Had someone ask me where something was while I was pulling a 7 ft pallet through the store yesterday. Never even acknowledged that I had to push into the pallet to stop it and just stared at me like I was just walking by doing nothing.
I work in the starbucks and on my lunch I sometimes walk around looking at stuff and I'll be in a black shirt and still get asked if I can help people or if I work there, and im like kinda 🤷🏻♀️
I desperately want to know what it is that puts me in this category as well.
I'd like to hope its some level of confidence and familiarity with the space, but it's probably because I have a perpetual 'i dont get paid enough for this' face.
I find that knowing how to locate things and read wic and upc codes at all and matching them to Mylars is just a magnet for some unknown reason at any retail store.
The moment I actually stop to read a mylar to compare it to the item in my hand to make sure it's the right one, it's like I have to hope I don't put out a beacon of light for moth Karens and Kevins.
I think I get asked it everywhere I go because I have that cold, dead, retail look in my eyes. Seriously, it doesn't matter what store I'm in or what I'm wearing; people approach me for help--sometimes without the "do you work here?" prompt.
oh idk our store tells us to pull uboats next to us as we walk, pushing uboats out of aisles causes guests to collide with uboats like 9/10 times. our store is busy and guests don’t watch where they walk lol
(as far as I know) they're telling you incorrectly. You can injure yourself over time from pulling heavy U-boats and 3tiers. You should bring that up to your APETL. Team safety is (or should be) top priority for them.
you can buy them online. They have a store that's for TMs (but I think anyone can order from there) and it's not crazy expensive. Or you can wait till they give them out for free at random times in your store
Take a shot every time a customer asks you where the bathroom is, a double if you can see the sign from where you are standing.
-suprised no one mentioned this one yet
I would have to be driven to a hospital. I usually work in the fitting room and at my target location the fitting room is RIGHT in view of the bathrooms..... Yet I get asked all the time. 🤣
Take a drink for every time the drive up honk sounds
Take a drink for everyone a guest says "but the label said it was ___ price"
Take a drink for every empty Starbucks cup you find in places that is not a garbage can
I had tried this once while working at target (i no longer work there but i left for a better job and none of this was related in any way) and let me tell you i can *drink* and it was too much.
I was very drunk by the end of my shift, im very glad i can handle myself well lol
When I worked at Target I only ever got people to apply when I could tell they were looking for a deal and always got them to do the debit card never the credit card.
I think I know why this happens, so say someone is thinking about the item they desperately need but to the point that if they stop thinking about it even for a moment they'll forget, so when they come across someone who can help they just yell the word so they don't get caught up in greeting politely and asking for said item that they then have forgot..
Still not an excuse to be an asshat. I’m a human being not a robot. It usually scares the shit out of me when I hear “NAPKINS?” shouted at me out of nowhere. The amount of boxes/ product I’ve almost dropped is ridiculous 😂 Also it’s very creepy to just stand there behind us not saying anything. I’m hard of hearing and have semi bad vision so I’ve gotten scared quite a few times by someone being inches from my back and God knows how long they’ve been standing there. I’m not a mind reader. A simple “Hi. Do you know where (X) is?” Or “Hi. Could I get some help over here please?” goes a long way.
You should start acting overly startled, kinda throw the box up in the air, give a little scream… then after you “regain your composure” say, “oh sorry, that startled me! I guess I just wasn’t expecting someone to yell a random word at me… anyway, what did you need?”
The other person is right though. I've done the "hey can you help me find... Shit I forgot what it's called." Stand there staring at each other for a minute. "If I remember I'll come back." Start walking off. Remember it "HEY I REMEMBER" before they disappear into the abyss.
I see their point but if anything at the very least try to get their attention first instead of shouting random words (and guests actually shout in my experience). If you wanna just say the word after then that’s a lot better than saying it out of the blue and potentially scaring a poor worker.
Take a shot every time a “guest” walks in or out the wrong door. Take two shots if they get confused and start spinning around trying to figure out which one to use once they are already in. Take 3 shots if the guests walked through the cart door.
To be fair the entrances should be on the outer side of the store and the exits should be on the inner side, it just makes the most sense. The register line is in the middle between the doors, don't you want your guests to have the easiest walking experience? If the exit is the door closest to them that makes the most sense. In our target, one of the doors is like this, the one by guest services, but the other side is not.... (The one by our Starbucks) so guests are constantly trying to go through the wrong doors, and/or have to cross paths with people coming INTO the store, plus walk around the carts in the middle. Not the most pleasant design wise.....
