Worst Day So Far

Last night I worked as a cashier, but before I went up to my station, some girl came up to me and asked where the air purifiers were. I suggested that she look at the home improvment part of the store, but she kept nagging sand saying "Don't Make Me Walk All The Way There" because I wasn't sure we had any. Then she left for good, and then two hours later, the real fun began. Just as I closed down my lane to switch to another one, this middle aged lady came up to me saying that her kid had a bathroom emergency since our restrooms were closed. I said to her that my lane was closing, but I also said that my new lane was only a few feet in front of me. Impatient, she started yelling at me saying that she was just gonna leave her cart and just go straight out of the door. She left her cart which contained a mop, diapers(ironically), a cd, and a pitchfork costume prop; yes, she is the devil... So I came up with this theory: CUSTOMERS ARE NICER ON THE WEEKENDS

Bikes and Beads

Okay so today, a lot of funny stuff happened. First, this guy came called for help in the bike section, so I came up to help him. He then started complaining to me about his bike return. He bought a bike a while back but didn't want it, so he came back to return it and get a refund, but he couldn't because LOD said that it had already been used and you can't get a refund on used products. He then got really pissed off in front of me (It was like he had an emotional breakdown or something). But in the end, he got an exchange for another bike. I hope he's ok...

Another bike story. This lady came to get bikes for her sons. Real easy right? -Not
in this case. She took a look at like five different bikes and made he sons try them out. After observing the bikes that were on sale, she then got into detail with her questions like, "How long can my son use this bike?", and "What if I don't like it, can I return it?" The questions weren't that bad though. But when the guys from the backroom came to get one of the bikes she wanted from the top rack with a lift, thats when everything got confusing. She couldn't buy the bikes because her car wasn't big enough. So we told he that she could reserve the bikes for 24 hours and the lady kept asking the same questions all over again. After she left, the guys in the back were laughing.

The final story of the day, the boy and the beads. I was walking down the toys section and this guy asked me if a bead playset was for boys or girls. I said it was a girl toy since it was in the girls section and of the colors of the beads. The saame guy came up to me and then asked me if I could say that the bead playset was a girl's toy to his son who wanted the beads. Heres the dialog:

Father: "Is this a girl's toy or a boy's toy?"
Me: "Its a boy's -I mean a girl's toy."
Son: *cries*
Parents: *smiles*

Yeah alot happened today, good thing no one yelled at me today though ^^

Halloween at Target

The Halloween part of the store is awesome! Theres a moving Edgar and Ellen tower and the Haloween stuff is really cool. They even have an adult sized chicken costume; I thought that was cool. They even have things from skeleton shaped light ornaments, to Halloween themed napkin holders! I never knew Target could get that dark haha

The "Coupon Queen"

A couple of weeks ago, when I just started working at Target, I witnessed the first of the weird customers. This lady came to Target with an item she purchased online and wanted to get a refund on it. She bought one of those diabetic blood sugar maintainers. Our store did not carry the item but she still wanted the refund. Anyway, it turned out that she used a coupon to save $20 and when she returned the item, she got $20 back! GSTL allowed it however, I guess for customer service, and then she labeled her, "Coupon Queen," which what I thought was hilarious.

Black Friday Anticipation

Even though its months away, I am still worried about Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving Sale. I hope I can survive it, but at least I can get a good story for Target Stories! Crazy customers are bound to be loose that day...

Hello and Welcome

Well I created this blog out of boredom just for fun. I just wanted people to know how interesting and crazy it is working at Target, or any retail store for that matter. I personally love working at Target, but its the customers that drive everyone nuts. Every time I encounter a conflict or tough situation with a customer , I will post the story up here. HAVE FUN!
