    Archived Target Tech (plus mobile) Issues

    Activations as they are now don’t usually fail if TM’s know what they are doing, the only issue I see from a corporate level is that with a consumer cellular activation a TM might spend 3 hours to only sell 75 bucks worth of product, so it’s not worth it when the same TM could push a TV sale or...

    Archived Target Tech (plus mobile) Issues

    I was thinking that because selling phones for consumer cellular has actually been a lot of fun, except because of bad transfer software the guests end up waiting hours for the process to complete. The ROC phone support team has also been pretty spotty lately with the reps often deflecting blame...

    Archived Target Tech (plus mobile) Issues

    So I started at a Pilot store back in May working in a plus mobile tech dept. and it seems like there are some glitches that need to be worked out. I wanted to make this thread to see if this was a nationwide or just isolated to my store. Since I started working, we have had pretty noticeable...

    I think another key to this is actually being good at your job, it seems like leaders will only schedule people during scenarios where they see that person doing well. Those closing shifts can be good hours and sometimes at my store it’s just the store leader and 5-7 other TM’s, it’s no secret...

    Inwou I would post shifts but I stumbled my way into a 4 person tech team, between us there isn’t any room for a 15 hour schedule. I said during my interview that I would be flexible and it’s up to me to live up to that

    That makes sense, but all of those reasons still apply without the pay increase. I’ve worked front end for a year and sales floor for a year so I do know how the shifts differ. I just know that when the pay was $10/hr there were more people on the sales floor doing nothing then there are now, I...

    Mathematically the hour cuts everyone is experiencing don’t make very much sense. Doesn’t the store have to always have team members working in certain positions? In that case there will always be hours to go around. Target would pay less to have 1 cashier working an 8 hour then to have 2...

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

    But see what I was getting at is that 4K players and Consoles (usually) come with a cable that supports their output. Microsoft isn’t gonna sell a 500 dollar 4K powerhouse but only give you a 1080p rated HDMI cable. I think what ends up happening is the guest will end up throwing out a perfectly...

    Yeah we are having to do EXF like crazy today because all of our DVD capacity’s got changed to 53 so the auto pull was absolutely insane.

    I haven’t gotten much into the color space settings, I don’t much care for Sony’s settings interface on my pro, the xbone just lets you check a box and then you have hdr so I haven’t gone into the advanced settings, I do know that my LG OLED does recognize that it’s in HDR and it is 4K 60 so my...

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

    Like the CNET article said there are 2 distinctions: standard and high speed. High speed cables are very common now and are included with almost everything, if the guest had an ancient standard speed cable that’s probably the issue. The thing I’m getting at here is there is no “4K cable” there’s...

    Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I don’t think our 13 copies of black ops 3 for the 360 are doing target any good by sitting in the closet gathering dust.

    I have been using an off the shelf 5 dollar hdmi cable from amazon and I am successfully getting 4K HDR 60fps from my Xbox one X, my PC also is doing the same to the monitor with an HDMI cable that came with an old TV from 2009. I’m sure there are situations where a special cable is needed but...

    My store has a lot of old merchandise in the electronics stock room that takes up a lot of space, so much in fact that our games for the switch are all the way at the end of the closet. Is this a problem at other stores, like having iPad 2’s and old Xbox 360/ PS3 games? I’ve run the idea of...

    My store doesn’t have the TCL’s on the normal demo real, they have their own videos produced by TCL that play so HDMI migration isn’t an issue, I would maybe take the tv out of store mode and just switch the input to the one with the demo

    A lot of guests go off of the displays and see what’s the best bang for the buck. I would only take the workbench training with a grain of salt because they neglect to tell you things and also lie about products to force you into overselling. To anyone selling 4K TVs there is NO such thing as a...

    Isn’t the new end to end pilot addressing that, my store has been on with all the changes and we get yelled at for not saying hi to a guest even if they are on the phone. I think if anything they’ve gone overboard on customer service.

    I first started working for Target at the location nearest to me, but respectfully quit due to management scheduling issues. I now started a new job working at a store further away and I just learned from an old friend that my old stores management has all been changed because of the previous...

    Interesting, I haven’t worked for Target long enough to see how the PDA’s work. We still have them in our supply closet and I see people from food using them but I don’t know if it’s because of a specific application or just preference.
