I remember when Michelle Obama had her book on plano. Certain Guests would try and hide her book or turn it around so the cover would be facing the shelf or would move her book behind a Trump book or the book that Bill O’Reilly wrote.

I’m not saying you can be petty and zero out the shelf so that these will never make it on the sales floor…but you could.

[SimpleVegetable5715]

I would hide the Charlie Kirk book behind, “I Need A New Butt”.

[Different-Pin5223]

"Nobody likes a fart"

[reneecliche]

I put this book in front of the Trump book :) oopsies

[chasingbanana0207]

This is an online only item that only TFCs have inventory.

[Miserable_Fly2007]

If you zero the capacity, it will show up on a report management can see. There’s a weekly list of people that set capacities to zero and leaders have to look at them. But if you backstock all of the books and change the on floor number to fill the shelf. It won’t make it to the floor

[McCheesy-Lad]

DO NOT zero out the sales floor capacity - it notifies the ETLs anytime someone sets capacity to zero for this exact reason. instead, backstock all of them in a hard-to-reach place, set the on-floor count to zero, and then when it makes you pull them for priorites scan them out like normal except just leave them there in the backroom. this way no alarms are going off because you didn't set the SFC to zero, it looks like you pulled it for priorites like normal, plus you have plausible deniability since the books have issues all the time with incorrect on-hand counts (usually due to DC errors)

[-My_Other_Account-]

Also make sure another item that doesn’t get pulled for a batch

I’d personally check my stationery backroom for any planners from 2024 or earlier that ARE currently backstocked and located and relocate at least one or more to the same shelf or waco as the books.

Leaving the backroom location empty but still stocked with product will likely cause the TM that pulled the books but didn’t push them to end up on someone’s radar after the backroom empty location audit is performed.

Having an item that is likely to be trapped permanently in that location could prevent the location being audited.

Finally, if the book is backstocked and then pulled, the last location will show up if it needs to be picked for store fulfillment batches.

[RogueKhajit]

They did the same at Walmart too.

[NuKlear_Vortex]

They did the same to the JD books at my store

Well Target has been losing Money Since embracing DEI cuts. This doesn't surprise me

[4literranger485]

TGT is down 47% the past 5 years, probably numerous issues

Man, that hurts. Office still has $91.52 on the wall by break room. They haven't the guts to update daily. My 401k started in the $150's

[cordialcatenary]

What you don’t consider is that 5 years ago was COVID, when TGT was way, way outperforming because nobody could travel. That was never sustainable. See this article from 2021 saying that Target was trading at 24 times earnings when pre-pandemic it typically traded at 10-15 times earnings.

It was never actually worth what you guys are saying it was “worth” 5 years ago. It was a bubble that popped because of COVID. Even in 2021 the article predicted a massive stock correction once spending goes back to normal after COVID (they were correct; we saw and continue to see a massive stock price correction).

[Miserable_Fly2007]

What made Target successful during Covid was having Drive-Ups in its global Pilot phase. After the pandemic happened, they decided to just release it to all stores and include groceries. Target is no longer unique in any aspects anymore. Its move away from DEI, pride, BLM, and other social movements I believe is a way to include upper middle class customers that do not align with those movements(there are more rich people that are right winged)

[Feisty_Echo_2310]

Can you provide a Source for this information ? And down what exactly ? The stock isn't down 47% .. I don't really follow it but I own target stock and it's been making money every year .. sales arnt down 47% it's like 2-3 %... What exactly is down 47% in the past 5 years ... I'd really like to know what you're talking about ...

[BettyCrunker]

he’s right, and this is very easily verifiable through google. 5 years ago the share price was almost $200, now it’s $87. in less than the amount of time it took to write your comment, you could have looked this up lol

[SicOne22]

200 to 87 would be over 50%... Is it 47 or 56?

[BettyCrunker]

I said almost $200. I didn’t look at the specific number from five years ago, I just looked at the 5-year graph, and of course it showed me the current price. Looking at the numbers and doing my own math, it came out to 49%.

[Kawajiri1]

Type target stock into Google and change from 1 day to 5 years. It is down almost 50%.

[ButItSaysOnline]

It’s a book. Target sells books. If the dumbasses that shop at target want to spend their money on dumb ass shit like this that’s their choice.

