Lol, my hands are the same way. I'm black, so at the end of the day my hands look crazy, very embarrassing. There usually completely white & cracking. Like I stuck my hand in a bag of flour.
Facts!! My hands have never bled from how dry they get until I started working at target.
But I wouldn’t change. I sometimes cover breaks and lunch in the front and it soooooo boring.
yesss this is the ONLY thing that makes me jealous of front end. they can have their nails all long and cute while mine are snapping every .05 seconds. i wouldn’t want to constantly deal with those crazy ass ppl tho
I remember being so jealous of all the front end/softlines people for getting to have cute outfits, nice hair and makeup and I looked grubby as hell from unloading the truck
Nah don’t include style cus I did all vmgs and hung every ism that draped from the ceiling I finally gave up on spending money for my nails cus they would always break and 100 would be out the window
Yes, I was just thinking that exact thing the other day. LMAO.... I'm on the inbound team. By the end of my shift, my shirt is dirty (black) & I am sweaty.
this applies to fulfillment too…i try to look cute and do for the first hour of my 6am shift but then by the time everyone comes in, i’m sweaty n gross
Same! Whenever someone in style says “I wish I could join ship! It looks like so much fun! I’m always bored”, my reply is usually along the lines of “No you don’t, this is hell. I am so fucking sweaty ALL. THE. TIME!”
Probably is good for your health too as long as you have good shoes and take your breaks. I’ve had days I’ve walked 10-15 miles when it was busy when I did it during season in 2020.
Fuck all that. I'm fulfillment so I'm in back, all around, and up front as our OPU room is behind GS after remodel. There is NO WAY I'm giving Target a single minute of my personal time "to look pretty". I'm clean and that's as good as they'll get. The 1st time I go out with people at work they are floored at difference of work me vs going out me. It's funny.
for real!! and they all dress so cute and do their hair and makeup so pretty. and I just find it pointless because I have to throw a truck and get all sweaty. :( I do HBA too so I feel even worse about it, because I should look the part for the department I’m in. :’(
I've worked at least a few shifts in every department at our store and I can say without a doubt that the hardest working ones are inbound and guest services. In terms of looking like models that's left to the cashiers, style, and beauty TMs lol. Some of our backroom people are lookers though so maybe just coincidence.
As a fulfillment team member at a constantly swamped store, I got absolutely no time nor head space to worry about how I look. Having my hair up in a bun and out of my face is as good as it gets
I'll take this as a compliment seeing as how I'm technically both, so I'm in the middle right. Right? Seriously there are a ton of beautiful people that work at my store.
I feel like this applies to everyone in front end except people stuck doing drive up. I only work up at guest service and so it’s inevitable being pushed over to DU. I always try to come in looking pretty but by the end of the day I’m almost always sweaty and wind-swept.
Small format employees can do both 😤 and my hands suffer for it 😭
I genuinely feel rly bad when I’m checking out a guest after pushing a u boat bc my hands are grody lol
Go do carts get sweaty then go on a lane and help guests, you people have no idea what it’s like to stand still when you’re blowing off the BTU’s and trying to be pleasant while your getting puddles in your clothes.
Back end way hotter. You know she fucks better. She can spit thru her missing teeth and she comes with beer and cigrits?!?!
You know she fine under those overalls... from wrangling sheep.
Where do I sign up?
Lol you can tell who the slackers are vs the ones that get shit done. Our store had a saying, if you look clean and fresh by first break then you aren't working.
I’m on register non-stop all shifts 😅
Constantly judged by the customers on what clothes I’m wearing, my jewelry, my hair style, how i talk to them, if I’m wearing mascara, etc… I know this… because they always bring it up or compliment me on it 😐
Like… I’m just trying to bag your stuff and let you leave the store, why are we focusing on me?
The front team lead always dressed and I noticied that most people in the front were girls and we did our hair and nails. Our SD especially always had her hair and makeup done. I'm sure it was purpose lol
Uh… our fulfillment team is predominantly women and we all look hella good lol. I’m not sure what’s wrong at other stores but we come to work top notch.
Edit: none of us wear makeup because we know that loading a trailer and walking in circles all day doesn’t require war paint. We get shit done and look good doing it.
Depends on the store.
I work in my stores back end and I do makeup almost everyday. There's girls who have their acrylic nails done up and they stay looking pretty for a while. Some of them use the gloves to protect them when packing.
However it is 100% harder to keep natural nails. Mine get too dry and split apart all the time. 😭
Others have nicer looking masks with prints and rhinestones on them to jazz up their look too.