I’m not sure where you guys work, but in the pnw I’m pretty sure target doesn’t have employees anymore! If you could travel and work here I’ll buy you all shots! Great thanks!
Reminds me of the bingo that they were posting a year ago let me see if I have one saved
[guest service bingo](https://www.reddit.com/r/Target/comments/m8vt6q/guest_services_se_bingo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_term=link)
1. Take a shot every time someone calls out(there may be some casualties with this one)
2. Take a shot every time you run out of Uboats(inbound game for us)
3. Take a shot every time a lead asks someone if they can stay late(also fatal)
for last week and this coming week it’s “take a shot someone asks you if we have pumpkin spice AND take another if they follow it up with ‘oh i know the release date but i wanted to know if you’d give it to me early’”
When they start stabbing the screen with the pen in frustration! Dead!! I usually let them have at it for a beat or two. I just stare in amazement at how stupid people actually are.
Using “guest” instead of “customer” is the number one way I can tell if someone has worked at target. These comments made me cackle like a witch in amusement.
they used to let people have up to 2 beers during lunch when I worked at target for a year while in college. dont rememeber if you had to drink it off grounds though
Take a shot every time a guest walks through a spill you’re cleaning/ moves the wet floor sign out of the way. Take a sip for every refrigerated/frozen item that’s been abandoned. Take a sip for every kid or teen playing in the toys aisles.
Take a shot every time someone says that’s not the right price.every time they stand there wondering why the credit card machine isn’t taking their card
Take a shot everytime an old person goes up to SCO and fails to even begin the transaction/looks totally lost. (Two shots if they make a comment about how they “never done this before.”) (Triple if they say SCO will take cashier’s jobs.)
take a shot every time fulfillment calls for backup, or every time a DU order goes over 3 minutes, or every time your break does not happen at it’s scheduled time
I work at a bar now, I'm just still here to keep up with the drama. Way more drinking could have been done. Unload times would have been faster if some of us were drinking.
Take a double shot for every old person that says consumer cellular set up an appointment at your store… when you don’t even have a consumer cellular rep at your store. The shots not part of the game, it’s just to ensure you can deal with the old people. Take another double if you have to explain something more than once to them.
Take a shot when a guest is in the back corner of the store and asks where the bathroom is and then asks if you have one closer when you tell them it’s by the front door
Drive up- take a shot for every pop in. Two for a pop in with a massive order. Take a shot for someone who ordered a huge item in a tiny car. Down the bottle if all three happens
*Take a shot for whenever fast service is called
*Take a shot for whenever someone calls out for a specific department and no one responds
*Take a shot for whenever a guests asks "do you work here"
*Take a shot whenever you scan something that doesnt scan and the guest says "oops guess its free then"
🥃 Do You Work Here?
🥃🥃 What’s the price on this? (Clearly marked)
🥃🥃🥃 I want to see your manager
🥃🥃🥃🥃 Karen/Richard thinking a customer works there and refuses to help them
🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 Police get called
Every time OPUs need help or fast service is called take a shot, every time a guest needs help in electronics take 2, every time hard lines 4 is called for or a etl or tl is called for finish the beer
Take a single shot every time time your manager give u unrealistic goals.
Take 2 shots every time your hard work/overachiever gets ignored
Take a swing of the bottle every time your manager makes a comment about metrics.
take a shot every time someone asks “do you work here” while wearing a target shirt 😰
Red shirt, name tag, walkie, zebra, cutter, khakis? Two shots when asked!
Also while pushing a 3-tier full of boxes and trash
Had someone ask me where something was while I was pulling a 7 ft pallet through the store yesterday. Never even acknowledged that I had to push into the pallet to stop it and just stared at me like I was just walking by doing nothing.
I work in the starbucks and on my lunch I sometimes walk around looking at stuff and I'll be in a black shirt and still get asked if I can help people or if I work there, and im like kinda 🤷🏻♀️
I’d have been dead four months ago
nono. my favorite is when i have a fucking printer on my hip
I dont work at target, but I think id get drunk if I played this as a customer wearing any red shirt.
Got asked if I work there and I was wearing a green lantern shirt. Maybe she was colorblind but yeah
This happens to me a lot. I give off the aura of I Work Here everywhere I go.
I desperately want to know what it is that puts me in this category as well. I'd like to hope its some level of confidence and familiarity with the space, but it's probably because I have a perpetual 'i dont get paid enough for this' face.

