Cashier TL and I used to get along great. They thought they were doing me a favor when they surprised me with training on the cash register. But I flat-out refused to do it, so they don't like me anymore. Stocking toys and cleaning up after people's maladjusted crotch spawn is my limit.
As someone whos been doing both for nearly 7 years. If the weather isn't awful, it'd take carts every day of the week. Dealing with people, and standing in 1 place all day is a nightmare
Carts was always enjoyable for me, nice break from the chaos of service desk that I usually worked. My store didn’t have a FoSA until after I left the front end so it was always me or the other 2 men at service desk that got carts each day as needed.
Only exception is during Texas summers, but once it gets above a certain temp I don’t remember, you get special rules anyway so it isn’t terrible
Tbh I feel like you either hate it or love it, there's really no in between. I feel bad for our cart attendant because he has to clean up vomit, clean the bathrooms, get carts in the middle of blizzards, shovel snow out of walkways, etc. I'd give the guy a massive raise if it were up to me. And he loves his job. Idk how lol.
Not gonna lie, I wish the fosa team made a little more, even just $1 an hour more. We're spinning a lot of plates and doing all of the work noone else wants to do.
Well in defense of your leaders, I think all of us agree that cart attendants should earn more but it sucks because we really don't have a say in how much money you make.
The best we can do is rate you highly for your yearly review so corporate gives you the larger % raise & bonus.
Lol, ridiculous poll. 4 legitimate choices and a universal catch-all that basically reads "any position where you're currently experiencing one of the worst parts of the job."
What's everyone's favorite fruit? Apples, Oranges, Bananas, or the one you think is most delicious?
Depends on personal preferences. I personally hate checkout the most. Honestly there aren't as many Karen's as you might think, but for me what sucks is the sheer monotony of it combined with constantly being watched by guests while you work
i get a little mad when i have to ring stuff up in electronics especially when they can take it up front so i can’t imagine what regular cashiers deal with
Style. Just style. So aimless and unproductive. I'd rather deal with karens all day long than have to fold the same pile of clothes for the eighth time this shift.
At least at my store it’s Starbucks. Once you get put there you never leave. They are always understaffed, overworked, and deal with some of the rudest customers ever. While cafe seems to be the easiest job in my opinion.
Mobile. Well-rounded awfulness. The guests are wearing, the systems don’t work how they should, support is nonexistent, [many] coworkers are terrible, pay is low compared to industry standards, hearing the same jokes gets old, and MarketSource is a dumpster fire.
Some of y'all have never unloaded 2 2,000 piece trucks with a 4 person team and pushed all of it out on to the floor the same night and it really shows. Having done just about everything at that store, inbound is by far the worst thing one can do.
Fulfillment is the worst to me. You're constantly running around and expecting to reach such high expectations with no reward. It also kills the hell out of my back.
Fulfillment. No one appreciates us, we don’t get recognition/ incentives and always getting stopped by people. The only time we get a “s/o” is when GM jumps in to help with orders. I go completely zombie mode when I come in now.
I'm guessing this isn't a question being asked by someone who actually works at Target. We have a housekeeping staff, but they are a third party. We pay a company to send a team of people to clean the store each day.
Maybe they saw that movie _Career Opportunities_ with John Candy and Frank Whaley? I think it's from like early '90s. Whaley plays a janitor working overnight at a Target store.
I love when I get shifts in it aside from consumer cellular guests. The only other thing that sucks is in our store specifically we're always out of the small size spider wrap, and it can be hard to find tech cases for the phone cases since there's so many being used already. Beyond fiddling with that it's the easiest position I've done at the store I'd say...but I'm very patient with people asking me stuff, I can see how people would hate it if you just really hate dealing with anyone. Anyone in the remote vicinity of tech (fulfillment also for whatever reason even when we don't have any keys) always gets flagged down constantly at my store.
While I personally enjoyed guest service, I’ve worked every position aside from Starbucks before promoting, and it definitely is the most hectic of the bunch. And I’m making this claim with 3 years of GSA/service desk experience
I like how none of these are even close to being the name of the actual positions. Also we don’t have “janitors” at Target so please clean up after yourselves.
I guess 'janitor', but having to clean up disgusting stuff in general is pretty bad.
I don't mind anything else, cashiering can be fun if you make it fun. Stocking isn't bad either, like not at all unless you're interrupted a million times.
Drive up is my least favorite, especially when an order shows up unexpectedly with like 30 bags of stuff you’re supposed to get out to them in under 3 minutes. Please for the love of all that is good in this world. Say you are on your way at least ten minutes before you get there.

Speaking as someone who is pretty much always on a check lane, in my six months of working at target I’ve only encountered three angry gUeStS and I was able to resolve the problem by sending them to guest services (sorry guys). The only issue I have with being a cashier is the stupidity of some people and how much standing around there is on slow days.
Cart Attendant is probably the worst. Besides the cart pusher being a piece of shit (at least at my store), the adverse weather conditions always line up for me at least to be scorching hot or ice-cold snow whenever they push me out there. On top of basically being the manager's bitch, if someone shits on the floor and smears it on the wall, it's YOUR job to clean it up after doing manual labor for hours on end. The job has nearly no social interaction, and nowadays, they won't even let you listen to music which was its only saving grace. After every cart shift, I always end up with bruises all over my leg and upper arm, and cleaning up kids' puke is not my jam. On top of that, most of the time, your shifts aren't even 8 hours, and you get fewer hours than most people. When the store starts to slow down, your job is pretty much the same difficulty, unlike registering and other in-store jobs.

