So I work at Target, and I had to help this woman carry 20 large bags of cat food into her car. When I asked her how many cats she had, she responded with:

“The first 25 have names, and the rest just come and go.”

And then she proceeded to tell me:

“You are such a nice young man. You would make a good cat.”

Cat ladies are fucking awesome

What if she’s a witch and takes you and turns you into a cat and she’s been trying to find more people to turn into cats and that’s why she has so many?

We have a lady that comes in and buys a lot of cat food too, but she donates it to the animal shelter. But she only buys them when you can get gift cards. And she's kind of impatient over the phone...

This reminds me of the time I said hello to a guest, he was about 70+ years old, and I asked him how he was. He told me "I'm fine but I'm sorry, I'm married."

Ugh. So my store puts out and sells a super high volume of clothes during the summer time, since we’re a seasonal area. And since we have literally SO MUCH, we cannot give out hangers. During the winter, when we don’t sell much, we’re allowed to give customers the clear hangers but even then the limit is two. During the summer, we’re not allowed to give ANY hangers, what so ever.

And people (little old ladies in particular) get so annoyed and pissed about it, my god. Sometimes they say “Can I have the hangers?” but more often they say “Oh, and I need all the hangers.” and of course I have to politely tell them that, no, they cannot have any hangers at this time. Ugh, and they are always like “Why not?!” or “I’m ALWAYS given the hangers in Florida!” or “But I just got some the other day!”.

I had a lady (after getting snippy being denied hangers) tell me that someone had given her some hangers this morning and I bluntly said to her “Well who ever did that was not supposed to.”

Also side note, I REALLY hate the old ladies who say “That’s how it’s down in my store in Florida” like, LADY PLEASE. The rules for the stores in our chain in Florida are WAAAAY different then the ones up in the NY/NJ/PA area, trust me.

I have never been more mad at a piece of tech in my entire life. 90% of the time they don’t scan, which means manually typing stuff in. 90% of the items you type in, the system will not recognize, or give you something completely different (for ex: I tried typing in Lego Minifigures, and instead got over 100 results for beach towels). You end up having to go to our website, type in the item and they take the DPCI (a nine digit number) from there and type it back in our other search system. You have to keep rebooting the damn things and they constantly log you out. The only plus side we’ve found with the device is that it updates our counts a lot faster, within a few hours, not a day late.

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES! They didn't think things through before they let them roll out. So many tests they should have done before hand that way when we actually got them in our hands, they would have WORKED!

Blue Vest employee here. Not just at my store. Seems to be that people leave their carts everywhere. Like in front of the exit

Or leave them in front of my till

Or Leave them blocking the courtesy desk

Or Dont park their motor carts, leaving them dead for us to park.

I could go on.

When customers ask how I’m doing I generally reply with “can’t complain” because they think I’m doing alright but literally I can’t complain I’ll get fired

I do not work at Wal-Mart, I work at one of its major competitors (a large red ring with a small red circle in it), but this is NOT OKAY EVER TO DO AT ANY STORE YOU VISIT THAT SELLS NAIL POLISH AND/OR MAKE UP IN GENERAL!!

If you do this in MY cosmetics aisle that I work so hard to maintain, I WILL hunt you down and make you clean it up ALL THE NAIL POLISH! This goes for foundation as well! Don’t smear it all over the shelving fixtures!

Seriously people, don’t be an ass hole and do this. If you wanna see what the color looks like, test it out on your nail, not the shelving fixture. Painting it on your nail will give you a WAY better idea of what the nail polish is going to look like on your actual nail!

You don’t realize how hard it is to clean them up. A lot of the time (all of the time really), the nail polish eats away at the plastic and to my horror, a lot of foundations do as well. When that happens, I have to replace the entire fixture.

If I’m lucky, I’ll only have to replace the clear film, but even that doesn’t cover the entire front of the shelving. And people are sloppy.

Be respectful! Most of you have no idea what its like to work in big retail chains and what it takes to keep things looking nice and clean.

So I am the Cosmetics Team Brand Member now. I get to clean up fucking make up that people just feel like they HAVE to open and write all over fixtures with. Or, they are too lazy to put the make up back where they put it. I really love it when I'm helping a guest out and rather then them handing me back the product, they shove it on the shelf where it doesn't belong. Or they look at a lipstick and say, "I know I shouldn't do this," and take the lid off and put lines on their hand to see the color then shove it back on the shelf.
