"Shoppers will also have the option of having their order brought to their car. "

Ew

If Target's doing this, I want them to allow tips. I'm tired of their no tip policy.

it is a COURTESY to our guests that we offer to bring things to them we are serving THEM and making it convenient for them we can't have our workers expecting tips and actual money.

Plus if they allowed tips I'm about 90% certain they'd use that to justify lowering base pay.

I had a guest give me a tip once and he refused to take the money back. It made him happy and who was I to keep telling him no.

We already did the bring out the order to the guest and that didn't work well.

I had a similar situation happen to me, but when I brought it to the LOD she just told me I could keep it, lol. But not all stores and LODs are the same of course.

Read all the comments from Yahoo!'s version of this... most comments sang to the tune of "wasting money to look better, try fixing your bathroom issue first"

They just won't let go of that bathroom thing... seriously

 

[Kartman]

We've had our family restroom for a couple of weeks now.

What a waste of money...

 

[Bosch]

Comes out to about 2.4 hours extra a day per store. Sure it could help but the results would be minimal.

Lip service. That 2.4hrs is just covering one person covering back up cashier.

So in reality nothing changes.

They need a reason to be offended. Or they need a reason as good Christians to defend their bullshit beliefs.

So basically it's the Target Express concept being molded into normal stores.
My store already has more than 2 entrances because we are connecting to a mall, I guess we aren't getting this revamp.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

When curbside thing did not work. Let's close one entrance & make it a convenience store like 7-11.

I noticed in the pictures the floors were shaded a brown/tan color. Probably just wishful thinking, but getting away from white floors would save the company an exponential amount of money. A Giant recently remodeled close to me and their floors are concrete, sealed with something that makes them look fairly pleasing.

My wish would be for wooden floors but that would require more care, I suppose.

A store nearby me that was rumored about a month ago to get a full remodel soon also mentioned the entire floor would be replaced. I didn't think much of it at the time but with this news it could mean the floor surface is literally being replaced.

 

[NXT]

After a talk with my FIBP for my remodel, all new stores will have concrete floors going forward.

 

[HardlinesGuy]

I visited a store out of state that had implemented some of these changes. The new guest service desk is actually VERY nice. Really clean and professional looking.

A grocery chain here has stained polished concrete floors; looks quite nice.
Thing about spot having white floors is they give the illusion of being brighter, cleaner & spacious, even when it shows dirt/splats more readily.
We have darker tile in our cafe & it just looks dirty & old.

 

[Yetive]

I agree. Dark wood, dark floors, and no windows make it feel old.

 

[redeye58]

You just described my cafe 😉

 

[WinterRose]

How about light brown wooden floors? 😛

 

[Flow Warrior]

We have two entrances and one of them is immediately next to grocery. I really hope they don't do something stupid with us.

Umm its Spot. Do you expect them to NOT do something stupid?

What no tip policy? If you don't tell anyone while you are outside and no one sees anything, who is to say that any money changed hands? 😉

So would getting away from waxing them.

7-11 I would LOVE to have that in the place of my pizza hut. When I suggested jokingly to the GSTL that we need a dunkin donuts instead of a starbucks he gave me a serious look and said,'No everyone would be in there eating donuts.'
