Target wants its employees to spread some holiday cheer — whether they like it or not, according to a report.
The Minneapolis-based retailer issued a new directive mandating in-store workers smile and make eye contact and either greet or wave to any shopper that comes within 10 feet, according to Bloomberg News.
If a customer steps within four feet, then the service rep is instructed to ask whether they need help or how their day is going, the new guidance said.
Major retailers like Walmart and Disney have long used similar customer-greeting rules that require employees to smile, make eye contact and offer assistance when guests come within a set distance.
No need for that, I myself go into a store to purchase something I want or need. I don’t go there for conversation or to make friends. That’s what taverns are for. Now if target had a bar …. well that’s a whole different story.
Now, this guy has his priorities straight!
Don’t take to me
Creepy
What is creepy 6:12 ?
At my Target they are still wearing the face diaper.
Wasn’t that a SNL skit? Will they also be friendly to the Salvation Army?
Will they say “Merry Christmas” like they mean it or something else HR cooked up?
They should make the Walmart employees do the same. That is one sour looking bunch that work in the North Salisbury Walmart. Never a smile or greeting of any kind. Just grumpy.
You got that right!!
