Yes. They have signs up by the timeclocks and the equipment room stating that we are not to enter the numbers any longer. I think Target is trying to stop the money leak that is non-TMs who aren't a dependent using TM numbers for the discount.
Also, I wonder if we might be looking at switching over to a swipe or scan system for clocking in/out... but that's wishful thinking.
Well the only thing this new corporate edict accomplishes is saving cashiers some a little typing. And it saves them from keying in a wrong number which makes it harder for Target to track what each specific employee is buying.
As it is now, anyone can lend, borrow or find a card & use it without trouble. And it's easy for TMs to request new replacement cards.
IF they were actually concerned about fraud, the sensible move would be to keep track of the TM's name & their verified dependents names & then ask for ID whenever the card is used. Anyone who is not verified is not able to get the discount.
