Talk:Spencer Gifts

Company Propoganda?
It looks to me as if the people at spencer's took away the NPOV... just look at the second paragraph The Hemogoblin 01:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Demographic Disputed?
The article states that the demographic targeted by Spencer's is disputed and directs to the talk page, but there is nothing here on that topic. Spencer's employee training documents teach new hires that the target demographic is "Jack and Nikki," 18-24 year olds with a sense of humor who like to party and have an irreverent view of life, though it goes on to say that anyone can be a Jack or Nikki if they are young at heart. I've had no luck digging up copies of any official documents online, however, so perhaps someone who is a greater master of the search engine than me could take a look? I would say that their own statement of who their demographic is should be sufficient, however, once it can be found somewhere to be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.109.27 (talk) 02:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Purchasing Discretion
The article suggests that Spencer's applies an age policy regarding who can see and buy certain items (explicit, adult toys, etc.) by checking for identification. However being a former employer and working for the company throughout the scandal on the news, I am very familiar with the policies. Not only in my specific store but i am aware that in the entire region we are part of the company made very clear that Spencer's will not enforce an age policy and nevertheless I.D. checks. It is solely based on the guests maturity level and the employees judgement, most of the explicit items are mainly in the back of the store but not necessarily true since some can be found throughout the store, however when it becomes evident that small children or just certain guests in general lack the sensibleness around the items or at the moment of purchase than employees may intervene. It is a policy that the employees simply can not ask for an I.D. at any moment. Nchalco (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC) nchalco
