some GS stories instead of bitching about cashiering for a change...a well needed change. Be back tomorrow!

The Age-Old Question

Why do I still work here if it sounds like everyday sucks?

Well, it's complicated. I love working with my fellow level 1s, and we all joke and it really is like my second family. I've been at this store for a while now, so I know everyone pretty well, except the newbies of course. I have a lot of good friends under the T, most of which I never would have talked to otherwise. We do stuff outside of work, and so when working it makes the day go by that much quicker. The pay isn't half bad either. Getting paid for what I do seems like they are overpaying me somedays.

All and all, I think I like to complain. But hey, it's MY life, and I'll decide what I want to do with it. Usually I'm just venting because everyone needs an outlet. Would you rather have someone let off steam here or go beserk when they can't handle it anymore? If you don't like to hear me complain, the 'Next Blog' button is up there for you to enjoy. My blog, my way.

This may seem like a random post, but I was just responding to a comment on this site. I'm not trying to be rude, but quitting never really solves anything. I figure if I stay with the almighty bullseye, I might be able to change things for the better, if not I have a hella lot of good stories that can make people smile.

And if anything, I hope this blog makes people realize that retail employees are people too, and please treat us as so. Be polite, and you will make a good impression on this person. I remember plenty of days where I was having a crummy day because of how people were treating me, and then one person comes along, and is so nice and understanding that you say you smiled at least once that day. Treat these retail employees with respect because I know from experience, we treat you the way you treat us.

Any other questions? ;)

Picture!

This MAY be where I work. I'm not sure.

Holy Fuck!

Well today REALLY sucked. Yet another day of cashiering. I was on lane 25, but there weren't many TMs there so we were really busy. And to top it all off, we got 2 fucking busloads of rude-ass Canadians. Fuck, I hate them.

Well, my day started and about 30 minutes into my shift, I get a big order. Heather decides to help me bag. Well, as I was ringing things up, right in the middle of the transaction, Heather asked if he wanted to sign up for a Target card. He said YES. I was going to fucking ask him at the END of the transaction, like NORMAL people do. So anyway, she got a card and I got pissed. If you are bagging for someone, you should at least give the cashier a CHANCE to ask before you do. It was totally disrespectful, and she didn't get a thanks. Fuck her!

Cashiering is boring, plain and simple. I honestly could not tell you what I did today. I did it all subconsciously, and I probably looked like a pissed off robot. I have listened to people, and by the time they were done talking, I already wasn't paying attention. Whoops.

Ok, this Canadian guy (I FUCKING HATE CANADIANS!!!) comes up to my lane after I shut my light off. He rudely asks me, "Can't you ring just this one thing up!? It's just one thing!" I wasn't going to because then the people who I already turned away would think they could come back, and use this guy as an excuse. Well, I look around and no one is really heading my way so I decide to just do it. Looking back I wouldn't have. This jerkoff was a complete asshole when I rang him up. Look buddy, I'm doing you the fucking favor here, so at least you can show some fucking thanks! He was pissed because he probably thought he was the exception to the rule (all Canadians do) and they treat the Americans like shit. You know what Canada? Stay in your own fucking country for once, I know it sucks up there, but stay put.

I took Phyllis's shift for next Saturday. I wasn't scheduled, and don't have much of a life, so why not make some bucks? Well anyway, it's in GS so it's not too bad. It's closing on a Saturday. Umm...that's the only bad part.

Becky is back from her injuries, and Tyan is back from falling off the face of the earth. Weird. We were just talking about her the other day, only thing is now she cashiers. That would be enough for me to quit.

Next time I work, it's on Saturday, and I open Guest Service. Wow. That is gonna be fun...ok maybe not. It's so boring in the day, but hey it's better than closing. Amen to that. (I thought I would add that to make it seem like I...What the fuck!? Just ignore me.)

Oh yeah, when I got to work, I went to see what lane I was on, and I noticed my break wasn't written down. So as I was writing it, Karen walks in. (Just fucking great, I know) She asks bitchily (new word?) "What are you doing?" I told her I was writing my break down. "Why!?" Umm...because it wasn't written down dipshit! "Well, you don't get a break. Ha-ha. I'm just kidding. I must've missed it." Now it may seem like she was joking, but the way she said it, it sounded like she had it pre-written out, and was reading off a script. And it was very robot-like, that's maybe why Target likes her. Target likes robots. If you stand up to one of them, they will plow you down. You need to be a doormat for the power-hungry people that are in charge. If you're not a doormat, bye! Being a doormat is just one component of turning humans into robots. More robot talk in another post, perhaps where it makes more sense, if any.

Ahh, a few days off...What will I do? Oh yes, NOT WORK! Woo Hoo! Well, I don't know what to write. Haha, and yet I'm still typing.

This weekend is all GS for me! Yes! Finally! It's been almost two fucking weeks since I've been up there! Two fucking weeks!? And I'm still employed? By Target? Wow. I must've been in a damn good mood. Well I wasn't, according to my posts. It is amazing though, going 2 weeks without working up in GS. Let's not have that happen again, OK?

Now that everyone thinks I'm out of my mind, I am. Haha! betcha didn't see that one coming! You have to be out of your mind to work in retail.

Oh Boy...

Yesterday DID in fact suck. I was a breaker so things went alright for me when I first got there, I just worked on some $ spot pulls. When I was doing that, some kid showed me a whole bunch of open packages of cards. I showed AP and they said someone had to have stole them that day because they checked that area before we opened, and it was fine.

Well, giving breaks was going fine until I was told do abandoned. Then the green side picked up and Karen yelled at me. She said, "You need to jump on a lane, we are backed up. If we are backed up, you need to jump on instead of doing abandoned. Take over for (SFTM)." Ok, a simple Could you take over for (SFTM) would've done the trick. There's no need to be a fucking bitch about it.

And then, my printer got fucked up on another lane so I called her. She came down, and got the check out of the drawer, and ran it through. Then she bitched me out because of that because I was *supposed* to know that. Yeah, I haven't cashiered for a while, so I'm not familiar with what fucks up the machines. But she chewed me out IN FRONT OF the guest anyway.

Then she comes back and tells me to go clean the bathroom after I'm done with that break in a bitchy tone. So when I finally get done with the break I go into the bathroom, and press the button. I didn't clean, but I'm not going to after what happened in November. (See 'I had a shitty day...literally') So she comes back and asks me if I did it, and I told her yes. I'm sorry that's not my job. I refuse to clean up ant excrement because a fucking idiot (typical Target guest) can't piss in the fucking toilet or read when a toilet is out of order.

Oh but that's not all. On a different lane, this guy ran his card through, and after he was done paying and shit, he told me he forgot to give me his coupons. I told him I could give him cash back for those, but then he had a rewards card too, so I decided to call a head cashier to 'Fix it Fast.' Karen comes over and tells me I need to ask the guest for coupons every single time before I hit total, and of course this was my fault again, not the guests. She told me they were re-training the cashiers because of this. Um, maybe you need to change the fucking system so that when someone puts their card in, we can still do things before it processes itself. God I fucking hate Karen! She's such a fucking bitch! And if she's reading this, FUCK YOU!

Then I was on a lane giving a break, and Karen told me to jump on another lane when that person came back. I was on that fucking lane for 30 minutes because people just kept coming and coming. All this with my lane's light OFF. And I'm a breaker! I need to give people their breaks, not help with back-ups. But Karen never came back to get me off the lane so I could go give breaks. While I was on this same register, this woman said Electronics was holding a game for her. So I call Electronics on their phone...no answer. So I page them on the walkie...no answer. So I call the operator, and tell her to page them...no answer. I helped a few people, and paged them again...no answer. I helped another person, paged them again...no answer. So I finally just left my fucking lane walked across the damn store to get the fucking game. There was shitloads of people standing around the Electronics boat, and they all assumed that I was there. I got asked several different questions, to which I just said, "I don't know, I don't work over here!" I don't care if I was rude, I wasn't in Electronics, and I'd be MORE than happy to tell the manager why I had to walk over there myself. So I grabbed her game and walked back. I rang it up, and the woman that was in my lane before I left came back into my lane (Light is still very much off) and gave me an attitude. I really fucking didn't care, so I rang her up and she left. But then people started coming into my lane again. Now it was time for me to leave, so I rang people up quickly, and walked away from my lane. I left. I was about to go bitch Karen out, but I really just needed to get out of there. Moral of the story=Karen is a fucking braindead retard!

Well, I cashier on Wednesday too! Yeah! This will be so much fucking fun! I could seriously shoot myself right now! Woo Hoo! It's only for 4+ hours, but still anything and everything can go wrong in that amount of time.

