I know. I meant its werd its midnight all days instead of just weekends.

 

[MrT]

Just be happy it used to be more. Wed even open earlier too.

 

[IWishIKnew]

We closed at 10 tonight.

 

[HorseBattery]

We closed at 10 tonight.

It starts tomorrow the 5th

It's normal to have extended hours at this time of year. I miss last year when we got to close at 9.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Happens every year.

 

[Anelmi]

^^ true but it is starting earlier this year. I agree that having Monday-Thursday close at midnight this early in December seems especially dumb.

Not weird at all to open late during holidays. Target believes in helping all families discover the joy of everyday life.

It’s so the shift differential doesn’t start until 12 am to only 7 am. That’s how they can save money

 

[DBZ]

But we have an overnight team. Our front end has people being scheduled to leave at 12:30 and arrive at 6:30. Many TMs are working 48+ hours a week.

I don't think that that saves them much compared to having the floor staffed for an additional 2+ hours, especially considering I don't think there will be too much by way of sales between 10 and 12 this early in December.

 

[countingsheep]

No it happens every year

My store will be slow the last two hours. I think it makes sense to close at midnight the week before Christmas.

 

[dannyy315]

I don't have work tonight, but it's usually dead quiet on a Sunday by 10pm so it'll be as if the store is closed.

I can't decide if I'd rather zone with one hour of the store being closed, or two hours of open dead time. I'm also curious if Target will lose money paying employees until midnight.

that’s how my store is, I haven’t seen a guest for the past 40 minutes

 

[countingsheep]

No. Literally every year. Though uts gotten later used to be the day after turkey day until after xmas. Glad its only a couple weeks now.

 

[DBZ]

We had a fair amount of people from 10-11 tonight. I kept the cashier entertained with some candy push.

 

[qmosqueen]

Reshop and zone should be done by all during the 10 to midnight hours.

We were all in OPUs except the one cashier and the one GS person.

 

[BurgerBob]

There was no one in the store last night at 11.. it was amazing.

For return to stock. No charge to the guest target loses out on paying a TM to pull items then return these items to stock. Guest should be charged as soon as the order goes through

Exactly they'd save on hours and costs to be ready for weekends and the week before Christmas
