In the past week or so we were told to accept expired coupons, change prices on items if guests say it was lower then it rang up – up to 20.00 and all in all do anything to make the guest happy. Bend over anyway possible to please them.
Sales are down, redcards are down and they don’t have a good marketing team.
Do they really think that all that bending over is going to bring in more redcards? Management is stupid..all it’s going to do is let the people who enjoy ripping the store off, rip it off even more.
The only way they are going to start getting redcards is to do some WOW tv, radio, Internet commercials and offer something special, something new.. Doesn’t corporate get that? Stupid.. Just stupid..

(11) So even with the fear of using credit cards, debit cards and redcards, people are still shopping in our target, though I can’t for the life of me get a red card out of anyone for at least a week, with the exception of a few stragglers who are willing to sign up for debit cards..
As a cashier, I have had to listen to the constant stupidity of guests, asking me if its safe to use their cards.. THEN when I say yes, those same people go into a song and dance about how their bank is reissuing them a new card and blah blah blah, who gives a shit..

There are a handful of people in the store who are very qualified to handle the position.Three of those people applied for the job but were told that they were hiring someone new to target who had more experience. If it were you, wouldn’t you feel like it would be a slap in the face?. I feel bad for the people who were turned down. I see them training this new person and see her talking down to them. I’m waiting for her to fall on her face. She is a young girl, who has no understanding that you have to be nice to people on the way up, because you will need them on the way down.
I do not understand target. This was by no means an improvement for the company. It has made an already low morale place, even worse.

Lets say I am ringing out someone and am trying to put things in the bags..the guest holds up a big bag of paper towels and says can you scan this so I can put it on the bottom of the cart. They never say let me know when you are ready and I will hand you this to scan.. So I have to put everything down to reach for the gun to scan it in order to make them happy. And I do it with a smile on my face while thinking – did you not notice my hands were full?
