I was looking for the old Target Sucks forum I used to browse back in 03-04. I don't remember if TBR was one of the google results or if one of the other Target hate sites linked to it.

Which is why I consider modernization to be a giant flop. Rather than come up with a modern streamlined process that takes less time to complete and cut accordingly, they rolled out some half-assed process that was somehow even more time consuming than the old way, gutted the shit out of...

You could have an average wait time of less than 10 seconds and the lanes are still going to be the number one complaint. The cashiers are the only people that help literally every single paying guest that walks through the door. On the floor, I might have to help about 1 out of 10. The sheer...

I flat out refuse to use self checkout. I am not going to contribute to the corporate idea of "why pay for a cashier when we can have the customers do our work for free?"

To be fair, a lot of of paper comes in as PIPO and can sell surprisingly fast. 16 (depending on the store's sales volume and truck schedule) might be a decent trigger point to send the next pallet. My store could blow through paper on a busy day and I have pulled multiple pallets worth for an...

Those were the days.

Lots of small items + huge demand = it's going to be trashed constantly. Trying to do a good zone of seasonal when the store is even remotely busy is a waste of time. Your basic priority should be something like this: 1. Help guests/answer calls. 2. Pick up any items from floor and add to...

I wholeheartedly agree. I've complained several times on here and probably hundreds of times while I worked for Target that the logistics process would be FAR more efficient if we stopped overloading stores with junk we don't need. I'll repost a couple of my experiences below: I've said...

We would use nearby space until we had spare time to adjust the sections dedicated to different items. Of course, the days of having payroll to use on housekeeping projects is long gone. Customize the profile in a way that helps prevent exact same looking product from being backstocked...

We had been subdividing aisles of our stockroom for many many years. It works pretty well when properly executed as it saved a ton of time. By keeping all the floor cleaners together in the stockroom, it means they will be pulled together in autofills/CAFs/etc and thereby placed together on a...

Keeping seasonal zoned is nearly impossible 75% of the year. Push the freight, take care of reshop, fix any major eyesores and forget about even doing any of that because there's 98752634 guests griping that you're out of manilla paper. A water bottle filled with vodka helps.

The needle on it will make more of a difference than anything.

I don't work for Target anymore.

Lol. I guess you've never heard the term "performanced out". When you look hard enough, anybody can be doing something wrong at any time. If you absolutely can't find anything wrong, you give them tasks that are impossible to finish and document it when they fail until it's enough to justify...

Eventually, some corporate dude is going to watch this clip and "Modernization" will become "Specialization" and be an excuse to gut even more hours. You only need to watch about 30 seconds from where the video plays. This is exactly why Modernization doesn't work for most stores. Having...

This was a while ago; predating Zebras. I also no longer work for Target.

I agree to a certain extent and that has always been my chief complaint regarding modernization. They should have started by fixing our supply chain operations first. They could have saved a ton of hours at the store level years ago if they had set up a JIT supply system and move on from...

When I first started at Target, manual ordering in grocery was a thing but it was being whittled away. All of perishables, dairy, frozen, and about half of dry was manually ordered.

Product lead time should only dictate the amount kept at the DCs. Most stores have a truck schedule where as long as product is at the DC, the lead time is only a day or two once the stock drops below the amount necessary for replenishment. It is far more efficient for a pallet of a certain...
