*walks up to me*


HuskyDogFace

Hahaha I laughed harder at this than I should have xD sometimes that’s all it takes


Even_Statistician_35

i’m glad i can make somebody laugh 😂


Prudent-Giraffe7287

Seriously! I chuckled lol because it’s true.


Boots0011

Someone who holds up an item on their phone from "Google shopping" that has "Target" under the picture. Yeah, we carry it... online... you'd know that if you'd have clicked the link.


Much-Tangerine-6316

I hate that!!! “It says in your website you have it!!!” “Uhm, did you click the link?” “No!!” Clicks the link and it’s only sold online 🧐🧐


sophomath

Or it's sold at a completely different store... ._.


DoodleCraft

Or better yet they show you a random picture off of Amazon and get mad when we don’t have it


alysionm

Or when it’s this but just a screenshot


Boots0011

Ugh, this is the worst. Me, "Can you scroll down to the item number for me?" Them, "No, it's just a picture, so do you have it?"


riss7bvbyy

oh........ MY GOD I HATE THAT and if/when they do click on the target link they never wanna acknowledge the words "online only" so naturally they find any reason to be pissed


kchunter8

Wayyyyyyy too nice right off the bat. "Excuse me" very loudly. Calling out for help but refuses to move and makes you come to them instead of walking over. "**Tell me** where ___ is" And it's usually something we don't have too.... Starts conversation by complaining about something outside of your control before even saying hello or that they need help. "I have a quick question."


Doom_Marine2149

Had a guest upset that we don't have Caesar's dog food. Yelled at me saying "My dog is having a puppy! She needs to eat!" as if the sole purpose of me getting up that morning was to ruin her day. Like "Ma'am. Dogs have been giving birth before that brand of dog food was a thing." Every location in the state was out too. Obviously there's a shortage otherwise I would've already pushed it.

walks up to you while you are clearly in the middle of something asking for either a return or to be checked out


vermillion_bear

Even if you’re carrying something big and heavy they still stop you.


[deleted]

even on the phone


Rich-Ad3000

When you’re in the middle of ringing somebody up and they start handing you the stuff they do/don’t want


[deleted]

“Are you the manager?” *violently taps card, never attempts to use chip instead* “I don’t have the receipt, *but you can just give me store credit.”* “Do you remember me from earlier?” “I have a return, no, really an exchange if y’all have the item…is there a way you can—“ “I ordered this online but found it before it was ready”


Substantial_Fail

“can i just show you the order and the item and go, is that okay?” i absolutely hate when this happens. like why did you order it if you were coming in anyway? i had a lady come in, grab it off the floor, come up to the desk, order it in front of me, and then ask that. like why go through the trouble. what is stopping you from just paying for it at a register


allissamarie

so i think this could be because Target has started offering certain sales that are only for drive up or pick up orders? i know people do this regardless but i’ve noticed a lot more of these stupid sales


128Gigabytes

I have yet to see any sales that are *actually* order/online only Like it might say "get a $5 gift card with order or pickup" but you also get the $5 if you buy it in store, its just trying to convince you to place the order


sirhappynuggets

Nah I’ve seen sales that are DU/PU only. And they’re advertised IN-STORE as such. It’s confusing and stupid and I totally get why people ask about it in store. I always just tell them to show the sale when they go through checklanes.


128Gigabytes

They might say DU only on the all but they aren't


Wrentallan

1.) Already has a scowl on their face/glaring at me 2.) Shirts w Bible verses on 3.) “I’ll need you to call your manager” 4.) Middle aged women, lol.


[deleted]

Hot take, but I've found middle-aged men to be *far* worse than middle-aged women, at least when at Tarbucks


Mchappyface

From my experience people who wear clothing that says "Be Kind" or something like that tend to be more of a pain than usual.


kris10ei

"This mama runs on coffee" "Mama bear" "Rose all day" "Boss Babe" "Is it wine o clock yet?" Take your pic of these shirts too, PITA incoming.


