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.

Tuesday, December 21, 2004

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!

Monday, December 20, 2004

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.

Sunday, December 12, 2004

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!

Saturday, December 11, 2004

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...

Wednesday, December 08, 2004

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!

Thursday, December 02, 2004

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!

Tuesday, November 30, 2004

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.

Saturday, November 27, 2004

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.

Friday, November 26, 2004

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.

Thursday, November 25, 2004

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.
