🚨 TARGET IS FORCING EMPLOYEES TO APPROACH EVERY SHOPPER - WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT
Target just rolled out something called the 10–4 Policy.
At 10 feet, employees are expected to notice you, wave, and make eye contact.
At 4 feet, they are required to walk up to you and start a “warm conversation.”
Target says it’s about being welcoming, but they also admitted sales are down and they are in a race for your dollars this holiday season.
A marketing expert said the quiet part out loud. Teaching disgruntled employees how to act nice only guarantees awkward, forced, uncomfortable interactions that feel fake the second they happen.
Reporters tested it inside a Target. They smiled, made eye contact, and tried to spark the new policy. Nothing happened. No wave. No greeting. No required conversation.
One shopper summed it up perfectly: “If you have to tell someone to be nice, you need new people.”
Target wants scripted friendliness.
Most shoppers just want to get their stuff and go.
Does this policy make Target more welcoming or more uncomfortable?
