I think the biggest thing about morons in the parkinglot is prolly more than half want to park "get in and get out" kind of deal!! Kinda like going to the store for a pack of butts.....u have a specific agenda and want to get it done.....thats where I can see people driving like idiots!! That and half the people that go there are on welfare....so what else can they lose

first and foremost: i hate target as much, if not more, than walmart. target associates will have have, literally, run from me. i had to chase one down to ask a question. and i work in retail, ive worked in retail for 5 years. i understand the issues that people working in retail have, but come on. I am the reason youre there when im shopping, show me some damn respect. parking lots... just take a spot already. it wont kill you to take 4 more steps. i may kill you if you keep circling. the FIRE LANE is not a ONLY YOU CAN PARK HERE LANE. FIRE LANE means do not park here. if youre parked there and i need by, i will not go around (unless youre a cop). instead, i will stay behind you and honk. i will honk until those security people walmart employs investigate and tell you to move on. i dont care if you wave me off, i wont go. move your car and find a parking spot like everyone else. um.. what else... i find it interesting walmarts vests say "How may I help you?" on the back of them, on the BACK. means they are walking away from you for you to see it.
oh, handicapped spaces and wheelchairs are for THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED, not for you because youre fat. walk some of that fat off by walking the couple extra feet to the door and walking through the store.

you know, i have about the same stories thats awesome.

(an example, today im driving from norman to edmond on my day off to transfer a necklace and a pair of earrings for a customer. a lot of my customers know me by name and ask specifically for me, regardless of the fact im an hourly employee and do not work on commission). i always go out of my way to help a customer out, after all, im an hourly employee and im therefor the same length of time regardless. i may as well spend my time helping someone out. couple customers insult me and dont believe me, a couple of customers have even accused me of descriminating against them because their [insert adjective here]. my favorite story: (i work in the jewelry department, and if we arent busy, we ring up other people that dont have very many items)

id just got through ringing a customer up that had a greeting card, then i got slammed with jewelry customers. i helped the jewelry customers out (they have priority - this is the jewelry counter) and while i was doing that, a very large woman came up, interrupted me and the customer i was helping, and told me i was going to ring her up. i explained that i was helping out the jewelry customers, but if shed wait, id ring her up when i got a chance, but itd be shorter just to get in line. she insisted i was going to ring her up right then, i said i have to ring up the people in front of her in line. she insisted i had no line, she was the next customer in line and i should help her out right then. at this point, im pissed. i told her that if she wants to be rang up immediately, she can walk back to customer service and they will ring her up then, but i have to assist the jewelry customers first and id be with her as soon as i could, or she can get in line at the registers. she got pissed too and stalked off. about 30 minuted later, my manager came up and said "DId you tell a woman you wouldnt ring her up because she was fat?" i laughed and said no, then explained the situation i though he was talking about.
what the bloody hell. becuase she was fat? the only thing i can think of, her friend that i rang up (with the greeting card) was thin, and she wasnt.

Was in a Target in Florida and every Target employee I passed, at least 10, dropped what ever they were doing and asked my wife and I if we needed any help, or if we were finding everything we were looking for. And we weren't even looking lost or confused, just behaving like any NORMAL (keyword) person would when shopping.
But they kept coming like freaking zombies or something. eventually I had enough and just went to the check out with what we had because I wanted to get the hell out of there.

Correct. I'm fat (5'8" 230lbs) and I park at the end of the lot not only to walk, but to keep my car from getting dented up. I hate when I see fat people like me circle the lot over and over and over and over and over until they find a spot 5 feet closer to the door. People need to just park and walk to the damn door.
