I really had to laugh when I found out about these were either being tested in my store or for some insane reason they decided to do them on their own.
1.) Get rid of research.
Yes, you read that right. They apparently stopped researching large parts of the store in order to save payroll. They must have figured that the accumulator was god and we were peons who were always wrong. It didn't work out the way they wanted it to in the end because half the store was empty on the salesfloor.
We had a visit from somebody up high. He scanned one area that had outs, this case being distilled water. While the sales-floor was empty and in desperate need of some, the backroom had 24 of them and they were not even being pulled.
Result?
The higher up stopped the visit after half an hour because of all the outs.
2.) They vastly expanded the duties of the people in the cafe.
They wanted the cafe people to take charge of the one spot and part of softlines. Now of course that is impossible because the laws of physics on the non-quantum level don't let that happen because you cannot be in two places doing two things at once.
Result?
Every single person in that area has quit with two exceptions so now the cafe is operating at vastly reduced hours because Target doesn't want full time employees that are hourly and training is too much of a cost burden (they let one of them close down the area for a month before somebody discovered that they had no clue in what they were doing). They would rather close an area of the store down rather than spend the payroll to make the job tolerable enough to hire/trick people into doing it.
