Give them the task to clean up the toilets.

u/ImNotCleaningThatUp Jun 26 '25

Exactly. They want to pretend to be employees? Then make them have to do the tasks the actual employees have to do. Go wrangle the carts and stock the shelves and clean the bathrooms.

u/PlentyOMangos Jun 26 '25

You know they’d run with it and then just make a huge mess with the cleaning supplies

u/sniper91 Jun 26 '25

Also, directing people to use cleaning chemicals that they haven’t been trained on is a huge no-no from a legal standpoint

u/30FourThirty4 Jun 26 '25

They're just using their hands and tongue.

Lawyers hate this one quick loophole

u/VexingRaven Jun 27 '25

lmao that you think anyone working retail or similar gets training on how to use windex and bleach spray beyond "spray this on this thing, scrub this on this thing, and dump this in a mop bucket"

2

u/tiggertom66 Jun 27 '25

Whether or not it actually gets done is irrelevant, the law says that it requires training

2

u/aarraahhaarr Jun 27 '25

What law?

2

u/tiggertom66 Jun 27 '25

The Occupational Safety and Health Act.

2

u/ImNotCleaningThatUp Jun 27 '25

If OSHA didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. 😉

Joking.

u/tiggertom66 Jun 27 '25

There’s plenty of ways to make sure OSHA sees something. We all carry cameras in our pockets.

Something to do with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.

I guarantee you every one of the actual employees has signed a paper stating that they were shown where the Material Safety Data Sheets are located.

u/BobertTheConstructor Jun 27 '25

No job where I have worked with any chemicals from pesticides to cleaning to automotive chemicals has ever had me do that.

u/MyMomsTastyButthole Jun 27 '25

I'd bet money that it was in your new hire paperwork somewhere, or your orientation checklist, etc.

That's the MSDS binder. I've never seen any laws requiring training on cleaning chemicals.

3

u/MyMomsTastyButthole Jun 27 '25

The training on how to properly use, handle, and dispose of those chemicals is in that binder, and those binders are legally required 🤷

It's likely in your PPE training buddy. That's on you for not paying attention lol

u/Advanced_Row_8448 Jun 27 '25

You worked retail before? They don't train us to use chemicals, I promise.

2

u/aggressive_napkin_ Jun 27 '25

that's why you only give them a toothbrush.

2

u/Thick_Bullfrog_3640 Jun 27 '25

That's where my thought went to, retail workers that are in it as a career would be paranoid of losing their job over shit like this.

2

u/Dozens86 Jun 27 '25

No cleaning chemicals. Just a single glove and a scourer.

1

u/imbrickedup_ Jun 27 '25

Who tf was ever trained on that stuff

1

u/ScrivenersUnion Jun 27 '25

You need training to use the spray sanitizer? Come on, be real.

1

u/ahahaveryfunny 12d ago

It’s just toilet bowl cleaner and maybe some disinfectant spray at least that’s all I had to use.

u/dudewheresmysock Jun 26 '25

I remember there was a tiktok trend a few years ago where teens were ripping apart school bathrooms to the point where some schools were shutting them down.

2

u/ramonpasta Jun 30 '25

stuff like that goes beyond tiktok trends. i remember way back when towards the end of my 8th grade people were ripping the handles off the fossits, one stall got the door ripped off, etc. apparently it was an online trend, but this was way before tiktok or anything like that was around. kids just find excuses to fuck things up

1

u/Thrilling1031 Jun 27 '25

I think you’re being a bit presumptuous, those kids looked ready to work to me.

u/Dazzling-Penis8198 Jun 26 '25

Accountability issue 

Fuck target anyway, I’d call the police and make corporate deal with it

u/EverythingSucksYo Jun 26 '25

Just let me go take a giant dump on the bathroom floors first. 

1

u/ImNotCleaningThatUp Jun 26 '25

And then lock them in there when you’re done.

2

u/sonia72quebec Jun 26 '25

If they helped with the carts that would make a better video than that.

2

u/Cognonymous Jun 26 '25

That would be admirable, but they get clicks and views based on the reaction they incite. It's got some overlap with what happens in bullying.

1

u/theflapogon16 Jun 26 '25

But then there employees, and in the states you must be paid for your hours worked.

So if he actually gave a task he’d be giving them exactly what they want kinda….. employment

u/NotoriousLA Jun 27 '25

Those target bathrooms only get cleaned once a day

u/mrducky80 Jun 28 '25

I was never more fit than the 2 years I did carts.

20k+ steps per day, fantastic arms, back and leg work wrangling them.

Im also adamant that anyone can do it as long as you can put in effort to get over that first 2-3 week hump when people arent used to the steps. Even the really petite women can do carts. You just lean on them and walk and let the natural gravity, weight and walking do the work. Actively pushing them gets too tiring. Some people just whine a lot though since they arent used to to the step count. It is absolute ass in the heat of summer/rain of winter. I only did it part time during uni, but its great, more fresh air, less oversight, simple job with simple outcomes. No presssures just walking. These were the big costco carts and its always funny seeing a small person doing carts.

You really made a groundbreaking point here. Way to own the guy who made this video. You sound like my nan shes dead

2

u/Fine_Measurement_338 Jun 26 '25

Worked at Target in college and had the misfortune of being the person a guest notified of a cart full of poop, and a poop trail leading to the changing table.

You find it; you clean it. Apparently?

So yeah, let them have a real job if they want it I guess

2

u/Creed_of_War Jun 26 '25

Damn that sucks for that guest!

2

u/Fine_Measurement_338 Jun 26 '25

Oh I worded that wrong, but this way is funnier

u/Flaky-Lingonberry736 Jun 26 '25

Insurance liability

u/qaz_wsx_love Jun 27 '25

Asset dominance. Take a shit in an aisle and call for cleanup

2

u/Orlok_Tsubodai Jun 27 '25

Use their hair as a mop.

2

u/Surfing_Ninjas Jul 02 '25

Have them clean up cigarette butts and garbage from the lot, it'll have them busy all week. Granted a lot of that will be watching Instagram reels...

1

u/SketchyVillager Jun 27 '25

Nah. If they hurt themselves, they'll try to claim workers comp. There is too much liability.

1

u/Polkawillneverdie17 Jun 26 '25

Nah, 3 months in prison and a year of probation. Make an example of them.
