#target problems

Was in target the other day looking around in general and wandered over to some jackets and then noticed what was hanging near all the mannequins wasn’t what was actually on them and the actual garments they were wearing were nowhere to be found. I thought this was weird cause how are u supposed to find whats on em then? Are they not selling what’s on the mannequins?

There was an older women who worked in both the men’s and women’s departments, doing general wrangling of stray clothes and lots of folding as one could imagine. I asked her is she knew where these particular jackets were that the mannequins were wearing, only to notice mid sentence that halfway through the store here were the garments right next to her.

I’d say she was in mid 60s to early 70s at absolute oldest and she is frazzled. while I tried to ask delicately noticing this, I could tell THIS WAS *IT*

She begins to rant that nothing makes any sense anywhere, there’s six shades of red infront of her and no one puts anything where it should be! wtf is this a hat? Why are there six zippers on this shirt? this hoodie has the sleeves cut off and man she needs tell me all about it.

This was a lot for a single question that I answered myself, i kinda laughed off my mistake I’m bothering her and apologized for interruptinf her folding as damn I didn’t notice, my bad; but MAN this mistake only confirmed the worst for her.

everything is different

I can relate to her aggravation, I’ve worked retail clothing stores and it’s very annoying if your not in the head space.

This is where I need to point out target was closing soon and the only people wandering around were other millennials and gen z kids and like two older people.

The retail ladies volume is increasing to the point that she’s yelling and we are right next to the Starbucks and it happens..

She yells “AND ALL THESE JEANS-ALL THE DIFFERENT CUTS OF JEANS-SKINNY, BOOT, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DUNGAREES!?!?” Shes lunging foreword like uttering the word was summoning something to powerful for her mortal mouth to handle and then she stormed off. the whole time I was trying things on infront of the mirror and listening while going about my business, trying to be patient and I actually reacted to the dungarees word and just.. the way she said it. And I repeated it like a question cause.. I hadda. dungarees

I then hear two young guys say “dungarees?” back and forth to each other and stare at me. We all repeat this word amongst each other and shrug and go our ways.

Dungarees

this women was so loud that it echoed to every crevice of the store and as I’m walking around your hearing other millennials repeat it in confusion and awe. go to gaming section, someone asks me if they heard dungarees being yelled and wtf? turn in the towels section and some kids are saying it equally baffled. I overhear the word being repeated 15 times by the time I get to the register and I hear people in Starbucks still talking about the word and wtf just happened cause this women went from zero to batshit.

Everyone is looking it up on there phone and trying to find it in the women’s section and no one understands what has happened.

I’ve never see this old women in her target shirt again.
