On 4/21, I kid you not, there were a TON of parents asking for drug tests....we actually SOLD OUT!!! :mosking:

Wow!

 

[mxrbook]

Rolls of quarters. Yes, guest, this is the First National Bank of Target. Did you want me to cash your step mom-s birthday check while I'm at it?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Gs would do it for you at my store.

Re: rolls of quarters - means laundry day around our area.

 

[Reneeisxena]

We use to sell rolls of quarters, the limit was one per guest. We stopped doing that because there is no way to account for the sale and CO would have a fit!

Cigarettes and alcohol are the big questions I get, and occasionally stamps.

 

[SuzyTarget]

We used to sell/make change for guests at my store too until a short change artist tried to scam me out of $90 one day at the service desk. He ask me for a $100 bill in exchange for 2 fifties and then tried to convince me I gave him a $10 instead. I didn't fall for it but he hit the Target up the road and they did. Ever since our AP says no change ever for anything but a cash purchase. The guests sometimes get real pissy about it but AP is very strict about it so we always get backup from leadership on it.

rubbing alcohol is in firstaid/hba ... we dont see consumable alcohol at our store
for some SCREWY REASON we dont sell weather radios/radii in electronics.
Nevermind the fact that we're on the prairie and the LOD gets all panicymcnancy pants everytime weather changes

I LOVED those emergency radios that were hand-crank operated, had the blinker/flashlight/siren/cell phone charger!
When they went clearance, I bought some for relatives.

 

[TargetOldTimer]

Receipt books and at Christmas time, Staplers and staples for hanging Christmas lights! Target really should make an entire full endcap of those.

 

[GrumpyAP]

I think we could keep Target afloat if we just removed everything except for the 50 Shades series and Adele's latest album.

Or everything except women's swimwear.

 

[GrumpyAP]

I think there's enough of those giant bouncy balls from toys out there in the world, we could tie them all together and make another planet.

 

[CartStryke]

Or everything except women's swimwear.

Having worked fitting room, I think the guests only try on the swimsuits. Not buy them.

 

[Thinktank90]

Amazon gift cards and ICE. Every day people ask me if we sell ice.

 

[StaticSun]

Amazon gift cards were in electronics w/kindle accessories. There also might be some on the entertainment endcap.

Ice is included with the p-fresh expansion.

 

[Thinktank90]

My store has neither item.

 

[candyland]

My store has neither item.

Wow, no ice is surprising.

 

[Thinktank90]

Yeah, we have a very limited market section.

 

[TargetOldTimer]

Yeah, we have a very limited market section.

Even before we had pfresh, we at least sold ice.

I don't know. When I'm cashing, it seems like every other guest is buying a swimsuit.

 

[lovecats]

I don't know. When I'm cashing, it seems like every other guest is buying a swimsuit.

Or multiple swimsuits.

 

[babytrees]

Or multiple swimsuits.

that's because for every swimsuit they buy they have tried on, on average, 30 other pieces. At one point we had two packed z-racks of just swimsuits this weekend and those were all the try ons.

 

[mrknownothing]

One I seem to get a lot lately is Amp Energy. At my store, we have Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, etc., but we don't carry Amp.
