Target Enforcing New Return Rule at Indiana and Kentucky Stores
I have a confession for you; I can't return items to a store. Well, I can but I basically have so much anxiety about it that I would rather keep an item I don't need than stand at the customer service desk waiting to over-explain why I'm returning the said item.
Target Now Enforcing Strict Return Policy
Target has low-key revised its return policy because of an increase in fraud. It used to be ok to return items without a receipt, but more people are abusing the system by shoplifting, and then returning the items for cash.
Target reserves the right to deny returns, refunds and exchanges including but not limited to prevent fraud, suspected fraud or abuse. Returns and exchanges without a receipt may be limited. Other restrictions may apply.
Enhanced Express Checkout
Self-checkout is either a love or hate way to pay at Target or any store for that matter. If there are only two cashiers open there is a good chance that I will head to the self-checkout. But recently, I was met with a new type of anxiety - 10 Items or Less. I've worked in retail and grocery, so I have full respect for the rules of the store.
This is supposed to make the self-check option quicker and perhaps more cashiers will have lanes open for those of us with 11 items. There is an 8 out of 10 chance that I will need a cashier's assistance because I didn't bag something quick enough.

Leave the Checkbook at Home
I think that we have a checkbook at home, but I honestly have no idea when I last used it. Sometimes you have to mail a bill or something, but writing a check at any store is almost unheard of. Almost.
Target stores no longer accept personal checks for payment at the cash registers. This is mainly because of the few checks they actually get and to save guests time at the checkout.
