    Doesn't that guy know that Target is a gun-free zone? Shame on him.

    Test marketing - Krispy Kreme doughnuts

    Some Targets in our area have Krispy Kreme doughnut mini-kiosks placed close to the checkout lanes. A Krispy Kreme delivery driver comes early each morning, pulls whatever is left over from the previous day and puts out fresh doughnuts. These aren't cheap, a 6-pack is $12.99. Have you seen...

    Target is expanding: Here’s where new stores are expected Why? Are the thousands of existing stores sufficiently resourced to deliver the Target brand promise? Are stores being properly staffed, etc.?

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    Reflecting on what you've mentioned, it seems like your SD and ETL-HR have the following policy:

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    Revisiting this thread: ultimately, how many of the store's inbound TMs are still employed with Target? I realize that out of caution the OP is probably avoiding discussing this online as he/she has been "outed" and rebuked for publicizing this on social media.

    I have learned a bit of skepticism when someone states that a co-worker "always had a bad attitude". Always means every single day, essentially all day long. It wasn't clear if she had some prior CAs. Leadership's case was well documented. The TM forgot that no matter how lowly the job or how...

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    Funny how Target HR doesn't follow its own guidelines, and under labor law they really aren't required to. If this was your first documented discussion with the receiver, it seems like a Final CA is an extreme punishment reserved for the most serious infractions. A boss who cannot face the...

    Yes to that, but in spite of the crowded shelves, maybe it's not completely by accident? 🎅 Ho-Ho-Ho!

    So long dear friend

    At our store the devices and holsters are in a shared-access room, you check them out and in every shift. So from one day to the next, I don't know which one I'll be using. It sounds like your location these are assigned to you. Cool story!

    Electronic price tags

    There's an Amazon Fresh supermarket not too far away from some of our local Targets. Similar to how Amazon.com operates, the prices shown on the electronic price tags at Amazon Fresh are frequently changed. At times they have incredible bargain prices, then you come back three days later and...

    The skeleton crew thing is getting really old really fast

    Our reshop area is behind Guest Services, it's pretty tight and feels like a submarine. The bins are inadequate for the quantity and bulk of reshop pieces. Stuff sometimes gets shoved on upper shelves or in piles on the floor. More seriously, another area directly behind Guest Services is the...

    TBR PSA

    Quite a few years at Target, I want to retain some anonymity. While my personal sense of well-being has greatly improved over the last year, and I actually have enjoyed my job much more than in the past, the recent decline in scheduled work hours storewide has been painful to see. I see many...

    To Target - General Feedback About Anything

    Drive-Up contributes tension and disruption to the guest experience for the shop-in-store guests. Once that (rhymes with) rammed 3-minute timer goes off, the Drive-Up TMs gotta make sure that everything was prepped properly and in the three-tier, including cooler and frozen items, then get...

    The skeleton crew thing is getting really old really fast

    Sorry for my late reply, I don't log into this forum frequently. I'm beyond jaw-dropping stunned at what you are saying. Using kind language, I can't comprehend the logic. This is a remote guess on my part, and if this is true they won't tell you, but maybe at some point the District manager or...

    That's been my impression as well. Personally, I've actually made some effort to follow the 10-4 guidelines and it has probably helped our guests enjoy shopping here a bit. However, there are certain tasks such as Drive-Ups (which involve multiple steps and which are strictly timed) where it...