P.S. The Food-Ave shit is also starting to hit the fan again. I can save the whole story for a later post.

Today Will Suck!

So 7 hours of cashiering today is definitely NOT going to be fun today. If yesterday is any indicator, the store will be packed yet again. I have no fucking idea why this town is so busy this weekend. I swear, you leave town for one night and when you come back, everything is fucked up!

I got my schedule on Thursday for the 3rd week, and I have 2 GS shifts, and 1 cashiering. (grr) And the cashiering one is on Thursday, and I close. Funny thing is, I'm not available to close on Thursdays... I haven't decided to make a big stink about it until I see how my shifts up to that date go. If they are being assholes, then I will NOT close, simple as that.

After today, I don't work until Wednesday (I think) and of course its cashiering. Then the next time I work will be Saturday, and I fucking open Guest Service. Ish! No sleeping in for me that weekend!

Ahh, well I guess I better get ready for the shit that will go wrong today. Fucking Canadians better stow the 'tude, or they will get it from me. AUGH! I FUCKING HATE CASHIERING!!!!!!!

I Survived!

It really wasn't that bad today. Yes cashiering still sucked, but I was around people I liked, so it made the day go a lot better. I also watched Guest Service a couple of times. Not a whole lot to report, although the next time I work will be on Sunday...great. Oh and it's cashiering of course, 7 fucking hours.

Well, as my other post says, I'm going to be outof town Friday, but will be back Saturday although I'm not sure if I will post anything or not. I guess we'll see when we get there.

Cashiering Tonight

Well, I don't fucking work in Guest Service until NEXT Saturday! What the fuck!? So I'll enjoy cashiering until then. (Fuckin' asswipes) And I open that Saturday, which will suck even more. But I am going to be off this Friday and Saturday to booze it up to (hopefully) erase my memories of how Target is fucking everyone up the back door. Augh! I fucking HATE cashiering, and the new schedule comes out tomorrow so I can only imagine how fucked over I'm gonna get. I'm so fucking sick of their shit!

What the fuck ever, I'll be back to tell you guys how it went. I forsee it not going good.

AUGH! I'm so frustated! Shit Fuck Hell Damn Shit Fuck Shit Fuck!

Holy Shit!

Today really sucked! There were SO many assholes I could've sworn I was in high school again. Well, I don't have much to say but maybe some shtuff will come to me as I type.

Saturday night, cashiering:

I closed, and I helped Sara put up ad. While I was doing this she came and told me what just happened. Kim from the salesfloor came up to get her cart of Toys. She had to sit at GS and sort thru every single fucking thing. She pulls out 2 things that weren't in toys. One went Pets, and the other to Infants. All of the other returns we put away. Then, she gets on the walkie and says, "Oh I guess pets and infants do have returns because the cashier doesn't know how to sort." All this for 2 fucking things!? We could've just left them at GS for the next day being that it's 2 things. So Sara told me this and she said, "God I fucking hate her. She is such a fucking cunt," or something along those lines.

Then Krista came and got me, and told me to start zoning health and beauty. It was Nancy's department so of course she didn't do jack shit. All she fucking does is...I don't even fucking know because she has to farm out her work to everyone else. And even just today she asked the head cashiers if they had any spare cashiers that could work on her pulls. I honestly don't know where the fuck she is or what the fuck she does from the time she punches in to the time she punches out. AUGH! I fucking hate her! I don't close anytime soon thank fucking god.

Sunday, guest service:

As I said SO many assholes. We lost this woman's receipt and she went ApEsHiT. Totally fucking apeshit. She started rattling off about people she knew's problems with Target. Yeah, OK because we obviously care. We didn't actually lose the receipt either, another 'guest' took it by mistake.

Then there was this woman who argued with me about a no-receipt return. She wanted cash (NOPE), one item instead of 2 (NOPE), giftcard (NOPE), from another department (NOPE). I left before she came back.

And then there was this guy who was seriously the dumbest fuck I've ever spoken with. He wants to pay on his card, doesn't know how much so I tell him to call the number on the back of his card. I tell him to dial 9 to get out of the store, but he's too stupid and just starts dialing the number. He gives me this 'what is going on' look so I take the phone and dial the number for him. It asks for his account number, and he asked me what it was. It's the fucking number on the fucking card! So he enters that and asks where the pound sign (#) is. WHAT!? Right where you left it, under the 9! It then asks for his zip code, and this guy didn't know what a zip code was. By now, I'm amazed this guy is even standing up before he forgets. He just tells me an amount and I put it on his card for him. If you don't know how to work a phone, don't know what your account number is, don't know where the pound sign is, and don't know your zip code, maybe you shouldn't have a fucking credit card. And by no means was this guy mentally retarded from what I could tell, although that could've explained it.

The End: (of this post, not the blog stupid!)

So I realize that by putting names into this blog, that is makes me stick out like a sore thumb, but you know what? I really don't care. I'm not getting what I even close to want with this place, so firing me would be doing me a favor. I'm getting one shitty shift a week in GS, my favorite place under the T, and the rest cashiering. And as you all know (both of my readers, LOL more like none) I absolutely hate cashiering with a passion. It is the most fucking boring thing I could do. I would rather sit at home and not get paid than to do cashiering. Fuck! And then with all the new people in GS, even less hours up there for me. I absolutely LOVE being at GS, and that's why they don't put me up there. Target doesn't care about you, they care about the numbers, how fast you are, how many Target cards you have got, but it all rolls into how much money you can make them while they pay you shit. My store pulled in almost $250,000 in ONE DAY, and how much did I get? About $50. And I had to put up with the extra guests/shit that day, and still got paid normal crappy wages. This, while the execs got bonuses. Yeah, complete and utter bullshit. What the fuck ever, I'll enjoy my cashiering for the time being, and say goodbye to GS to which they are slowly take me away from. I'll tell you one thing, if they EVER take me out of GS for more than a one week period, I'm quitting plain and simple.

P.S. Would you like to save 10% today if you're approved for the Target Visa? (LOL)

GS Employees

I just read through all of my posts in this blog, and I decided to list everyone that works in GS so when I check back from the future I can see who is still there and who has left.

Well here goes:
Me
Heidi
Sara
Jesse
Tony
Pam
Phyllis
Deb
Amanda
Mary (microwave)
Angela (dumbass)
Christa
Amber
Donna
Kari
Melissa
Laura
Becky

and the head cashiers:
Krista
Maggie
Sharon

Renae (B-Squad)

I think that's it for now, but I'll add more later when I think of them

Tonight

Well, as some of you already know, I work 7-close CASHIERING tonight on lane 29. FUCK! Lane fucking 29? Just my luck I'll be the first lane open on the green side. I really don't have the patience to put up with bullshit, be it from guests or TMs. But 7-close? That's technically 3 hours. Who in there right mind schedules someone for 3 fucking hours!? But we will probably be there until midnight because my store is fucked up like that. I hope to God I get to do something else, but I probably won't get to. I haven't even gotten my schedule for the 3rd week yet. I guess I really don't care. I seriously hate walking into that store everyday. I feel like punching someone.

Tomorrow I'm in Guest Service, so that will be better. But now I get the shittiest shifts over there. Everyone else gets long shifts, and here I am with my 4 or 5 hours. Augh! That really pisses me off! I would absolutely shit my pants if I never had to cashier again. I'm not looking forward to getting my schedule because I'll probably have 5 billion cashier shifts while the dumbest shits in GS get all of the hours. I don't fucking understand why they keep the dumb ones up there, and not me. I've always been told I'm doing a good job up there so what gives?

Holy shit, tonight is gonna suck some major ass!

Power Out!

The power went out in our store yesterday. I wasn't working, but I went in with a friend to get a few things. Isn't that sad? Well, anyway the generator didn't even come on, so there was about 20 lights on in the whole damn store. Only the 2 tills in electronics were working so there was SHITLOADS of people over there trying to get rung up. Hah! That looked fun...not so much. We stood by Guest Service, and a lady walked up and wanted to return something and they told her they couldn't because the power was out and the lady got pissy! Yeah, they cut the power right when you walked in the door. Jesus Christ! They finally got one lane back on, and the line was LONG for that too. I don't know why it was so busy at 3-4 in the afternoon.

Yes, I'm still dreading cashiering on Saturday. 7-close. Holy. Shit. I work GS the next day, and that week I have a whopping 10 hours! Can't wait to pay bills with that! Ah shit! I wanna quit, but then I don't.

Hmm... I get really bored, and don't know what to say on here when I don't work.

