Archived Porn leads to SLO Target Evacuation

And by the same token, our STL stops the reminders (when the projected daily sales aren't being met) in the hopes that guests will stay longer and buy stuff.

Then I bet he complains about payroll when they don't buy much.

He does his best.

The disabling of the overhead system is really annoying. Last night, we had a whole slew of guests come up to the registers right at 11 because that's when the lights turned off. I clocked out nearly 15 minutes after 11 because of this. Spot knows that the cattle need to be herded with the 15-, 10- and 5-minute reminders!

Actually, we still tend to have guests checking out past eleven even with the closing announcements. The only real difference right now is that we are walking our zones before the store closes and telling the guests in person instead of over the loudspeaker.

Disable by spot.

They did it at best buy too the prank.

you can't overhead page from our checklane phones, I've tried.

I was able to make closing announcements from checklane phones at my first target, but i can't do it from checklane phones at my current store.

Anyone know if/when we get the intercom back? I have guests screaming at me because I can't page their loved ones, and it's a pain to get people out at night with no closing announcements. Getting sick of it quickly.

We have had ours back for a few days.

Still don't think a "guest" did this, though. Was likely an ex-employee.

It was a former employee, who posted it on reddit, which then lead to numerous other people doing it around the country.

Ah, yes....
The ubiquitous 'disgruntled ex-employee' (as if there were ever a 'gruntled' one?).

Ahh, anyone have the link on REDDIT? that would be fun to read lol.

Don't be getting ideas, Barcode....

Don't you guys have a microphone? We have one in our TL office.

I find it disturbing how Corp can just disable features in stores like that with ease

How so Employee 626? Target only wishes to reward your compliance.

I mean it's not like Spot doesn't already do that with each new MyDevice update anyways.

You aren't supposed to page for loved ones, anyway. We would if it was a small child who knew their parent's name...but that was pretty rare.

We explain it's a privacy and noise issue, and then they simmer the hell down most of the time.

It can't be that hard to just delete an extension from their own IP phone system.

Silly shit.

Stupid shit.

But it's not a privacy or noise issue to have the GSTL's screaming over the walkies about redcards every 3 minutes???

And it's not a privacy or noise issue for us to butt into a guest's business to tell them about Cartwheel, Target Mobile Coupons, Redcards, Target Subscriptions, Pharmacy Rewards, etc????

SMDH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
