why all the hate?
i see it as a scalper deterrent. (although it would be nice if they actually had some product out on the pegs) i saw them at local targets when i got back from japan in may. right when i was looking for the target vehicles. i was kinda bummed because i was going to ask if they had any until i saw that. driftbot + target = still friends i even spotted/reported a shoplifter a couple days ago.

Ya they always used to ask me...
when I looked at Wii :is there something I can help you with? Im like "no" but thanks ocassionally i would ask "you dont have the wii do you"? and they would reply... NO SORRY ALL SOLD OUT with that exact face.. I think they secretly get off on that shit.. "No sold out " thats ok... I get off on randomly filling up shopping carts with bull shit items and leaving them in various areas of the store.. ever seen one of those? I was prolly at your target... like "fine bitches don't look in the back' but earn your pay check and stock the shelves MONKEY!!!" |

eh, the ones after the planes could be movie related. I don't think I'm too interested in the battle pack thing.

I HATE going to Target now cause EVERYTIME I go there, I get stopped by a customer who asks me, "do you know where _____ is?"
THEN they give ME a weird look like I am being rude when I tell them, "I DON'T WORK HERE" I have a red polo with Khakis that I wear to work every week. I ALWAYS forget I am wearing it and go into Target. (stupid me) Then I wear my blue polo with Khakis and go to Wal-Mart-same damn thing. On top of it, I wear a lanyard with my company ID and access card so they hit on that right away. One of these days I am going to walk up to a group of Target of employees and introduce myself as VP of sales and ask why they are standing around doing nothing when there are shelves to be filled and EE's to be helped. Betcha they scatter like roaches. |

I have seen that sign before, but it is never consistent. I have seen it at a few stores and thought that it was a Target policy. That was a over two years ago. It's not nationwide as there are people posting they have asked employees to pull stock and some were able to get them. I guess it is a way to keep those people from asking every time they come back and ask to pull stock from the back.

it's a very vague statement at best. what exactly is a collectable? that could refer to every toy or ptroduct in the store depending on the persons point of view. if it were that much of a problem, as suggested by soeone else, create a collectable aisle and post that notice. whatever fall in that aisle is clear cut. putting a notice on one or more toy shelves will onyl lead to frustration as the buyer and employee can both argue for and against the point.
this being said, i can count on one hand the number of times an employee refused to look in the back despite what the machines tell them. you treat them kindly and nearly all the time they will do the same. walmart is another story... forget tru and don't even get me started on kmart.

This stuff is there to piss off the local "Hot Wheels Guy" who is the one jerk who has caused these problems in my area. He's the one who has repeatedly abused policy at Target and we all have to pay now. I hope this frustrates scalpers to no end.
