Added a former Target employee, “They were one of the most supportive employers I’ve everhad when [it comes] to pumping. I got a private space, didn’t have to take the time out of my regular break, and my bosses usually had some snacks and something to drink waiting in there. Retail is brutal but Target was honestly amazing.”
“I nursed in the outdoor furniture section, and had a couple staff members make sure I was comfortable,” wrote another member of the group.
