Tbf I feel like the covid boom probably created a lot of jobs that are now obsolete

The cart/basket cleaning for example. They milked the shit out of those hours for the front end

That was important for "safeness" (the illusion of safety and security) during that time. People were scared. Money well spent

Store side layoffs?

Seems like a normal thing each time a new CEO arrives.

Oh yeah I agree. I was doing it for a while and people thanked me for a while. It gave me a good excuse for the pinpad screen being dogshit too. I'd just say "oh, we've had to use some strong cleaners to make sure it's safe to touch these, it's messing with the touchscreen." I'm not entirely sure that that's not one reason the units were replaced

But are any of those jobs at the corporate level? According to the article, those are the jobs being cut, at least for now.

Designed this FDC truck sorting scanning every box process gets laid off

Why cant they look at the walmart model and just replicate it. Palletized freight, huge aisles that hold alot on the salesfloor . Lets sell things by putting them on shelves as efficiently as possible.
These stupid mother fuckers got too fucking creative and made everyone’s lives miserable. Stupid fucking mother fuckers. Now suck it, you fucking assholes.

The chain should improve and upgrade their air handling systems in the stores. Similar to bulk conveyance motion engineering, every Target store, at the entrances smell the same. Distinct to Target it's rather nauseating and resembles gassing off from cheap plastic and subpar paint. I'll fire off an email to the new CEO.
