It would be awesome if Target pushed opening back to Friday. I don't see why that couldn't happen this year. Just keep the doors locked until midnight. If there's signage that needs to be changed, send us some stickers to place over "6pm Thursday" that say "12am Friday". Plus it wouldn't force everyone to choose between Target & the competition. Everyone can shop the competition first, and still come to Target.
Then they should just skip Thursday and make it Wednesday. Maybe next year.It would be awesome if Target pushed opening back to Friday. I don't see why that couldn't happen this year.

This doesn't work. I forget the figure but people spend the vast majority of their bf money at the first stop.
Think spot will open earlier than 9 this year? Wouldn't be surprised.
I have an idea that could make that better.Think spot will open earlier than 9 this year? Wouldn't be surprised.
I would love if Target ran a whole ad campaign that basically said "This year, we're letting our team members spend time with their families. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! BLACK FRIDAY 2014: Doors open at (i don't know a time)"
That would be some good publicity.

"This year we're letting our Team Members spend time with their families, and we encourage YOU TO DO THE SAME!! For waiting until ____ you will be able to get an extra __% off between __ and ___! "
Like another poster said, people will spend most of their money at the first store, so what if Target was able to offset that somehow and make Target a good deal for waiting?
I'm wondering what my hard-coded "unavailable" on Thursday and Friday will mean in my store. Thursday is also my birthday... I will work Friday, but not Thursday. I will not bear my mothers wrath.... Last year I wasn't asked, or in on the sign-up sheets and such because I was in the pharmacy
Really, I'm just hoping my new 2nd job works out because then it because my only job in a month or so. Then it won't matter....
I would like to be ASKED what I can do around my needs, as I do have it coded that way for a reason. Thursday has been unavailable since I was hired a year ago, Friday since June.Unless you have a really good reason, and clear it well in advance, they will probably want you to come in regardless of your availability. Granted I think you're still technically in the clear so to speak... Don't know how that would sit with them though.

And considering my dad is in the end of a cancer fight, and it might be the last birthday/thanksgiving I have with him.... Um, I will just give my notice if it comes down to it.
I think I will go talk to my ETL-HR about it when we work at the same time next.
