About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in Target's aisles, a regular noticed something odd: every time he passed by the pet food section, his dog would start barking wildly at an empty shelf. No matter how many times they visited or which brand of kibble was on display, the dog always reacted the same way. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over it, our regular discovered that another delivery driver had accidentally left behind a tiny toy dinosaur on the empty shelf. Every time the dog saw it, he thought it was real and started barking excitedly. The moral? Sometimes, even dogs can’t resist a good surprise in Target’s aisles.
2. In the late afternoon rush of a local Target store, a delivery driver left an unusual package on the loading dock. Curious shoppers soon discovered it nestled among boxes of toilet paper and bottled water—an old teddy bear wearing a handwritten sign that read ‘Free Hugs.’ Soon, people started gathering around the bear, taking photos and sharing them online. Before long, the store’s manager found himself giving out hugs instead of managing checkout lines. It became known as the ‘hugging manager,’ and customers queued not for discounts but for a warm embrace from their friendly neighborhood Target employee.
3. In the early morning hours at a busy Target store, an employee overheard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout lanes now accept groceries as payment.’ A few seconds later, everyone started scanning their bags of chips, cans of soup, and boxes of cereal. The cashier just shrugged, saying, 'Hey, it’s working!' A delivery driver even tried paying for his order with a carton of milk—and got charged double! In the end, nobody complained much; after all, who doesn’t love free groceries?
4. In the middle of a quiet night at a local Target, an employee heard a voice crackling over the PA system. ‘Attention shoppers,’ it said, ‘our self-checkout lanes are now accepting donations for good causes.’ The employee froze, but then realized it was just the store’s automated announcement system malfunctioning. The next day, everyone in town joked about how Target had started a new trend—donating groceries instead of paying for them. A delivery driver even claimed he’d seen a sign that read, ‘Donate 10 items or more and receive a free bag of chips!’ Nobody believed him until they saw him walking out with two bags full.
