    target optical

    Target doesn't actually own or operate Target Optical locations. Target Brands leases the "Target" Optical brand and in-store locations to a big international conglomerate called Luxxotica They are so big a company that they help keep eyewear prices up.

    Target refusing to add suffix

    The inability to include a middle name or a suffix is really stupid. For many people with common names, this is a real PIA. Think of John Smith, Mary Jones, Jim Jones, Sue Brown. Are the people who run Workday truly that stupid that they cannot accommodate full legal names, or is this in fact...

    circle 360 + circle card (RIP RedCard)

    A paradox of re-branding and re-positioning the delivery service from Shipt to Target Circle 360, making it appear to be head-to-head competition with Amazon Prime and Walmart+, is that Target's delivery personnel rely on tips unlike the Amazon and Walmart delivery folks. Target neglects to...

    Team Voice Survey

    It's that time of year again - coming soon to your Target location. The strange thing about the Team Voice Survey is: the team is not allowed to see the results! It seems like they don't trust team members very much. The surveys are developed by an outfit called "Great Place to Work". How...

    FY 2023 Annual Pay and Performance - Team Members (PG35/38)

    Target as a company will not ever, ever allow this to happen, but this is the kind of thing where collective bargaining would bring better compensation. Public sector employees including teachers have benefited enormously from collective bargaining, as have those in private sector industries...

    Target Credit Union

    It's pretty good.

    I was fired for breaking the team member purchase policy. What are the factors that are going to be stopping me from getting rehired?

    I hesitate to chime in, but barista232 I suggest you apply at other businesses for employment. Theoretically, five or ten years from now, if you have a satisfactory or even good work history, then there's a chance Target might re-hire you under the right circumstances. That kind of scenario...

    Service & Engagement Changes in return policy?

    While it's obvious that my ETL fell for an April Fools' Day joke, there is a good case that Target's return policies are perhaps too lenient for this day and age. Social media empowers people how to exploit the one-year-return window on owned-brand children's clothes, Hallowe'en costumes...

    Circle Week and the new Circle

    Looking at today's Weekly Ad for this Circle Week, we may be seeing the impact on non-Circle members. Each and every sale-priced item in the current Weekly Ad requires Circle. There are no promotional sales offers shown which don't require Circle. I don't know if future Weekly Ads will mirror...

    Service & Engagement Changes in return policy?

    My TL told me Friday that Target is implementing a rather drastic reduction of days allowed for guest product returns. Currently, most items can be returned within 90 days of purchase, with some exceptions (i.e. tech products 30 days, Apple products 14 days, special clothing-designer partnership...

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    I wonder how much sales pressure we're gonna have to use with our guests at checkout to meet "goals" for these "improvements". Our guests who want to watch the prices of the items as we ring them up are not amused by the "speed bumps" we put in their way: Respond to our reminder to input...

    When will the Cash only SCO option be available for all stores?

    Having a Cash-Only SCO register would be very desirable, as it could be truly customized with state-of-the-art technology for handling the acceptance and disbursement of paper currency bills. It would essentially meet the robustness standard of a bank-branch ATM. The SCO attendant would be...

    Couldn't be happier

    I can't begin to imagine the stress you were under at the time: I'm bolding the phrase "I was calling the shots" not because of your ironic choice of words but to begin to grasp the seriousness of your situation. Was this an active shooter situation or a scenario where the gun-carrying vendor...

    I'm Lost! The REDCard Thread

    One thing that's missing from Circle 360, which is included with Amazon Prime and Walmart+ is entertainment benefits. Amazon Prime includes a free curated selection of thousands of videos including Amazon Studios productions like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Walmart+ includes a free Paramount+...

    circle 360 + circle card (RIP RedCard)

    Will Target finally integrate the Redcard Reloadable -- nka Circle Card Reloadable -- so it can is eligible for TM discount online? Currently, unlike Redcard Credit and Redcard debit, Reloadable is only accepted in-store for TM discount and not online. This is a pity because Redcard Reloadable...

    2024 up&up Refresh and dealworthy Launch

    When Smartly was launched, the publicity was that the new product line was the maximum-value-for-dollar brand for cost-conscious consumers. I just don't see the need for yet another "uber-economy" brand name. Doesn't this seem like yet another gee-whiz marketing gimmick, reshuffling the deck...

    Can AP ask anyone for a merchandise receipt?

    Costco isn't open to the general public, strictly speaking. When you pay for a Costco membership, you agree to their terms and conditions. In other words, you have a contract with Costco for the right to shop in their warehouses. This is also true with other membership-type stores, such as...

    Slow zebra

    Same issue at my store as well. We won't find out why, but it's likely that a recent security patch left this as an unintended side effect.