I appreciate the comments! Anyone who reads this should LEAVE A COMMENT! Bookmark this site, I'd love to have a little cult following. Well, have a SUPER day! And remember, SuperTarget SuperSucks! Haha!

Two Guests

I had this woman come up with an open DVD, and she said she wanted to return it. I tell her since it's open she could only get the same exact DVD. She said, "So if I go get it and exchange that one, can I return the unopened one?" I tell her no, and that I'd have to open her new one as well. She got angry and stormed off saying, "I guess I'll exchange it then!" She comes back, throws the DVD on the counter, so I do the return and then I start opening the new DVD. I tell her since she bropught that one in open, I have to open the new one. She says, "This is why I don't shop at Target!" I wasn't about to have an arguement saying it was a LAW, not just Target's policy, but I could care less if she ever set foot in a Target again. So I finish out the return, hand her the bag, she rips it from my hand, and I say, "Have a nice day!"

Then there was this woman playing GS to see how dumb we were. She wanted to return a "king size quilt" that was in this small bag. So the 3 GSTMs are all examining it, and we take it out, and it's a chair cover! I type in the DPCI into price inquiry and it said the quilt should be burgundy, and the chair cover was blue and green. So we tell her that this wasn't the receipt, and she said, "Well, that's the one my friend gave me." We tell her she needs to find the actual receipt before she can return it, and she left. The quilt was supposed to be 49.99 and her chair cover looked way less than that. Sorry, we aren't stupid! We told AP about her, and they are going to watch out for her because I think she will try the same thing again on a different TM.

Fucking retards! I don't work until Saturday! Woo Hoo! But it's fucking cashiering...just fucking great.

Keepin' It Short

Well, the weekend is over and thank fucking god, what a rollercoaster ride! I'll tell more about the asswipe guests some other time. There's a lot of them!

I'll be back...

Jesus Fucking Christ

Today really fucking sucked! I cashiered for 7.5 hours. God damn I was sick of it after 20 minutes. And it wasn't busy so the night seemed SO much longer. Holy shit!

Well, anyway guests were just that guests, when don't they suck? But I didn't have anyone too bad. I was not in the mood. Well Krista walked by as I was putting away some chips and she said, "You can't be eating at the lanes." She was joking of course, so I jokingly said back, "The only thing I need is lots of pills." Then she came over later and I was bitching about cashiering and she was saying that I was in GS a lot, and so cashiering once in a while isn't bad. But, YES IT IS. I seriously cannot stand it. I hate just standing in one fucking place ringing shit through, and saying the exact things over and over again. I can only say, "Hi, did you find everything alright?" "The total is..." and "Thank you and have an nice day." FUCK! I can't stand cashiering!

And then you have Angela working in Guest Service. She was just fucking standing there all night long! Holy Fuckamoly! From what I saw, it didn't look like she even started to close down GS. And this was at 9:30! I'm usually done with major stuff and just waiting for the store to close, but no she was just fucking standing there.

I have tomorrow off, but work Fri-Sat-Sun. Christ! Tomorrow better be fucking NICE!

Hmm...

So I took Becky's shift on Saturday. It really sucked. Everything was going wrong because of what people told guests over the phone. And this little kid came back and said he stole this pack of Yu-Gi-Oh Cards. The mom paid fo rthem and they left. If I knew she didn't want them, I could've just defected them out, but I thought she wanted them, oh well.

I don't work until Wednesday and I'm cashiering. :( Yeah, I'm going to have a fucking blast.

I dunno anything else to say, so live with it. Haha! I'll be back.

Not fun

So today I worked with Angela AGAIN! Jesus Fucking Christ. She once again just stood there, and when she did decide to do something, she took FOREVER and a day to do it. She did some defectives wrong, she gave cash back when she wasn't supposed to, who the fuck trained her in!? My god, I think she's moving to the bakery so I HOPE she doesn't EVER work in GS again.

There was this psycho lady who came to return something today, and she had an obsession with my name. She just HAD to say it at the end of every fucking sentence, and it really creeped me out.

People have attitudes again because everyone is pissy when it comes to returns. But, most are not so pissy that they are funny, so it's really not that fun. It's only funny when people make complete asses of themselves.

Oh I forgot to tell you guys (aka myself) there were these drunk Canadian guys that pissed all over the carpet in the Mens/Boys department. And their excuse was that they had to go. Yeah, ok. So, they got arrested and can't leave the country for a while. Haha! I always knew Canadians were stupid.

Renae (half the B-Squad, for my loyal followers) closed BY HERSELF tonight. I believe Ripley's Believe It or Not came to commemorate the occasion. She was actually nice, but didn't respond to back-ups go figure. She let me leave when I was done with GS at 10:15 when everyone else was still working. Haha! Take that Target!

So, today I had this head of lettuce and ground beef at the service desk. This shit needs to be kept cold, so I called grocery to come get it. A grocery guy comes up and asked if that was it, and I said yes. He grabbed and said that neither of those items were grocery in a rude ass tone. I was about to yell fuck you, but decided against it. I *guess* I was supposed to call produce for the lettuce and meat for the ground beef. Yeah, ok. The grocery guys are so fucking incompetent, would it really hurt them to put away 2 fucking things? No it wouldn't. If I did stay to help close, I wouldn't have helped grocery. Why? All they do is stand around all day and pick their asses while waiting for close so that everyone else can do their job for them. Fuck them!

I was one of the people that have been there the longest out of Level 1s today. CrEePy! First was Sara, then Heidi, then me, and I've only been there for over 2 years. The cashiers were all brand spanking new. That just goes to show the HIGH turnover rate at the hellhole some call Target.

So, I really am not looking forward to working Saturday, but hey it's only 5 hours, and I have no life, so let's make some money. Angela isn't working Saturday, believe me I already checked.

As you can probably tell, this post was rather long, unorganized, and maybe a little kooky at times, but look at what time I wrote this bitch. Yeah, chew on that.

Yesterday and Tomorrow

Yesterday sucked ass! I had to work with braindead Angela. She is SO FUCKING IRRITATING! My god, when there was no guests to help, she just fucking stands there! She could've done the cart of defectives we had, emptied garbages, done payments, brought back defectives, etc. But no she just fucking stands there leaving ME to do everything. Fuck fuck fuck! And Donna AND Renae were both in GS before me and Anglea, and did they do the cart of defectives? Of course not! What the fuck!? Why do I ALWAYS work after the braindead dolts in our store?

Tomorrow I have the same shift, and who do I work with again? Angela! AUGH! Fucking A, I will bitch her out if she is just going to stand there. Krista and Donna will be up there before me, and thank god Krista is leaving when I get there. I don't wanna deal with her shit.

I picked up a Guest Service shift on Saturday, so I hope that goes well.

Until next time...

And as a sidenote, I spent $449 on books this semester. Yeah, Holy Fuck!

Ugh!

Well, I go back to work today after almost a week off. Jesus Christ I don't want to go back at all. I close Guest Service and I really don't want to work with a newer person. I really don't want to close because we are always there late and it's bullshit. I seriously fucking hate that store!

Most of this anger is from how they are treating the Food Ave team. Judy is leaving because of surgery, and Jeannie aka Jabba the Hut is replacing her. ALL of the TMs back there are at their quitting point. Everyone keeps yelling at them no matter what they do, they always find something to bitch them out for. Ugh! I don't even work over there and I'm pissed.

Ah Fuck, the shit is only just beginning to hit the fan, and it going to be a total fucking mess.
I'll be back after this shit filled day.

Random Update

So I worked Guest Service on Tuesday CLOSING! Oh my! It was SUCH a mess! I had no time to do anything because Angela left at 8 and I was pretty much busy the whole fucking time. Ahh it sucked! There was this one asshole who wanted to pay on his Target card. I ask him how much he wants to pay on it, and he said all of it. I tell him nothing shows up on our screen and he got pissed at me like I was lying. So I told him he could call the number on the back of his card and they would tell him. He told me to do it, and I said I couldn't because they need the cardholder to do it. He never called and so he told me the amount, and handed me a giftcard. I told him he can't pay on his credit card with a giftcard, so he asked what could he pay with. I say cash, check, or debit, and he hands me a fucking credit card. I tell him no again, and he was pissed. So he tells me the amount he wants to pay, and gives me his debit card. Our computers are retarded where you have to run it through twice to actually get it to process. It only charges once though because the first time the computer doesn't recognize it for some dumb reason. Anyway, after I process it once, he wants to change the amount he's paying. So I had to void that and do it again. So after the second time of running his card through he gets pissy and asks me how many more times he has to do this. I told him it will work on this try, and it did. God that guy was an asshole.

