Are all Target stores Biased or just my Local store.?
(Please Bare with me Guys and Gals it's a long post but very interesting to see our beloved Target's True Colors.) So this is my opinion relating to whether or not Target stores are truly equal Opportunistic. And I would have to say for the most part they are but when it comes to certain things they are not. So today my focus is going to be about Target's Hiring process. Though very simple and for the most part not too pain staking. The real issue is that I believe that some of the steps deemed necessary for you to become an employee at your local Target should be evaluated or at least adjusted slightly. So here's my story. I was recently employed by Target in this quaint little city known as Manteca California. And like I said the application process was typical and I didn't think much of it until I started talking to some of my co-workers about how their application processes went and I was Frankly appalled at one step In particular. Which was their standpoint on Drug screenings. So I had a handful of co-workers say this to me. "Yeah I liked how they didn't drug test me." And when I heard more and more co-worker's tell me that they too weren't required to take a drug test I was almost disgusted by the fact that those people I'm referring to weren't asked to perform a drug screening but I myself, a 20 year old Hispanic male was asked to submit a drug test immediately after signing paperwork and things like that. So I went and did my test and what a surprise I passed it with flying colors so Jokes on you Target your assumptions that I was some adolescent Junkie or whatever their assumptions of me were at the time were completely wrong. So all in all I'm not saying Target is guilty of racial profiling but what I am saying is I think it's really immoral to judge someone based upon the way they look, dress, or even their age. I did a little research after all of this and found that this particular Target Franchise has been doing this as far back as 5 years prior to my employment with the company and possibly even longer. So if you're considering a job at your local Target or have an upcoming interview all I can say is Good Luck and Be aware that based upon the way you look and I guess maybe the way you carry yourself you may have to submit a drug test. Or who knows maybe not. ; ) Sorry for giving such a long and possibly unnecessary explanation but I basically just wanted to share this with you all and say that Target isn't racist but their application process is in my opinion immoral and Fu****.(Note, most of the people I found that were not asked to submit a drug test were Female's in their mid 20s who if judged based upon looks would be considered bookworms with flawless records. Or as some would say "Goody Goody.")
I'm so sorry to hear about this, Francisco. Are you still working for this Target in particular?
