Target — Local services in San Marcos

This afternoon, I drove over to Target. Carts were lined up, so I took one and headed towards electronics. I needed to buy an over the air antenna. I have cable too on another TV. Frankly, I like both types. There was only one type, Philips, range 50 miles for $29.99, so I bought it. Then I went over to rugs as I needed a small rug to put underneath my dog's 2 dog beds as they moved on the linoleum floor. Yes, 2 beds for one dog ! As a Labrador- Retriever, she likes to stretch out. And also my cat likes to sleep in a dog bed too. In the rug and carpet section, there were many on sale, but I bought one for $30. ( And it's on the floor now, supporting 2 dog beds). I went up to the male cashier, and he was efficient and nice, saying, " Good afternoon." I paid, and he said, " Have a good afternoon. " I said, " Thank you. And for all of you, too." I had been talking to the woman behind me about "her 2 and 1/2 cats." She said, " One tries to come in." Upon leaving the store, I was going to push my cart into the cart lines by the door. A man, though, was putting out carts in a row for future shoppers. He said, " You can put your cart here if you want to." I decided that would be easier than trying to position the cart into a straight line. I said, " Thank you, that will be easier. And to have a good day." I'm commenting on the dialogues because it shows people can communicate and be friendly. Regardless if a person is a worker and the other is a consumer, a kind word or smile can make someone 's day. Today, it...

After I finished my errand at Tanger, I headed over to Target, as I had several items to purchase there. I always find if you need help, the stockers are the best people to ask in the store. A young woman helped me to find an anti- itch cream in the CVS Pharmacy that is located in Target. I went to the toy section to find a gift for a 3- year- old great nephew. I found a Disney themed vehicle on an end cap but no price. I took it over to the red box that tells you the price by reading the bar code. However the screen said " to add your password " And it would not go forward. I asked a stocker if she could help me? And she said laughingly, " It doesn't want your password " And I said. " I know because it's a 1,000 letters long." She worked on it and it went back whereby one could read prices. I thanked her for her help. I then wandered over to the DVD Section as they have good sale items. I saw a Gone With the Wind DVD for $5.00. I have a video of it but I don't use my video machine that much. I add it to my items. I always checked out with a cashier. At Target they greet you pleasantly, say a word or two about the merchandise, and wish you a great day. Target is kept well in stock. Merchandise is in its place. And the store is cleaned. I make a point to come here and do...

Purchased ingredients to make a Ceasar salad and thought I would stop by the food court for a large size of popcorn to consume later on at night whilst watching "Sully" (the airplane that landed on a river). I noticed for the second time in two weeks that they were out of popcorn so I asked the employee if he could make some more. He replied it would take 10 minutes to which I replied "I'll wait".

I wandered around the pharmacy area. Ten minutes later I show up only to find out he's not making anymore popcorn in fact they were shutting down the food court because his relief called in sick.

People, I already know I can buy groceries anywhere but their popcorn is stupid awesome! Nobody else has it!

Target! Don't take your popcorn so lightly! It is a staple of yours! Might I add your lighting is awesome as well. It's the only place I look at myself in the mirror.

Your popcorn to Target is like Mickey Mouse to Disney. Don't get rid of it just because it's Friday night and some stupid kid called in.

When you shut down your food court because an employee called in sick you are selling the stupid kid and not the popcorn you make.

Fix the problem. I don't want to hear your crying!

Mickey = Disney! Disney = Mickey!...
