I didn't even think about the increased transactions is most likely "one per transaction" being enforced more and more. I did think that the advertising the in-store coupons and price matching but yet finding reasons to deny those coupons and price matching would increase profits. Unhappy customers too.

I wonder if you need to put the highest priced item on the belt first.

Agreed on the price matching and other Target Q issue ,again affecting managers bonuses, based on profit and the pressure to increase profit.

I have been thinking about this for awhile due to the problems I have encountered in store and really have come to the conclusion we are stuck between corporate demands on managers and corporate policy which are coonflicting to some extent, from a store manager point of view..


I'm inclined to think in light of there political choices and the pressure coming from there that are using the "transaction" count as a measurement of customer base #;'s and there is increased pressure on management there to up those #'s also. By pulling the limited # of q's per transaction they are fudging those #'s

Did anyone ever get a good scan of the q's? I still haven't caught up yet...

Quote from rachael_9667 :
It is so dang hard to wait but you are doing everything correctly. My sister was induced with her 3rd kid - the first 2 practically fell out (she went into labor on her own) and she almost didn't have the 4th. It was a hard hard labor chock full of medical intervention: pitocin, epidurals, internal & external monitors, and on and on. It took her hours to deliver that kid and she and the baby were totally wiped out. Hang in there mami hug
Thanks! I need the encouragement. It is so tough to wait when you want to see your little darling and snuggle, kiss, and smell their little baby heads.

Quote from dreemedayze :
Sooo sleepy. Supposed to go back to SA tomorrow but I am so sick and tired of the drive. Someone go for me. Please!

We rescued a pom from a family.
I would go, but DH won't let me. Sadwalk

Congrats on YOUR new baby!!! I wish mine was as easy to get right about now! LOL!

Quote from gt6mk31 :
Reading this made me think about our first one. It was around 11 or so at night and all of a sudden out of the blue I wanted a beer so badly I couldn't stand it.
Hmm... I have been wanting a glass of wine for most of the day and am totally tempted to get some. Reading this makes me wonder if I shouldn't indulge!

Quote from love2beeamom :
Ank- Hope you are walking and having a "good night".. doctor told me that about DH with my pregnancies too. I always went overdue.. but, I tell ya the truth.. At 9 months pregnant, that was one of the last things I wanted to do LMAO I wonder why if she could feel the bag why she didn't go ahead and break your water and try to move things along? Maybe she was afraid you wouldn't progress and then they would need the pitocin afterall.. I know with mine, I seemed to start contracting after my water broke.
I'm kind of sort of the opposite... LOL. Poor DH... I bug him ALL the time. *laugh*

I think that they didn't break my water for that very reason. I think they worry that if you break the water and nothing happens, then not only do you have to go on pitocin, but there's the increased risk of infection or something. Especially since pitocin induced labors tend to last longer, etc...

I'm hoping that the fact that my cervix is stretchy and I'm at 5 cm already, then my labor won't be so bad or long. I'm half way there already, so once it really starts it *should* progress well. At least, naturally you would think that. I really hate the idea of the pitocin, so I am just being uber stubborn on it.

Quote from .teri. :
LMAO Why do I get visions of you standing at the door waiting for hubby to get home so you can tell him to get busy performing his husbandly duties Roll
tee hee hee... Wink

I hope you get back in the swing of thing soon. hug I know that I've had times where I just needed a break and was completely unmotivated - even with freebies galore out there or super duper deals, etc... sometimes you just need the rest.

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
Good luck Ank. One of these days I'm going to get on here and find out little Mavis is here!
It's bound to happen sometime!!!

(right??)

Quote from setsail :
More good luck wishes, Ank. Have you passed your due date? My memory is a little foggy this week so I don't remember.
Tomorrow 8/20 is my official due date. My doc says she doesn't want me to go past 8/27

Quote from thismom4deals :
How many Juicy Juice does one have to purchase to get the MP cat???
I thought that I read in deals earlier today that someone was made to do each one separately because of the 1 tq per transaction thing, and ended up with 30 cats...

Quote from Tracy1106 :
But I sure would have LOVED to have only spend $44!
[snip]
I wonder if you need to put the highest priced item on the belt first.
I don't know if it's what they used, but I used to buy books at half.com and got GREAT deals.

As for the item placement, I don't know for sure if you *have* to, but I would do it that way just in case.


Oh - I did have a question about some 14's I tried to wear earlier this week. I keep forgetting to ask if anyone else has tried some on and if they fit funny like they fit me.

This is baby's active time. She does not disappoint! *laugh* I can see her little foot print sometimes! And she even sticks her bum out hard enough you can see the little bumps of each cheek!

I've had a few contractions today and LOTS of pressure. I sure hope there's some more progress. Going bonkers here!!

No scan yet

I don't blame you for wanting it over laugh out loud

Drink the glass of wine for sure

Yup, that's the reason to avoid any intervention - it's a slippery slope.

14's fit good here - pm me though if ya wanna talk about it

I have a crazy baby, too - sometimes I lay on my back just to watch the 'show' lol

Hope the contractions pick up - drink the wine, do the deed & tell us your birth story in the mornin' Big Grin

14's fit pretty good here. Oddly, I seem to be a much happier non-bitch when I can fit into a 16 or a 19. Damn target and their new sizing strategies.

I dunno... it makes you wonder why things can't just all fit the same at every store. You'd think things would be standardized by now.

Ank....Today is the day!

Yesterday I wanted KK a chocolate covered donut with custard filing. Oh my gosh it was so good in my fantasy, At least I didn't go out and search for the donut! Because who ever buys ONE kk at a time.

Weigh in was yesterday. Another half pound gone. Still waiting to see where I am on the list. Last week I was number 7 out of 135 on percentage weight loss.

Need to shop this weekend. Hmm. Will look at printing coupons tonight and start shopping! Wish there was more time. I think I have over 100 RR to use to by Saturday/Sunday and there is NOT a thing I really want to buy.

Have a great weekend people. Ank if you don't hurry up Racheal will have her baby FIRST!
