    Archived Electronic Merchandise Pre-orders (specifically game consoles)

    I realize there were online pre-orders for the system and stores are clearly just doing first come first serve. Now the question turns to games. Are we getting pre-order cards for Switch games soon?

    Archived Electronic Merchandise Pre-orders (specifically game consoles)

    Well, everything I've heard points to Target not doing in store pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch...and while we still have the Zelda pre-order cards for the Wii U version of the game, I haven't seen anything for Switch games. Anyone else hear anything?

    Yeah, I saw it online the night it was announced and the following day. I'm going to ask my Team Leaders next time I see them.

    So I've had several guests today ask if we're doing Nintendo Switch pre-orders. No one knows....lol Has anyone else heard about this?

    Archived Electronic Merchandise Pre-orders (specifically game consoles)

    I went ahead and pre-ordered at GameStop for both the Nintendo Switch and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Special Edition. I can't trust that Target will sort this out. While I would love to use my discount, I'm not waiting in line for this thing or taking any chances.

    Good evening forum goers! So even though I've cumulatively spent years working in Electronics and even oversaw the launch of the Wii and PS3 back in the day...this go around with Spot I have yet to hear anything about console pre-orders. Is it a thing? I would prefer to get my Nintendo Switch...

    What is Branch Messenger? And is it widely used? I would love to give up some Electronics shifts. I've got 17 hours over 3 shifts next week. I'd be happier with maybe 12 hours and 2 days.

    Archived Ad and Substitution Questions

    Hi everyone! I swapped a shift with another Electronics Team Member who always comes in early on Sundays to help with ad. The last time I helped with ad was nearly 7 years ago. Are there any tips or resources that someone can offer here? On that same note, a guest asked me the other day if I...

    Archived Electronics Resources

    So I finally started my seasonal run with Target and had my orientation on Sunday. I've had one evening of "training" as a cashier and one in electronics. It's all coming back to me now and I'm feeling very comfortable in my store and my role. The one caveat is that it has been YEARS since...

    Archived Drug testing for seasonal cashiers?

    I just went through orientation yesterday (3rd time now lol) and none of us had a drug test. We were told the store only does it if they find a good reason to or anytime someone passes out at work.

    Archived Target's Huddles are a ridiculous waste of time

    I wasn't going to say anything considering everyone else already responded with a strong counter argument to your rather immature rant...BUT I feel the need to point out that with that kind of attitude you have little chance of making something of yourself. If you want to succeed you need to...

    Archived When does Target open on Thanksgiving?

    So lets say Targets opening at 6pm Thanksgiving Day (since I've yet to hear anything official) what time does everyone expect to be at their store? 4? 5? And will Target close and then reopen on Friday or go all night? I've been out of the loop with "Black Friday" for several years now...

    @phibot Agreed on all points. In the days when I was an "Electronics Specialists" I did everything in my area...everything. I think the most I made during those years was like $9.50/hr

    Lol, oh yeah...it was so rare any showed up in the middle of the day. Happened a couple times though Like @sher we started letting the operator know first thing in the morning so we didn't have to deal with all of the calls throughout the day. People would even stop in on a daily basis and ask...

    Archived BLACK FRIDAY

    @Hardlinesmaster It's no big deal, I'm not being literal at all. It will probably be a long weekend but that's why I took a second job, to make some more money.

    Archived BLACK FRIDAY

    @Hardlinesmaster They know my availability... what I'm worried about though is working really late on Thanksgiving and then having to get up and go to work on Friday and most likely back to Target Friday night. :eek:

    Archived BLACK FRIDAY

    Same here. I no longer worked for Target when they started pushing into Thanksgiving Day. The earliest I remember going into work was probably 2 or 3 in the morning on Black Friday. "Black Friday" is probably the one thing I'm not looking forward to this season, especially considering I'll have...

    @PassinTime ...WOW...when did you start? I remember making that much at Target 10 years ago. Back then they certainly never made it clear just how "important" selling the RedCard would be. I certainly hope they've improved their communication regarding expectations. I have orientation for this...

    ^ I feel you would have to, at least during the holiday shopping season. Similar to not be able to hold an item if they call the store inquiring about it.
