Coming from a semi-professional ranter, that's high praise. You're welcome ;-) I love Target to bits, but I think you gave them a few good pointers here, especially because that seems to be the case with most Targets I have shopped at (yes, I like to check out Target stores in other areas, so sue me.)

The lines were to the middle of the store. Some woman in front of me purchased about 50 pairs of flip-flops and then decided to open an Old Navy card to pay for them. WHAT????? Then it's my turn. My total is just over $5 and the cashier says, "Would you like to save 10% by opening an Old Navy card?" I laughed right out loud. No. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Nicki at Domestic Centss last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DomesticCents/~3/UTjeK6zNh-Q/" rel="nofollow">A Defining Moment Of Perspective</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hahaha, this happened to me at Old Navy at the $1 flip-flops sale.

On the other hand, I've never learned not to go to Walgreen's early Sunday morning after the new sales paper comes out, because I'm always behind at least 3 elderly women doing all sorts of grouping and sorting and shaking of the sales paper and presenting of the coupons and the assistant manager has to be called and a rain check issued or somebody has to go get the proper size of Geisha brand canned crab to qualify for the deal. And since you can't really get mad at old ladies on a fixed income trying to save a buck, I spend that time plotting against the military industrial complex that keeps our seniors in penury, having to do whatever they can to save a buck on Chase & Sanborn coffee so they can divert money to their "holding companies". <abbr><em><abbr><em>Tracy O'Connors last blog post..<a href="http://ihatemymessageboard.com/2009/05/27/beef-cheek-casserole/" rel="nofollow">Beef Cheek Casserole</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Target is my happy place.
