Target

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Target when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes near the electronics section, he kept hearing whispers coming from behind the shelves. Curious but cautious, he glanced around and saw nothing. Was it his imagination or had someone—or something—just called out ‘battery life’? Finally, after searching for what seemed like ages, the driver found an old remote control buried under some boxes. He grinned sheepishly, thinking maybe the batteries were really low—and that’s why everyone was whispering about battery life! Back at the break room, a fellow employee teased him, saying, 'Next time you hear voices in Target, check your own phone first.'

2. Have you ever wondered why there’s always a long line at checkout in that particular Target? A regular once asked aloud, ‘Do they secretly stock out of everything on purpose?’ Turns out, an enterprising delivery driver had been sneaking extra items into his truck during night shifts—enough for everyone to wait forever! When caught red-handed, he claimed it was just his way of paying back Target for all those years of overcharging him for coffee. Moral of the story: never underestimate the lengths people will go to get free stuff.

3. A neighborhood kid was trying to sneak some candy from the bakery section when he accidentally knocked over an entire display of muffins. Just then, a delivery driver happened by and, thinking it was part of his job description, started restocking the fallen muffins. Before anyone could stop him, he’d placed every last one back on the shelf—upside down. The kid burst into tears as everyone stared in stunned silence until a neighbor cracked a smile and said, ‘Well, that’s Target efficiency for you!’

4. While restocking shelves one morning, a Target employee found an old photo album hidden among boxes of cereal. Curious, they opened it only to discover pictures of employees posing with mysterious packages. As she flipped through the pages, she noticed one picture where a regular customer was smiling next to a package labeled ‘Free Groceries for Life.’ Turns out, it was just a promotional giveaway poster from five years ago. The employee laughed and thought, ‘Next time I’ll check before assuming mystery packages mean something sinister!’
