Newly hired Target employee claims she was forced to manage the entire store alone after her boss clocked out early

A TikToker and Target employee found herself in a difficult situation after she was allegedly left to run the entire store by herself.

Ket, known as @ketaminelorde on TikTok, wrote a video of her supposed experience of running the store without a manager.

“Somehow I’m going to have to close 24 registers, guest services and self check-out… I’m going to have to close the store by myself,” she said, explaining that she was one of the only people who knew how to close a record… while admitting she had no idea how to process a return.

“I don’t know what the hell I’m doing,” she added.

The TikToker claimed in her April 7 video that she had only been working at Target for two months when she was left to manage the entire store by herself, with only four workers to help her.

According to Target’s corporate website, the department store chain currently has more than 400,000 employees.

On the website, you can read that Target is ‘developing practices and policies’ to help their employees ‘thrive in the workplace’.

@ketaminelorde didn’t seem to feel like she was thriving after allegedly running the store alone after her manager left work at 3:00 am.

‘It happens whether I like it or not. Literally girl disconnected,’ she wrote in her video.

@ketaminelorde also took pictures of herself while away from customers and even wrote ‘help’ in one of her pictures.

A former Target employee wrote further Glass door that they were allowed to take a 30-minute break and two 15-minute breaks.

It’s unclear if Ket’s store offers employees the same break policy, but she was apparently annoyed by a co-worker who didn’t return from theirs while the manager was gone.

According to TikToker, the employee went on a 15 minute break which turned into a 30 minute break without her knowledge.

Ket asked the co-worker where they were and firmly stated that she needed the co-worker to get back to work.

The TikToker continued to take pictures of herself in the store and she left work at 11:45 that evening.

“Come back here for a 7 o’clock shift tomorrow – yay!,” she added.

Other TikTok users have felt bad since the incident, but one user dissed her for taking selfies at work.

More than one TikToker suggested Ket got her Target superiors to give her a bonus for unexpectedly running the store.

Ket, who responded to comments on her video, claimed that Target did not give her extra compensation.

‘Girl I would have been on the phone with the store manager! absolutely not getting paid enough for this I’m so sorry,’ one person wrote.

Other users told their own workplace stories similar to Kets, a few of whom claimed to work at Target.

One TikToker wrote: ‘A goal I was working on, for 3 days I was doing management tasks that I wasn’t trained for, just told that’s what I was supposed to do – the goal is a mess.’

The TheWSTNews has contacted Target for comment.