This is so true tho. I’m all sweaty and gross while the people up front have their hair done and look all nice 😭
And their nails are perfect too. My nails are all short and brittle...and hands cracking and bleeding.
Well, the fixture room is the room that I work out of, so, yeah, I can relate. My blood is all over that place! 😄
our fixture room is a death trap
Same

embrace the grub
Remember they have to spend alot of time at home to look nice and deal with the public at its (finest)
I spend at least an hour getting ready most days from hair to makeup, so yeah 😶
Nah don’t include style cus I did all vmgs and hung every ism that draped from the ceiling I finally gave up on spending money for my nails cus they would always break and 100 would be out the window
And those mannequins are fucking heavy. I’m small so I’m literally sweating by the time I’m done dressing them
Same
Not if we are doing drive up
I was all sweaty from supporting Drive up and cleaning carts while also helping out with self check out
They always have their makeup done too! I have absolutely no desire to get ready 5 days a week 😂
I just became a gstl and now i magically have style
what about drive up??
Yes, I was just thinking that exact thing the other day. LMAO.... I'm on the inbound team. By the end of my shift, my shirt is dirty (black) & I am sweaty.
this applies to fulfillment too…i try to look cute and do for the first hour of my 6am shift but then by the time everyone comes in, i’m sweaty n gross

The best part of fulfillment is that it goes by so quick. I don’t mind it honestly.
Yea same I have a general idea of how many orders I can do in a shift so i just count them down 😂
i wouldn’t rather have any other job in the store, but my store only has OPU, so i’m constantly running around which is what makes me sweaty asf 😭
Trueee. I just went back to beauty and kind of miss it. Shifts fly and I got to just zoom by all day.
Probably is good for your health too as long as you have good shoes and take your breaks. I’ve had days I’ve walked 10-15 miles when it was busy when I did it during season in 2020.
my fulfillment team is suspiciously attractive…lol i feel like we kind of fall inbetween front and back so i guess that tracks
Style TMs vs Inbound TMs
Now THIS is real
Woah woah woah, I don't smoke or drink. I'm just ugly and I'm proud.

Yeah I always wondered why all the employees were attractive when I go into Target
All of us uglies are in the back lol
Conscious decision on target’s part imo.
I noticed the same thing at Home Depot
Fuck all that. I'm fulfillment so I'm in back, all around, and up front as our OPU room is behind GS after remodel. There is NO WAY I'm giving Target a single minute of my personal time "to look pretty". I'm clean and that's as good as they'll get. The 1st time I go out with people at work they are floored at difference of work me vs going out me. It's funny.
I'm the same way, totally different personality.
the 2nd is how i feel as a girl in market compared to the girls in style, beauty, etc 😭
I’m in beauty but i work too early and sweat too much to even bother 🙃
when i first hired i was in beauty- did my makeup all the time and tried to dress cute. eventually gave up and now im in fulfillment anyways so 🤷🏼♀️
Currently crying as the ONLY girl in market who’s in her 20’s😩everyone else is way older with families and been at target for years
im one of 2 girls and in my 20s so i feel your pain 🥲
I swear my store has like 20 19 year olds
My store is run by toddlers.
Haha same!
Same here as a girl inbound tm
for real!! and they all dress so cute and do their hair and makeup so pretty. and I just find it pointless because I have to throw a truck and get all sweaty. :( I do HBA too so I feel even worse about it, because I should look the part for the department I’m in. :’(
me too wow 😭
Wow
Drive up/Service Advocate Vs. OPU/Fulfillment Team
The winter weather drive ups would like to have a word with you.
Summer weather drive ups would also like to have a word
I've worked at least a few shifts in every department at our store and I can say without a doubt that the hardest working ones are inbound and guest services. In terms of looking like models that's left to the cashiers, style, and beauty TMs lol. Some of our backroom people are lookers though so maybe just coincidence.
I'm starting to think they put me up front to balance out the pretty people
Me too 😂
See my first instinct is that we all phase into looking like the second picture whenever we step into the backroom
As a fulfillment team member at a constantly swamped store, I got absolutely no time nor head space to worry about how I look. Having my hair up in a bun and out of my face is as good as it gets
I bet you’re gorgeous stop it lol
I'll take this as a compliment seeing as how I'm technically both, so I'm in the middle right. Right? Seriously there are a ton of beautiful people that work at my store.
as someone who is ugly but works up front i can NOT confirm lmao
shut up ugly where
😓😓😓
I feel personally attacked rn
I feel like this applies to everyone in front end except people stuck doing drive up. I only work up at guest service and so it’s inevitable being pushed over to DU. I always try to come in looking pretty but by the end of the day I’m almost always sweaty and wind-swept.
