Archived Jeans Forever

[a1flow]

Heard through the grapevine we will be able to wear jeans all year. Any truth to the rumor?

 

[Marcellow]

If it’s true, then I can get rid of all my wasted purchases of khaki.

We don't know yet. Store sales have to be higher than 5% over last year, and we won't know that until after the fiscal year ends (Feb 2) and the earnings call happens with investors. I think they have reason to believe they will make that target, but it won't be official until Feb.

What a stupid fucking way to "earn" the right to wear jeans.

It's official. Janna Potts said so on Twitter this afternoon.

Specifically says jeans or khakis, so you can still wear them.

 

[SnorlaxTM]

Can we start campaigning for shorts during the summer since they won’t give us AC

 

[IWishIKnew]

Ah, the good ole, consistent, Target (non)communication systems.

 

[Militantagnostic]

If there's an economic recession and sales go down, will they take back jean privileges?

 

[IWishIKnew]

I was talking to one of my ETLs a few months ago who was of the opinion that Target was looking for an excuse to get rid of the khakis.

For a company that wants to brand itself as being all hip 'n shit, having their employees look like icons of the 80s doesn't exactly help.

Unpopular opinion here: I have always thought the red and khaki combo (regardless of company) is pretty nice and I like to wear it. I'll always be 'traditional' R&K until the day the entire dress code changes.

 

[HardlinesFour]

Jeans are very casual compared to Khaki. I imagine, something above casual is what they were hoping/looking for - in the war against hell*mart.

 

[seasonaldude]

I think khakis are more comfortable to work in. I'll stick with them. Jeans are reserved for days I forgot to do laundry and don't have any clean khakis.

Pick one or the other - I feel like guests can't tell who's working. I also feel we've really gotten away from being brand with red (at least at my store), and it's no wonder guests constantly ask if we work there.

Oh please theyre idiots and would ask if you worked there if you were standing with a neon sign that said "i work here"

Confirmed, I found the original tweet on twitter..

With how much they've cut back our floor coverage, I wonder if guests are accidentallly getting asked questions because theyre the only person around wearing red.

 

[BoxCutter]

Prediction: Sales go down.
HQ: It must be the blue jeans! Everyone back to red and khaki!
TMs: Well, couldn't it also be the economy? Or, Modernization?
HQ: NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! It's because of the blue jeans!!!

True, but the shades of maroon or the shirts with hardly any red on them that people wear at my store...

It’s true was announced today by my STL

 

[Panda13]

"Jeans for everyone. Raises for no one but thanks for a great year"

 

[Rarejem]

I hate wearing jeans and many of the people that are wearing them to work just shouldn't. This is no perk or whatever you want to call it, in my opinion.

 

[GoodyNN]

Honestly, I'm waiting for them to rescind the "any color red" and give us all uniform shirts with the bullseye on them. And frankly, I wouldn't object to it. Some people push the definition of red way too far.

I can say the same about Khaki's, people need to understand what rise means in pants as it relates to their body.. Or when you know low rise isn't for you but it was what was on sale, you need to wear longer shirts.. Much longer shirts..