Then, stupid me picked up a shift on Wednesday cashiering, but Maggie said if I took it, she would make me a breaker. God I hate cashiering, but the day wasn't that bad. Now that I think about it, I was probably the person that has been working the longest there that day. Kinda weird, I was there before everyone else. And I've only been there 2 years, so that just goes to show the high turnover rate at RETARDget.


Well, I don't work until Tuesday, so that's good. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'll post sometime next year...haha so stupid.

And After

Wow! I have never seen it so busy at my store! Every lane was open and there was at least 5 people in every lane.

Guest Service wasn't too bad, everyone seemed to have their receipts and those who didn't were OK with exchanging the item. We only had a few assholes, but way less than usual. I went in early to prep for the day, and everyone else came early and so we all made a game plan that if they were exchanging something, they had to take it with them so we wouldn't lose it. Things went well.

There was a time where there was about 10 carts of abandoned next to the service desk, and I had to sort it. That wasn't fun. Everytime I finished a cart, someone brought up another one. It pissed me off. Then there was this woman who yelled at ME because she couldn't find something. She was looking for an "AC/DC adapter." I think she meant an AC adapter but she was being a total bitch. She said that 2 employees sent her to totally different places and she still couldn't find them. She was also bitching that I should know where they are. I told her I've never heard of an "AC/DC adapter" and she said, "Do you own a stereo!? It's that thing that plugs it into the wall!" Becky intervened and told her the aisle in electronics it was in. Damn she was a bitch!

The news station was there, and I desperately tried to avoid it, but it only showed a little bit and I was in it for a fraction of a second.

I helped this old woman with ordering something off target.com and so that was fun. She asked for my name, so she might tell someone I was helpful. I needed to see how to do it on our kiosk anyway.

We called for our first cart of returns about 10 minutes after we opened, and were calling for them the rest of the day. I brought back defectives first and there were so many after just 2 hours. Then, when we weren't very busy, we started running carts back to the departments, and damn, everyone and their mother was in the fucking store.

It wasn't the worst day up there by far, just shitloads of people. It was fun, and I'll never forget the hordes of people that ran in to get our clearance shit. Man alive, it was funny!

Before the Disaster...

Well ladies and gents, today is the day. The day after Christmas, where billions of self-centered returning assholes visit the return counter. And guess what, I'm just that lucky to be pullin an 8.5 hour shift up there today. I know, fun stuff. I'm expeting to get totally bitched out for our policy as no one will have their receipts, and of course it will be MY fault. Well, I'm writing this BEFORE my shift, just so you can see the difference from now to when I'm done.

There will be 5 openers. Me, Phyllis, Mary, Amanda, and someone else. Yeah, let's put all the brand fucking new people there today because of course they know what they are doing. Give me a fucking break. I'm going to go in early to prep for today. I'll put garbage bags all over, get 2 walkies, and tell people that come in they can't leave things with us for an exchange because I can only imagine them bitching them out when there return was put back. Holy Fuck, I'm going to kill someone today!

I'm getting ready to be totally verbally raped by each and every stupid fucking guest, and so I'm turning up the attitude to the total asshole notch. There is NO WAY I will take their shit. I'm ready to yell back, and also ready to stand in the unemployment line. See how pissy I am now? Can you only imagine after 8.5 hours of complete assholes and verbal lashings? Wow...today is going to suck.

So I will be back after this HORRIBLE day, and if you don't hear from me for a while, I'm imprisoned for killing someone. You can send your bail donations to...no I'm just kidding, but today is not looking good.

Finally...

Well, I don't work until the day after Christmas and that should be a blast. Not really, we are going to get bitched out every second, and I know I will fucking snap.

Monday sucked, Sharon was up in GS and was a total bitch to me the whole time. She kept digging into me on every little fucking thing I did. Right when I got there she said, "We might have you go cashier today." Uh, fuck no! And then, while I helping a guest, she told me that in our free time we had to repackage this box, and Kari and Angela were just standing there. And then I sold this lady a giftcard. I asked her if she wanted a bag for the giftcard. Sharon flipped on me right then and there saying that I wasn't supposed to give her a bag for it, I was to make sure she put it in her purse because our store has been having problems with people losing their giftcards. The guest was just staring at her. I said, "I know!" What is the fucking harm with asking someone if they want a fucking bag, it's the guest's decision, not mine. God, Sharon is starting to become a nasty bitch again.

And Angela was up in Guest Service. She doesn't even know how to cashier! What the fuck!? Who the hell is deciding this shit! You NEED to know what you are doing when you cashier before you EVER even THINK about going up to GS. What kind of fucking retards don't know this! And Angela is your typical middle-aged woman, and they have been pushing for those kind to be in Guest Service. She hasn't even had time to fucking prove herself as a cashier. Damn, I hope she is out the door with the seasonal asswipes. And then Mary is going to be up there. Just fucking great, a whole shitload of new people right before Christmas, so returns will go slow as fuck because they haven't had time to actually get it down. Oh well, fuck them! If they want to totally fuck over Guest Service, go right ahead, but if I have to constantly answer questions while I'm trying to do returns, I will flip on the head cashier because of it. I'm not in the fucking mood to train someone in when it is so fucking hectic at all times of the day.

And, another thing, if these new fucks get more GS hours than me, I will flip ass. Holy fuck, I deserve to be up there because I know what the fuck I am doing, and they don't. Jesus fucking Christ, the people leading my store are complete morons.

Well, that was quite the vent, it'll be even more fun after Christmas. No red and crappies until the day after Xmas. Enjoy your holidays!

Holy Moly!

Sunday was quite the day, oh my! There was 6 of us up there for a good part of the day, so that was fun.

Heidi and this Canadian woman had a all out argument. Heidi had to reboot her computer because the printer was fucked up, and she told the bitch this. So, when I was done with the guest that I was helping, I helped her.
Bitch: "She has been ignoring me and just sitting there staring at me."
Heidi: "No I told you my screen was down and that I couldn't help you."
B: "No you didn't."
H: "Yes I did!"
B: "Well, I thought you were talking to her." (pointing to another employee)
H: "Well, I was talking to you."
B: "Whatever, I'm the customer, you're not."
Heidi laughs making me laugh.
B: "I want a customer comment card now!"
We give it to her and off she went. Then Heidi got a new nametag in case she came back and asked for her name.

What a bitch! How mature is arguing back and forth with a Target employee? And then she even dared to say she was right because 'the customer is always right.' I fucking HATE that saying because the customer is never usually right, and yet they use that saying to TRY to get their way. What the fuck ever, I almost punched her in the face when she said that. Fucking Canadian troll!

I work today also, YIPPEY! I'm sure it will be full of assholes like usual. It will be my last shift this week, and then the next time I work it will be the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS! AUUUUGGHH! It is going to be SO bad up there. I'm gonna wear protective clothing with all the shit that's gonna get thrown at us. Oh boy! People are going to be pissed when they find out that without a receipt, then can ONLY exchange it for one item in the same department for equal or greater value. FUN FUN FUN! I'll be sure to tell everyone who reads this (no one) how it goes because I'm sure I'll have shitloads of stories.

And...

I forgot to tell about the guest who threw gloves at me. Ok, here goes...

So this woman comes up with a pair of gloves and a receipt. Well, the gloves didn't have their tags on them, and they looked like they could've been from anywhere. So I sent her back to find the same pair so I could process the return. She asked me why I couldn't use the numbers off the receipt, and I said because I need to verify that the gloves were purchased here. So she goes and gets them. When she gets back I can tell she was pissed. She THREW the gloves at me! So I do the return and the gloves were on the receipt. She says, "That is horrible customer service," and walked away. I just said, "Have a nice day!"

What a bitch! How the hell am I supposed to know that you fuckin' bought the gloves here!? Oh well, things are going to get A LOT worse after Christmas, and I mean A LOT!! I'm actually kinda scared. Ok, not really, but still people are going to be SO fuckin' rude!

Fuck!

Oh, I really hate working at Target. They took my CC agreement off because it wasn't brand. I think it's bullshit because they didn't take anything else that was taped off. I was and still am pissed because of it. Of course it was my idea, and that was probably the reasoning behind it. I told Sharon that it was stupid, and she freaked out on me saying, "What is so hard about taking out the CC agreement when you need it?" I said that wasn't the point. I'm getting REALLY fuckin' sick of her and Target.

They are training MORE people in GS. Amanda, Mary, and Angela are gonna get shifts up there. It pisses me off. Mary and Angela haven't even been there 90 fuckin' days yet! How does that make sense to anyone!? Well, there goes MY GS hours! If they dare give them more shifts than me, they will hear about it. God fuckin' damn it!

