Target's Problems are Resolved

A lot of folks take exception to your return policy; I for one could care less because I rarely return anything. Of course I don't buy a lot either.
Layaway would be a nice addition to your store.
On a lighter note: I heard of an employee that can process a return in less than 30 seconds and in some retellings of the story the actual time has been reported as 10 seconds. I am not sure if this is Urban Legend or not, but if it is true, you should definitely seek out this employee and give him a promotion!
I was reading my favorite website, nascar.com, this morning and I noticed that your NASCAR driver is only 23rd in the point's standings. I have never been a big Reed Sorenson fan and you should consider a driver change.
Target seems to have an excessively large toy section and with all the controversy surrounding toys from China, you might consider eliminating a toy row or two and restocking them with NASCAR gear. I suggest: floor mats, t-shirts, thermal coolers and window decals.
Even though I am a bit apprehensive, I am going to give Target a chance this Christmas season. I am making this choice mostly to avoid the mass hysteria I often experience at Walmart and because your store offers the finest parking lots.
In conclusion, please stock more marshmallow peeps for the Christmas, I love those things and they are getting harder and harder to find.
Thanks for listening.

Cletus, you and I agree. I ALWAYS make the choice of which store gets my shopping transactions based on their parking lots. What a goofus!
I can't believe I responded to this tripe--but I'm bored this afternoon.

or collect stamps, or volunteer at your Church, or watch tv, because you seem really really bored.
I'm bored and sleepy, so I'm going to take a nap instead of cluttering up these boards.
Cheers!

I think you wrote this silly letter just to amuse yourself. You knew the responses would start and you are playing a game.

Somehow I already knew your favorite website was nascar.com :)
I hope your Target Christmas experience is good. And I hope they have Peeps.

I think Target should sponsor open wheel racing and ditch Nascar. They are a bunch of cry babies. Boo hoo, its raining, we have to stop the race!! Open wheel racers, race in the rain, w/o a roof! Boohoo, we need to drive in circles, except once or twice a season, open wheel guys race street courses all the time. Nascar is a sad excuse of a racing sport!

Here I am to respond! After all, you knew that by putting something that I said in your letter to my employer that I just *couldn't* resist responding.
This is yet another mumble-jumble of random things you put in a "letter" to send without really containing anything. Let's break it on down, shall we?
"A lot of folks take exception to your return policy; I for one could care less because I rarely return anything. Of course I don't buy a lot either."
So what's the point of including this? What will Target do with this information?
"Layaway would be a nice addition to your store."
Ok, a suggestion. This could work as a suggestion letter had you actually written a letter where one topic was addressed, but that flew out the window as soon as...
"On a lighter note: I heard of an employee that can process a return in less than 30 seconds and in some retellings of the story the actual time has been reported as 10 seconds. I am not sure if this is Urban Legend or not, but if it is true, you should definitely seek out this employee and give him a promotion!"
What a coincidence! I write that I can do a simple return in 10 seconds and it mysteriously shows up in your next letter! And you say that I'm drawn to you? You're the one who obviously wants me to respond, and I caught onto that fact when down on the first comment to your letter, you added multiple comments that would bump this into the Top 25 where I could see it, right? That way you could feel validated when I responded. Sound about right?
And come and visit me at work with a simple return. Bring a stop watch. I can bust this so-called urban legend all by myself.
"I was reading my favorite website, nascar.com, this morning and I noticed that your NASCAR driver is only 23rd in the point's standings. I have never been a big Reed Sorenson fan and you should consider a driver change."
Oh boy! Another new topic! And what does it have to do with any of the previous "points" in this letter? Absolutely nothing!
"Target seems to have an excessively large toy section and with all the controversy surrounding toys from China, you might consider eliminating a toy row or two and restocking them with NASCAR gear. I suggest: floor mats, t-shirts, thermal coolers and window decals."
Guest: Where is your NASCAR stuff?
Helpful, friendly employee ;) : Right in the middle of toys!
P.S. Target would stock more Nascar stuff if there was enough people buying it. Not the case in the stores I've seen.
"Even though I am a bit apprehensive, I am going to give Target a chance this Christmas season. I am making this choice mostly to avoid the mass hysteria I often experience at Walmart and because your store offers the finest parking lots."
Avoiding mass hysteria in Target? HA! You've obviously haven't been in a Target in a while.
"In conclusion, please stock more marshmallow peeps for the Christmas, I love those things and they are getting harder and harder to find."
The phrase "in conclusion" usually wraps up a body of writing that has a similar theme. No new topics are to be addressed in a conclusion, it should be merely a summary of what was written. Plus, it isn't even Christmas season yet and they don't have all of the Christmas merchandise out, so how can you tell them to stock MORE Peeps when the first set isn't out yet? You can't base it on past encounters because after all, this will be your first time shopping at Target during the Christmas season as you said, right?
Now, if you'd like to insult me further, you can take it up with me in my blog. See you there!

The parking issue (Walmart vs Target) is sooooo true. But the prices for toys at Walmart during the X-mas holiday,cannot be beat! I am one of the "crazies" that shoppes the "Black Friday" 4am sales. Only in America!!! Never saw any fighting though, and everyone was always very nice, no pushing shoving etc. I remember one Black Friday sale, several years ago, I was shopping for various toys and happened to wheel right by one that was on my list. We were all in a line wheeling down all the aisle, I mentioned to the lady behind me that I forgot a certain toy. She told the person in back of her and suddenly, the toy (Jumpin' Tigger) was being passed forward toward me from person to person. It was beautiful.

I would LOVE to be in your brain and witness your thought processes myself.
If your letters are any indication of how your brain functions then it should be quite a show!
PLEASE stop sending nonsense letters to Target before they stop accepting this form of customer communication altogether.
If you didnt limit your shopping to the stores only posted on your favorite NASCAR car then you might be able to find those Peeps you need. They are EVERWHERE for EVERY holiday now. They arent hard to find at all.
