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...

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.

2015 was 8 years ago and it was still happening to that store when I left the company and I was working at a $90 million store in 2016, which was 7 years ago, well 6.5 technically, and it was the same CEO then as it is now. I doubt that things have changed all that much in terms of the DCs...

There's some disingenuous posting going on in this thread about DCs... at least a little bit. Speaking from someone who once upon a time worked at the slowest store in a particular district, some of our trucks would have a LOT of extra space in them. And it's not an opinion, it's a fact...

The stores are clearly hurting in a big way. The reasons for which are clearly multifaceted, some self inflicted, some not. Point being, ok, sure, they've added drive up and pick up, but do you think Target will survive a transition to where these are their primary services? If not, and I...

Probably accurate. But what system is better? The root problem is that people are shit and treat each other like shit. *shrugs* No matter what type of government and system a country has, psychopaths(no I am not talking about the directly murdering kind although there are a few of those...

You're specifically talking about late stage cancer right before the patient dies. I'm talking about a process that typically takes decades to unfold. Target stores have continued to deteriorate for about 15 years now. There has been no up tick in terms of the services or brand offered, and...

Good point. I take back my previous post. You're right. My bad.

Target is in the process of going out of business. They've been in the process of going out of business for about 15 years. It is a slow process. I've posted about it on here numerous times. This shit often takes decades. Look at K-Mart... they still have like 1 or 2 stores left and they've...

The sales and profit say that he is killing it in the short term. Short term thinking almost always ends in disaster. Why Target is continuing to get away with this when the stores look like utter shit, I'm not entirely sure but I suspect it's still largely reputation among other things such...

In 2013, Walmart had $465 billion in sales. In 2021, Walmart had $555 billion in sales. In 2013, Amazon had $74.45 billion in sales. In 2021, Amazon had $470 billion in sales. We can't be out here acting like Target is the only one experiencing paper growth. (well, Amazon had actual growth...

The fact that you do not understand that over the long term, the two are directly linked... well, that says all that I need to know about you. Like I said... clean stores, friendly team, staffed stores... record levels of expansion under Ulrich all the way up until retirement. Steinhaffel...