As for rude guests, I can only remember one. She freaked because she didn't have a receipt and had to exchange it. She wanted store credit and that wasn't gonna happen. So I made her exchange it. Haha bitch.

Then there was this guy who wanted to return a digital camera. He had a gift recipt and it looked ANCIENT! The Gift receipt expired in March 2003. That means he bought it in January 2003, and wanted to return it saying he just didn't like it. WTF!? I told him we have a 90 return policy and he'd have to call the manufacturer's number. That's almost 2 fuckin' years! What a dumbass!

Well, no work today. Thank God! I'll be back if I can think of anything else.

What!?

It was abnormally dead today. Probably because of the shitty weather. Oh well, less work for me. There were no assholes today, they must've frozen outside. Me and Jesse were ripping on each other and being funny. Damn women's department and Christmas hams! haha! Ok, well anyway, people really got on my nerves today. One of my biggest pet peeves (I have TONS!) at work is when people just walk up and put their shit on the counter and expect you to help them when you're doing something. AUGH! Wait your fucking turn until I tell you that I can help you! Fucking retards! Oh, I guess there was this one bitch who did this, and then she was really whiny about everything. Fuckin' A, I was gonna blow her head off! Well, I work Tuesday cashiering but it shouldn't be that big of a problem. One day break! Woo Hoo!

Black Saturday

Oh wow! Today has been the busiest day this season BY FAR! Oh wow, there were TONS of people everywhere in the store. We were backed up at Guest Service with 4 team members!

There were TONS of bitchy guests, but I can't remember all of them.

She freaked out on us because we aren't able to take checks written for over the amount anymore. She just kept bitching that there should be signs up and blah blah blah, and we told her they WERE signs up when the policy changed 2 MONTHS ago. She just kept bitching, and saying that they let her do it a week ago. Yeah, riiiiight. Our computers won't even let us do that. It's impossible.

There was this younger couple that wanted to pay on their Target card. They didn't have their card or their statement. I need one of those to process it and we have NO way of using our computer to look up cards. Do people want a random team member to have access to all of your information? I think not, but some people are total asses about it. Well, anyway I told them I needed one of the 2 things, and they totally flipped on me. They said we "were able to look it up last time they were here." WHAT THE FUCK!? It is IMPOSSIBLE to do that on my computer! Just because you say that someone did it before doesn't make the computer automatically able to do it! I fucking HATE it when people say 'Well I've done it here before.' That really fucking pisses me off!

I worked with Sara today. Damn she's a hoot! She threw away an abandoned mitten, and said, "Some little girl is going to have a cold right hand." Haha, we are supposed to log it and that's why it was so funny. She also pranked Food Ave, and was like, "I've been sitting at your drive-thru for a long time now, is someone going to be helping me soon?" We don't have a drive-thru! Hehe! And also she called electronics and asked if they had porn. Damn, she is one funny bitch. I told her to prank bakery and ask if they would make a loaf of bread in the shape of an ass, but she didn't.

Trashy Tracy quit or was fired, I don't know, but damn it'll be nice not seeing her trashy ass in GS.

Well, I picked up a shift tomorrow because they begged me, and I didn't have anything better to do. yes, I'm a loser, I have nothing better to do. Haha! Oh well, I open, and it is going to be VERY busy if today is any indicator.

Fuckin' Canadians...

Whew!

Sorry for not posting in a while, but I haven't worked since Sunday, and do not work until Saturday. Woo Hoo! 5 days IN A ROW off! Damn, it must be my birthday!

So it was SO FUCKING BUSY on Sunday right when we opened. Why do people wait outside just to return something? It's not like we limit the amount of returns in one day. 'Oh sorry we just had our 100th return, and we can't do anymore today.' But then again people ARE retarded.

There was this one total bitch who came in on Sunday. She wanted to return a bra but didn't have a receipt. They tried looking the receipt up, but it didn't work, so we told her about our no receipt return policy. The bra was 11.99 so she had to exchange it for ONE ITEM in the lingerie department that was 11.99 or greater. Well, she brings back a bra thing for 7.99. We tell her we couldn't do that, and she flipped in all senses of the word. Here are a few things she bitched about:
-it was unfair
-she didn't have time to go look for another one
-she wanted us to charge her 11.99 for the new bra, can't do that.
-she was on a budget, and couldn't afford to get something 11.99 or greater that she really didn't want
-she wasn't going to shop at Target anymore
So, the LOD just kept telling her that she only had 2 options, follow our rules or leave. She took her stuff and charged out the doors. Holy crap, we all shit-talked her after she left. Good riddance!

This Saturday, I'm up in GS. It seems like every GSTM will be working that day. That will be my 1st time working with trashy Tracy, and if her or any other newbies in GS ttry to tell me what to do, I will put them in their place. I hate being bossed around by those who think they have power over me. Of course I listen to my actual bosses, but definitely not a bossy same-level TM.

On Sunday, I also snapped on Krista...again. Well, she just came up to GS and started rattling off things for us to do in a bitchy tone. Then she said, "Maybe (my name) wants to do returns." And I said, "Maybe not." It was really undeserved, but Jesse laughed his ass off. I later apologized (totally unlike me) and then she apologized also. So now she acts like she's my best friend, and no she isn't.

So, I'm looking forward to Saturday. I LOVE arguing with bitchy guests! So much fun!

Oh Wow!

Today was actually kinda fun. Did I actually just say that?

No, but there was few rude guests, none that I can remember anyway. So it was me and Heidi, and I was being so damn creative. Anywho, I guess I had a GOOD guest comment about me on the day before Thanksgiving. Surprised me too! I got the guests an electric cart from the other side of the store. It was fun riding the thing across the store, and it was even nicer to get a good guest comment. Matt walked by in GS and he just threw a Hershey bar at me that said "Thank You for being Fast, Fun, and Friendly!" So I assume it was for that.

I don't work until Sunday! Woo Hoo! More time to do homework... :(

Oh, and they scheduled me on a day that got approved to be off. And I have a final that day so... Yeah, definitely NOT going to be at work!

Blah Blah Blah

Ok, today was a fun day at work, except for dealing with guests part. SO many rude people!

Where to begin?

1: Guest wants to return something, but only has a gift receipt. You'd think they'd be happy. Wrong. When we offered the giftcard back, they flipped out. They wanted cash back. Keep in mind that this is a ~$100 item, and they didn't originally purchase it. So we explained to them numerous times that it says ON THE GIFT RECEIPT that you would get a giftcard back if you returned something off the receipt. The woman kept asking, "So you're telling me, that if I purchase gifts here and they want to return them, they can't get their money back?" No, you do get your money back, but it's in the form of a giftcard. We kept telling them this but they didn't understand. They finally asked for a manager, and the LOD came up. They were arguing back and forth, and finally the woman accepted the giftcard. Then, she tried to argue with us when it would expire. We told it wouldn't ever expire, so she couldn't argue with that. Her husband kept saying that Wal-Mart would give cash back with a gift receipt, and we didn't believe it. I didn't know Wal-Mart offered gift receipts, but I'm not in there often enough to know.

2. A group of 'daddy's little angel' girls came up to GS, and one had a return. So I do it, and I put it back onto the Visa that was used. The girl wanted cash back. I told her the only thing I could do was either put it back onto the Visa, or on a giftcard. Her and her friends all said they've been in before, and got cash back with a credit card. I told them that person shouldn't be doing that, and I wasn't going to. So, they wanted it on the giftcard, and I had to call a GSTL to void the other return onto the Visa. So when the GSTL gets up there, the start arguing again, but this GSTL is brand new, and doesn't know her way out of a paper bag, so she just told them to listen to me. So, I put it on the giftcard, and send them off. And of course, I hear them talking about how they could all get cash back. Oh well, not on my watch.

3. I brought returns back to a department, and on the way back up, I walked by infants. I hear this guy calling for his wife, and then he is screaming, "HEY! HEY! HEY YOU!" First of all, an excuse me would've done the trick. So I go over there, and this guy was just a total asshole. He starts by saying, "Do you know anything about these?" in a rude tone. I didn't know wha the was talking about, so I assumed anything in infants, and I said, "No." Then, "Well, can you get someone who DOES know what their doing?" I say, "Fine," and walk over to the fitting room and have them send someone over. Jeez people have some freakin' manners!

