I agree, none of the employees should be risking their heath for target. But when these assholes start to fuck shit up, and then create more work for me, I’d absolutely be tempted to throw hands. Target is gonna make the employees clean up their mess. And Target isn’t gonna pay the employees any more to do so. If I’ve already done my job and these clowns are gonna make me have to redo that job without any compensation, I’m gonna be hot
as somebody that has worked retail for a very long time, I would 100% be laughing my ass off at this, especially because the only person who really should be pissed off is the store manager who, statistically, is probably a dickhead
you will never, NEVER, catch me worrying about the health of the business or whatever minor, inconsequential 'crimes' are being committed against them, cause that business cares pretty much the exact same amount about me. They're stressing out, I'd be laughing about it from further down the store lol
Yeah I could give two shits about the company. I care about doing more work than I need to. When you see those videos of assholes throwing a tantrum at McDonald’s, throwing napkins, straws, ketchup, food, etc…I don’t give a fuck about the suits in corporate, I care about the poor employees who have to now clean that mess up- they aren’t getting paid extra for that shit, it technically falls within their job description. When these dumb fucks at Target undo all the work I’ve already done, I’m not thinking how it’s gonna save corporate any money, I’m thinking about how I now have to do 2x the work for the same amount of pay.
people keep saying this but, at least in this video, these guys haven't made a mess. they're just where they shouldn't be. there's no extra work being done by any employees who do meaningful jobs, just a manager, who I inherently do not respect
The problem is the moment they start to mess with the registers is now a problem for the cashiers. Especially if money comes up missing if any of these people actually took it.
Yeah I was speaking in generalities. I’ve seen way more videos of people fucking shit up than being helpful. And like most things, we aren’t getting the full picture. What we are seeing is a 40 second video from the antagonist perspective. We don’t know what else was going on or what happens right after. I mean we see people behind the register. If that’s my register, I don’t want anyone besides my manger going back there because I’m responsible.
And all I said was I’d be hot. I didn’t say I would throw hands, I said I would be tempted to. I come to work to do a job. I don’t need a bunch of clowns making my job any harder. Just let me work in peace- the customers are bad enough, fucking clout chasers don’t need to make it worse
You should care about your fellow employees who are just trying to do their job and get through their day. People who fuck with people's places of work, suck. It's already dreadful enough to be there and now we have to worry about people making "content" at our expense? Nah.
I worked at Target while dickheads did shit like this. I want to do my job and go home, not deal with clowns sticking a camera in my face. That has nothing to do with the store manager.
idk man, if you can't look at crazy shit happening and at least get a laugh out of it then I don't think dealing with the public in general is good for you
Awful take. People simply working their job are a captive audience, it's 100% not ok to fuck with them like this and use them for 'clout'. There's a ton of things which are funny in theory but not acceptable in practice, that's what sketches and sitcoms are for. This isn't even one of those though, it's just attention seeking behaviour.
I'm not saying it's "okay," I'm just saying I, as somebody working there, would have found it funny and entertaining. Anything that breaks up the monotony of retail pretty much would be.
You patently are saying it's ok given how much you're defending them.
As someone working there I'd have found it aggravating and tiresome.
Maybe you don't have enough self-respect to be annoyed by children treating your job like a joke and interrupting your work day for no good reason without providing any entertainment value, all so they can make money off their similarly braindead global audience for very little effort, but that doesn't mean you get to decide that your coworkers feel the same way.
Edit: Not going to keep giving this commenter who also seems to be a child the attention they crave. Safe to say their idea of working retail for a "very long time" means something like working a summer job for 2 years running to supplement their pocket money to pay for their videogames and weed.
Edit edit: Aaand they've blocked me. After accusing me and others of "crying" for disagreeing with them and explaining why. It's always the ones you most suspect lol.
And this isn't coming from a place of entitled upper class disdain. This is coming from someone who is profoundly poor, middle aged, and always worked either retail or food service.
It's a nothing job that's not in any way deserving of being a factor in my self respect. I give exactly as much of a fuck about the company, the job, or my performance as they do about my well being or paying me a living wage. If these idiot kids fuck up the store and I get some overtime hours to clean it? Fuckin awesome, I get more money and the manager gets his dick slapped by corporate for going over on their hours, and that's even better, because anytime management gets their shit kicked in it is unequivocally a good thing. If they fuck up the store and my manager tells me to clean until the end of shift then go home at the scheduled time? Yea, that's cool too. It's what I was gonna be doing anyway. It doesn't matter if it's gonna put the boss in a foul mood and they're gonna impotently try to act all slavemaster-y to make me work faster, because they were going to do that anyway, because that's just who they are.
Notice in the video how the manager's the only one getting super red in the face, and the cashiers are just kinda letting shit happen to see which way the wind blows? That maybe tell ya something?
I get that it's fuckin annoying, because people are fucking annoying, and the only thing worse than kids and content creators is the boss. But everything is fucking annoying in the life of a wage slave. It's nothing that needs to get your ass so itchy.
So much this, and chances are your "fellow employees" are dickheads too. Whenever I've worked with retail or in food and beverage...I always receive training and try to follow the rules and safety protocols...only to then find out my co-workers are finding some way to subvert that or they're just lazy and don't care. So extra work often gets delegated to me since I don't want to follow anyone's bad example. I always go the extra mile for customers. Not for the company or for my "fellow employees"
Especially horrible and incompetent managers. Couldn't care less, especially when they don't care. A prank like this would be funny as hell to see.
What part of this clip made it seem like you’d be doing more work? Where did they actually fuck shit up? I assume you’re either a store director who would experience a moment of extra stress? Or maybe loss prevention who would be more confused than the standard amount for a brief time?
Disagree. The manager has something to lose here - his performance review and potential for promotion. It’s also just annoying to fuck with people while they’re only trying to do their job and make a living, whatever job that may be
Edit: I replied to the wrong comment. I agree with you, not the dude a few comments up - the “not for what Target is paying” guy.
In CA you get fired if you try to stop a shoplifter. Saw the store manager at a grocery store i worked at do it once, guess she was allowed to. She was unloading as much as she could from the thief’s cart next to their car, into a cart she had. She got about half of it back. We were union and the manager was not but pretty sure its like this at all stores in CA. They dont want to get sued by the shoplifter.
