Each shift is always full of surprises, and this week was no exception. I was walking by a mannequin and noticed someone had completely sticker-bombed it. I couldn’t help but laugh but also be a little baffled at how many stickers they must have peeled off the clothes to make it happen! I tried to

When I worked in the Style department, one of the most satisfying tasks was setting up new merchandise! Whenever a new clothing collection came in, we’d set the tables by arranging signage, adjusting fixtures, and making sure everything looked picture-perfect. When back to school season rolls aroun

These two apps are a total lifesaver and honestly, I use them every single day! 1️⃣ Barcode Generator I just search for it in Safari on my phone and click the first link. This app is a game-changer when you’re scanning items in the backroom. Labels are always messed up, and if you’re in a ship

Quarter 4 is officially creeping up, and in retail, that means brace yourself for the chaos but also the excitement! I love working during the holiday season if I’m being honest. This is what to expect during quarter 4. Starting in September, the store starts to pick up for Halloween. Costumes,

At my job, I get two paid 15-minute breaks. I always take my first one, no questions asked. But the second? Yeah… that one I never took. I’d get so in the zone and feel super productive that I’d skip it completely. It didnt grasp in my mind that the store can survive without you for 15 minutes.

What I still don’t understand is… how there are all these Zebra devices, and somehow I always pick the one that doesn’t work 😂. These aren’t even the old ones, they’re the newest upgraded models… so it’s wild that they’re acting up already! A zebra is the device a Target employee uses throughout th

Only fulfillment workers will truly get this pain… The struggle of finding an item you need, only to discover it’s damaged, dirty, or stained… yuck! I don’t care if someone says, “The guest can just wash it” I would personally be horrified to receive a clothing item like that. Even worse? When i

I was asked if I wanted to pick up a visual merchandising shift, and of course, I said yes! My task was resetting the new infant apparel. I was handed a visual merchandising guide and tasked with executing the floor layout myself. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to learn the ropes of fixtu

I get a lot of questions about what I do as a Fulfillment Expert at Target, so I’m here to take you along for a typical shift. If you’re interested in this role, this is what you’d expect to see when you are flex member at Target! I clock in for my shift and start my day with a Celsius for tha

Some of my shifts feel like they’re rage-baiting me all day long. It’s both entertaining and jaw-dropping, the things I’ve seen and dealt with. Let me tell you about a few unforgettable moments: First up, I needed 6 of these axolotl painting kits for a guest order. I found 2 on the floor, but th

After spending some time working at Target, I’ve gathered a few thoughts on the experience. From flexible schedules to challenging deadlines, there are both ups and downs. Here are my pros and cons of working at Target: Pros: Flexible Scheduling & Dress Code One of the best things about wo

Here’s what I bring to work as a Target flex employee! My essentials include my wave key on my Cinnamoroll keychain, trusty box cutter, heavy-duty gloves for those long shifts, a walkie to stay connected, and of course, my name tag with a barcode to scan in for my batches. This is super helpful whe

We all have our pet peeves at work, and here are a few of mine as a fulfillment worker at Target! 😅 I pick orders placed online. It’s fast paced and can be pretty pressuring with time limits. One thing that really gets to me is how more and more items are getting locked up. Even things I never expe

Here’s my honest opinion on what it’s really like working during back to school season! 🛒 Target typically sets up the back to school section by early July, and you'd be shocked at how early some students and teachers start their shopping. The truck days get intense with loads of supplies comin

Shoutout to Target for providing vests! 🙌 As someone who gets cold super easily, I love being able to wear comfy layers like lightweight crewnecks or long sleeves. This is basically everything I wear in a week working at Target. If I’m not in the vest, you’ll catch me in a red crewneck or sweater (

At first, I took every bit of feedback way too personally. Like, one correction and I’d spiral into thinking I was bad at my job (or that I wasn’t cut out for anything.) Some people could argue saying, “It’s just retail, it’s not that serious.” But for me, it was serious because I mistakenly tie

Retail life: Some days are super chill, and everything runs smoothly, but other days? They really test your patience. One minute, I’m cruising through my tasks, and the next, I’m going from 0-100 real quick. Today, I was packing orders and had to take out the trash. Of course, when I pulled the

You look happier, yeah I switched departments! I started working in the apparel/style department at Target, and at first, it seemed fine, but after a while, I realized it just wasn’t for me. Being stuck folding clothes all day and being confined to a designated area started driving me a little insa

Did you know the standard Target employee discount is 10% off, but there are some items you can purchase that come with an addition % off! And one thing about me… I will always take full advantage of that employee discount. Wellness items like athletic gear, dumbbells, select protein powders, a

This shift started in the apparel department where I spent the morning pushing out new product and resetting the tables 👕✨ It can get repetitive, but there’s something a little satisfying about making everything look neat and organized. Midway through my shift, I got pulled to fulfillment and ha
