Returning to Normal Hours

[DatBoi9497]

Heard from the closing team lead yesterday that starting August 1st we will be returning to our pre-covid hours. Our store was one of the ones that was open until 11 and midnight on Friday and Saturday and I do not miss having to stay until 1 a.m. Has anybody else heard anything similar?

 

[DBZ]

I know it is only one more hour for Friday and Saturday, but noooooooooooooooo. Too many teenage and crack head shenanigans happen then.

Then move my shift up an hour. I need that extra hour at the end to finish everything, with no distractions

 

[ClosingQueen]

God, I hope not. Pre Covid we were open 8am to 11pm Monday thru Saturday and 8am to 10pm Sunday. Now we're open 7am to 10pm everyday. If you can't get it in the 15 hours we're open, order online!

 

[vendordontmesswithme]

It's true for my store. SDL was asked if we're getting extra hrs. Was told it was never taken away from us. Now that is the most thing Etl has sad

 

[lucidtm]

ugh... so unnecessary.

Target, if you're listening (lol), IMAGINE THE PAYROLL YOU'LL SAVE by still closing at 10! Don't open up those extra hours for the 2 people that will come in. Not worth it.

This. At my store we're already sitting around doing not a lot at 10 pm. Adding another hour is just wasting time. Or maybe not, add a couple more Closing Experts and have them handle the backroom for that hour, I dunno.

It doesn't make business sense to stay open until 11 pm. The vast majority of major retailers close at 9:00 pm or 9:30 pm. Walmarts are open later but we aren't Walmart, it's just a money-loser in terms of actual sales. My availability only goes to 10 PM and it isn't changing.

 

[Tarshitsucks]

It doesn't make sense to me either. They are wasting more than they are making if anything.

 

[SpilledTea]

SD told us that we won't get more payroll when we go back to pre-covid hours 😩

 

[Dream Baby]

I think we won't go back to 11:00 PM close because they can't hire enough people.

Our store communication is so bad that if they change the store close to 11:00 PM they won't tell anyone. You will just notice it when the do the schedule.

My store never announced the bonuses, vaccine pay, or any new TL.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Target Corporate would be smart not to go to closing at 11.

 

[sunnydays]

they are, so

 

[NotCynicalYet]

Yeah it's fine whatevs lol.

 

[IWishIKnew]

I'm sure they have numbers to indicate the extra sales do outweigh the payroll, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

I was a little surprised we went back to 10pm close after Q4, tbh.

In my area we were 7a-10p during Covid19. Going back to 7a-11p mon thru sat and 7a-10p sun. I miss the days of when Sunday open was 8a back in the day. Luckily our store is overnight so is doesn't impact much. During Q4 we were open till 12a and we still rolled our PIPOs and old freight out the back at 10p because it was quiet non-guest facing hours.

 

[CIHYFS]

Our pre-covid hours were 7am-12am and currently we are 7am-10pm. I hope we don't go back to midnight closing

You probably will. We are. We were 7-11 Sun-Thurs and 7-12 Fri and Sat. We started closing at 10 all days during covid but I've just heard we're going back to original hours.

Food Lion around here is open until 11 but it makes sense as they're pretty much only food. Target, though?

 

[dannyy315]

I haven’t heard anything about our hours changing, but payroll shouldn’t be an issue. Our sales have exploded the past year, we’re still extremely busy until 10pm.

 

[Hope4Future]

I heard that we're going back to closing at midnight on weekdays and 11:00 PM on Saturdays in August and I'm not thrilled about it although I'm getting close to putting in my two weeks notice in September or October.

This. My store denied the vaccine bonus existed.

 

[bloodyred]

was wondering if this was coming, closing tl's have been scheduled another half hour later along with a few others. I expected it was coming, but as usual, heard it here first!!

When I started at target Sunday hours were 10am to 7pm. And I didn’t live in a blue law state.

 

[gracefulfillment]

My store is going back to 8a-12a. It's going to screw fulfillment. OPU orders will keep dropping in until 10:30pm, with standard still due at midnight... we'd better get the additional hours to support that.
