I do not think the excitement is because of Target.  I think it comes because Tulsa Hills is an opportunity for Tulsa to capture back some of the sales tax from its citizens without seeing them travel to the suburbs for their goods. Tulsa needs to get to $20 Million/month in revenue from sales tax.  This city relies on it too much for it to be any lower.  Now, we are seeing monthly receipts around $17 million.

Maybe we'll see it in 15 years when the bonds for the Tulsa Hills TIF are paid off.  Right now, Tulsa won't see any of the sales tax from these vendors as it is dedicated to debt service as part of the TIF.  In fact, you could argue it would hurt Tulsa's sales tax by taking it away from stores from which Tulsa DOES receive sales tax.  It will be interesting to see what happens.

We went to Target this morning for the supposed "Grand Opening". We got there around 9 and no big festivities for the "Grand Opening". Not that we were going for that, I just thought that they would have done more. The design of the store is exactly like Owasso's. They have a few more groceries than a regular Target, but not as many Super Target.

The one down side to our experience. They had 1 whole cashier working!!! There were at least 6 people in front of us. Someone went and complained and the manager came out and said that they were slammed yesterday and a lot of people quit(couldn't take the heat/pressure)!! How sad is that? Either its poor interviewing or people lied to get the job and said they worked well under pressure.

So, if anyone is looking for a job Target is hiring cashiers!!

OMG...the "pressure" of being a cashier these days is a joke.  Everything is done for you.  Only thing you are there for is to do price overrides and take coupons.

My god this country is going down the tubes.

Ha...One time I was @ 71st Target and I gave the cashier gal a diaper coupon...she said "Umm...I don't know how?" and gave the coupon back.  Right up with the time a worker asked me how much cash I was giving her and how much change she should give me.

And of course, there is like 1 cashier for 30 registers.

I  went Thursday and Friday and there was about  8-10 cashiers every time. So in theory, 90% quit. They didn't seem to have a problem with me buying 13 cases of pop, each with a coupon. (156 cans for $21.16... ka-chow!)

Well, yeah!  They have great kid stuff!

We actually were going to take some coupons with us, but decided not to overwhelm them. Glad we didn't since they were already overwhelmed!!

That's a heck of a lot of coupons!! Where did find that many?

does Targut not believe in self checkout?  It works semi-well at Wal-Mart...when you don't have to deal with an idiot in front of you who should never be let near something electronic.

Every 2 liter, 20oz, and 12pack for the Diet Cherry Chocolate DrPepper had a $1 off coupon. Target had 12 packs for $2.50. Ta-da.

Diet cherry chocolate DP- just nasty.  Did you ever drink it all or use it for weed killer?

I bought a two liter of that stuff last Christmas.  It didn't see much action until I put it in the garbage.  Nasty.  Waste of a dollar and a half.

Drank it all, they don't make it anymore. The new Cherry DDP is better.
