In the news

I just read an article reporting this, it’s almost as unhinged and Starbucks requiring a personal message written on every cup

We're supposed to 'connect' with the guest, talk them into signing up for the Target app while scanning their SB app, taking their order & upselling product we're out of, write a cute message on their cup & get them out the door while dealing with drive-up orders.
Talk about putting the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'........🙄

Business Insider was invited inside T557, the Oconomowoc RDC.

The reporting is obviously paid for by Target to try and get something positive going to counter the negativity, but its a good chance for store TMs to get a glimpse inside an RDC.

We got an inside look at a Target warehouse ahead of Black Friday to see the massive push to keep stores stocked

Target gave Business Insider an exclusive look at one of its distribution centers ahead of the holidays, as merchandise is sorted and sent to stores.

Why???? Why isn't the focus on providing a better shopping experience in the existing Target stores?
Minneapolis retailer plans new large-format stores

From one of the comments to that article:

Target management: "Our sales are down. We're losing money. What do we do?"
Marketing consultant: "Redesign your stores. Change how they look. That will bring in customers!"
Now where have we heard that before? And how many times?

Isn't that the main idea behind shifting sfs into fewer stores?

Came across this video of an employee at t-2155 getting caught taking money from register bags. I work at a rdc so don't know much about the employee side of stores, but was cool to see some AP action.

Be careful about posting shit like this.

I saw that and looked at several places it was posted. People in the comments claiming to be TMs who worked with her say she always had a bad attitude and was generally nasty to everyone. Idk if it's true. But that may be why the leadership seemed particularly pleased to catch her.
