"AP please go to 6..."

"...yes, 'no barcode' for $364.99 seems to be our only option."

"...um, I guess I'll write something on the receipt?"

 

[Omnitech]

I love how they force circle now as well, another annoying step for electronics team members to deal with on top of everything else.

 

[sunnydays]

yeah it’s not really a big deal and i bet you weren’t asking about circle beforehand so it’s a net positive for guests anyway

"Yea uhh Ap? Ch 2 please?"
"So my serial number isn't being accepted, yea I hand typed it too, "
"Yea ok just sign and date it with your name and time back to 1"

Forcing Circle at Starbucks though is just ridiculous.

 

[sunnydays]

why. lotta guests go through starbucks, lot of deals in circle for starbucks drinks on a regular basis

 

[DBZ]

I am not a fan of the forced prompt, but the last time they forced it, I got 8 red cards that month.

 

[Anelmi]

Yes but only if you preloaded the offer on your app/computer at home. The phone number prompt on its own does nothing but add the 1% to their aggregate $.

 

[sunnydays]

ok and that’s bad why? then they get a text to download the app and sign up and can utilize the deal on their next visit which will likely happen before the promo ends

like if you are actively talking loyalty with every guest (the way you’re supposed to), the forced prompt shouldn’t be adding any time to your transactions. this goes for starbucks as well as every other facet of the store team

all this does is 1) make it so that you can’t arbitrarily skip the prompt for guests by hitting pay and 2) make it so that you do actually have to talk about circle to guests

which is, you know. part of the job whether you’re in starbucks or electronics or guest services or wherever there’s a register

For future if that happens the guest should call Nintendo to get the replacement codes

Agree. Absolutely!! And Nintendo will send them straight back to the service desk at target! Just like consumer cellular, Verizon no one wants to do their actual part of the deal. They make it extremely frustrating for the guest, I’ve even heard excuses from those companies saying store side didn’t do it correctly… we even print duplicates of receipts and attach to card. Example recently the tms at store gave used activation code. 🤦‍♀️Target has the funds to obviously make it right but so do all the others mentioned. Lol!

That's with any company honestly. It was Christmas time and we just wanted to make it right for them so we just printed it off

I taught front end about dark mode on the register. Lmao

If you do dark mode on a register, will it force you to use dark mode on a zebra?

Honestly doubt Target thought that far into it.

 

[TurgetCirkl]

It looks really ugly though. I wish it was like a gray rather than just full on inverted colors

 

[BurgerBob]

I like it better then the white its more helpful for eye strain to me

 

[TurgetCirkl]

totally agree. Just wish it was a bit prettier. Like have the background still be black (or preferably a really dark gray) but have the buttons remain the same colors. Like the pay button shouldn't be purple IMHO. An actual dark mode not just inverting the whole screen

 

[sunnydays]

that’s because it’s an accessibility option not a “dark mode”

 

[TurgetCirkl]

I get that I’m saying not only would a dark mode be better than invert colors but it would be better on the eyes and prettier for the guest.

 

[BurgerBob]

I just hate the vast swathes of white. So invert colors is nicer for me

 

[seasonaldude]

As someone with bifocals, I really love the invert option. Please keep it as is.

why not have a dark mode and an invert mode 🤷‍♂️

 

[seasonaldude]

Probably what we really need is a quick and easy way to adjust screen brightness.

 

[ricanaire]

Do the dark mode like how it is on the iOS app.

 

[sunnydays]

if they do it’ll be a separate option but i doubt it since it would just be a cosmetic thing and not an accessibility one
