Not much of a story, but the title caught my eye and made me laugh.
So, he finally noticed?
Excerpt: "The key to running a store generally comes down to the quality of the store manager, and if we don't have a good store manager, then the person I hold accountable is the market manager," he said. "We're at a point now where we're putting a lot of pressure on that group to step it up and to get these stores that are letting us down to a level which we know they can if we get the right team in place."
What this idiot fails to realize, is that if you're the CEO, and you're mad half the time, it's a safe bet to assume that most of your customer base also is.
There's also a linked story about their self-check program being killed off over theft, but here, it seems to be all the management wants to have here. The last weekend evening I went in there, there were 2 cashiers and lines a mile long. The usual.
We probably all have the same complaints, and personally, I avoid shopping there if I can. If the Target wasn't ~50 miles east, I'd go there. I usually go to Meijer, which is only about 25.
