Hey Target!

So, I quit my full time job back in the fall to pursue going back to school full time. I decided to get a part time job at Target over the holiday season to a) get the discount and b) I worked there for 8 yrs previously, so why not go back? As I was working yesterday, I ran into the restroom during the busiest part of the afternoon to wash my hands. There was a line forming as I was at the sink.

There was a woman watching me (I am very aware when people watch me and don't say anything and can feel them burning into me...weird I know.) As I am foaming up and singing my abc's in Spanish to get all the germs out, this woman who previously has been staring at me says "Hey Target!" I look to my right as she is standing on my left and think 'crap! I'm the only one in here in red & khaki and I know she's talking to me'. Again, she says "HEY TARGET!" Louder this time. I look slowly to my left and she says "Look what I have." She turns to the side and shows me a recyclable Walmart Bag which she is proudly wearing on her right shoulder.

I say "wow, that's a nice bag." and begin rinsing my hands and looking for paper towels. She says "yeah, guess where I went to lunch today?" I say "I don't know, where?" She says "the new McDonalds, and I had a HAMBURGER." I say "Wow, sounds like you've had a pretty good day."

And I exit stage left. So from now on, you can address me as HEY TARGET and apparently I will answer.
