    Spring Sales Meeting

    Does that mean guests could apply for the Debit Circle Card in-store without giving us a paper check? I haven't seen or heard anything serious about this. I wish guests could apply for the Reloadable Circle Card in-store. While the Circle Credit Card and Circle Debit Card are issued/managed by...

    New Rollouts for 2025?

    Very true indeed.

    Stanley stainless mugs

    Sometime around the beginning of 2025, I noticed that sales at checkout of Stanley stainless mugs/tumblers dramatically decreased. What once had been a HUUUUGGGGGE seller apparently no longer is the must-have glamour status symbol. Apparently the infatuation bubble burst against the Stanley...

    New Rollouts for 2025?

    When an organization describes management and policy changes with verbage such as "transformation", "reform" and "modernization", one can be hopeful and optimistic but also skeptical. How many times throughout human history are we reminded of two truths 1) The Law of Unintended Consequences 2)...

    Corporate Does Target truly care?

    Target is a company. They are in a dog-eat-dog competitive business. Unfortunately, they are sacrificing the fundamentals which made Target so brilliantly successful for quite a few years. IMHO, those fundamentals include: 1) Quick checkout with a real human being who helps create a...

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

    Does anybody in your store go around late Saturday or early Sunday and actually pull down the expired promotional sales signs from the prior week? This seems to be getting worse at our store, and causes some embarrassing moments at the checkout lanes where a guest claims they should have gotten...

    MEGATHREAD myDay app

    The new app has serious problems. One of the worst is when a pending Drive Up is being prepped, one TM preps the regular merchandise bags and scans them into the appropriate tier while you gotta wait until the guest shows up to prep the Cooler and Freezer items. Often the TM who started the prep...

    Target walkie talkies

    Methinks that "friend" needs to get off his butt and return those walkies back to Target ASAP. Just bring them to the Service Desk and give them to the Team Lead, apologize, and in all likelihood the store will truly appreciate returning those walkies. If the "friend" doesn't have the integrity...

    MEGATHREAD Remembering Commiecorvus - Our Friend

    I am grateful for many things about Commie's participation here. He will be missed. It's been awhile since I came in here, and recall seasonaldude and Tessa120 quite fondly.

    Strongly agree, this can't be stressed enough.

    Does Target hire Senior Citizens?

    I'm proud to say (hey, this is Pride month, isn't it?) that I'd be considered a senior citizen and have worked the checkout lanes, self checkouts, service desk, order pickup and drive-up for a few years. I take particular pride in efficiently handling our drive-up orders and doing everything...

    MEGATHREAD Remembering Commiecorvus - Our Friend

    I haven't been on this site in many months, though I still work at Target as a grade 35 in S&E in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. Some time ago, I posted frequently at TBR. I had a few disagreements with Peter, but have enormous respect for the work he played in developing this web...

    target optical

    Target doesn't actually own or operate Target Optical locations. Target Brands leases the "Target" Optical brand and in-store locations to a big international conglomerate called Luxxotica They are so big a company that they help keep eyewear prices up.

    Change in store hours

    Greater Seattle area - glancing at 20 Target stores' hours: One store is open 07:00 AM to 10:00 PM Nineteen stores are 08:00 AM to 10:00 PM

    circle 360 + circle card (RIP RedCard)

    A paradox of re-branding and re-positioning the delivery service from Shipt to Target Circle 360, making it appear to be head-to-head competition with Amazon Prime and Walmart+, is that Target's delivery personnel rely on tips unlike the Amazon and Walmart delivery folks. Target neglects to...

    Team Voice Survey

    It's that time of year again - coming soon to your Target location. The strange thing about the Team Voice Survey is: the team is not allowed to see the results! It seems like they don't trust team members very much. The surveys are developed by an outfit called "Great Place to Work". How...

    Service & Engagement Changes in return policy?

    While it's obvious that my ETL fell for an April Fools' Day joke, there is a good case that Target's return policies are perhaps too lenient for this day and age. Social media empowers people how to exploit the one-year-return window on owned-brand children's clothes, Hallowe'en costumes...

    Circle Week and the new Circle

    Looking at today's Weekly Ad for this Circle Week, we may be seeing the impact on non-Circle members. Each and every sale-priced item in the current Weekly Ad requires Circle. There are no promotional sales offers shown which don't require Circle. I don't know if future Weekly Ads will mirror...

    Service & Engagement Changes in return policy?

    My TL told me Friday that Target is implementing a rather drastic reduction of days allowed for guest product returns. Currently, most items can be returned within 90 days of purchase, with some exceptions (i.e. tech products 30 days, Apple products 14 days, special clothing-designer partnership...
