Target leaving Canada!

[kiwis-mom]

Well all i can say about today is thank god I'm off until Sunday….
between people RUNNING in the doors right at 8am to save that 10%, to the cops & ambulances that had to come ( a mother left her baby unattended & he fell out of the shopping cart…) to all the RUDE vultures that yelled at us, all day long over prices we have no control over…i can honestly say it will take everything in me to wake up Sunday morning to deal with this all again haha….

thankfully, i lost my filter around 8:30 this morning soooo chances are if you dealt it out, i dealt it right back. sorry, not sorry.

Good Grief! Sorry you had a rough day.

Bargain hunters leave Target sale frustrated and disappointed

I'm not sure what people expected. Liquidators want to make as much money as possible so the discounts usually take a while to reach the 90% off mark. Although some people are saying that the discounts are not clearly marked.

that is exactly what i expected.... it's why i never got up and ran out of the house this morning.. yes things are clearanced but that does not mean it's drop everything start the car clearance the first day

10% on toilet paper, 5% on tablet, etc... sound like a joke is going on at target... i would wait for a bit longer until they have everything it at 70% off

I never thought I'd be defending Target but I find it funny people on my FB etc are complaining about Target screwing up liquidation - not high enough discounts etc. The discounts aren't up to Target anymore now that the liquidators have taken over, and it's the same gradual process as all other liquidations.

...and remember to be nice to the cashiers (they could really do with a smile and a kind word).

Be nice to the cashiers, it's SO EASY to do, and is a sentiment worth repeating.

haha ohh, they have been coming in since the announcement…i can't even count how many times i've been asked when we are closing so they can get the best deals, i simply tell them 10:00pm

& personally, i would go…maybe not right away, as we are starting at 10-30%(very few items are actually 30% *hint makeup*) but look out for the sign board walkers on the streets/corners, they'll let you know what the % is at without even stepping foot in the door…the way i see it, at this point we can't stop what is happening so we might as well get a good deal out of it before all the 1st time voltures come swooping in haha.

I closed last night. My LOD put me in Pharmacy and Beauty. Pharmacy is a breeze to zone. I rev logged half of beauty. No one wants to buy chewed off lipstick (Yeah. I found a few that looks questionable)
When I left, it was empty. I was content.

Sounds like you expected to much from the media. Blame them not us, most team members couldn't confirm or deny the deals.

Honestly people, if you find Target's liquidation a joke, go home and stay home. Don't be rude to the Team members. We're already loosing our jobs, we're being as friendly as we can with you. Some of my co-workers are venting on facebook and posting their stories.

Also, if you're gonna wait till everything is 70% off, don't complain about the condition of the item it is in.

Where's here? In Ontario they didn't participate in SCOP, it's voluntary.

People complaining obviously dont know that if you wanted 70% off you shoulda went last month when it was target business as usual!

Honestly it was mostly gawkers at the store i went to today, ppl who were just walking in a daze and seeing for the first time what items are available. I just beelined to the items i wanted and had a lovely cashier help me get out in a jiffy.

Pajama ppl heard the words "black friday" and went bonkers lining up before the stores opened.

The LINEUPS were going to compare to black friday, not the discounts lol. They should have paid attention.

You bet....these poor people have to deal not only with losing their jobs (really rough at this time of year) but then they have to deal with long lines of people, some of whom are really just total jerks. Giving the cashiers and other employees a smile and a kind word is really a small thing to do but it could help them to have a little nicer day (and yes I know it's not as if it will change anything for them--if only we had jobs to offer, but kindness never hurts) and builds up your good karma to boot!

I'd be telling people off too. There's no need for people who have never been in Target store to give you attitude.
VULTURES OF WALMART please stay out of Target and stop complaining about how things are so much cheaper at Walmart, when if you had actually shopped at Target you'd know that regular prices were the same if not cheaper than Walmart. Also pajamas are meant to be won to bed, not in public.
And to the media would you please stop interviewing people who went to Target ONCE when they first opened and came back when they annouced they were closing. Getting so tired of hearing the same crap over and over again in every f-ing artical/interview on Target, from people who clearly have NO CLUE what they're talking about. If Walmart is so much better/cheaper stay there and let me enjoy the last few weeks of my happy place in peace.

Why so much hate for Walmart? buy from wherever you get a good deal. All business are in there to make profit and all people like us are there to find best deals. Doesn't matter where you buy from, as far as you get a good deal...

I haven't been into Target since they announced their closing, though I will go at some point (although I get rather teary eyed thinking about it).

But watching the news tonight, and reading the comments on the blog about the lower discount prices makes me angry. Target was an amazing store. They had good sales, clearance prices that I've NEVER seen at Walmart, and the staff was ridiculously nice and helpful. People who think they should get 50% off everything because they are closing should have shopped there when the store was still alive - you could have scored amazing deals! Instead, they go, get mad, and then harass staff who have nothing to do with pricing.

Because we don't want good deals on wolf blankets and other such crap. We like good deals on nice things
