<p>In the last edition of The Wal-Mart Weekly, I peered into the <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/02/08/the-wal-mart-weekly-customer-returns-process-shows-severe-weakn/">customer returns process</a> at the world's largest retailer. This week, Wal-Mart will go on hiatus for a week while I perform the same experiment on its closest competitor, <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/target-corporation/tgt/nys">Target Corp.</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/target-corporation/tgt/nys">TGT</a>). As such, Target is my special guest on this week's Wal-Mart Weekly.</p>
<p>Although it seemed to me that there was a process breakdown and too much of a liberal take on returning several items to Wal-Mart in last week's column, it was a little different at Target. At least the packages were looked into this week, but there was more to it as well.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/02/16/the-wal-mart-weekly-target-becomes-a-guest-in-the-customer-retu/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Wal-Mart Weekly: Target becomes a guest in the customer returns process</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/02/16/the-wal-mart-weekly-target-becomes-a-guest-in-the-customer-retu/">The Wal-Mart Weekly: Target becomes a guest in the customer returns process</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sat, 16 Feb 2008 12:40:00 EST.
