Target's Problems are Resolved

Great post except no one who shops at Target cares about boring
Nascar. Thanks for showing your support for Target I love that
place!!!

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.

I not only amuse myself, I amuse all that read my post. Think of it as
sort of a Public Service.

I just saw Christmas tree peeps in Rite aid this afternoon while
waiting for my RX.

I love peeps!

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.

Good luck silly man.

P.S.

Go to the dollar store for the peeps. Seriously. They have the
greatest selection for them.

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.

I'm sure Target is very appreciative of your input and the BofD will
be meeting shortly to implement the changes you have suggested.

However, I'm convinced that your wacked out posts are the result of
consuming too many peeps.