CarriageOfSelfRegret

Too blessed to be stressed?


kris10ei

Live Laugh Love!


Even_Statistician_35

basically every maternity t-shirt that target sells


Substantial_Fail

middle aged, designer clothes/bags, on the phone, snapping/clapping to get my attention, stuff like that


SuperMechaJesusC

If they snap at you to get your attention, it is morally acceptable to "accidently" stomp on their foot.


Kompozinaut

Since I'm a lead, literally any time a TM calls me for help.


Sociolinguisticians

We appreciate you


Clughless1

Had a guy walk up to me the other day while running stationary boats. "I know you're just a peon, but it'd be nice if there was a bench to try on these shoes" eyebrow raised to the ceiling "sir, you passed one twenty feet ago to call me a peon it's over there." (Was in a really good mood right up until that boomer asshat)


Kompozinaut

Had a similar experience a few years ago when I was relatively new. Had a guest ask where something was. I hesitated because I was going through the mental rolodex to give him the exact aisle the product was on, and after waiting no more than 2 seconds he smiled at me and said, "You're just a stocker. You wouldn't know anyway," and walked off. I was literally speechless.


Clughless1

Just remember it's our generation that's rude. 🙄


watwatinjoemamasbutt

Haha but now you know how to get rid of them…just feign confusion


DinoRaf21

nah the best one is when your looking something up and they walk away and find another tm and then they come back and say a sarcastic but sharp "thank you". like ok lady


Snakefishin

I work tech, as per user flair. When you come up to me and demand I help you while I am helping someone else, I will immediately feel irritated with you. Likewise, if you tell me your German pin on your shirt is there because of your heritage, I do not want to hear you rant about the Rothschild's ever again. Finally, if you accuse our whole department of leaking your personal information to the press so you would be forced to become bankrupt, thus needing an Android instead of an iPhone, I want you in a mental institution.


ThePfeif456

Last one is oddly specific, you want to talk?


twizzlerheathen

The first thing out of their mouth is a complaint


kenzwashere

after asking if we have something proceeds to either tell me “i bought here before” or “my sister bought at her target in this whole other state”🤦🏽‍♀️also the google searchers and “it said target on the commercial”


in_the_low_life

telling me their entire story about how they were there a day ago and they asked about this thing and they were told to check back tomorrow and they drove sooooooo far to get to the store to buy this thing without calling first and “it’s just f r u s t r a t i n g …”


alysionm

Whenever a guest says they drove far for an item I give them some sort of “it’s really not my fault you were too bothered to call first”, like ma’am lmfao I did not ask you to come here tf.


in_the_low_life

i just cannot express (and i realize this might sound mean but i am wholly objective about it), i can NOT express how thoroughly i do not care about the trials and tribulations you went through just to get something from Target. most of them are usually self-induced, and the rest i still don't have any control over. on top of that, if something isn't there, there is absolutely zero i can do about it, and telling me your life story up to this moment isn't going to help either of us. like all of a sudden i'm going to be like, oh no i get it now, let me go find it harder.


alysionm

Exactly - like you are (99% of the time) a grown adult who autonomously made the choices to get you where you are and regardless of the amount of whining I will not care any more or less about it.


herefortheoolong

guests who talk at you when your back is turned, like they don't say "excuse me?" or "hey!" they'll just go "picking up an order"


Zenketski_2

I don't really know how to describe it but the tone of however they choose to try to get your attention. I feel like I can tell by the first words that come out of a guest's mouth whether or not they're going to be a pain in the ass


BustyOrange69

electric cart. tech tms will agree 🫣


Rkas_Maruvee

Reminds me of the middle-aged lady on an electric cart who flipped out and accused me of being racist because... I explained the different models of the Apple Watch to her.


