- 10:23These

- 10:37than
- 10:37intent
- 10:38situations.
- 10:39So
- 10:39I
- 10:40think
- 10:40the
- 10:40discount
- 10:40increase
- 10:41is
- 10:41smart,
- 10:41especially
- 10:42tied
- 10:42to
- 10:42own
- 10:42brands.
- 10:43That's
- 10:43margin
- 10:43friendly
- 10:44and
- 10:44it
- 10:44reinforces
- 10:45in
- 10:45internal
- 10:45brand
- 10:46advocacy.
- 10:47But
- 10:47let's
- 10:47be
- 10:47honest,
- 10:48employees
- 10:48don't
- 10:49get
- 10:49excited
- 10:49about
- 10:49apparel
- 10:50discounts.
- 10:50It's
- 10:51not
- 10:51something
- 10:51that
- 10:51we're
- 10:51selling
- 10:52in
- 10:52the
- 10:52talent
- 10:52industry
- 10:53and
- 10:53the

- 10:54that
- 10:54we
- 10:54have
- 10:55as
- 10:55a
- 10:55big
- 10:55thing,
- 10:55I
- 10:55mean
- 10:56maybe
- 10:56once
- 10:56in
- 10:56a
- 10:56while
- 10:56but,
- 10:58but
- 10:58I
- 10:58think
- 10:58Target
- 10:58set
- 10:59up
- 10:59well
- 10:59for
- 10:59that.
- 10:59If
- 10:59if
- 11:00their
- 11:00employees
- 11:00already
- 11:00want
- 11:00to
- 11:01wear
- 11:01their
- 11:01product,
- 11:01that's
- 11:02a
- 11:02great
- 11:02selling
- 11:02point.
- 11:03So
- 11:03I
- 11:03think
- 11:03this
- 11:04dress
- 11:04code
- 11:04piece
- 11:05feels
- 11:05like
- 11:05Target
- 11:05trying
- 11:05to
- 11:06regain
- 11:06some
- 11:06operational
- 11:07control
- 11:07in
- 11:07stores,
- 11:08which
- 11:08feels
- 11:09like
- 11:09the
- 11:09right
- 11:09move
- 11:09for
- 11:10the
- 11:10customer
- 11:10experience
- 11:11and
- 11:11even
- 11:11operationally
- 11:12with
- 11:12leadership.
- 11:13It's
- 11:13never
- 11:14an
- 11:14easy
- 11:14task
- 11:14to
- 11:15monitor
- 11:15dress
- 11:15code
- 11:16when
- 11:16there's
- 11:16ambiguity,
- 11:18but
- 11:18from
- 11:18an
- 11:18employee
- 11:19standpoint,
- 11:19I
- 11:19think
- 11:19it
- 11:20could
- 11:20feel
- 11:20like
- 11:20a
- 11:20step
- 11:20backwards
- 11:21at
- 11:21times
- 11:22in
- 11:22flexibility
- 11:22and
- 11:23autonomy.
- 11:23So
- 11:23it
- 11:24certainly
- 11:24is
- 11:24going
- 11:24to
- 11:24depend
- 11:25on
- 11:25how
- 11:25it's
- 11:25rolled
- 11:25out
- 11:25within
- 11:26the
- 11:26stores.
- 11:26If
- 11:26it's
- 11:27done
- 11:27right,
- 11:27I
- 11:27think
- 11:27the
- 11:28employees
- 11:28will
- 11:28enjoy
- 11:28it,
- 11:28that
- 11:29there's
- 11:29consistency
- 11:30and
- 11:30clarity
- 11:30there.
- 11:31So
- 11:31biggest
- 11:32risk,
- 11:32if
- 11:32morale
- 11:33is
- 11:33shaky,
- 11:33it
- 11:34lands
- 11:34on
- 11:34a
- 11:34more
- 11:34rules,
- 11:35not
- 11:35more
- 11:36clarity.
- 11:37But
- 11:37I
- 11:37think
- 11:37it's
- 11:37smart
- 11:38operationally
- 11:38overall.
- 11:39So
- 11:39if
- 11:39it
- 11:40works
- 11:40for
- 11:40the
- 11:40store
- 11:40leadership
- 11:41and

- 11:49So
- 11:49from
- 11:49a
- 11:49talent
- 11:50perspective,
- 11:50which
- 11:50is
- 11:50why

- 12:02Right?
- 12:03Yeah,
- 12:03it
