Not yet in our store. However, our store has half the registers with the new POS interface (which has been a bit bug-prone in our store) and the other half with the legacy POS interface. All I can say is that yesterday, I still had to shepherd guests through the Circle prompt before it will allow me to finish the Total and then the payment. ASANTS?
I think "doing the right thing" during a national, state and local emergency is streamlining procedures to assist our guests quickly. In my experience and my observations of teammates, at a store where price match is generally done at the registers and not at the S&E service desk, it can take between 1 and 3 minutes to verify a price match. Again, I'm looking at this in the context of an emergency. Our guests in the Seattle area are experiencing an urgency that may not be present in your store. Right now, the real importance of "the brand" is remaining open. In an emergency, the guest doesn't need price match, we have a lot of guests and are understaffed. No matter what Target does, there will always be people who complain even in an emergency. Our brand will emerge better if the focus is serving our guests efficiently at a time when (in our state) the vast majority of stores are closed, and when there's a price match request it's sometimes hard to determine if the item is actually in-stock at the competing retailer.
You nailed it! Under the circumstances, it would be better if everything were pre-ordered by guests as ship-to-store, including all types of groceries.
Boy, do I love this idea. Guests seem to not be stupid so much at my store (except I find myself backing up for social distancing), but some of them lately have been so rude. I'd love to not have to deal with the rudeness, stressed out or not. Maybe I should take back that not stupid part; yesterday, I saw several families, two parental adult types plus 2 or 3 kids tagging along. Really? One of you come get what you need, the other stays home with the kids.
That's the way it was at my store until two days ago, when things finally started noticably changing. Sunday and yesterday I saw more people with masks and gloves and more solo shoppers. Our state went into lockdown last night, only essential workers and solo shoppers getting supplies. I wonder how it is in the store today.
Replace the feed with Kurzgesagt video about coronavirus. Has nice colors to still display the TVs quality but also informative. But who am I kidding their systems don't even support 4k. So only 4 of our TVs are running at their native 1080p resolution.
I'm so jealous!!!
Is that really going to keep out the Karen's and the bored teens?
I saw a woman opening bottles, smearing foundation on and putting the bottles back ! i would have slapped her if I thought I could’ve got away with it ! Some people are just TOO dense!
Until they complain to corporate about the indignity of being told to leave and the absurdity that the store is not allowing shopping. Corporate's not going to investigate local ordinance and corporate needs lots of positive vibes right now to keep people from going to other stores.
Who decides that? Health Dept?
Do you think corporate has changed? Or just gotten sneakier and still guest ass kissing? What's cheaper and will garner more sales, sneaky propaganda or a "the customer is sometimes wrong and who cares how far and wide they blast their grievance?"
