- She wrote in one of her video clips that she had only been working at the store for two months
- She claimed that her manager had left work earlier that day
A TikToker and Target employee found herself in a tough situation after she was allegedly left to manage the entire store by herself.
Ket, who’s known as @ketaminelorde on TikTok, posted a video of her supposed experience of running the store without a manager.
‘I’m gonna somehow have to close out 24 registers, guest services, and self checkout… I’m gonna have to close the store by myself,’ she stated, explaining that she was one of the only people who knew how to close out a register… while admitting that she had no clue how to process a return.
‘I don’t know what the f*** 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 abandoned to manage the entire store 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.
The website reads that Target ‘develops practices and policies’ to help their employees ‘thrive in the workplace.’
@ketaminelorde appeared to not feel like she was thriving after she allegedly ran the store by herself after her manager left work at 3:00.
‘It’s happening whether I like it or not. Literally girl interrupted,’ she wrote in her video.
@ketaminelorde also took photos of herself while she was away from customers and even wrote ‘help’ in one of her pictures.

A former Target employee wrote on Glassdoor that they were allowed to take one 30 minute break and two 15 minute breaks.
It’s unclear if Ket’s store offers employees the same break policy, but she was seemingly annoyed with a co-worker who did not return from theirs while the manager was away.
According to the 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 employee to go back to work.
The TikToker continued to take photos of herself in the store and she left work at 11:45 that night.
‘Get to come back here for a shift at 7am tomorrow – yay!,’ she added.
Other TikTok users have been feeling bad since the incident but one user dissed her for taking selfies at work.

More than one TikToker suggested that Ket make her Target superiors give her a bonus for unexpectedly running the store.
Ket, who responded to comments made on her video, claimed that Target did not give her extra compensation.
‘Girl I would’ve been on the phone to the store director! absolutely do not get paid enough for this I’m so sorry,’ one person wrote.
Other users told their own workplace stories that were similar to Ket’s, a few of them claiming that they worked at Target.
A TikToker wrote: ‘One target i worked at, 3 days in i was doing manager duties that i wasn’t trained for just told that’s what i needed to do – target is a mess.’
Daily Mail has reached out to Target for comment.
