Thought I'd start up a thread for this year. I've already heard that the group that used to help organize it and rev up the crowd won't be present this year. Essentially it's "DIY" and with how few people left at my store who've worked the BTC event, I have the distinct feeling that it's going...

I'm cross-training into Deli and I've noticed that food safety seems rather lax. Half-filled snackers sit around for an extended period of time, waiting to be done. Hands aren't washed every time a new pair of gloves gets put on. The only time deli slicers and cutting boards get...

Anyone else getting dozens of calls about the $99.99 TMNT toy that was marked down to $14.99 for the week? They've been pulled from the shelves at my store and locked in the STL's office. Had one lady call 5 times when Hardlines kept giving her the answer of "they've been recalled" over the...

I have an ETL who doesn't lock the exit doors at the end of the night and then just sends people out through those 30-60 minutes after the lights go down. They're new (really new) and I can't help but wonder if this is against company policy. After all, anyone could come waltzing in any time...

It's the weekend and I want to take care of this ASAP... but Target help can't be contacted until Monday after 9 central. How do I change my status on file from Tobacco User to non-user? The "Long Term Disability" line has me paying Target because they assume everybody uses tobacco.

How many of you had hell with the Cyber Monday stuff? Evidently some items were "in store only" that were listed for the online only deal prices. Our store wasn't honoring the cyber Monday prices listed in the ad for "in-store only" items... How did your store handle it, if you had any problems...

In my store, it's common for regular (experienced) Team Members in SL to construct zone lists and direct the zone. After reading the "levels" thread, I'm now curious. Is it common in other stores for TMs to be in charge of other TMs? We often don't have a SLTL or brand TM closing in softlines...

Has anyone else been having issues with the new PDAs sometimes typing random letters while you're typing in numbers? A couple of times now, I've had a new PDA make it impossible to do rewrap because I couldn't get the DPCI typed in or I couldn't even get to the appropriate app.

Between hour cuts, call-ins, NCNS, and graduation and mother's day traffic, our store looks like a pit. So, obviously, it's the best time for a visit! I didn't get specifics about who walked our store, but I suspect it was a DTL because of what they said. They stated that we couldn't use hour...

Have any of you had a Canadian item returned to your store? Was it an item your Target normally carries? Did you repackage it? How? My store recently got a softlines item and the number on the tag wasn't the usual DPCI. We just made a new tag with the normal barcode and put it out on the...

Is it just me or have people gotten less intelligent when it comes to using carts this year? I've seen a lot more awkward and dangerous use of carts, I know, but has anyone else? I've seen: young adults and teens in general riding in the basket, children riding on the underside of carts...

Yes, a Target ad with a Christmas theme had already landed, perhaps even on your own TV screen. So much for 2010's smug "we'll wait until after Thanksgiving"... I find this ridiculous, but I know people are getting their Christmas shopping right now. Here's the Ad Age article. And here's...

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune published an article today about how Target is going to be hiring 2,000 to 12,000 fewer seasonal TMs this year. Is this good? Bad? Just plain ugly? My first thought was "Oh no." but after skimming the article and seeing Target's official statement, it sounds like...

I just wanted to make a post and thought that this would be the most constructive for the moment... I'm a Softlines Team Member of 4 years looking at shifting over to Starbucks or stepping entirely out of employment at Target to start a real career. I have been lurking here for a little while...
