    Who owns style sort?

    The push expectations in style at my store are getting ridiculous for how horrendous the sorts are. I’m talking z racks so full they fall over on TMs and the sort taking you from one floorpad 500 feet to the next and back multiple times. The whole thing is so full it can’t easily be resorted...

    Fitting Room Hours

    When does your store close there fitting room? At my store there is no way to block it off so there was someone there right after the closing announcement last night.

    Service & Engagement Denim trade in, yikes!

    I’m hoping this will work because the teacher 20% has been really hit or miss. It hasn’t worked for about 60-70% of the time. Yes, we make sure they are verified. Anyway, I shudder to think of the nasty denim stuff we will be dealing with.

    Specialty Style

    The 3rd wheel, 2nd priority, stepchild of the store, the list goes on and on. Style is not an easy area to keep up, but when will the area get equal support as all the other areas or give the area what it is owed. When style falls apart, so do all the other aspects of the store, INF, NPS...

    Question

    I was told by the ETL of specialty sales I’ll be hired to do style assortment in the back room since I have previous experience in that. Then I would be helping style. Originally she told me if I could start at 4 am and I said no. I can only do 7 am and she said perfect because there’s someone...

    Fitting room key

    It was a Saturday closing shift and it was on and off busy. I took the fitting key to push out a couple of shirts. I did not sign out the key as I should’ve done, I had the key with me but at some point I thought I put it back. However, after clocking out I get a call from the TL. That’s when I...

    Why doesn't Target carry Levi's 501 jeans?

    Levi's 501 jeans are the company's best-known jeans style, and have a huge worldwide following. Why Target doesn't sell the iconic 501s?

    What happened to the "Feel Good Together" women's apparel brand?

    In the later part of 2020, a new apparel line called "Feel Good Together" was rolled out with a prominent Style display along with signage showing women hanging out together. The apparel looked fine, the logo formed the words "Feel Good Together" in a circular pattern. After the Style display...

    Style TM’s, do you set vmg’s?

    Hi there Style TM’s, do you set vmg’s? Our store has been making a lot of changes. Now only the team leaders and a few team members who have “special” zones set vmg’s. :( I’m not sure if this is typical or not?

    What exactly is the dating policy?

    I'm going to be blunt and admit I have a big crush on the PMT/PML, and I have before he even had the role. What is the policy for that? I know team members can't date their direct supervisors. There is a couple in my store who the TM got moved to cashier so they could still work in the same...

    Two weeks after three years?

    Hi there, I'm a softlines team member who has been with Target since 2018. I voluntarily went part time at the start of this year because of COVID spiking my anxiety (we had our first store TM case last week), but things are a bit too much right now for me as just one person. I'm basically the...

    How do you guys have responsibilities parceled out for Style leads?

    I'm one of 2 Style TLs in my store, I know that in higher volume stores there are sometimes more. How are responsibilities divided between the leads in your store? By processes? Like one supervises price change completion, one pog sets, one vmg sets etc or by assigned departments? Or is it super...
