What's the absolute worst part of working at Target?
The most popular response among the 34 current and former employees who spoke with Business Insider was quite simple: some of the people who shop there.
A total of 14 Target team members mentioned rude guests when discussing the worst part of their jobs.
"I despise treating adults as children," a Target team member of one year told Business Insider. "We're told to do whatever it takes to make people happy, including allowing them to steal. Seeing a middle-aged person throw a tantrum because they changed their mind on an air mattress and can't return it makes me sick."
An employee from Pennsylvania singled out "rudeness" on the part of some customers, while a different team member of five years said that certain shoppers acted "entitled."
Another team member from Pennsylvania said that they hated receiving angry complaints from shoppers whenever an item is out of stock.
"Don't b---- at me," the team member told Business Insider. "I work in retail, not a corporate job. Give me some slack."
"Guests that forget you are a real person" were also the worst aspect of the gig for one Target employee from California, while another team member from Connecticut said they suspected some customers "won't be happy no matter what you do."
