Target is Implementing a New 10-4 Policy

[Tanko]

This is insane......

The new policy requires employees who are within 10 feet of customers to smile, make eye contact, wave, and use friendly, approachable, and welcoming body language, the Minneapolis-based retailer said on Monday, Nov. 10.

If staff members are within 4 feet of customers, they must personally greet the guests, smile, and initiate a warm, helpful interaction, Target said.

I wonder if this is our own @MinnesotaFats philosophy in his business dealings too since he obviously has Minnesota roots like Target

He does smile a lot and the 4' rule for interaction seems to be his standard operating procedure at bars when women are around.

Target has problems.

They're in the strange position where theyre priced a bit higher than WalMart, have a higher quality of household descretionary items and dont have the grocery selection or store brands that WamMart or a chain grocery has.

I wouldn't be surprised if their revenue per square foot dropped enough to start closing stores soon. People trading down trying to save $100 per month is what kills the premium brands.

Fawk all that. Let me shop in peace please.

They yap a bunch at my pick ups already so I dunno what’s goin on

 

[flashmo]

Is this supposed to get them back all of the business they lost by going woke?

I agree, most of the time I know what I’m there for and I don’t need help. If I do, I will ask.

 

[seaborneq]

Leave me alone and let me get in and out with the least amount of human interaction. This new policy will keep me away or playing dodgeball throughout the store.

THIS! haha..

 

[BMR Genie]

If I want to ask for assistance, I will talk and smile, of course, but if not, please stay away from me...

 

[jamesy2422]

they should hire bottle girls and cocktail waitresses to work during the day before their night shifts. imagine the guys thinking the women like them with this new policy.

That’s why I’m thankful for Amazon and DoorDash. Get stuff right to the house and not have to see anyone

 

[Wagerallsports]

I’ll go to Target occasionally but never understood why ppl shop their regularly when much of the same stuff is cheaper art Wal Mart

 

[clyde]

I will gladly pay a little extra to avoid setting foot in a Walmart.

Glad I don't work at Target though with this new policy, that would suck.

Has anyone experienced the new "friendlier" workers at Target yet?
Hoping to get a chicks number on my next visit.
