It's Saturday morning. You've set your pick up stops for the day, but you really want a Starbucks. But who needs one more line....said everyone ever. We've become a society that just wants out stuff brought to us while we sit in our car and I'm fine with it. That's why we love the curbside feature most stores are offering now. The one thing we're missing. The Starbucks coffee we can get inside the store. Sure we could go to a drive through and wait in another line, but why? Well, that's about to change
Starting this fall, Target will be testing an option at certain locations for customers to add a Starbucks order to their pickup order. That means they’ll bring the drinks and snacks you order right to your car, along with your laundry detergent and throw pillows. Target says adding Starbucks curbside pickups has been a “top request” from customers, so they’re finally going to give it a try. Shoppers can order on the Target app and let them know when they’re “on their way” to make sure their order is fresh.
But that’s not the only change they’re making to entice us to stay in our cars and shop:
- Target is also going to test curbside returns.
- And they’re expanding their “backup item” options on order pickups. Customers can choose a backup item to replace their first choice if it’s not available. Target says they’ve “successfully substituted backup items 98% of the time” since it’s been in use.
- They’ve also recently expanded curbside services to let shoppers pick up alcohol with their order.
