Deli Clerk at Winco Foods

Looking? Why bother.

This is all recently un folded within the past month. Was hired on at a major chain grocery store. They proclaimed that my part-time hours would be around a hundred and forty hours a month which is fine it resulted honestly of being nothing other than 12 hours a month which I barely even begins to cover the cab fare to and from work. Trying to take the bus to get to the bus stop I've got an easy 6-mile walk just to get to the bus line so it's easier to summon a car such as Lyft. So I figured okay let me try another retailer closer to my home Target was hiring for Clerks I submitted my application and after about a week 2 weeks they responded. In the email that they sent where The Specific Instructions to contact the Human Resources Director either Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday between the hours of 1 - 3. They had some questions that they wanted to ask me about the application. I was accommodating and when I did phone the person was unable to take the call I was instructed to call back again on six different occasions that was Tuesday, Wednesday it was a repeat of Tuesday either he is in a meeting or he's off doing something or busy with some other function tried to get a hold of him 7 different times on Wednesday. Thursday last day I telephone the Target store and they're doing upgrades to their telephone system and it won't accept the call it announces that they're doing upgrades and to go to the computer website blah blah blah blah then it disconnects. so you wanted to speak with me on the telephone well it looks like that one. Despite how hard I tried just shall not be. I don't know if I game was being played upon me or a prank but it reaffirms the fact that employers crying out that they want help and desire to employ people they doing nothing other than lying. This is my second go-round with the retail store known as Target. The last time was 10 years ago. they're playing their little horseshit games this time I probably will wait another 15 to 20 years before I entertain the idea of submitting an application for employment.

Hi Belastruccio Baum , why not follow up in person? Managers at big companies like Target are too overwhelmed in operations to be playing 'games' with applicants. If that's truly an employment option for you then go for it!
