About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Target one morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘This place is cursed.’ As he unloaded boxes, an item kept sliding off the conveyor belt and landing in his path. Finally, exasperated, he picked up the wayward object and threw it back onto the belt—only for it to ricochet off and hit him squarely in the nose. A nearby customer laughed so hard she dropped her shopping cart, spilling cans everywhere. The delivery driver shook his head, muttered something about bad luck, and went on with his day.

2. At Target one night, a security guard overheard a whisper on the intercom: ‘Watch out for the self-checkout aisle—there’s a ghost who likes to scan items for free!’ Curious, the guard checked the cameras and saw nothing but an empty aisle. The next day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he’d seen an old lady scanning everything with a big smile. Turns out, she was just Target’s newest employee—a friendly neighborhood retiree who loved discounts so much she never left the checkout line.

3. At Target one afternoon, an employee swore they heard a faint humming coming from the aisles. Curious shoppers followed the sound until it led them to the frozen foods section, where a lone ice cube seemed to be singing 'Happy Birthday'. As they got closer, everyone realized that the ‘singing’ was actually just an old tape recorder hidden inside a box of strawberries. A nearby delivery driver admitted he did it as a prank for his friend’s birthday. The whole store erupted in laughter, and someone even suggested making it an annual tradition—‘Target Sing-Along Day.’

4. At Target one day, a cashier muttered under her breath, 'I think I just saw that same shopping cart three times today.' Later that evening, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen her granddaughter’s pink purse. The cashier shrugged, ‘It was right here in line… or maybe it wasn’t.’
