<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nTake our recent purchase from Target. Target was running a special on SIMS 4. So my wife ordered it – and chose the “Woodstock” store for “in store delivery” without realizing that there where multiple Target stores in the “town” of Woodstock. (ironically – neither in the actual town limits… just postal codes). See – we live about 10 miles to the WEST of Woodstock – 7 miles or so from the West-most Woodstock store. The Store she chose? was 10 miles further East. Any savings on shipping would be eaten up by Gas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon discovering our mistake (almost immediately after submission) we called Target customer service to tell them we will pick it up in the OTHER Woodstock store… <\/p>\n\n\n\n Turns out – they do not keep the “Target edition” in the store – it was an online special only. Awesome. So update the store? They can’t. They can only cancel the order – and we can pick a new store when we place another order… We did finally get a hold of the store and get the first game canceled – what a pain. So the game came in – and I was able to run out in the rain last night and pick it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n And what did we get? Take a look at the image to the right. Yes.. that’s exactly what the box looks like…. look close…<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seriously Target. You shipped out a box… that only contains… I had to use my Gasoline to go get a box… that only contains…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now I am NOT a Continuous Improvement specialist like by friend Hanson Turner. However, I am still pretty good at looking at processes and identifying problems that could be improved….. lets see… how about….<\/p>\n\n\n\n And why make a pretty package for something only available online in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n as the next gen would say… #SMH<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the last 16 years at work, my company has been generous with the improvement training and seminars.

So we did that. A 2nd order later… we go to cancel the first? Nope. Can’t. See – they can’t cancel a ship to store because the stores and internet are not linked. We have to go by the store…. to cancel.
So now we have two games on the way.
