Smart people keep out (all others welcome)
I was in Apple Valley tonight and decided to stop by Super Target on the way home. Walking to the front door from my car, I was momentarily confused when the guy in front of me grabbed a door at the entrance to find it locked. I checked my watch. It was 9:05. Target closes at 9 on Sundays. "Dammit. They're closed," I muttered. Evidently my curse was louder than I realized, as the guy who'd tried the doors turned around, looked at me with an earnestness and pride befitting a puppy who'd just fetched a ball, and said, "No they're not! I think we're just supposed to go in the other doors." He then made a beeline for the exit doors, shouldered his way through an oncoming flood of departing patrons, nearly knocking down a mother carrying a toddler, and disappeared amidst the flock. No, dumbass, I'm pretty sure they were closed.
Did you really expect more from a Super Target?
I would expect that sort of thing at Wal-Mart (if it wasn't open 24 hours) or maybe TJ Maxx, but not at Super Target.
But I'll bet he got to buy his bacon, smart person or no.
Nothing surprises me anymore. I bet people do that at Neiman Marcus too. There seems to be a contagious sense of entitlement going around lately.
Walmart, Kmart, Pamida, Target, SUPER Target--they're all the same, except Target charges more.
People would do that when I worked at Best Buy and it sucked because I had to wait for them to finish browsing/masturbating over CD's and DVD's because I was the only checker over 18. Assholes...
Elizabeth, he probably needed to get in so badly because he needed some Kaopectate to prevent sharting in his cutoffs.
Jen, it's because we teach kids that they're special and unique. We should be teaching them that they are an expendable burden on society.
Hedy, if Target charges more, they should hire IQ police to man the door at closing time. "Hold on, sir! What color was Washington's white horse?" ... "Huh?" ... "Hit the bricks, pal!"
Alie, I hate being that asshole who comes in 5 minutes before closing and holds the works up. Anything I would be in dire need of can be purchased at a 24 hour supermarket or Wal-Mart if I'm hard up for something like condoms or Fresca.
