Target is taking a page from Amazon's book and launching its Deal Days sales on October 13 and 14

Target's Deal Days kicked off last year. In 2019, the sales event took place on July 15 and 16, coinciding with Amazon's Prime Day event.

The center gets credit for the pieces if package cars pick them up. They don't if a feeder does it. All a numbers game and the centers profit picture. Every center is like a company within the company and has its own profit numbers.

We have the same thing. They'll send 6 package cars to stop there on their way in and take what will fit. I have received two different answers from Center Managers as to why.

One center manager said that it is too expensive to send a trailer to pick them up. If that's the case, fine, save money. Another center manager said that if feeders picks them up, the package center will not get the credit for the pieces. OK? So waste a lot of money just to make your center look good?

I don't know which reason is correct, but it sound pretty stupid either way.

Your manager is a dope and wants those pkg cars to pick it up to make his #s look good.
I am a WAD feeder driver , and was picking up two Targets a day at about 2-3 thousand packages ,, I would drop an empty trailer at one target around 2am on a Saturday so they'd fill during the weekend they were so busy

Because if they send a feeder your center doesn't get the credit for the revenue

We have a feeder pricking up Target, among others, but it’s all unloaded at our building.

It's all a numbers game, just like everything else at this place.

Just like when a center gets charged with accidents by UPS who self insures.