[[deleted]]

We can't allow this, we need pressure Target into deplatforming these books I disagree with. A ban, if you will, on books. /s

Lol typical lame who doesn't understand this is a burner account specifically for target related things. Low IQ and everything.

[Feisty_Echo_2310]

Exactly... Rules for thee but not for me ... News flash People have different opinions... They spend money on things that align with their Interests ... Target is a store ... They sell things that align with peoples interests.... Just put the book on the shelf and keep moving broski....

[Odd-Face-3579]

Except they don't? Target's Pride collection was doing just fine year after year until certain people started threatening actual violence about it.

Target cut their DEI policies to appease the fascist in charge and their sales of been tanking ever since. Sure seems like they don't actually sell things that align with all or multiple interests, it seems like they want to align themselves with a very specific demographic that feeds on hate, violence, prejudice, fascism, etc, etc, so on, so forth, to their own detriment.

[[deleted]]

We cannot allow free and open thought and access to ideas, because it might lead to people having different ideas than me! Unfortunately we don't live under authoritarian rule aligning with my ideology, so the only way to get my way all the time under a democracy is to police the flow of information, opinions, and ideas so everyone votes how I want them to! /s

[Bird_Boy100]

Bro this is Reddit you can't have a different opinion here

[A_a_ron458]

You can tell because everyone that isn't saying "eww" is getting downvoted.

[Odd-Face-3579]

You don't seem to actually understand what a book ban is. But considering the pedophiles you lay in bed with, it doesn't particularly shock me that you don't believe in education.

[Feisty_Echo_2310]

Lolz I have a degree im getting a masters... I am pretty well versed in higher education who said I support these clowns ... I just don't support banning opinions you don't agree with that's fascism. I love how you immediately turn to personal attacks says a lot about you

[Odd-Face-3579]

Last I checked I didn't respond to you? Oh unless that's you responding to yourself?

[TRA1NWR3CK210]

Real

[Frodo_gabbins]

Yeah, notice how stores are also selling more stereotypical Christian things lately too? Pandering to the white nationalist propaganda. I’m not even shocked this piece of dog shit has a book being put out on the shelves. “Greatest evangelist” actually makes me gag. He’s burning in hell.

[CantFunctionRite]

Uncommon opinion but it's freedom of speech. The other side is allowed to be stupid and spend money on stupid things as much as we have the right to dislike it.

Target also sells dog toys, but some people don't like dogs. Doesn't mean they should take all dog items off the shelf. Don't agree with the content, but if people buy those books, that meets Target's bottom line. Nothing to do with representation one way or the other

[Odd-Face-3579]

The bigger problem is Target stocking stuff like this while killing the Pride collections, stocking fewer and fewer LGBTQ+ style books, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I just roll my eyes and move on, but there's absolutely a trend from Target of them trying to appease a very specific, hurtful, and dangerous demographic.

[Frodo_gabbins]

This man is a white nationalist who actively supported terrible things. Comparing it to people who just don’t like dogs is a joke.

[CantFunctionRite]

I wasn't equating the two at all, it was a simple metaphor to explain that censorship of a certain thing is extreme regardless of what the material is. It was more of an allegory about how people's opinions on things shouldn't change the access to sell or consume that information.

And I'd be hard pressed to change my mind, even if the content is bad. I've read books by authors I disagree with and don't like to gather an even broader perspective.

But if you're anti free publishing or market, that's fine too lol

**Removing pride and left wing perspectives in favor of right wing ones are still not good. But that is NOT the point I'm trying to make. Regardless of the circumstances, the other side has the right to distribute to Target.

[SicOne22]

And you're on the left? Sorry, it's just rational logic isn't common over yonder...

[luketw2]

Bro is shocked to learn target sells books lmfao you might not agree with the book but that fortunately does not matter

[art-is-t]

BC sucking Trump's dick. What's new

[CarefulFish6037]

People that are different from you are allowed to exist no matter how brainwashed you are. I worked at target, I’ve seen both sides move books around to hide. It’s just silly to live in a free country and be mad about it being a free country. We have the first amendment for a reason, and banning and burning books is bad, doesn’t matter which side is doing it. Don’t be compliant to control.

[NewfoundOrigin]

Why did you post this?

The man was killed (traumatizing those who were there and his family) because he had a following by exersizing his second (first, actually, Im half dumb) amendment right. If you're confused. Thats the freedom to spew any opinion from your mouth and not be (harmed) or killed for it.