4. Another time when I brought back returns to a department, I was walking ,and this woman stops me. She needs help getting Xmas lights off the top shelf. This would be fine if we were in seasonal, but we were on the other side of the freakin' store! So, I ask her if she wants to come with me, and show me which ones she wants. Nope! She says, "They are the only green ones on the top shelf." So, I had to walk to the other side of the store, get her stupid lights, walk all the way back, and walk back to go where I was going originally. People are getting lazier by the minute. Pretty soon Target's will have a gigantic room with sofas and TVs where Lazies can sit, and they can send a Target TM with a camera attached to them to get their shopping done. Oh, and of course yell at them, when they learn Target TMs can't read their minds.

5. There was this woman who bought something, and it went on sale in the 2-day ad. So she got the adjustment on Saturday. Well, today she *shows me her receipt* and asks if she buys more of the same thing for the sale price. I say no obviously because you would have to buy it during those 2 days to get the sale price. She said, "Well they told me that if I had a receipt that showed I got it at this price, I could get more for that price within 14 days." Someone put their own stinky spin on our policy, and it wasn't a TM. So, I told her we couldn't and she seemed OK with it. She was just testing me to see if I was stupid enough to take the bait. C'mon now, give me some credit!

It was just an all around nasty guest day today.

Today Sucked!

Ah shit. Opening Guest Service really sucked. I bugged Maggie since 830 to get me the ad, so I could start working on it while it wasn't busy. But, no she forgot, and forgot, and forgot.

Ok first story: A guy comes up to GS, and ays there is an envelope with giftcards that he was supposed to pick up. So I searched where it would be, and it wasn't there. So I asked Maggie, and she never came over. So, I had Kelsey deal with it, and they didn't know what was going on, so we had him call his wife. And then after eceryone was up at GS, he said it was fucking paid and left. So I check the damn bin, and of course it was there. Then, Maggie bitched us out because we need to 'always stop calling her over there.' Ok, I see Krista gave you one of her plenty sticks to shove up your ass. What a bitch!

2nd: A woman comes up to GS, and she claims that what she bought at $8 was really $2.60. Riiight. So I ask toys, and they tell me that its $8 of course. So she starts arguing with me, and I just freaked on her and told her to go back to toys and discuss it with him. Later she comes back up, and returns what was the right price and bought something else. She still said it was mislabeled, and I just said whatever.

There was about 40 billion people that signed up for Target cards, and of course had to pay them off right after. They either handed me their receipt, or the temporary card. I need the Temp. card, but my computer doesn't tell me how much they owe. So when I ask how much they want to pay, everyone said, "All of it." Yeah, ok, but I can't read minds. Fucking retards.

Then there were these stupid Canadians that had a 10% off for Target.COM which can't be used at the store. Well they went on a rant about how they are Canadian, and they don't have a computer, and couldn't use it anyway. I told them they couldn't use it, and that they would have to just deal with it. But then Kelsey said they could use it just this once. Jesse bitched her out, and she later came back and apologized which was cool.

Pam was telling me about how Krista tried to get her fired, and then we all proceeded to shit-talk her. Tony said he like Krista, and we all pointed out that was because Krista always flirts with him, and he sucks up to her.

Well, that should be it for now. I don't work until Tuesday so it should be great up until that point.

Oh My Dear Lord!

Today 230-11 cashiering. Need I say more?

I was a breaker so it wasn't that bad. They had about 20 breakers today so it was easy to do nothing. It was actually fun meeting the newbies, and chatting it up with them. It was also good to talk with other friends that have been cashiering for a while.

It was a weird day. It was steady, yet busy. But we still got out right after 11, which is usually impossible for Black Friday. I guess we were just overstaffed, and it paid off. Now, that'll boost morale.

Wow. So many things to talk about today. Got up at 7 am to go shopping with my mom. Best Buy was crazy, it would've taken an hour just to wait in line. Then we went to Sears to get other gifts. Then we went home, but shortly after did some more errands. I am so tired because of all the things happening today. And I only got about a 5 minute nap in before work despite my best efforts.

While at work, I was tired and bored. For the first half of my shift, there were way too many breakers so I didn't get to do much. Then, I really had to step it up.

I saw Laura today. She said she'll be back for Christmas to work. It was so nice seeing her, and I don't know why. Actually I think I do...hehe! It'll be nice having her back in town.

Well, I get to open GS tomorrow. Oh boy! Well, at least I'll get to leave early, and not close. I think tomorrow will be busier than today.

Rude Guests: Not a big thing, just stupid Canadians. One made ME go get another dish towel. What the fuck!? Are your legs broken!? Oh, and of course, there was no thank you.

Higher Ups: Bitchy, bitchy, bitchy. I seriously got asked 12 times if I got any cards today, and nope of course I didn't. Lucy said, "Oh that's too bad." Yeah, ok bitch. Then, Sharon asked me and I said, "My name is ______, of course I didn't get any cards." Sharon said I was steady at getting cards, yet they always seem so disappointed in me. Haha, oh well. Then later Sharon and Krista came out of the GSTL office laughing, and so I say, "Are you making fun of me...........AGAIN?" They didn't say anything, but I heard Krista tell Sharon what I said. Oh well, who cares?

Co-workers: Ooph! Everyone was a blast! Scott told me he couldn't get over my comment when he said he was going to bring in a gun (he was kidding of course) and shoot people, and he told me he'd take me out first. I said, "You'd get a great team card for that!" He found that so funny, and still laughs at it to this day. That's fun. I think I provided comic relief today, which is fun. I'm like the smart-ass class clown of Target. But the thing I kept saying over and over was "I'm so tired." Because I am.

With that, I hope y'all have a great weekend, and I'll be on tomorrow bitching about Saturday. It's gonna be totally nuts.

And I'm out, and off to bed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all! Just wanted to keep you updated on what's been happening.

Yesterday was so slow again. It's not going to be like this for a long time now. Gross.

Sharon came up to GS and said, "I don't have you on my cashier report for last week. (I didn't cashier last week, thank god.) We'll have to change that." And, knowing me, I say, "No we won't." I am not gonna get pushed outta GS, and if they do, I WILL quit, no ifs, ands, or buts.

They are also having 2 MORE people up in GS. Christa and Tracy. Both are relatively new. Why don't they put someone up there that knows what they are doing when they cashier? Oh yeah, that would be too easy!

Tracy is brand spanking new. She transferred from a Mervyn's, so they assume she can do everything at Target. Riiiight. For some reason, it seems like she will be a bitch.

Well, I better get going. If anything I'll be on later tonight, or tomorrow night after THE DAY OF HELL. Why do hoards of stupid fucks have to bombard the store day after Thanksgiving? Ah shit, its gonna suck major ass. I am going to be so damn pissy, and I will snap on rude people.

I'm thankful for not working today. Haha! Have a good Thanksgiving!

P.S. Is it just me or did I use a shit load of commas today?

So Slow!

Yesterday went by so god damn slow! At 5 it already felt like it was 9, so it sucked major ass. Once again, I don't remember any guests that I had, either because I'm overworked, or there were no major assholes. Yesterday was the first day Amber was at GS, so it was pretty much me on 2 tills at the same time. I had to listen in on what she was doing to make sure she was doing things correctly. We started closing at 11pm yesterday also. That's gonna suck! That'll go thru the day after Christmas.

I am going to be so fuckin' pissy on Friday because I close CASHIERING. Fuck it to hell! I seriously hate that place!

The B-Squad was up and running today, clueless as usual. I swear they have got to be the dumbest fucks in the world. You would think something would take to their thick chimpanzee skulls, but no.

As everyone probably knows by now, the Salvation Army was banned from solicting on Target's property because Target has a NO SOLICITATION policy, and had made an exception for the SA. But after numerous complaints from other worthy causes, Target has just decided to ban everyone. The SA is making the biggest deal out of this, and many are swearing to never shop at Target again. (We should be so lucky.) Because of the way the SA is handling this, I personally will NOT donate to the SA this year. They don't deserve it. Why give them more money to make people angry at Target for no good reason? And it's not like Target doesn't help the community, Target gives over $100 million a year to local schools and charities across the nation. I heard they even made a $5 million contribution to the SA to help offset the difference. But does anyone ever hear about that? NO! I'm sick of the SA CONSTANTLY bringing this topic up. Set up elsewhere, if people really want to donate, they can find another bell ringer or simply mail in a check. Fuck the SA, they won't be getting shit from me this year! They need to grow the fuck up!

Well, my rant is done for now. Just wait to see what I have to say after the fiasco that is Friday, November 26. It'll be a miracle if I'm still employed by the end of the day.

SHIT!

Holy Shit! Yesterday sucked, and so did today. It was SO FUCKING BUSY today. I don't remember having any really bad guests, only that there was so many people. Yuck!

