God could you imagine if Target was like walmart and open 24 hours a day, our stores would look horrible but at least we'd be required to look nice and with a smile on our face
Target stores require a lot of overnight upkeep as the way they are run these days. Especially in super high volume stores overnight process couldn't run the way it does now with customers, it would have to be vastly changed.
It would never happen, because Target would actually have to expend money for the freaking hours.[/QUOTE
Now, don't put this idea out of your head, just yet.....Spot would just have FEWER TMs working each of those 24 hours.
I can see it now.......one TM in SL, one TM in HL, one cashier.........sure, isn't that enough coverage??
I work at a Walmart that is open 24 hours and I wouldn't wish this on Target at all. First of all, the customers come dressed in pajamas and other strange outfits. Also, a lot of them come with empty backpacks and leave with full backpacks, so AP would have their hands full. I find empty packages on the shelf on a nightly basis. Just because it's the middle of the night doesn't mean you won't have customers coming in with little kids, many of whom are cranky just because it's the middle of the night and they're still awake. Often it's a couple coming in with their kids and my thoughts are always why doesn't one parent stay home with the kids and the other come shopping alone? We are not allowed to put our freight on the floor because of safety reasons, so we have to work out of shopping carts all night long.
Then there are the customers who want service at the paint desk or the fabric desk or the sporting goods desk all night long.... UGH! I'm glad I don't have to deal with them but I feel for my co-workers who do.
there were some targets that were 24 hours at one point.
$1 more an hour does add up lol
They already do at the Target’s flagship store in Downtown Minneapolis. There are so many drunk people that walk in there it’s insane tbhI work at a Walmart that is open 24 hours and I wouldn't wish this on Target at all.

Somehow, 7 years later, reading Target would not allow brand standards to be compromised is funny as hell.and still expect to maintain brand, safety, and team member standards. Something would have to give dramatically, and we all know it would not be the brand standards.....
