Target Corporation Ripoff Barred from all Target Stores for opposing, protesting, or complaining about my legal or civil rights as an African-American male Kansas City Missouri

I can understand the team leader Becky or other CTLS putting me on carts if they where not enough cart attendants but I remember that several times there where plenty of cart attendants out there. One week I was on carts for a week because of Becky's bosses hearing that I complained of other issues in the workplace.

Firing a employee because they opposed some unlawful practice or barring them is basically called a form of retaliation. I preformed additional duties because I was forced too or otherwise they where going to fire me anyway. As far as the barring goes I think it was due to my race, size, and appearance. It seems like they think that any black male who comes in that Target Store and shows ample proof with their resume and references that argues with them in an intelligent manner in a non-threatening is still labeled as a threat to them even if he is isn't doing anything wrong. That is one thing I have never seen is that there are not any black males in the Target Stores in Overland Park, KS or Olathe, KS working in the higher leadership positions.

I would have gladly took any job that Target offered me that I was qualified for so according to Target, Target said I quit the job so according them I was never fired from Target. Has Target rehired anyone who has been fired from there before? Yes, many times. The trepassing law is just a nice way of saying that you have no legal rights at all or their legal loophole they use to get you off their property. I had witnesses there who where also my friends and they didn't deem me as intimidating enough to be barred from a Target Store and even there own employees where there as witnesses. When I asked Target's attorney what witnesses or anyone that he had who could testify against me, he could not give me an answer at all.

So I guess since he could not verify it with any witnesses or a legal document or police report with some criminal conviction or a violation of Target Store security policies then I guess I was right. I am glad that I am not working there anymore there are other jobs or companies to work for, sometimes I think about and I think that things happen for a good reason. However I received a raise there on my last day of work so other companies or jobs cannot tell Target that they can't hire me for a job because Target is reporitn some illegal or bad reference. If I did the same thing to them I would be fired from my job in second there, of course if I did that then I am no better than them.

Stacey, you stated " First I complained to her about being put in carts a lot and my main job was cashier and not a cart attendant."

This alone is reason to terminate you. No matter what retailer you work for, or what position they hire you for, you will be expected to perform additional duties as required. For example, the manager is not hired as a cashier - if NO cashiers show for work on one day who do you believe will most likely be ringing customers up - the manager.

As for being "barred" from all Target stores - it is private property - every city has a trespassing ordinance - if the party in control of the property deems you are undesireable and you enter the premisses you are trespassing.

I worked for Target for 6 years. I left there earlier this year and found a much better job with a different retailer. I was involved with the AP department.

I can tell you from experience that Target will claim they are "protecting" team members and guests. They do this by trespassing everyone that they want to by labeling them as a "threat." Usually these people are not threats but they feel that it is easier to just ban them from the store than deal with it.

Also, you would be surprised what is said in their executive team lead meetings. Team members are talked about and usually profiled as being "worthless" or "we need to start the process" on them. Usually all it takes is one instance of an ETL to not like you and then they speak about you in a meeting. Next thing you know you are labeled as a trouble team member.

I've seen it over and over, they will come up with a plan to make you quit or write you up on something. Being in AP, I've even been asked by the store team leader to find something on team members so they could terminate them.

Target has a lot of unfair and unethical practices, too many for me to list. I would not recommend anyone work for them. It caused me a lot of stress and even health issues. You will have NO job security with that company.

As for your problem in KC, I am familiar with that market and I can tell you that they have had lawsuits in the past for discrimination.