Tomorrow we start closing at 11pm until the day after Christmas. AAAUGH! The only time I close (for the time being) is day after Thanksgiving. Only to open the next day. Grr...

I figured out that I don't close with Melissa the day before Thanksgiving. The just scheduled me until 10 and I thought we started closing at 11 starting the day AFTER Thanksgiving, but no, it starts tomorrow.

This will probably give me away, but I won a $15 giftcard today. Woo Hoo! All because I made a Canadian sign up. She wanted me to issue her a temporary card, but since we can't do that I told her she could sign up again, and we could see if she got upgraded. Krista looked pissed when she found out I won it. Haha! Bitch!

The B-Squad was working again today. I had to show them both how to do something. Both of them put together have the brain power of a large boulder, which isn't saying much.

I can't think of anything else to say. I totally blocked out what happened to me both yesterday and today. Oh well, it'll come to me eventually.

Not bad!

Wow, it was completely dead tonight. We'll be hoping for nights like that come the next month. Got out at 10:20 pm, we should've got out right at 10, but Kim had us the the overnight pulls for Toys. So we did their job. Everyone was bitching.

We had way too many employees at the service desk today. But Sara was working, and of course it was good times. We made fun of Canadians, and Karen and Renae. We nicknamed them the B-Squad because they are idiots. There was this guy who came up to GS, and he wanted us to post some sort of sign up. Well we don't do that, but the guy just kept bugging us, so Sara said she would put it up on our Team Member Board. Then the guy wanted to put up a cardboard dropbox. Sara said no, and the guy left. Then it got sorta busy, but about a half hour later, she takes the sheet, and says, "And now it's time the shred this." And she shred it. I damn near shat myself I was laughing so hard. She also put a fake bird on her and kept petting it. I couldn't stop laughing.

Renae is so dumb. She is telling guests that when they are approved for a Target Visa, they have a whole month to use their 10% discount. NO NO NO! It is good for only one day of shopping, but it has to be used one day within a month. I can only imagine the trouble that beast has caused.

My time off for Dec 22 - 24 was APPROVED! I was surprised. I turned it in not too long ago, but it will be my paid vacation! Getting paid to do jack squat! Woo Hoo! I don't even need the 22nd off, I was just going to use the 22nd as a barter to get the other days off. HaHa! Oh well! Less work for me.

Tomorrow is 3-close in GS, and also PAY DAY! 'Give me my money. Give me my money.'

Well, I hope tomorrow goes decently. I'll keep ya informed!

Fuck Fuck Fuck

I work today at 5 until close. God damn it! I also close tomorrow, even MORE fun! I had 3 days off IN A ROW! A new record for me. It honestly felt like a week off. So nice! I'm sure I'll be back on here tomorrow bitching about today, and tomorrow. I can't really think of anything else to say...

See y'all later!

THE AD!

I just realized something. I close the day before Thanksgiving with Melissa in Guest Service. We have to put up the HUGE ad for the day after Thanksgiving. I heard that last year, it took the person until midnight to put both up. Everyone in the store left before she was finished. The ad won't even fit in the display case. We will have to tape it on the wall, and from what I remember last year, it will be down to the ground. And then I fucking close the day after Thanksgiving cashiering. What the fuck!? Melissa doesn't cashier anymore and she was put up in GS AFTER I was!

As I said before, I signed up for the day after Christmas. I put 12-8:30 SERVICE DESK on the sheet. If they have me cashier that day, I'm not going in. Maggie promised me that I would be up there because it will be SO busy. I might just quit if that promise gets broken. I'm sick of being lied to, and treated like shit. I've been standing up for myself lately, and that's where my so-called 'bad attitude' comes from. They only hate me because they thought they could get away with it, but the tables have turned. My new thing is to treat people the way they treat me.

And for the people that treat me like shit, all I can say is WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

Karma is indeed a bitch.

Yuck!

Things aren't going good.

Today was just a BLAH kind of day. Nothing too fun. I really just wanted to leave. I was pretty much ignored by Pam and Tony the whole day. I worked while they talked each other's ears off. And then, they were talking about me when I was right behind them. I didn't hear exactly what they said, but all I heard was, "He's a nice guy." from Tony. Which makes me think that Pam was talking negatively about me. Oh well, she never really has liked me, just put up with me.

Tony got 2 cards today, and so every head cashier was so god damn proud, and rubbing it in my face. I've only gotten 2 this month so far, and Maggie said, "Oh it looks like you cooling down." Yeah, thanks. REAL helpful.

I just don't feel respected there. It seems like everything I have to say is brushed over or ignored. I don't have any real friends up there much less the rest of the store. I'm just me, and I work there. Never get invited anywhere or anything. It also seems like I'm a doormat for others. Other people don't want to do it, they make me do it. They scheduled me closing the day after Thanksgiving for Godsakes, only to open the next day. That is brutal. Sharon said I have to leave by midnight. There has to be at least 8 hours in between your shifts. Well, the thing is if I leave at midnight, I wouldn't get home and in bed until 12:15, and then I'd have to wake up at 6:30 to get ready. I need a half hour just to wake up. So, the most sleep I'll get that night is 6 hours and 15 minutes. Yuck. I need my sleep, and I need a lot of it.

Work is so stressful nowadays. With overworking myself in school and work, something's gotta give. School is way more important, but I like the people at work too. But, usually I'm not liked back. At least that's the way it feels now. All I ask is to be respected, but I'm not. The head cashiers, Lucy, and other TMs don't respect me. I want to be a part of the team, but I've done everything possible. I don't want to wait for the day when they are ready to let me be a part of the team, I've been there 2 years now. I should've been a 'team member' a long time ago.

I'm always the last picked too, for good things anyways. When Krista called the service desk, and I answered, I heard her hesitating whether or not to let me give her a break. She knew I would have gone apeshit if she didn't pick me. That's why it doesn't feel like she picked me because she didn't want to.

I turned in my time off for Christmas Eve and a few days prior. I hope to at least get Xmas Eve off. I really don't want to be there during the holidays. Everyone's so happy and I'm so miserable. I'm expecting them to deny it, so I'll have yet another sad Christmas. Things aren't the same, and it sucks because the never will be.

Well, I suppose I better go. See y'all later.
I know it's a departure from my usual posts, but things will get better...I hope.

I don't work until Thursday, so hopefully things will settle down.

I had a SHITTY day! (Literally)

Holy Shit! Today sucked!

I openend in Guest Service, and it wasn't bad until Sharon made me go clean the bathroom. Usually they mean to push the button in there, so that our automated system will shut off. Nope. Some fucker complained about there being piss all over the floor, so Sharon sent me back in. yes, indeed there was piss all over the fucking floor, and to match that, it was from an overflowing toilet with shit in it. There was even some small chunks on the floor. So, after damn near barfing 10 billion times, I begin to mop it up. Jesus fucking Christ, there was the 8th sea. After I got most of the piss off the floor, I got a plunger. Gross. There is something wrong with the toilet because it wasn't working very well. So after plunger the thing for 5 minutes straight, I put the plunger away, and I thought the toilet would work. WRONG! When I put away the plunger, someone went in that stall and shit again. And again it got clogged. As I was waiting for the guy to get out of that stall, this old man came in and yelled, "Mop up this water! Do you want me to fall and break my hip!?" I didn't reply because I would've got myself fired. The thing is there was no puddle, it was still semi-wet because of the mop. And I can't use the mop to dry it when the mop is wet. I was about to say, "I'm doing the best I can." or "I'll break your fuckin' hip if you keep that attitude up." So anyways, I pretended to 'get all the water' and it looked exactly like it did before I mopped again, and this time it was OK. What a fuckface. Anyway, back to the once again clogged toilet. I again got the plunger and plunged for another 5 minutes until it looked presentable. Then I got the CLOSED sign and put it in that stall. And then I left. I'm not a fuckin cart attendant, why should I hae to do it? And then I told Sharon that I was NOT going to be doing that again. I don't care if I get fired, I am not doing that again. So then I finally took my lunch, and I really didn't feel like eating after I saw all that shit. But, I knew I had too or else my stomach would kill me. So, when I'm walking to the breakroom, someone else was in there mopping because someone IGNORED the sign that was sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOILET, and clogged the fucker AGAIN. So, they finally put an out of order sign on the toilet, and I didn't hear about any other occurances...yet. Now, it seems like I smell like the bathroom, but it's just haunting me.

