I wonder about the stores that are open until midnight. Does thst mean tjey will stay open until midnight on Friday night?

 

[qmosqueen]

Our store closes at 11pm Thursday then reopens 1 hour later at midnight.
I hope that gives flow enough time to set the street dated stuff

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Not here.

It would be midnight on Thursday night

 

[Hardlines God]

My store closes at midnight on the regular. We are opening up for the day at 2am. 2am - midnight, good luck with that closing zone.

This is literally the first I've heard about this. Communication is terrible at my store

I heard they really weren't supposed to talk about it until it was announced publicly. So.....

You haven't been with us very long.
It's kind of our thing.

Exactly plus there was a thread about it last week

Oh I missed that thread. I'm not on here much these days.

Our store closes at 11pm usually, but supposedly we are just staying open until 2am. Don't know how that's going to work...since we have to set everything. I guess we'll see. I'm not looking forward to working it.

I meant on a store level they weren't supposed to, being the STL and ETLs, but we all know how that goes. Besides how can you not tell someone about it when all of a sudden on the two weeks out schedule they notice they are scheduled until 2am.

I've been watching this site many years before I actually signed up.

 

[SoCalMama]

Hmm there are 3 cashiers with 8 hour shifts on the swap board. I certainly hope my store isn't doing this.

ETA- all of those shifts are on Sept 1st

 

[dannyy315]

I’m off that day lol

 

[SoCalMama]

I’m off that day lol

Same! And I'm not picking up a shift.

 

[dannyy315]

Same! And I'm not picking up a shift.

I’m working that Saturday and Sunday thought, it could be just as busy because of the weekend

We are closing at 11pm and then reopening at 12am.

 

[StockerAce]

We are closing at 11pm and then reopening at 12am.

That makes sense. On the Target website it notes that my store will be staying open until 2am...nothing about closing for that hour.

 

[TTGOz]

My store is doing it, not sure if start or close times are any different, I haven't heard anything.

My husband recalls us opening an hour early one year. I've blanked it out apparently

 

[Saul Goodman]

Just looked up the hours. About 8 targets near me or within about a 45 min drive, none are doing the midnight release. Looks like target dropped the ball on this. They could've had some big turn outs around here.

Closest target to me is about a 1.5 hour drive. Guess we'll have people lined up Friday morning when we open