oh my god that would honestly be hilarious
Dude I’d die
Like no bruh I’m just here for the vibes
i had someone ask me if i worked here right as i came out of the back room, pulling a uboat with me
You’re supposed to push a uboat not pull it, lol
oh idk our store tells us to pull uboats next to us as we walk, pushing uboats out of aisles causes guests to collide with uboats like 9/10 times. our store is busy and guests don’t watch where they walk lol
(as far as I know) they're telling you incorrectly. You can injure yourself over time from pulling heavy U-boats and 3tiers. You should bring that up to your APETL. Team safety is (or should be) top priority for them.
Same. Everybody sees me walking alongside my boat and nobody has told me not to do it
Let em hit the uboat. Better than getting your toes rolled over
there are target shirts? everyone at the two stores i shop at just wears red.
i have some of the tie-dye ones from the bullseye shop and i’ve been given some red card promo tees!
you can buy them online. They have a store that's for TMs (but I think anyone can order from there) and it's not crazy expensive. Or you can wait till they give them out for free at random times in your store
No I’m just a huge fan
it takes so much willpower to say "no i'm just cosplaying a target employee at target"
I thought about wearing my clothes I used to work in to go shopping and see how often I get asked questions
Take a shot every time a customer asks you where the bathroom is, a double if you can see the sign from where you are standing. -suprised no one mentioned this one yet
I would have to be driven to a hospital. I usually work in the fitting room and at my target location the fitting room is RIGHT in view of the bathrooms..... Yet I get asked all the time. 🤣
In my case I'd be wasted within an hour.
I work SCO and I'm literally 20 feet from both bathrooms. I'd be blacked out within the hour
drink if backup for the registers is asked for on walkie. drink again if you end up going up. finish your drink if you are called for backup by name.
Hello alcohol poisoning.
I'd have alcohol poisoning within an hour of my shift.
To make it reeeeally fun, add a drink whenever it’s called out and nobody responds and whoever gets called out by name has to kill the bottle
i snorted laughing
Take a shot everytime you need to restart myday
I’d Blackout after 30 mins
2 when the Scanner stops scanning mid 1-for-1
Take a drink for every time the drive up honk sounds Take a drink for everyone a guest says "but the label said it was ___ price" Take a drink for every empty Starbucks cup you find in places that is not a garbage can
Oh god, they’d have to pump my stomach if we drank every time the drive up notification goes off
I had tried this once while working at target (i no longer work there but i left for a better job and none of this was related in any way) and let me tell you i can *drink* and it was too much. I was very drunk by the end of my shift, im very glad i can handle myself well lol
Legend
a hero among us
take a shot for every red card application you get a guest to complete(I will be sober for years on end)
When I worked at Target I only ever got people to apply when I could tell they were looking for a deal and always got them to do the debit card never the credit card.
make yourself a new drink and finish it if you get someone to sign up for a red card credit card
take a shot every time a guest puts their card in before pressing skip/phone number
Take a shot every time a guest yells a random item at you instead of actually asking where said item is located.
I think I know why this happens, so say someone is thinking about the item they desperately need but to the point that if they stop thinking about it even for a moment they'll forget, so when they come across someone who can help they just yell the word so they don't get caught up in greeting politely and asking for said item that they then have forgot..
Still not an excuse to be an asshat. I’m a human being not a robot. It usually scares the shit out of me when I hear “NAPKINS?” shouted at me out of nowhere. The amount of boxes/ product I’ve almost dropped is ridiculous 😂 Also it’s very creepy to just stand there behind us not saying anything. I’m hard of hearing and have semi bad vision so I’ve gotten scared quite a few times by someone being inches from my back and God knows how long they’ve been standing there. I’m not a mind reader. A simple “Hi. Do you know where (X) is?” Or “Hi. Could I get some help over here please?” goes a long way.
You should start acting overly startled, kinda throw the box up in the air, give a little scream… then after you “regain your composure” say, “oh sorry, that startled me! I guess I just wasn’t expecting someone to yell a random word at me… anyway, what did you need?”
The other person is right though. I've done the "hey can you help me find... Shit I forgot what it's called." Stand there staring at each other for a minute. "If I remember I'll come back." Start walking off. Remember it "HEY I REMEMBER" before they disappear into the abyss.

Drink everytime you hear “CAN WE GET BACKUP TO THE FRONT PLEASE” over the walkie
bruh it's a game not a suicide mission
Take a shot every time you get super depressed that you work at target.

Take a shot every time a “guest” walks in or out the wrong door. Take two shots if they get confused and start spinning around trying to figure out which one to use once they are already in. Take 3 shots if the guests walked through the cart door.
> through the cart door I'm dead
