Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Target was my first job a few years after this happened to you. While my favorite is how nearly all retail will only give you 34 hours maximum so they don't have to give you benefits, while also having you work a different shifts each day, with never two days off in a row, and that schedule is going to never be the same two weeks in a row- making it impossible to live a normal life or work a second job-
While thats so cool of these companies, Target is were my first cry and the hands of a customer happened. This white dude suit comes though my line, he's with a young person, and he was buying basically out entire "back to school" (college) section. Hundreds of dollars.
His card declined. It didn't just decline, it asked to call a number to get the transaction approved. I, as a teenager myself, tried to explain. This man berated me like no one ever did since to be honest. He pulled the "I make more money than everyone in this room combined". He was mean.
My manager was really good about it when she came to help me. She even let me take an extra break after. Ill never forget that interaction. "What radicalized you", this was one if them. Basic Human decency is free. What was he teaching that college aged kid in that moment? Why do some people tie money to whether or not you are a good person? I'll never understand.
Anyway, about 7 months later I walked out due to this dumb bitch Amanda, power tripping square, who was just mad her crush liked me and not her. I didnt like him back, but she was targeting me for it. I said fuck this and fuck you to her face, and walked out mid shift.
Target sucks balls. I've never made enough money to shop there with any real consistency anyway.
