About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Target one night, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does everything cost an arm and a leg around here?’ Suddenly, every item in his cart seemed to inflate like balloons. Just then, a nearby customer turned and asked, ‘Are you okay?’ The driver looked down—his shopping cart was filled with helium balloons instead of groceries! With a sheepish smile, he replied, ‘Guess I’ll be making another trip tonight.’

2. At Target one morning, a cashier sighed, ‘I swear, every customer today is buying more toilet paper than they can carry.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with three massive boxes under each arm. The cashier raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Sir, are you planning a picnic for an army?' He smiled and replied, 'No, dear, I’m just stocking up on TP for my grandkids' sleepover.' Everyone laughed, including the cashier, who thought maybe she’d learned something new that day.

3. At dawn, when Target’s parking lot was empty but for one lone car, a security guard noticed something strange. A shopping cart slowly rolled down the aisle, its wheels clicking like clockwork. Inside, a voice whispered, “Just one more item…” As the guard approached, he saw an old coffee mug on the shelf—obviously not there before. The whispering grew louder: ‘Just one more thing for my morning routine.’ Turns out, it was just an over-caffeinated delivery driver who dozed off behind the wheel and left his favorite mug in the store.

4. At dawn, when Target's parking lot was empty but for one lone car, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention shoppers—today's special: buy one disappointment, get one free!' A delivery driver, scratching his head, asked aloud, ‘What the heck is “one disappointment” anyway?’ Just then, an elderly neighbor emerged from the store, muttering under her breath, ‘I’ll be darned if I didn’t forget my list again.’ The intercom clicked off with a staticky laugh.
