About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular was scanning his groceries when he noticed something strange on the shelf above him. ‘Why does Target keep selling self-checkout aisles?’ he asked aloud, and ever since then, some customers swear they’ve seen cashiers disappearing into thin air. Finally, one day an exasperated delivery driver yelled, ‘Do you sell these things just to confuse us?!’ Since then, employees joke that Target’s secret mission is to train invisible cashiers for intergalactic markets.

2. In one aisle of Target, a regular was checking out his shopping cart when he spotted an unusual item—a tiny plastic dinosaur wearing glasses and carrying a notebook. No one else seemed to notice it until the dinosaur started whispering prices into the scanner. The regular smiled, thinking it was some prank by a delivery driver or a neighbor with too much time on their hands. As he walked away, though, he heard the dinosaur muttering, ‘Next up: organic kale—$3.99…’

3. One day in Target, a regular was scanning his groceries when an unexpected voice said, ‘Hey, I think you forgot something!’ The man looked around, but no one was there. Then he heard it again—this time from behind him. Turning slowly, he saw only empty shelves. Suddenly, a friendly voice called out, ‘Don’t worry, mate! It’s just me, your friendly neighborhood Target ghost.’ Everyone burst into laughter as a delivery driver waved from the back aisle.

4. In Target’s toy section, a curious child pointed excitedly at a shelf, asking her mom, ‘Why do these dolls keep changing clothes every night?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'They're not really changing clothes—just different ones on display.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled, pointing again, 'But Mom, why does that teddy bear look like he’s wearing pajamas?'
