Pride merch

[KarmaToBurn]

? Are all stores moving it tonight?

No, they left it all for me to pull this morning. I'll be working all weekend to get it boxed up for the sweep truck on Monday. At least it's all OT....

 

[KarmaToBurn]

Multiple z-bars and a 3 tier of product. Probably sent back over 300 items in total. From what I could tell, every single piece of children's clothing was pulled from the floor. Some of those didn't pop up on any of the recalls so they are just sitting in the back waiting to see if those need to go back too.

Anything I have left is getting defected. I have 60 regular IRs to get done after this clusterfuck....

I am pretty sure more training is going to drop into Workday over all this at some point.

That is a lot of shortage . The direction was to use chatbox and request it for missed merchandise

Not surprised. I will bet Gilead Texas is on the list.

Also this is even more disturbing

Cleveland 19 News receives bomb threat against 5 Targets as stores face LGBTQ+ controversy

As much as I’m with the boycott, This is too much and fucked up. The employees and stores don’t deserve to deal with that kind of stuff. Just no need for that those people are off the walls and that dude should be arrested for domestic terrorist threats.

 

[ThatAPguy]

Yeah I work at one of them. We just chilled outside for 2 hours while they swept for bombs. It was good bonding time with the team 🤷‍♂️

 

[DBZ]

What’s the code for bomb threat?

Target does not have a code for this. I'd call AP or an ETL and have them handle it.

It's sad. That gender fluid cup is pretty hilarious double entendre

 

[dannyy315]

This should go without saying, but if there's a bomb threat, take it upon yourselves to evacuate the guests and team members asap. Don't wait for police orders.

Yeah but what if you get a call from the media/police about it because the ones went there not directly to Target

 

[Stocker]

With all the upper management in this company they do not have decent PR people? The whole response to this has been sad, I can see moving things in areas that have a lot of complaints. Now they are starting a whole new controversy by having stores send back merchandise, which will be talked about into next weeks news cycle. They tried to spin this so it is about Team Member safety, which it probably is to a point. Anyone who knows anything about retail could see through this and know it is mainly about the money though.

What do you think the logical thing to do is?

There’s an eastern proverb “The green trees burn with the dry, once a fire is lit”
Someone, somewhere lit the fire and now everyone has to deal with it.

Asked them if you’re detained, or free to go 🤷🏿‍♂️

Oh, there was a message. I wish my store knew how to communicate...

Yeah, our PR sucks. I literally watched our morning news people proudly promote the "First ever car seat trade in event by any retailer" that WalMart was doing the following week. I wonder what all those giant bins I had to reorganize and put on the truck the many years were????

Yup . All etls and Sd got it .

If inventory is located after the QA-IR task is complete, follow theQA Inventory Removal Store Process to submit a request to Chatbot via myHelp to be reissued a new QA-IR.

Our Pride section is still right when you walk in the door, although they did pull some items. They said we got a few complaints, but discovered it was a couple of people calling every single store in the district to complain. We're in a very liberal area.
