So tonight I’m at work in Target, closing up the Starbucks in the front, when two guys pulled up their car and idle in front of the window. One of the guys pulled out his phone and leans it out of the window.

Problem is, I can tell if they’re creeping and taking pictures of me… or using the PokeStop outside of Target…

I feel like some strange combination of those street corner preachers screaming, “THE END IS NIGH, REPENT YOUR SINS” and the grizzled war vet heading for their third tour of duty, but I have literally spent the past three days at Target trying to convince our Team Leads that we are not ready for Black Friday.

We literally have ONE PERSON scheduled from 12:15 to 3:30pm on Friday.  She’s ALONE at Starbucks for over three hours.  We have another girl alone from 12:30 to 2am during the BOGO free holiday drink special.  Half of our trained staff isn’t even working in Starbucks, they’re cashiering.  For the entirety of Friday we’ll never have more than two people in Starbucks when in past years we’ve had at least three people.

I went to HR and asked about that because it just didn’t seem right and she just coolly told me that this has been approved by our LOD and DM so there’s nothing we can do about it.  Okay, so do they WANT the highest selling location to be run by one person for over three hours on Black Friday?  We literally had more coverage yesterday, a normal Friday, than we will on Black Friday.  Something is messed up there and I don’t feel as if I can trust our Team Lead to make it right.  We’ve had this schedule for a week now and she didn’t notice these huge problems that I found after ONE CHECK of the schedule.  It honestly feels like sabotage at this point.

Work today. 8) 8) 8) 8)

When someone hates you so much they take it out on the pastries then run out of the building. Like she just wasted over $50 worth of food then left me to clean it up. If the Lord is merciful then the camera caught it all. Best part is my next four shifts are with her!!

Cutest #Target guest of the day, Bentley the service dog! 😍

Me, at the end of my shift, to the tune of “Let it Go”

I’M HEADING OUT THE DOOR

I JUST WANNA MAAAAKE

IIIIT TOOO PAAAAY DAAAAAY

The pay isn’t worth it anyway.

Target opens at 6pm Thanksgiving Day this year for Black Friday

That horrible sound you heard was my soul shattering.

Today at work the freezers read 187 degrees.

It was Hell’s freezer.

We hit our $2 billion savings mark at work, so we got these adorable little REDcard chocolate bars! Thank you, #Target!

Today I had a guest ask if we had anymore vanilla sweetened milk boxes for his baby and I honest to God lied and said no, because it was because I didn’t want that much sugar in that baby.

So instead I just filled up the baby’s bottle with regular milk for free.

I can’t bring myself to be a part of the diabetes epidemic in children lately, it’s so heartbreaking. I will honestly be fired before I let one more parent put a grande caramel frappuccino–extra caramel!– in their 16 month old. Not from my hands, no sir.
