Just curious if any pilots are going on in your stores or if your part of something new corporate is trying out?
My store is currently apart of the extended hours program. We are open from 8 to 11 Monday through Saturday and 8 to 10 on Sunday.
My store has been open to 11 for like a year. It sucks but you would be shocked how much more money we make in that single hour.
My store is frequently included in pilot programs. Right now we're doing Instocks scanning at night + only shooting OUTS on Fridays, the boatless jewelry and accessories floorpad, and PetRX, where you can get pet prescriptions filled at the pharmacy.
That's when we get all those cranky middle-aged ladies that buy a month's worth of groceries and get pissed when their 40 coupons don't work.

We do pet prescriptions, but it's not part of a pilot??? Do you mean like Frontline and those types of prescriptions?

Keep in mind, while money might not flow too much that final hour, it's an additional hour to touch up (finish) the zone. We've done it for about a year now, and I do like it, but I'm a night owl, so the late hours don't affect me all that much.
Our store also has the extended hours, and bcus our store is too busy anyways, corporate came in one day and saw that our cashiers use too much paper bags. So now our new phrase is "is plastic ok?" instead of "paper or plastic". We saved about 1-2k a month but bcus its so hot outside, guests are complaning about how food will "die" once they exit.
And recently today, our store received new paper bags. I noticed it when I came in work today and I was helping stock bags, we got new paper bags (very decorative with like a million bullseyes around), and the worst part about the new paper bags is that they are way smaller than the old ones.

High bp & diabetes, etc on cats, in my case.
Test it there & no trial required.

Also has anyone heard about a pilot happening or about to happen with stores getting rid of the Target Cafe and just going with a Starbucks. I know the only thing their keeping are the soda and icee machines I'm guessing you'd get the cups from Starbucks.
Correction:I see...so you're actually TESTING them & giving the prescriptions:thumbsup:
My store doesn't have paper bags. Is this a Super Target thing? I was surprised when I found the "Bring me paper bags" option in the HELP key on the register.
Im guessing you work at a Super Target?
