    Christmas display sale special terms?

    Interesting points. Maybe Corporate didn't give much thought to the time deadlines imposed on stores for the Christmas Morning Magic transition. So in this case it seems that one store's fire sale on Christmas stuff occurred on Tuesday December 2nd, which seems really odd. What's really...

    A Visit in 2025

    Interesting that no ETLs or TLs offered any thoughts on this. Some of the "Store Modernization" stuff has been quietly dropped, replaced as you said. Theoretically we still have DBOs for different sections of the store....

    Christmas display sale special terms?

    I wonder who in leadership made that decision? Does your store's SD know about this? Were these items put out on the sales floor for guests at the same 90 percent off before your TLs and TMs bought up all the stuff? Ethics concerns anyone?

    Accommodations Request - Hour Reduction

    You have valid concerns. Keep in mind that your eligibility for Target's health plan is based on your previous year's 52-week average weekly hours worked. Every year at the time of open enrollment (February), your eligibility is based on your previous year's figure as of the final paycheck of...

    MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

    Yes to that, but in spite of the crowded shelves, maybe it's not completely by accident? 🎅 Ho-Ho-Ho!

    So long dear friend

    At our store the devices and holsters are in a shared-access room, you check them out and in every shift. So from one day to the next, I don't know which one I'll be using. It sounds like your location these are assigned to you. Cool story!

    How many Target stores are attached to an enclosed shopping mall?

    Of the 20 Target stores in the greater Seattle metro area, to my knowledge, I can only think of 3 which are attached to an enclosed shopping mall - one where you can walk into Target from the mall walkways, and out from Target into the mall. There are a few others attached to a strip mall or a...

    Why???? Why isn't the focus on providing a better shopping experience in the existing Target stores? Minneapolis retailer plans new large-format stores From one of the comments to that article:

    Electronic price tags

    There's an Amazon Fresh supermarket not too far away from some of our local Targets. Similar to how Amazon.com operates, the prices shown on the electronic price tags at Amazon Fresh are frequently changed. At times they have incredible bargain prices, then you come back three days later and...

    The skeleton crew thing is getting really old really fast

    Our reshop area is behind Guest Services, it's pretty tight and feels like a submarine. The bins are inadequate for the quantity and bulk of reshop pieces. Stuff sometimes gets shoved on upper shelves or in piles on the floor. More seriously, another area directly behind Guest Services is the...

    How many Target stores are attached to an enclosed shopping mall?

    Target has over 2,000 stores around most areas of the US. Most of the ones I've seen when traveling are either stand-alone stores, or attached to a "strip mall" alongside other stores. Any idea how many Targets are actually a part of an enclosed shopping mall, where there's a specific mall entry...

    To That One Guest - II

    Washington State imposes a user fee on plastic bags. It's 8 cents plus 1 cent sales tax, so it's 9 cents. While about a fourth of our guests bring in their own bag, and a majority don't want a bag and just carry their items or place them back in their cart, about a fourth of guests purchase our...

    TBR PSA

    Quite a few years at Target, I want to retain some anonymity. While my personal sense of well-being has greatly improved over the last year, and I actually have enjoyed my job much more than in the past, the recent decline in scheduled work hours storewide has been painful to see. I see many...

    Remembering Commiecorvus - Our Friend

    I still mourn his passing. He really loved TBR and had real empathy towards those of us currently working at Target as well as Target alumni.

    TBR PSA

    I actually still work as a TM at a Target in Washington state. I haven't been as involved here as in the past.

    Look who's back!

    I'm fairly happy at my store, at least for now. However, companywide reductions in payroll hours impair our best efforts to provide the service, products on shelves, and overall shopping experience which Americans see as the Target brand promise. Fancy way of saying: is the company being...

    To Target - General Feedback About Anything

    Drive-Up contributes tension and disruption to the guest experience for the shop-in-store guests. Once that (rhymes with) rammed 3-minute timer goes off, the Drive-Up TMs gotta make sure that everything was prepped properly and in the three-tier, including cooler and frozen items, then get...

    The skeleton crew thing is getting really old really fast

    Sorry for my late reply, I don't log into this forum frequently. I'm beyond jaw-dropping stunned at what you are saying. Using kind language, I can't comprehend the logic. This is a remote guess on my part, and if this is true they won't tell you, but maybe at some point the District manager or...

    MEGATHREAD Target shares tumble as retailer picks new CEO, says sales fell again

    That's been my impression as well. Personally, I've actually made some effort to follow the 10-4 guidelines and it has probably helped our guests enjoy shopping here a bit. However, there are certain tasks such as Drive-Ups (which involve multiple steps and which are strictly timed) where it...
