Today I went to the Target in Killeen looking for the DVD Packs. They were in the middle of a reset and getting ready for the Star Wars for tomorrow. I SAW THE TAG FOR THE DVD BATTLE PACKS!!! So I found a nice guy with a SCANNER.... and asked him to scan the barcode and see if there were some in the back. After he looked at the scanner, he looked somewhat confused. He told me to sit tight and he went and got another employee around the corner. I could hear them chatting about something but couldn't make it out. Then the other dude (not the nice guy) came right back to me and said "THERE ARE NO TOYS IN THE BACK." And I said "No Toys???" And he replied "Yes there are no toys because we are going through a reset. Now I know for a fact that the fool was lying because on the same aisle they had the STAR WARS Pegs ready for figures and it said "STAR WARS JULY 26, 2008". THAT FOOL LIED SAYING THERE WERE NO TOYS BECAUSE STAR WARS IS COMING TOMORROW AND THEY GOT ALL THAT CRAP IN THE BACK RIGHT NOW!!!! And the confusing look on the nicer guys face was a hint to me that those DVD Packs were in the back also. SO GET READY KILLEEN... THEY ARE THERE AND READY FOR THE PICKING!!! Sorry I couldn't get them before I had to go on vacation.

I wonder what would happen if you tried this same approach with a jacket or pants or something?

I guess it must depend on the store and the employees because the other day I was in Target after they had redone their shelves for the reset and I noticed they had a sticker for the DVD packs.
I found somebody and asked them if they are able to check stocks and he met me in the aisle with his store gun, shot the item and it showed they had some in the back. He brought the case out for me and put them on the shelf. PS - I had checked the DPCI numbers prior to asking and it said "in stock" so I just casually asked and they were more than kind to help me out.

That store would give you the same answer. It seems to have adopted the "Don't ask about the items in the back" policy that many Targets have taken on.

It seems target is getting less and less friendly with the customers. Lots of horror stories on here. I wonder if they are telling the employees and their little meetings now to do so.

What happened is since they didn't complete the reset yet.So when they punch up the DPCI in the scanner it will show a backroom location but no home(salesfloor) location because the reset wasn't completed yet and that DPCI was not yet tied to that particular shelf location.Managers are getting strict with collectors and telling their employees not to pull an item in the back if it doesn't have a home location yet.Sometimes you're lucky if you find someone that doesn't work in that dept. and they'll get it for you anyway but its really a flip of a coin in different Targets

Ya know, I took a wait and see approach with the DVD sets (I had them on preorder already) but I went to Target this morning to pick up a couple of new Star Wars figures and lo and behold, I saw 4 sets of DVD packs. I was able to just pick up my two, no asking someone to go against Target policy, (I don't care if it's good business practice to sell what you have in the back, it's Target's rule and me being a guest in their store won't ask for them to break their rules anymore) no getting in a huff because someone won't sell me an item in the back, and no having to delay people from doing their job so they can tell me they can't sell me the item yet. Patience pays off, I feel relaxed and have my toys now, that is a great combination

I go to Target with my girlfriend (we're in our 30s) and I'll get her to ask a male associate if there are any more items in the back and 8 out of 10 times, the associate will come back with cases.
