What’s something that’s traumatized you since working at Target?

I have been a target employee for almost 7 years now. I started in style, moved to GM, and now I reside in fulfillment. I started my target career at a different store.

At this particular store, it wasn’t in the best area. It was normal to have homeless people camping out in the bathrooms, and getting authorities to have them removed and usually it was pretty violent. Theft was a huge problems. Finding disgusting used thongs and tons of tags in the fitting rooms was always a nice surprise.

One particular day, I noticed what seemed to be drops of chocolate milk from almost the front of the store to the back of the store where our restrooms were located… it didn’t take long to realize what this actually was.

A very VERY large woman on an electric shopping cart shit herself, like water diarrhea shit herself and left a trail that got larger and larger until you reached the handicap stall in the women’s restroom. You could NOT tell that toilet was white.

My ETL at the time tried to get me to clean it up saying, “it’s fine you can clean it”. Only leaders can clean up bodily fluids, nice try buddy..

I was only at that store for a little over a year and I have enough trauma to last 3 lifetimes.
