Target Plastic Bag issues
🙂 From what most of you tell me, I gather that Target bags are awful. Hopefully these tips help a bit. Mostly they are observed from my own shopping experiences with my mom.
Here’s some tips that may or may not work
Ask the customer/guest if they need any bags if you aren’t asking already. Chances are they will think target charges for bags and will say no bags. I got my own. My mom did that once. She thought they were charging for bags. So she said no I have bags. Sometimes they’ll be only buying one item and not even need a bag.
Some will even think they have to bag their own stuff and will bag their own merchandise once you’ve finished scanning. And be done by the time you finished ringing them up.
Tell your customers if they bring their own canvas bags they will get a 5 cents discount. I have no idea if this is per bag.  Will need someone to inform me that lol. Even if you help them bag, this will save you time from having to wrestle with the crappy bags.
If they ask you where to buy the canvas bags, point them to the spot where target sells them. Pretty sure target sells them. Seen them used elsewhere where they charge for bags up here. Or point them towards the nearest dollar store.
Seriously buying a package of 200 sheets refill paper during back to school, using your own canvas bag to buy a package nets you bigger savings than a red card does lol
Hope these tips help!

Sadly you only save $0.05 on the transaction even if you bring 100 canvas bags. It's like the REDCard in that it's a big fat Target joke that only really, really stupid people fall for.
Every chain is a little different. From what i can find out on wiki and online, Loblaws used to give customers 5 cents in pts for every canvas bag if paying with the store cc or store bank debit. Now it's a penny in pts per bag. xD, that's why I wondered lol.
derp derp. Target's visa issuer TD Canada trust/Td Bank is offering their us version of the mbna sc in the states. 5% cashback at any grocery store for the 1st 6 months.

No idea if there's a max spend of 400 per month. Doesn't say anything about it. If you were to get a credit hit from td anyways. You might as well go for this one. 5% cashback at any store including target groceries.
Target is not right in the head if it thinks it
if it thinks it can compete i mean
At my store it's 5 cents/canvas bag. I actually hate dealing with them because the guest always tries to get me to squeeze everything in them until there are no spaces left. Also they flop down a lot so I ave to jam items in there while holding the bag up with the other hand. With plastic bags they are already being held up by the metal tongs.
