Back optics for Target with a black owned business during Black History Month.If we went through all of that malarkey for one error on wine, that's just ridiculous. I'm not saying that the question shouldn't have been raised (although wine isn't a necessity - contrary to what some wine lovers might think - so it's not price gouging in a legal sense), but to make such a huge, company-wide fuss over that? The particular product during this particular month makes it more noticeable and more politically sensitive, but still, it seems like a whole lot of overkill if that really was the impetus behind such an enormous task. (Although I'm not complaining about picking up a few extra hours to help get it done.)
Sexist. Not racist. Don't hog the -ists.But of course. If you need to escalate an issue, make it public and make it about race.
Modernization is racist.
Sure, it's bad optics. But to have such a massive task done for something like that? That's a little bit of overkill, if that's what it was all about.Back optics for Target with a black owned business during Black History Month.
I was told this was the reason. If this was one thing imagine all the other issues. We work in the stores and we know about the inaccurate labels.Sure, it's bad optics. But to have such a massive task done for something like that? That's a little bit of overkill, if that's what it was all about.
I've been working at Target for a couple years now and I was dumbfounded from the beginning there's no UPC coordinator (title I'm familiar with in the grocery store industry). Keeping tags updated, weekly sales tags, signage, etc would be a full-time job for someone and I believe well worth it to Target. It's not like you're paying people a huge salary and by contrast I'd expect they are losing a lot of revenue by not having this position, not to mention guest irritation at checkout when they realize the price is not what was they expected (and money lost when guests push the point to get the price listed at shelf...when it's lower}Maybe Target shouldn’t have gotten rid of the price change team.
If they wanted this done so badly why didn't they do this during overnights instead of when TMs are already dealing with daily tasks, push & guests?
Oh yeah....because payroll, silly me
True. Then, we cut payroll this week to cover it.If they wanted this done so badly why didn't they do this during overnights instead of when TMs are already dealing with daily tasks, push & guests?

Hyfr. When I run A sort I only look at the metrics screenNo it’s because all Target cares about is metrics. And all of a sudden the DC is sending tons of freaking freight our way. Today it look like fourth quarter Christmas with the toys that we received in. Tons of furniture and home decor also. Supposed to be receiving even more in the next few days.
I had the impression that hours were added to complete this task, but then right, we're having to shave hours and watch that we don't go over our scheduled times. Like I had time to do a whole lot of extra scanning and not do the back stock that had been piling up all week, much less put up a temporary side cap and put out all the product for a new tower.True. Then, we cut payroll this week to cover it.
I would just change it and let guest challenge price audit review it later. No reason to make the guest go through all that because Target can’t price correctlyIf i ever found a price that was off and they didn't want to ring out with me in tech i would tell them take a picture of the price that you found the item
The picture was just so the guest had evidence cause our cashiers don't carry radios for some reason. Plus its a pain in the ass to try to raise someone on radio for a price check... or the cashier might bounce them to guest services since they need to keep their line flowing.I would just change it and let guest challenge price audit review it later.

The cashier shouldn’t be radioing or sending them to guest services. Instruct them to follow best practices and make it right for the guest. They should just change it. All that stuff can be checked later after the guest has leftThe picture was just so the guest had evidence cause our cashiers don't carry radios for some reason.

So that's why i always tell people i can ring them out back here for that item if they wish... occasionally i tell them they can tell front end to call me in tech if they have a question.
Yup, i just don't know what our cashiers SOP is, so i try to Make it easy and right from my perspective being in tech. We also get a ton of scams so I'm used to dealing with that as anouther level of scrutiny. So many nefarious people think the tech desk isn't up on the latest scam when atleast in my store we are the hardest to get something by us.The cashier shouldn’t be radioing or sending them to guest services.
