    Sales Floor Let's meet in the Middle; an Electronics/Tech thread

    It's annoying, I know. But everything is data driven. August is the busiest month for book sales- https://www.statista.com/statistics/207468/monthly-retail-sales-of-us-book-stores/ And it's a huge jump up from July, that's why there's a huge jump in freight.

    If kids have required summer reading, demand for books will go up, so they'll send more books over.

    Different regions do it differently. June 27 is the last day at my local school district. Then starts again the first week of September.

    "welcome to Target. Relax and enjoy the summertime vibes."

    One summer when the AC was REALLY messed up, I literally went in the freezer to cool down. Like every shift.

    To be fair- K-12 schools are ending in a week. They will have required summer reading, so that probably explains the large shipment.

    Rant : I'm a depressed cart attendant. Wanna move positions but nobody ever listens to me

    I know it's an old post, but regarding the headphones thing- there was a legal issue at my store because of a hazard involving a guest, and the cart attendant not hearing it. I'm leaving out tons of specifics intentionally for legal reasons, but if you have your headphones on, it's difficult to...

    Funny, it was the opposite at my store

    "welcome to Target. Relax and enjoy the summertime vibes."

    I was going to say, "enjoy the summertime heat stroke"

    Westinghouse used to be a good brand, right? Same with Sharp. They used to make premium TVs that were really good. Quite a downfall for them. They still make decent TVs, but they're all outsourced budget ones, no different from Vizio and TCL. Which are good for the price, but Sharp used to be...

    Tear up the store I guess

    Some teenagers stole some gel blasters today, but they forgot to take the pellets, the most important part lol. I'm guessing they probably already stole some pellets though.

    Insta post. Check it out

    My thoughts exactly. Side note, my store is going to look like this very soon because Thursday is my last week, another closing expert just put in their 2 weeks, another one's going to quit in July, and another one is quitting in August. So we'll only have 3 closing experts employed. Maybe 2...

    Accommodations - Learn and Earn!

    Got a free K375 Logitech keyboard though the SellPro proshop. Perfect departing give from Target, the place at my new job will provide me a laptop for work and the external keyboard will be handy with a monitor, plus the numerical pad will make inputting numbers easier.

    I like the fact that he at least advocated for guests putting things back the way they found it, hopefully some people listen.

    Our store music not the most family friendly at times.

    Tons of Taylor Swift. And you know what, I wouldn't mind it.

    Goodbye Target!

    It's so sad. I remember it used to be common to have one person zoning baby, one person zoning seasonal, and 2 people in tech. Now, one person has to zone baby and seasonal and cover tech during breaks because they never have more than one person there.

    Goodbye Target!

    Yeah they don't seem to run it that often. Either that or it's broken. Those outdoor thermometers we sell always has the dial showing at least 80 degrees on hot days.

    Goodbye Target!

    Turnover itself isn't going to kill Target. But now the issue we have is long time employees are quitting, and those roles aren't being filled in. I don't know if they're intentionally not filling the roles to save payroll or if no one is applying, but either way, customer service is going...

    Goodbye Target!

    Once all the loyal team members leave is when Target really starts to go down the tubes. They say employees in retail are replaceable, but eventually no one's going to continue working. I've never seen new employee turnover so bad. Customer service will suffer as a result and people will stop...