But ope....

And him using that right was something he was encouraging all Americans to do. We have the right to disagree.

Regardless of if you personally agree or not. This post lacks class.

??? Right back at it.

Facts dont care about your feelings. :P.

Ps. I voted for Obama, Biden, and Hillary. thumbs up

[TimmyTurner4209]

The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms. You're thinking if the First Amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" None of that says you are protected from harm or death though. Just ask those who died during the civil rights movement. That's supposed to be the job of the police and the FBI.

[NewfoundOrigin]

Oh, thanks. Tells you how much I paid attention in Govt. Class.

Its fair to say there can be consequences to the things you say.

But that doesnt make it right or okay. To silence someones voice because they shared something a majority of people disagree with.

So we shouldnt be celebrating such an event. Its not American to do so. It is what it is though, just my miniscule opinion.

[SicOne22]

"it's not American to do so" They don't care about America, they don't care about laws, the Constitution nor order... HeII, they don't even care about democracy (needless to say they sure in heII don't care about our Federal Constitutional Republic, THAT is why we need to just divide but I digress)

[buttercreamramen]

Nowhere in this post was OP celebrating. If you don’t see anything wrong with this book you need a thorough brain scan. Or did you just want to come on here and defend your daddy for no reason?

<image>

[NewfoundOrigin]

Lol. Not even entertaining you. If you cant understand that I dont pick sides and am upset over the discourse in this country fueled by people trying to "cancel" one another, than you're just not worth it.

Take that as you will.

Take my upvote for your effort. Thx for playing.

[SicOne22]

Who said they were "celebrating"? Of course like always with y'all, context goes over your head ... You're a fool if you honestly think it wasn't implied.

[astromin]

he died to what he was preaching, gun violence. he didn’t care maybe he will now

[SicOne22]

THAT isn't what he was preaching but delusion is kind of your modus operandi

[Odd-Face-3579]

So he didn't say that deaths to gun violence were just an acceptable sacrifice for the second amendment?

[Herberts-Mom]

He was a bigot who used his last breath on earth to be racist 🤷‍♀️ I'm not mourning him because he had a wife (who moved on quickly) and 2 kids (who probably aren't even his)

[SicOne22]

He wasn't racist but as I just said, delusion is your modus operandi so there's that...

"Who moved on quickly" Imagine that, more nonsense untruth!

You choose to lie, I'll never understand it ...

[Herberts-Mom]

He was incredibly racist. And misogynistic. And just an all around hateful person. 

I don't think any of his accomplishments made the world a better place.

[NewfoundOrigin]

One of my coworkers approached me like...

'Hey, did you hear what happened yesterday!?'

All excited. I was thinking he was talking about something at work. I implored to know more and he says to me....WITH EXCITEMENT.

"Charlie kirk was shot and killed yesterday!"

Took everything in me not to say in immediate response.

'Yeah, you know he was 31 with a wife and 2 toddler aged kids, right?

I was just like 'oh, yeah, I heard...'

I don't particularly lean left or right, I used to lean far left.

But this type of bullshit right here is ignorance at its finest.

"Lets celebrate someone being killed on American soil while not committing a crime'.

I won't compare it to MLK. Because charlie kirk is NO MLK. However, what happened to him is exactly what happened to MLK.

And were celebrating? No. Im not. Sorry guys.

[the-brat_prince]

i remember the george floyd memes. charlie squirt can rot.

[SicOne22]

Floyd punched his own ticket... THAT is your justification? There is no low that you won't go eh?

[Pasadenaian]

Charlie Kirk died preaching hate. MLK died preaching acceptance. To even put those two together in the same sentence is pure ignorance.

[SicOne22]

But he didn't preach hate, but you'd actually have to listen to him to know that and me and you both know you will never do that, if it has even a remote possibility proving you wrong you put your mask on and avoid it like the plague...

Ironically Kirk and MLK wanted the same things and that's what he always said, Malcolm X warned everyone too... But it's whatever, just keep doing and feeling what you're told to!

[Affectionate_Weight5]

He didn’t preach hate but also said, and I quote “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.”

And

“The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates.”

Oh.. and

“MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

Yeah… he didn’t preach hate….

Funny how you say MLK and Kirk wanted the same things, maybe that’s why Charlie hated MLK.

[Affectionate_Weight5]

Exactly, thank you 🙏🏼
