Here’s my psa: (for not just OP but also for any curious possible transfers.) If Target hires you, please please be nice and try to work with the locations requests before “telling them how easy or terrible” everything they do is. I’ve worked my Tarbucks location for over 4 years now, and we’ve had AT LEAST 4 hires I can recall that were so mean, unaccommodating and constantly belittled my coworkers, especially the younger ones because they had corporate experience, and therefore felt more important than the tarbucks workers. I really wanted to like them, and tried to ignore the passive aggressive comments or refusal to use our trained practices. They all either ended up getting fired for poor customer service or quit because they didn’t like the workload and being by themselves so often. Also we only have a small discount, no free drinks or food or markouts whatsoever. Please don’t show up and whine about no free or super-discounted shift drinks. We of all people hate that policy.

Tip: Usually if you swing by the Target you want to work at, you can ask to directly speak to the Starbucks team lead when they’re working and see if they have any openings. We only have maybe 6 or 7 people on our schedule including that team lead, so there’s no point in applying if they can’t hire you. Once we had two people get fired at the same time and a girl from corporate happened to ask about a job and was able to get an immediate interview because we were so desperate for someone who didn’t need to be fully
trained, so you might luck out. The pay is great!

You’ll have to apply to target