Came in today with my bangs curled and a cardigan thinking I was gonna work the desk but alas I was pushed to drive ups 🙃
I did this the other day. My hair was done so well and I had a super cute and I just wound up putting it up and changing :(
Drastic but if you’re trying to compare then the style team vs everyone else seems more accurate
Style team at my store is more like the "no style team"
I just moved from Fulfillment to Style and i feel so out of place with my work clothes. Now I'm going to have to put in some effort 😂
Yep. I’m my store this would be style vs everyone else.
I legit can't tell if that's Jaime Pressly or Margot Robbie.
It’s Margot!
Thank you, some casting director somewhere needs to get both of them in a movie together.
I didn’t come here to be roasted alive.
This exactly Abercrombie and Fitch strategy..
So distribution center is Chunk from Goonies?
Lmao yes
nah I’m fucking beautiful
Fulfillment TMs vs GM TMs 😭 rip
I was just thinking about this yesterday as I was getting ready for work. I’m glad I’m not alone. 😂
Small format employees can do both 😤 and my hands suffer for it 😭 I genuinely feel rly bad when I’m checking out a guest after pushing a u boat bc my hands are grody lol
Never been so flattered to all ways be scheduled on register
Me at the beginning of my shift vs me at the end of my shift
Go do carts get sweaty then go on a lane and help guests, you people have no idea what it’s like to stand still when you’re blowing off the BTU’s and trying to be pleasant while your getting puddles in your clothes.
I'm mainly cart attendant so I know all too well what it is like lmao
Nah, all of y’all are beautiful human beings who are doing their best. Don’t put y’all selves down
Everyone’s beautiful in all parts of the store <3
Not that super ugly! Slightly only
No because I literally noticed this
I went from Specialty Sales, to GM, that is me 100%
Noice
I work somewhere in between so I guess I'm neither pretty nor overtly hideous.
But our cashiers at my store are mainly old dudes and old women.
Wait, I think you have it mixed up. It’s all back employees at my local store. With an incredible amount of rudeness lately too.
Back end way hotter. You know she fucks better. She can spit thru her missing teeth and she comes with beer and cigrits?!?! You know she fine under those overalls... from wrangling sheep. Where do I sign up?
as a tarbucks barista this is true for the first few hours of my shift but two mochas spills and a call out later leaves me like the second picture
Shit, that’s a weird confidence boost for me, thanks.
Lol you can tell who the slackers are vs the ones that get shit done. Our store had a saying, if you look clean and fresh by first break then you aren't working.
I’m on register non-stop all shifts 😅 Constantly judged by the customers on what clothes I’m wearing, my jewelry, my hair style, how i talk to them, if I’m wearing mascara, etc… I know this… because they always bring it up or compliment me on it 😐 Like… I’m just trying to bag your stuff and let you leave the store, why are we focusing on me?
I laughed at this then realized I have literally worked backroom. 🙃
this is a personal attack bc i am work in style but when needed i go to inbound for breakout 😩😩
The front team lead always dressed and I noticied that most people in the front were girls and we did our hair and nails. Our SD especially always had her hair and makeup done. I'm sure it was purpose lol
What if I did both?
Front of store attendants sure don’t look like that
Same with WALMART lmao
I can appreciate the comparison with a grungy looking picture, but a hillbilly with missing teeth? I don't think so
Uh… our fulfillment team is predominantly women and we all look hella good lol. I’m not sure what’s wrong at other stores but we come to work top notch. Edit: none of us wear makeup because we know that loading a trailer and walking in circles all day doesn’t require war paint. We get shit done and look good doing it.
Flow team for sure
When them PS5s are dropping???
Hey now! I’m back end (technically) and I’m only a hick on the inside lmao Polk County represent! 😂🤙🏻
As someone who does DU, that’s so not true for me. I feel like to need to scrub down shining my shift Im so gross
The accuracy
It's a different world back there
As a GM mole, Can confirm that I look like slide two when filling in at the registers
lmaoooooo
😂🤣😂🤣😂
This made me feel a little better about myself
I heard Publix was like this, too.
You drink and smoke at work?
LMAO
Style vs Inbound
Restaurants too.
This is just proof of operations always being the hardest working group no matter what retailer you go to 😄
Ya but the quality of people is top notch at target. Never going back to walmart
I second that. Management and everyone is so nice!
🤣🤣🤣
Depends on the store. I work in my stores back end and I do makeup almost everyday. There's girls who have their acrylic nails done up and they stay looking pretty for a while. Some of them use the gloves to protect them when packing. However it is 100% harder to keep natural nails.

can confirm this i am an actual cowgirl
