RETIRED: Target chit chat

On the coupon discussion.. even though the screen is popping up, the coupons are still auto'ing down.. atleast for me. I used a nestle 2.50/2 bag coupon this morning.. Don't remember if that particular coupon beeped, but probably cause the rest all did.. anyway, I noticed on my receipt that it adjusted down in price to the cost of one of my butterfingers.
.

And now the cashiers have 1 more reason to deny perfectly legitimate cpns..Also if you think from a cashier's perspective, how many cpns are they going to K1...I would normally use 15-20 regular $$$$ cpns every tranny, I really dont think they would K1 so many cpns....Also even if you pad your order for GC deals, the cpns will beep making it a major headache...Who are these dumb programmers...

The upside to this is the cashiers will get used to every single coupon causing this error, and will get in the habit of K1'ing every single one without question. At least, that's my hope. That's why I'm giving them as much time to learn new habits as I possibly can, before gracing that hidjus store with my presence once again.

Setsail, I am very sad, because I looked through about 8 of the inserts I got, and couldn't find that glossy sheet. I still have another 50 or more to go through, so I haven't given up hope yet. What county are you in?

And, I am having tons of problems with stuff not scanning the same as shelf price. I know I should check everything at the scanner before checkout, but I don't always today, I got the simply lemonade singles that were shelf priced at 1.02 and noticed later they rang at 1.27. The kraft cheese with philly cream cheese in it was tagged at 1.84 but scanned at 2.04.. I got 8 bags of it.. And 2 nights ago, I grabbed some bacon that was tagged at 3.29 and it rang up over 4.00 a pack. I need to gather all my receipts, and take them back.. Target is cheating me out of money every time I shop.

They have not corrected the initial problem, just added more mess...

Someone posted in the deals thread that towels have been marked down further.

Target sells towels?? Based on the posts for the last week, I thought the only things Target sold were Curel and Glade Candles.

Given the Holiday season approaching and Target making these drastic changes, I see lots of problems in the near future.

Today is the last day to sign up for the TCC secret santa exchange. The site will draw your secret santa partner tomorrow I believe. I can have it draw today if everyone that wants to join has joined. If that's the case, let me know!

I hope I am not to late, we just got back.

I really feel bad for those cashiers this has got be a nightmere for them also, but I just wish they weren't so nasty.

I agree that they have just created another set of problems here and not effectively solved the original one.

Breakfast AND dinner...

But, here, I'll throw in a whine, too, so you don't have to feel bad about yours. I don't even have a dryer anymore The 20-yo POS in the basement finally gave out early this spring. Thankfully, I was able to line-dry over the summer, but now I'm screwed. Yes, I have a neighbor that still line-dries in the middle of winter, but I'm just not that good. I admit it.

So now I have to drag my ass -- and baskets full of heavy, wet laundry -- to the local laundromat, where I get a whopping 5 mins of drying time for every quarter.

And in other news: I think dh is going to come through with the iPad for my bday on Friday!!!!!!!!!

Did you know there is now only one in Iowa? In Clive.

Does this outfit make me look fat?

How come Rachael doesn't have cravings like Ank did? I thought all pregnant women had these (or does she just not share like Ank did).

I was wondering the same thing... *laugh*

Morning all! Love the banana.
Will leave in about an hour to take DS for surgery. My new nephew is getting stronger, they removed the breathing tube, but now are trying to figure if he has a virus or not and ordered an MRI for a cyst they are watching. At least SIL got sprung from the hospital she was at so she can be with him since he was transfered. What a day!

When someone brings a big corp. into the spotlight and gives them a "fraud" label, they will do everything they can to cover their ass.

That's all fine but here's the problem.

The cashiers are not trained properly in coupon usage, coupon verbage, or entering of coupons. Some cashiers are told "if the coupon scans, we take it." A big majority of the time the coupons that don't scan and deduct are target's own coupons. They aren't fraudulent or invalid, they just aren't properly coded.

It makes for a headache of a trip. The downside is that this new CCV screen will slow down the checkout process, irritate managers and cashiers, and leach their good time from their checkout score. That in turn will cause more limits and denials on valid coupons. Which causes more consumer complaints.

Target thought they were unlabeling themselves by doing this but now they've created a bigger problem. Consumers that don't use coupons will opt for a competitive retailer for speedier checkout where a screen isn't prompted on every single coupon. Before any of the updates the coupon & checkout process at target was fast and most cashiers were friendly because it required no extra thought process on their parts. (ie. the register did all the work) Now it's going to be a PITA and more and more coupon consumers will find other outlets for saving money.

Given the Holiday season approaching and Target making these drastic changes, I see lots of problems in the near future.

Is there anyone else who stresses about going on a vacation, make lists of stuff to take, work to be completed around the house, etc etc...

You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig....

....I tried explaining this to my ex before he remarried, but, did he listen....? No.

Does he wish he did......? I'm guessing yes.
