you are only given 4 hours a day.

As the scorpion told the frog... "It's what I do."

Even full-time at 11/hr is still garbage, but still. Walmart is as Walmart does.

to their part timers not to mention the problem of erratic schedules making getting a part time job problematic.

$13.00 an hour, you would need extra income. I think many Target employees live with others.

with people because of the cost of living.

I live in NYC, and I'd be loaded with $40 and hour. $1,600 a week is good money. How high is the rent there? Can't they travel an hour or two a day for lower rent like we to here?

I make $58 an hour and my rent is $2000 a month for a mediocre 600 sq ft one bedroom apartment built in the 70's. I could get a roommate and a two bedroom and maybe save $500-700 a month but its not worth it to have to deal another person. It is gated and I have a parking spot inside so I don't have to deal with all the car break-ins and dents and dings from street parking so I'm thankful for that.

It's insane for me to think of paying $2k/mo for a 600sq ft apartment. $2k/mo where I am at would get a large "luxury" apartment in a prime spot downtown or very close to downtown.

until it gets to 15.

Those are my to "go-to" destinations for things that I don't want to order from Amazon.

Our local Target store is so much nicer and CLEANER and well-stocked compared to Walmart. Also, the employees are much more helpful and courteous than Walmart employees.

Working two different jobs.

I was at a retail store and talked with a friendly cashier a couple of days later I was in another chain store and there was the same cashier, I asked if she changed jobs and she said no she has two jobs so she can work over 40 hours in order to pay her rent and have money for extras.

Retail is entry-level, so part-time opportunities are important to keep available for students, single parents, interns, etc. But there has to be a compromise for those who are in retail as a single-source income, that I am sure of.

I can't stand the one near me because they rarely have more than one or two registers open and the Safeway's are no better.

Many times my closest Target has 1 "regular" lane open at night, as they try to funnel everybody toward the 4 self checkout kiosks. I get it if you're buying a bottle of water or something. Still, I wish people would refuse to use those gd things. They're giving the company free labor, and probably ensuring that fewer and fewer "regular" lanes will be open in the future.

Little by little, we are getting there!

Maybe it's just me, but even though Target is a "discount" store, I've always considered it a step above Wal-Mart. Target always seems to have merchandise that's a little better quality than Wal-Mart.