Guess what kids? If you've been reading my posts you would know that I would go apeshit if they scheduled me for closing on the day after Thanksgiving. And guess what? THEY DID! 2:30-11 CASHIERING! I am about to blow my brains out. Everyone else in GS is going to be up there except for me, Heidi, Kari, and the head cashiers. ...Great! And I open the next day, so I have to leave by midnight. So, even less sleep for me. The nextday I get to sleep in is Thanksgiving.

There is going to be a new girl getting shifts up at Guest Service, and apparently she transferred from another store. Jesse said she didn't know what she was doing, so that's good news. Yet, another person to take my GS shifts.

It was SO FUCKING BUSY, and that's an understatement! our parking lot was full, and it took me 5 minutes to get out of there. Damn Canadians! Stay in your own god-damn country!

I need some liquor and I need it quick.

See ya, and watch out for bitter employees like myself. We're dangerous!

Black Thursday

FUCK! Let me just say that up front.

Yesterday was SO FUCKIN busy because of all of the dumb as shit Canadians and their worthless money. It honestly looked like the day after Thanksgiving, and that's not cool. I was at the service desk and was asked literally a billion times if we exchanged money there. We never have, and hopefully never will. But, that didn't stop them from asking. I had a few people ask me in a bitchy tone and when I said no they said, "When did that start?" I said, "We never have." Christ, if you're going to ask 'when did that start' maybe you should at least familiarize yourself with the fuckin store instead of assuming shit.

Then we had a bum-rush at the service desk with fuckers (Canadians) that didn't have their receipt. So I explain the no receipt return policy, and the first thing that always came out of their mouths was, "But I'm from Canada, and don't get down here often." HOW IS THAT TARGET'S FAULT!? If you want to exchange/return it, get your ass down here within the time frame like all the other people with brains. I could talk forever about the stupid 'but I'm from Canada' bit, but that would just ruin the rest of my day. And we even had Canadians that said before we did anything that their receipt was expired, yet STILL got mad at us because we couldn't do anything.

Then there was this asshole who wanted to return a defective portable DVD player. He had a 'no receipt return receipt' which souunds confusing, but isn't. He had already returned one before that without a receipt, and was using that receipt to retrun this one. Fine. So, I am doing his return, and he says he just wants his money back. Well, technically we are supposed to make him go back, and exchange it for something in the same department that is equal or greater value. So I call a manager and Kelsey came up and said just to give it back to him on the giftcard (aka the only option available.) But, he wanted cash AND what he orginally paid for it. He said he bought it for 219.99, and without a receipt it gives the lowest price in the last 90 days which was 199.99. I told him that we could NOT change the price, and that he agreed to the lower price when he completed the no receipt return. He just started spouting off, and demeaning Kelsey saying basically that she had no power in the store, and didn't know what she was doing. He kept asking for the store manager, and she said she was the manager on duty. He kept asking if there was anyone above her at the store, to which she replied no. She eventually got fed up with him, gave him the giftcard, and told him to leave.

So, it was quite the day. I pushed back-up, and no one came, so I pushed it again. No one came. So, I got on the walkie and yelled, "I NEED HELP AT THE SERVICE DESK!!!" Then someone finally came up. Damn people, I'm not pushing the button for my health!

I don't work today, but I open GS tomorrow. Oh joy! I'm going to get my schedule for today, and it'll be for the day after Thanksgiving. God help everyone near me if I close. I will go absolutely apeshit. Let that be a warning. Haha! No, but seriously.

Oh Yeah!

Got my schedule today...no cashier shifts next week! WOO HOO! But I close Thursday and Friday. Oh well, at least I'm not alone. Yep, they are starting to have multiple closers on Thursday and Friday night believe it or not.

Today, there was this old hag that came up to GS and she wanted to pay on her MARSHALL FIELD'S card! We haven't done that since July 31, '04. Well, she had to be a bitch about it and said, "Well, where AM I supposed to pay it!?" and I said, "Marshall Field's." and she said, "That's stupid and inconvenient." Oh well, ya dumb bitch, it's been like that for over 4 months now!

I actually had a really nice person today that wanted to sign up for a Target Visa. I explained everything to her, and told her all about the benefits of the card. She asked for my name, so I hope she tells someone I was being friendly. Then Lucy could suck my fat one.

I also helped this Amish-like person with the kiosk. She wanted me to do it because she has never done anything with a computer before. Yeah, it was weird. It was almost like she would not touch the thing if her life depended on it.

Days are getting better! Hopefully it stays like this for a while. I could get used to this.

Peace Out!

A Good Day? Where'd That Come From?

Wow! Sunday was actually a good day.

Highlights:
-Got to give Krista a break! (2 yrs in the making)
-Got to leave early (scheduled outside of my availability)
-Everyone was being so fun

Bad things:
-Guy came back, but with no cops

Oh wow, that guy. Well, Scott OKed it and he got his way, but he just had to insult us before he left. What a douche! He wanted to return a radar detector that WASN'T on his receipt. He said that was his 4th time trying it. Oh god! He was just a complete asshole.

Damn, I dunno what else to say. Well, our schedules should be posted today, although they should have been there on Thursday. Laura must've spilled her mega potpie on the keyboard.

Alright

Today went surprisingly well. I didn't have any rude guests, and I was next to some fun people. the only bad part was when I was standing by the pop machine and Karen yelled at me to step out even more, 'they can't see you' and SMILE! I rolled my eyes at her and didn't answer her. What a cunt. Heidi said something funny yet true. 'Life sucks, then it gets worse, and then you wear red and khaki.' How very true!

Well, 230-close tomorrow cashiering. Maybe it will be like today, but probably not.

GRR!

God damn, yet another shit-filled day at work.

There was this older couple that came in and wanted to return a griddle thing. The receipt was expired, and the item was not on file, so I told them there was nothing we could do at the store level. They pissed and moaned saying that the girl they purchased thru said they could return it with a receipt. I told them within the 90 days you can. Anywho, who the fuck buys something that they don't use and return it more than 3 months down the line!? That's right no one, at least not on my watch. ;-)

It was another shitty day full of JOY TO THE WORLD and Sharon. Of course Melissa got picked to give her a break because I'm 'not ready.' That pisses me off to the max because everyone else that is in GS gives hc's a break, but not me. And I'm not even the newest person up there. Both Tony and Melissa were trained up there AFTER me! I was so close to quitting. And then, the team trainers were there and Vernice is one. WTF!!? That makes NO sense. So essentially, they passed over me and a whole hell of a lot of other people for some retard that hasn't even been there 90 days. Hopefully, I'll get to buddy train today, but I won't get my hopes up. I'm beginning to feel underappreciated. No one values my contribution to the team. I've been there for 2 torture-filled years there, and they need to show me respect. Fuck'em all!

Day 3 of 6, here I come! Oh joy!

Someone shoot me.

Ah Shit!

Well, today I'll be working my second day in a 6 day streak. Augh! I think I'm going to die! i was in GS yesterday, and it was OK. Time went by fast for it being so slow, which was good.

As soon as I got there, Sharon calls GS and Kari answers. Kari told me that Sharon said I have to give lane 30 a break. Ok... So I go to the candy closet to cross it off, and I look at the breakers and Jerianne is one and she's doing fuckin abandoned! Why can't she do it!? So, I was pissed of course and just concentrated on getting done with the break. So I get back to GS, and Sharon comes over and says, "Oh, thanks for showing a good attitude and smiling while giving that break." I say, "Obviously you weren't watching me." And she said in a bitchy tone, "I was being sarcastic. I thought someone talked to you recently about needing to smile while you are cashiering." I say, "Nope." And she said, "So you're saying I was lied to?" I say, "I guess so." Sharon is becoming a bitch again. Yeah, Maggie mentioned it when I had my review, but what business is that of hers. Why did I have to do lane 30? There was another break on lane 6 at the same god damn time! Fuck her! If she is gonna bring out the 'tude, guess what? So am I, tenfold. my attitude is gonna be what gets me fired, but they don't show me respect, so why should I show them any? Fuck them all, I really don't give a rat's ass! If they fire me, there are PLENTY of places who will take me because of my experience with the hellhole. Day fuckin 2 in a string of 6, and I already want to quit. Now I have nothing to look forward to because I already got my review.

Also, they put up new SINGING signing up by the doors. Oh my fucking god! It's SO annoying! I hope to god the batteries ran out because I can't take that day in and day out. All I hear every so often (too often) is JOY TO THE WORLD, ALL AROUND THE WORLD... My fuckin god, I am going to go crazy.

Well, I work today. I hope to god Krista isn't working.

And more great news, Kerry lost. I was being sarcastic. I don't think I can handle W for 4 more years. Let's see if he can fuck over the country even more.
