I never like to hear that people are losing their jobs.

I love Target. I am sorry to hear this. That isn't a logical reason why they are letting people go, how does that help online sales, I don't understand that. I prefer to shop at Target anytime vs. Walmart. Walmart is so big and dirty. I only go there when it's necessary which isn't often.

I spent 20 hours a week in Target stores from Nov. thru Feb. selling and advising people about individual health insurance plans. I worked in city, suburban and a country store, so I saw a LOT of different people and areas.
The volume of customers fell off SHARPLY after Christmas...like it does in all retail stores.
I passed out lip balm as part of my job to get people to our kiosk. I went from 3-4 bags each 6 hour shift - that's 450-600 lip balms...to half a bag or so.
I think it's seasonal more than anything else.
That being said - I wanted to buy a 4x5 ft. rug I saw in the store. The store only had one color - online there were 6 choices. I had to get it online.

Sorry to read this...I like Target...there was a time when I went into my local Target and there were employees everywhere...there was always someone asking if they can help you find something...or direct you to what you were looking for...always friendly...now...I am hard pressed to find anyone working on their floor....except the registers...
I can't imagine my store cutting back any further....

The article I read about Target layoffs yesterday said Target expanded into Canada which they lost a lot of money on and now need to tighten their belt so to speak.

I just heard on CNBC that the cuts are in their corporate offices - and in India.
NOT staff in local stores.
