    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    I wonder how much sales pressure we're gonna have to use with our guests at checkout to meet "goals" for these "improvements". Our guests who want to watch the prices of the items as we ring them up are not amused by the "speed bumps" we put in their way: Respond to our reminder to input...

    When will the Cash only SCO option be available for all stores?

    Having a Cash-Only SCO register would be very desirable, as it could be truly customized with state-of-the-art technology for handling the acceptance and disbursement of paper currency bills. It would essentially meet the robustness standard of a bank-branch ATM. The SCO attendant would be...

    Couldn't be happier

    I can't begin to imagine the stress you were under at the time: I'm bolding the phrase "I was calling the shots" not because of your ironic choice of words but to begin to grasp the seriousness of your situation. Was this an active shooter situation or a scenario where the gun-carrying vendor...

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    One thing that's missing from Circle 360, which is included with Amazon Prime and Walmart+ is entertainment benefits. Amazon Prime includes a free curated selection of thousands of videos including Amazon Studios productions like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Walmart+ includes a free Paramount+...

    circle 360 + circle card (RIP RedCard)

    Will Target finally integrate the Redcard Reloadable -- nka Circle Card Reloadable -- so it can is eligible for TM discount online? Currently, unlike Redcard Credit and Redcard debit, Reloadable is only accepted in-store for TM discount and not online. This is a pity because Redcard Reloadable...

    2024 up&up Refresh and dealworthy Launch

    When Smartly was launched, the publicity was that the new product line was the maximum-value-for-dollar brand for cost-conscious consumers. I just don't see the need for yet another "uber-economy" brand name. Doesn't this seem like yet another gee-whiz marketing gimmick, reshuffling the deck...

    Can AP ask anyone for a merchandise receipt?

    Costco isn't open to the general public, strictly speaking. When you pay for a Costco membership, you agree to their terms and conditions. In other words, you have a contract with Costco for the right to shop in their warehouses. This is also true with other membership-type stores, such as...

    Slow zebra

    Same issue at my store as well. We won't find out why, but it's likely that a recent security patch left this as an unintended side effect.

    Stanley stainless mugs

    Stanley tumblers and bottles Like I said, neither Stanley nor Target describes these items as being a "cup". To normal sane people, a cup is much smaller than a tumbler, a bottle or a mug. Perhaps that is the brain size of some self-annointed social media "influencers" who mistakenly call these...

    Stanley stainless mugs

    Some bozo on social media thought it cute to refer to the Stanley stainless tumblers and mugs as a "Stanley Cup". There ought to be a special place in Hades for that bozo. Seattle is now a big hockey town with the Kraken, with some hockey merch, so this gets to be really frustrating when...

    A Message For Corporate

    Our store offered price matching on Black Friday. Obviously, this involved verifying that the item was not a BF special, was not sold by a "marketplace-type" vendor and was in-stock. I was told it was okay to price match and did so on a couple of items.

    Stores Closing, Sadly No Surprise

    As someone who spends about half of my daily shift monitoring SCO, the shoplifting I have personally seen is very rarely food items. Nearly every shoplifter I've observed has a SNAP card (food stamps) and pays for their food items with SNAP. I've often seen them start a separate purchase for...

    Bonuses

    No bonus, notwithstanding hard work and performance. Good reason to look at jobs at another company. Soon.

    Anyone quit Target for much better retail stores (Macy's, Kohls, & Primark), and even better opportunities like for pursuing jobs in teaching

    I don't believe what you're saying. Target offers to all TMs the TM Discount (10% off, plus an extra 20% on certain wellness items), albeit it's restricted to certain payment types -- cash, check, RedCard, Target Credit Union card, Focus payroll card. Your claim that "a small cup of Starbucks...

    Reasons to get fired

    Not necessarily. It's quite possible that Target offered the termed ETL a severance package, with "strings attached" in the form of a written settlement agreement. Assuming that the ETL accepted the severance package, those settlement agreements often include signing away their right to sue...

    working at starbucks alone

    I've often been puzzled at how often our Starbucks has only a single barista TM. Our Starbucks definitely does a good volume of business -- it's the Seattle area, after all -- so I just don't get why we don't have enough payroll hours for keeping up with demand. Corporate-owned Starbucks...

    Lawsuit against Target over warranties and "protection plans"

    Best answer. I vaguely remember Target offering "Target Protect" coverage years ago, but it wasn't until about 4 years ago after these became SquareTrade plans that this became a "speed bump" during checkout. What Target is peddling at the checkout lanes isn't a warranty. It's a type of...

    Holiday Pay

    Revisiting this, it is strange that most TMs only get paid for two holidays per year. Period. "Premium Pay" is not a "paid holiday".