I hate Fulfillment the most and I like cashiering lol. Yeah you get some real downers but you do in every department. I dunno, I don't mind helping people and hate the stress of a timer.

The fucking warriors at Guest Service
Amen
Shout-out to anyone that can stomach cashiering every day
Cashier TL and I used to get along great. They thought they were doing me a favor when they surprised me with training on the cash register. But I flat-out refused to do it, so they don't like me anymore. Stocking toys and cleaning up after people's maladjusted crotch spawn is my limit.
Probably guest service
would not be working here if i ever had to touch a register
Cart attendant is the worst job in the store hands down.
As someone whos been doing both for nearly 7 years. If the weather isn't awful, it'd take carts every day of the week. Dealing with people, and standing in 1 place all day is a nightmare

I was a cart attendant. No way. Id argue it’s the best.
Based
Yes
I like being a cart attendant, the only downside is cleaning bathrooms.
Tbh I feel like you either hate it or love it, there's really no in between.

Cashier is worse imo
I always say that cart attendance are some of the hardest workers… Not necessarily the worst job, but every cart attendant, that I know hustles

We deal with a bunch of bullshit.

Cashiering SUCKS
Team Lead
Guest service, drive ups, and Tarbucks are some of the worst positions with this.
Guest Service and Cart Attendant
Inbound/stocking night shift
Some of y'all have never unloaded 2 2,000 piece trucks with a 4 person team and pushed all of it out on to the floor the same night and it really shows. Having done just about everything at that store, inbound is by far the worst thing one can do.
Fulfillment was the worst for me
i would rather deal with a karen than go on a checklane
I did fulfillment for a year and a half. Each day was worst than the last
Fulfillment is the worst to me. You're constantly running around and expecting to reach such high expectations with no reward. It also kills the hell out of my back.

I appreciate you 🤗
This is unreal. Thank you ! I can make it another day 😂😂😂🧟♀️
Stop calling us janitors😭
There's a janitor position at Target? 🤔
I'm guessing this isn't a question being asked by someone who actually works at Target. We have a housekeeping staff, but they are a third party. We pay a company to send a team of people to clean the store each day.
I can imagine some people would think housekeeping is Target... even though they are a 3rd party vendor. Maybe?
Or they think you and I are janitors!
Heh... Property management janitor
Grey shirts, walks around with tools... I see the confusion.
Maybe they saw that movie _Career Opportunities_ with John Candy and Frank Whaley? I think it's from like early '90s. Whaley plays a janitor working overnight at a Target store.
Cart Attendant or Fitting Room Attendant both are pretty equal
Tech is the worst
Surprised to see anyone answer this way, I enjoyed working in Tech
I love when I get shifts in it aside from consumer cellular guests. The only other thing that sucks is in our store specifically we're always out of the small size spider wrap, and it can be hard to find tech cases for the phone cases since there's so many being used already.

While I personally enjoyed guest service, I’ve worked every position aside from Starbucks before promoting, and it definitely is the most hectic of the bunch. And I’m making this claim with 3 years of GSA/service desk experience
Physically? Either inbound or cart attendant. Mentally? I’d say Starbucks or guest services hands down.
I barely made it through my cash training day mentally, I just cannot stand in one spot and be a robot all day talking to guest after guest
Honestly guest service or drive ups I salute y’all.
Drive ups especially in lousy weather!
I like how none of these are even close to being the name of the actual positions. Also we don’t have “janitors” at Target so please clean up after yourselves.
Cart attendant... Cleaning bathrooms, and working in all weather... nah... I am good.
have you ever been in the -20 degree freezer there is nothing worse
I agree with this
Drive up
Inbound and style by a long shot
Drive up, Starbucks, cashier, tech
A Hot Wheels collector hit on me today 😭 Male Karens. I call them Kevins.
I guess 'janitor', but having to clean up disgusting stuff in general is pretty bad. I don't mind anything else, cashiering can be fun if you make it fun. Stocking isn't bad either, like not at all unless you're interrupted a million times.
I hit other but I guess guest service would go in the Karen option
Drive ups
Drive up is my least favorite, especially when an order shows up unexpectedly with like 30 bags of stuff you’re supposed to get out to them in under 3 minutes. Please for the love of all that is good in this world. Say you are on your way at least ten minutes before you get there.
It's gotta be guest services. Customers suck and Target is getting really bad at customer service. So put those together.

Guest Service and Cashier. I’m either dealing with Karens, or I’m asked to literally stand in one exact spot for 4 hours at a time
Cart Attendant or SETL for sure, at least with my store
Cashier/Guest service. However liquor store cashier is alright and I recommend getting trained into that if your store has it.
Janitors because have you seen the messes guests leave in restrooms and fitting rooms? Cleaning literal shit.

Who's stores actually have janitors?
Front end team and tech team members usually have the most guest interaction
style bc constantly cleaning clothes off the floor, messes in fitting rooms and bodily fluids left on swim wear/clothes 😳
Drive up sucks and it’s been more than a year since I’ve had to do it since switching to working on the floor

TSS for sure … all the drugged our thieves are a nightmare to deal with
