I worked for the company for 10.5 years and it was amazing how often they wanted to reinvent stuff just for the sake of doing it that didn't even save overall productivity but would often cost it. This is how you know you're part of a failing company. When leadership rolls out ideas when it's a...

Bob Ulrich's retirement happened and the psychopaths have had hold of it ever since. It will go out of business, the only question is when. Target has been in the process of going out of business for like 16-17 years. A company that successful can take decades to do it. It was never going to go...

Target is in the multi decade process of going out of business and they have been for 16 years. How much longer? Anyone's guess. I've posted this before and have been repeatedly been met with vitriol and denial. Whatever. The proof is in the pudding. Cornell never had a vision to do anything...

Yeah that's always been the case. Just surprised those greedy bastards haven't decided to completely kill the quality of the clothing and home goods(in the name of short term profitability) and thus really the only thing they have left. Because it sure as hell isn't brand or service.

They are still doing a ton in sales and it is still really profitable. If this is your timeline, even if things started really deteriorating, you should be alright. I think they're the only "not Walmart" alternative the US has nationwide and they still have the rep of being a good store, but...

Slight correction... it's been self imploding since Steinhaffel took over. Basically... Ulrich goes to retire perfectly coinciding with 2008 recession pretty much. Steinhafel takes it, eliminates a bunch of positions, and some stores actually saw increased profitability despite recession(not...

I worked for Target for 10.5 years. I don't want it to happen because a lot of great people work there but the writing is on the wall. The moment that Ulrich retired is pretty much the moment that the company took a turn from expanding their footprint and caring about in store brand to... not...

I laugh heartily when I read threads like these after people have tried to tell me over the years that Target isn't in the process of going out of business over a decade or two timeline. Yeah, Target's checkout process is worse than Wal-Mart's now. Target's stores are also dirtier. It's...

So unless you are completely lying, there you have it. The theft very well may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. And an argument can be made that they made bad business decisions by placing stores with such slim margins in high risk areas such as these in the first place, which...

Most likely not profitable and it has nothing to do with theft? So you have access to the P&L statements or are you just pulling the speculation out of your ass because it adheres to your world view? You could be 100% right. You could be incredibly wrong. We don't know.

Yeah, local small businesses in Oakland (where one one of those Targets is at) literally closed their doors to protest for a few hours due to the theft issue. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/over-200-businesses-close-up-shop-for-strike-over-rampant-oakland-crime/ But it's definitely...

They're deceptive "give us your money for extremely likely nothing in return because we're going to force you to deal with the manufacturer during the first year" bullshit highway robbery and they've been that way since they first rolled out back when they were called "extended service plans."...

I know for a fact that stores can force transfers and in some instances sweeps that have not been approved by the system. Why would DCs be different? Thanks for being such a great poster! The idea that 100%... Not 99.9%, but 100% of items leaving the DC are all generated by the system and...

Again.

It's almost as if you didn't read the entire first post. Here, I'll quote myself for you.
