Target Tries to Dodge Disaster with "Black Friday Swag Bags," Fails Miserably
Swag bag wtf
Swag Bag Contents?
Just saw the Black Friday preview ad. This is going to make our stores a nightmare. I imagine that probably only one of the 10 of the 100 bags per store is going to be a $100 gift card, but this is going to make our stores insane.
Literally so disappointed I was 10 out of 100 and waited three hours for this LOL
So, can anyone tell us of anything that’s inside the Black Friday swag bags (other than the potential of a coupon for a free high value item)? Like what are some of the freebies inside all of the 100 bags? All I’ve been able to see is possibly a pack of Uno cards???
Also reading the terms, it says 13 and up. I saw in another post someone else said it clearly states 18 and up in the terms but when I read it, it definitely says 13. Anyone that works for Target can you confirm it’s 13 and up?
The only thing that might save us, is that Labubu are Black Friday door busters at Walmart this year. And, not many people seem to want the weird Chinese knockoff Lafufu type dolls that we are selling.
I work front end (very frequently service desk) and just found out about the swag bags for the first 100 guests on Black Friday. And yes, I am opening bright and early on Black Friday. I just experienced my first Pokémon release day last week and while it wasn’t terrible, it came as a surprise and definitely made us all a little tense right at open (we had people camping outside that morning).
I keep seeing TikTok comments talking about “bring back crazy Black Friday! I want to see some fights!” And like yes I love watching VIDEOS of the drama, but I really REALLY don’t want to be involved.
I just had a difficult guest interaction the other day and I’m just bracing myself for next Friday. If anyone has any advice for working Black Friday front end that would be greatly appreciated! Godspeed to you all as we enter this next week. 🫡
Every single video I’ve seen on social media belongs here. Every single person bitched about waiting in line for so long, because you had to be one of the first 100 people. Every single person bitched about what was given to them for free, with no purchase necessary. I thought it was kinda cool that Target and some other companies did this for their customers.