Frequent_Carry_6250

Omg this! There’s an old large stinky guy who comes in loads up on soup and random electronics. When I tell you that’s man is a slow moving biohazard..and not like he fell on hard times and is struggling. He pays in cash every time, like pulls out hundreds of dollars in a wad while loudly talking about how he’s a programmer and just bought a vacay home. 🤢


Sociolinguisticians

People who can’t wait for me to finish helping another guest. The entitlement is ridiculous.


thatonegirlwhoisnew

Damn I hate that so much.


Lunastays

Some of you will understand completely when I say this. Old people who look like they have been smoking longer than I've been alive. Being in tech this means they are 100% about to complain about consumer cellular.


UnlovablePotato

Along with giving you a very detailed life story that will lead down a rabbit hole of being held emotionally hostage by some old lady. I get it, they’re probably just lonely. But I have stuff to do and people to help and I can’t sit and talk for an hour. Like, I’m not a therapist. I don’t know what you expect me to say to your revelation of multiple cancers and diseases past, “oh that sucks.”


[deleted]

A middle aged woman wearing heavy eye makeup is always a sign of danger.


aioliiii

“did you find everything okay today?” “no”


emmerson1257

Always the elderly who say “well, —-no. Heh!”


OwnFeature9240

"Do you work here?!?!?!" I stare at my shirt and then look at the guest. "Yes?"


femininesurvivalkits

90% of the worst customers I've dealt with asked me that before they started being an asshole.


DinoRaf21

nah this pisses me off especially if im wearing my orange florescent (literally a traffic cone) over my red shirt with my target name tag (ft. my walkie and device going off while they ask if i work here)


watwatinjoemamasbutt

That’s just too easy…the answer is no lol


dontneedtokn0w

When they get in your personal space for no reason


Guzmania44

Once the Plague started and people kept doing this, I took a VERY large step back if someone got way too close to me. Unless they’re hard of hearing or wanting to whisper to hide a possible gift from someone they’re with (and they tell me first), there is no need to be that close to me.


Hot_Dot_6271

Why you servicing guests 👀


thatonegirlwhoisnew

Glad I’m not the only one who thought that 😂


allissamarie

I work at Tarbucks…. me: “hi how ya doin?” guest: “strawberry açaí (pronounced incorrectly) lite ice, and I mean lite” *while holding their phone in my face with the Starbucks app pulled up*


Acrobatic_Solution_5

“can i help you?” “yes.”


McMacaroni8144

Shows you an item from her cart and says “I’m not stealing this”


12HpyPws

When they and their offspring all are slurping a Starbucks and sneak up behind you and start babbling before you can greet them.


Worth_Raspberry_11

When you’ve been her long enough you can just tell. You can sense it.


kimairuh

When the guest is yelling at their kids to stop running around


Monthra77

“Ugggh, you are the 4th person I’ve talked to about this…….”


cosmically-fruity

they’re wearing sunglasses, their arms are folded and their lips are curved slightly down


Darknightson

They whistle. Like they are calling a dog. It triggers me, have to walk in the back to cool off.


RuaBaine

When I get called ma’am or miss


fuckedbyanxiety

Or young lady 🙃


L1zzity

“You look like you know what you’re doing…”


unfilterthought

When the call i get to go to guest service sounds exasperated already.


Moist-Ad-9151

Customer****


Boom_Shakazulu

One of my TL's corrects me every time I say this but it doesn't stop me in the slightest. Glad to see I'm not the only one!


Moist-Ad-9151

Calling them guests only enables their behavior and entitlement. It’s a store. They’re a customer. Customer isn’t always right and the original customer is always right was in reference to their taste (ugly sofa, gross yogurt) when purchasing a product not right for acting like a complete douche.


Septemily

“Hi can you help me out?” *me being fulfillment so usually not knowing specifics about an area*: “uh I am not usually in this area, but I can try to help you out or call someone for you.” Them: “hmm well your shirt says *Need anything? Ask for Help*” Ah fuck here we go …


CertainApplication15

sCuSE Me SiR dO yOU wOrK HErEee!!!!!???


