I actually have two questions, if you are uncomfortable answering them that's okay!
Back story: I had an ETL once disappear from the store for 'personal reasons'. Some said it was because his long time boyfriend dumped him, others said that it was because he was intentionally cutting the hours...
The thing that would concern me the most is being thrown under the bus by a TL/ETL for failing to do what's right even after they were the ones that told you to put unsafe food on the floor. The same sorts of things happen in food ave. For me, I just don't want to be responsible for making...
luna831,
From what I gather you are very concerned about this situation, however reading what you have written it does not look like this is enough to get you fired. Mhugh, explained really well the steps that Target goes through before termination. The worst that could have happened was a...
Just to calm the rumor that market source takes over staffing of the department, that is not true. Well sort of. Electronics gets busier with this remodel and spot doesn't allocate significantly more hours to staff the department. However, market source does have 1-4 Mobile people on during most...
Living in the area, I think this concept is a winner and here's why. Dinkytown used to be its own little community right around the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus. It had a bookstore, bars, restaurants, shops, everything a college kid could need within walking distance of their...
Actually the store I work at which is also relatively close to the campus, there's three so hopefully that doesn't narrow me down too much, does pretty good with conversion during BTS. Mainly because a lot of the college kids (especially freshmen) need groceries but don't have money to pay for...
Not to bump this but I came upon this CNBC article about the register debacle this past Sunday while reading one about Target's apology to Canada.

I liked it because it reiterates points that we seem to be making on here, and these guys are experts, so take...
A couple of months ago a thread was posted about a new concept store called Target Express near the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis.
Never heard of this, here is a link to a Star Tribune article on the store: http://www.startribune.com/business/240803311.html
Today I actually...
Ahh approval codes, my lod came over and told me quietly that you could type in anything you wanted for the approval code and it would go through. He tried 1234, 1111, 17, one time he put in his numbers, all went through.
Wait they gave you a gift card. Well I suppose you did a much better than our gsa who went on a 45 minute lunch as soon as the registers started crashing leaving a cashier in charge. Needless to say she told me she was on the brink of tears and glad she put in her two weeks already. I left...
Hey all!
Did anyone else have issues with all of their registers going down today? All the registers at the lanes as well as at Starbucks, food ave, and electronics went offline and then crashed. On top of that the PDAs went down and the phone was intermitant. The etl called the client support...
My question, is legally can they withdrawal the second paycheck amount from my account? It seems sketchy that they can just do that, plus doesn't that mean that at another point in time should the company find their pocketbooks have run dry they could start borrowing from their employees. I mean...
I'm surprised that no one else posted about this already or it may have been just my store that was affected. This week's direct deposit came through twice, which means if your paycheck was supposed to be $100 you would see two transactions at $100 for a total of $200. However, spot isn't...
I actually got to use the my devices in November last year and then again from January until mid February when they ended the pilot and took them away. What was nice about them was that they fit in your pocket and had full internet access via Safari so I could look odd questions up that I didn't...
I saw that speaker on cartwheel this past Sunday. We didn't have it on the floor so I searched for it on target.com and eventually found it in the back room. Long story short the price on target.com was $56 for the large one and $69 for the small speakers so I price matched it for the guests...
Speaking of beauty does anyone have a beauty consierge at their store or someone assigned to a position called mom and baby expert? Also has anyone gotten the chance to use a my device which is an iPod touch with a scanner attached to it designed by Honeywell? These all might be pilots but I...
Hardlinesmaster,
The electronics experts are both pretty knowledgeable and together have about 8 years of service with spot. I think these individuals were selected more for their guest service abilities than knowledgeability with electronics which is important because they work solely with...
What do you mean by prime time? As if we are more important post remodel? Well, we are held to the same standards as prior to the remodel (zoning toys and electronics and still have to work pulls and strays), and the team did not change from before either. We did have one GSA who decided to...
