I'm curious on what the difference is. Why would this item not be eligible for order pickup at my store, but eligible at the one down the road with only 1 left? I know we have at least 2 left and it's not in an audit task.

IME, when it says limited stock, it's because FF INF'd it for an OPU. Technically it'll still be in inventory until next audit but the TM trying to pick it couldn't find it.

Wow that needs to change most of our infs come from 2 reasons, we’re either out of time or team member doesn’t care.

I can't stand the whole "limited stock" thing.

I ran into this a couple of days ago.

Target is better out stating it is out of stock instead of the guest coming to the store and getting upset that we don't have it.

I always consider “limited stock” to mean “we really don’t know what we have”. 😂

No problem! Just say, "Availability may vary by location".

The guest might not punch you in the face.

I've seen it say limited availability when we had 1-2 of something, and 1 in stock when we had like 3. Internally this is called "available to promise" and it's probably just the safest number Target is able to promise that its there.

I don't think it will make any difference hiw it's worded. There will be always the ones who want what they want and they want it now.

I assume the same, " if you come in and look or find someone to look you might find your item. "

When I check other stores for an item for the guest I always tell them unless it shows at least 3 don't bother to drive there.

I tell them to just order with an OPU.

I call the nearby stores and ask them to check/hold in those situations. I encourage busy floor team members to pass those to us up at GS, so we can do it for them. I hate leaving the guest with uncertainty and doing half of what I could do for them. And no, I don't have time to do that. I don't have time to do anything lol.

Yup. If your polite to me that I'm already calling, then I'll see if the other tm will hold it for my guest... but sometimes they don't.