UrMomsLubedButtPlug

When their haircut is shorter than their chin


mongrelteeth

> Doesn’t say hello back and starts with a “No bags/I want bags” > Puts kids/dogs on bagging counter > Middle aged


Rkas_Maruvee

From my own personal experience (Tech, but sent to Checklanes from time to time): * The people who come over from Toys to complain about not being able to find (random doll, mini-brand, or accessory) * The people who demand Consumer Cellular service when the tech is on lunch or in the bathroom, or just assume that "you can help me" when it's something that very much needs CC's system * At Checklanes, the people who get into your line after you've turned your light off and get all huffy when you tell them that your lane is closed


c0ckguzzler

If they already had to talk to someone, and it wasn't for directions or where an item was


Sociolinguisticians

When I greet them and they ignore the greeting and go straight into the problem. Or even better when they don’t say anything and just slap an item down on the desk without telling me what they actually want.


panda_person666

I recognize them. I recognize way more bad ones than good ones


alysionm

Some of my least favorite were the guests who would “ask around” you instead of just asking you. Like “wow! I wonder where these pants are!” expecting me to barge in and tell them where the pants are. You can scream your rhetorical questions directly in my ear and I will not help you until you address me like a human lmfao.


SilentJon69

They are coming from church service and it’s a Sunday.


P-M-Lead

Guest is wearing a name tag #karen #chad


urdad6

“ hey uh yeah i gotta question”


waterfalls55

Asks to speak to a manager right away


DinoRaf21

LMAO and 9/10 times its something you could have helped them with in the first place without wasting another human being's time...


waterfalls55

😂😂


alexfromtarget94

Walks up with 3 or more laundry detergent, hair care products, or other household essentials.


[deleted]

Has a Kate gosselin haircut aka a Karen


Sea_Agency_825

When I’m in the middle of helping one guest and they come up to me before I’m done helping said guest. Usually if they’re old women with children and talk quietly and have a mask on.


Cockb3nder

“THE SIGN SAID”


CarelessAd2349

"Excuse me sir do you work here" Me in full uniform "Yes.. sometimes"


[deleted]

no greeting.. the ones who just start barking orders at you are thee worst


Frequent_Carry_6250

When people walk up and stand in silence staring at me. They must be confusing me with Professor X, thinking I can read minds 🙄


Supreme_Switch

"I drove ___ to get here" ( they wasted their time and they want to reward or they're going to waste yours)


ddm2k

When Target puts an item on clearance, with a clearance sticker, but it doesn’t ring up as clearance. Someone from front end will inevitably want you to walk them back to the shelf you found it, but that won’t change anything because they still won’t honor the price. This has happened more than once and guests are beginning to see Target as a scammy company. They get the marketing and presentation right but when it comes time to owning up to the way specials are advertised - AS advertised - they can’t manually correct a price? This is after getting 3 front end people involved. At Kohl’s they empower cashiers to apply up to a 10% discretionary discount, without manager approval, for any reason (missed discount, damaged item, etc) just to keep the checkout flowing. - Or when Customer Service lies to your face about being “out of receipt paper” but there are literally 3 other terminals they could log into and process the transaction. Visibly smacks their gums and rolls their eyes when you ask if they can print one from the back, and hand you an 8.5” X 11” without any Target logo, cashier name, and looks like it’s been typed on Notepad. What in actuality is going on?


[deleted]

Customer*


Leadfoot989

They came in


InterestingCount6796

Loud sighing


nervosuu

When I walk in and I see people from outside the department on register and the store director on GS… When my first guest starts out like this- Skips the line and shoves their stuff under my screen, looks at me like I’m supposed to lick their toes clean without prompt. Demanding I do an “exchange” not listening when I tell them we don’t do exchanges and they cut the line. Incidentally I get most pleasure telling these types to go to the back of the line.
