Those videos show nice civilized people shopping the stores it's beyond unrealistic. I seriously think this is what corporate thinks the people act like on the weekends or any time really. I often wonder if they have ever been to a store that does over $250k daily. No store can maintain that look for an extended period unless they do barely any sales in which case they're losing money.
Soooo what, we're going back to pre-cut Electronics training? An extra two pages on the electronics champion training guide? I'm sure once the EE transition happens expectation will also be 100% minimum on AAR scores daily with a marginal increase of hours. Even five years ago the training hours were much more plentiful and you still had to do personal studying outside the business to figure out how to answer even a third of the inane questions guest have about their electronics. And it sure as hell didn't help that every brand had their own standard on what they quantify as excellent (looking at you, Samsung).
Hopefully those fixtures are also more robust, as half the tablets for the android section in my store didn't even make it past two weeks when they got installed.
Beats recently got added to the list of things that factor in to their commission. They also received demo pairs and we're encouraged to wear them around their necks while they work. Because that's professional looking, lol.
They should just ax the electronics team and replace them with target mobile. Just think of the motivation! We'll never have to worry about AAR ever again.
Target Mobile Team Member here - one or two stores in my district are getting the EE layout, but mine is not one of them. Here is what my DM had to say about it...
"It is an exciting time within Target Mobile as Target Corporation has reached out to us once again to staff the new upcoming Electronic Experience Stores that will be opening over the next few months. The program is to staff the electronics section with Target Mobile team members with the assistance of Target Team members. To be more clear on what our staffing model looks like, we will have a Manager which will be a salaried position working 45 hours a week approximately. We will have an Assistant Manager, a Wireless Team Lead, one Full Time Team Member and three Part Time Team Members. Target will supply two team members to be in electronics as well.
This project costs target ¼ of a million dollars per store."
That sounds unreasonably well-staffed.
That sounds unreasonably well-staffed.
How long until those electronics hours get cut?

Sounds like our market. We got a new etl and she had ideas for deep zone plus other things. Told us she was going to schedule 3 tms to close on weekends. We had 3 last night and we kept getting called up for backup because there were 3 back there. One time all 3 of us were called up. Guess who needed help with their zone at the end of the night?That sounds unreasonably well-staffed.

They will get a few months until it's back to barebones. Every time Target makes a new emphasis they support it for a little while and then pull the plug. I remember how doe-eyed the PAs were at my store when he first got PFresh. I warned them of the impending doom, but they kept saying "Our ETLs told us it would be food first, we are always going to get enough payroll for our tasks." Fast forward to today and our market team is a revolving door of unkept promises and broken dreams.
