I’m a Target shopper, that you know if you know me.
I think SNL’s skit about the Target Lady is hilarious and I could watch each of them over and over.
I wonder if it’s art imitating life or the opposite.
At our local Target, we avoid one of the cashiers because let’s say she’s a little strange.
Here was the conversation overheard there:
Elderly shopper: “Thank you for all of your help loading my bags into my cart.”
Cashier: “Well, I kind of have to, it’s my job…”
Customer: “We don’t want to buy this, I think it’s broken, can I leave it with you?”
Cashier: “Well, you kind of have to, if it’s broken, what else would you do with it?”
Cashier: “Have a nice day.”
Customer: “Oh, now I kind of have to because you told me so.”
Okay, the last interaction may not have happened but it should have.
We normally avoid her aisle because you never know what she’s going to say. I’m a little afraid she might bite.
Here’s another story of “the customer’s always right but this time from AutoZone:
(I thought I’d include the link but then thought why should I give them potential business)
Me: “I need to return my windshield wiper that I bought here because it doesn’t work correctly. It’s not hitting the windshield properly.”
Salesman: “Is it a winter blade?”
Me: “I don’t know…”
Salesman: “Does it have a little blue tab on the end?”
Me: “I don’t know…”
Salesman: “What do you know?”
Me: “I know that after I get a new windshield wiper and you replace it for me, I ain’t ever giving you any other business.”
Oh, yeah and I’m gonna blog about this conversation too!
There are "winter blades"? I am not happy to know of their existence. My fantasy of changing my own blades has now been made more complicated by reality.
