Items that guests ask for

[pellinore]

I really miss the thread we had from before where TMs could share things that guests ask for.

I don't know what forum this should go under, so perhaps you can put it in the right forum for me.

Not so much an item requested, but do you have layaway?

 

[Rarejem]

String, rope, clothes dye (specifically RIT), and paint. We finally carry a soap pad similar to SOS.

My new place is nothing like Target. Its more of an up scale Walmat supercenter. We carry many things that Target does not.

 

[insiteful1]

Paint and fuses are pretty common requests.

 

[commiecorvus]

With the hurricane we got many requests for generators and storm lanterns.

 

[Bullseye Flow TM]

We use to carry rit dye

 

[Target Annie]

We use to carry rit dye

I remember that - as well as a very good selection of sewing tools

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Do you mean sewing notions? Needles, thread, pins, sewing kits, etc? We still carry those in my store. I just stocked some pins a couple days ago.

Moving this over to Guests First!

 

[lovecats]

Money orders and stamps.

 

[targetismylife09]

Bags of ice, cigs, stamps, fresh groceries (we are a general merchandise store). Guest comments always include at least one about "they should open a SuperTarget here"

 

[redeye58]

Stamps, newspapers, paint, tobacco products, keychains...

We're a PFresh, and we ALWAYS see those comments as well. It's like, come on people, our food margins are slim enough as it is, if you could only see what get's thrown off the bakery table. Now imagine that much more in a super... this town isn't big enough to justify a super, not with another grocery store in town. The nearest super is like 7 miles away.

 

[Rarejem]

Hahaha - forgot about kechains and lanyards

 

[pellinore]

Ear piercing kits

 

[TargetTeam]

Cigerettes, Money Orders, Newspapers ( a big one on Sundays) Ice ( At least our store doesn't carry it)

 

[Target Annie]

guest wanted to know if we sold grave blankets?

really?

have you ever actually been to Target?

 

[redeye58]

A.....grave blanket...?!

 

[Formina Sage]

Thrills. Chills. Deals. never seemed more appropriate....

 

[TargetTeam]

Grave Blankets?? Wow....lol Maybe they should check Costco they do sell caskets

 

[DotWarner]

Halloween is coming up soon but still.....
If you need it for a Halloween display, just go get a blanket from domestics.
If it's for a real funeral, isn't that something the funeral home would include with their services?

 

[pellinore]

A.....grave blanket...?!

Often people will place a "grave blanket" on a gravesite....kind of a way to honor or remember the deceased.

Grave blankets are really popular among people who have family that immigrated earlier in the 20th century. Also popular in areas with high concentrations of catholic churches.
