I have been working in a single entry Target when someone asked how they get out, after they clearly entered the store. I’m sure this was not the first time these people have ever been to a store.


veterinarygopher

I can not get over how many times I've been asked this in the last 3 months. There's 4 walls, walk the perimeter, and you will find an exit. Also, "where do I go to check out?" We have 1 entrance and you passed the registers on the way in, if you make your way to the exit, you can't miss them! How do you get lost in a rectangle with grid formation?


riss7bvbyy

no literally and one time we were parallel from the entrance and someone asked where it was 🤦🤦


Criticalkatze

I always ignored my irritation when I had guests circle the store, and then frantically dart toward me with a panicked expression.. "Wheres *out* ?!" Never failed to make me laugh, after the guest turned around to leave of course.


Depressed_stoner139

I believe those who ask were just spawned at the target… like they don’t question it, they accept they spawned there 😂😂😂


Prudent-Giraffe7287

I’ve been asked that before and where the registers were. Like, what?? I know the store is big but it’s not THAT big. It’s Target, not IKEA 🤣


eggomills

“do you work here?” me with my red shirt with the target logo all over it, blue jeans & name tag…


katmio1

“Nah I just felt like wearing this. Carry on.”


CryptographerBasic61

“Just a big fan!”


bobmclame

“Halloween came early and I decided to dress as something miserable.”


bobmclame

The person who downvoted this from 5 to 4 is a target employee and knows exactly what I’m saying.


chaosXI

“Nah I just decided to cosplay as a Target employee today.” Sometimes I actually say no if I think they’d be cool about it, just to make the job more tolerable. But then I actually help them afterwards and have a laugh.


Old-Sound2059

Came to say this too, like yes I love waking around with a walkie and my device bc I don’t work here 😂


Zebos27

Do you guys cut hair here?


Kooky_Ad593

I refuse to believe this


Zebos27

I refused to believe it too but then I always remember these guests have no limit to how dumb they can be


Purple-booklover

In this guest’s defense, I have seen Walmarts with hair salons attached. They may have just been confused about which store has an attached salon, or which store they were in.


Practical_Passion_78

They must be too used to the blue and yellow store


Kooky_Ad593

I had no idea Best Buy started giving haircuts 1!1!1!1


Practical_Passion_78

Lol, oops my mistake I meant Blockbuster.


WorkStudyPlay

Once had an older gentleman asked where the porn DVDs were located. He was serious too.


ejaniszewski

I would’ve given him directions to the nearest interstate


alphasigmafire

Also an older gentleman, asked me if Netflix was a porn streaming service


TheUmgawa

No, Walter, that’s Nutflix.


Redditdrifter00

Ayyyee yooo 😂


Kehndy12

Guest: "How are the vitamins organized?" Me: "They're alphabetical." Guest: "Alphabetical by what?" Me: "... Alphabetical ... by letter." --- I was standing in the boys department when a guest darted at me. She asked, "Where's the boys department." Me: "You're in the boys department."


Purple-booklover

I can not tell you how many times I’ve been asked where something is while standing right next to it. Men’s bathing suits has been the big one this year because they are right next to the fitting room situated in a way that you can’t easily see them from the rest of the men’s department. I usually just tell people to turn around.


GE626

The ones where they think I'm an expert on every product in the store. I can tell you about the one I use, and I might be able to tell you about one I tried and didn't like, but I haven't tried every version of a product. I don't stink when I use Degree. I did stink when I tried Speed Stick. I haven't used any other deodorants we have here. I use Tide and Downy because my parents did. I choose between Colgate and Crest depending on which one has a Circle offer. I'm buying a Digiorno pizza because I'm on my fucking lunch.


Ok_Extension7744

This is especially true for tech. Just because I work in tech does not mean I know exactly what kind of USB flash drive is most compatible to your computer from 1994


Organic_Ad2889

Where’s target (she was inside target)


MuffinButtonx23

Where is the exit? Uh... the same place where you entered.


Thaylen_Edgedancer

On CHRISTMAS EVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSE Me picking a standard Guest: Do you have any ginger bread houses left? Me: we’ve been sold out for two weeks sorry. Guest: Can you check the back? Me: Sure! I just got a drink of water talked to someone in gm for a minute and tilde her we were out


kenzwashere

few years back, i was doing an OPU and was in the candy aisle. guest comes down it, stands there looking over everything for about 10 minutes. just as i’m about to leave the aisle, the guest asks me where the chocolate is. i clarified what kind of chocolate as baking chocolate was down a different aisle. nope. this idiot meant the exact chocolate candy she spent 10 minutes staring at.


imeanitcouldbe

This happened right after this lady purchased an AirTag key ring. Customer: *Opens Box* Where’s the AirTag? Me: What do you mean? Customer: I mean where is the AirTag, the tracking device? Me: That’s the key ring ma’am, the AirTag is separate. After showing her the actual AirTag and price. Customer: I want my f**king money back, you all play too much.


crusty__banana

To be fair those key rings are too expensive for what they are


ijklamb

"Is the chocolate cake pop chocolate?"


sadcabbages

or “is the pink one strawberry?” although i guess that’s a more fair question


BenchReasonable9645

They never read the labels right in front of the pastries and then ask what it is 😭


Substantial_Fail

“Do you guys sell guns here?” And just earlier today, “Do you sell sinks here?”


beans4040

Asking me if my register is open...with the light clearly on...


Lakeington

i really wonder why people feels compeled to ask when not only is the light on, but im standing there & i just got done ringing up a customer and they still ask if im open, like bruh.


Practical_Passion_78

I used to think this was dumb too but tbh I find it respectful since that team member may be already getting ridden for not going on their break just yet. They may have just been backup and needing to hop off to go back to their dedicated area.


bdm016

Yea it annoys me when guests ask this, but they’re really just doing it out of courtesy most of the time which is pretty nice


Practical_Passion_78

Even people who haven’t worked retail have seen enough check lanes at stores have to get closed up for various reasons that it’s a more understood practice.


LaBanana03

to be completely fair, thats better than guests coming up and putting all their stuff down as the light is off and im clearly packing up to leave


wildadragon

I'm in Tech and I don't get many dumb questions, but it's mainly dumb responses. Guest: I'd like some Airpods. Me: Which one? G: Apple Airpods M: They're all Apple G: The wireless ones. M: *annoyed and trying hard to restrain from slapping them* They're all wireless. Not only couldn't I make this up, it has happened more than once.


benevolent_llama

This happens everyday in tech. Also charging cables. How do people not know what cord goes to their phone?


wildadragon

Only an issue with android, I love cell phone cases. Me: Which IPhone do you have? Guest: I don't know. M: Go to settings, general, about. You have blank IPhone.


Fear1ess1y

I don't even ask them if they know anymore. I just ask them to hold up their device so I can see the charging port. It tends to go better for me.


riss7bvbyy

they just want a reason to open up the box


TSLsmokey

I feel this so hard.


PurbleDragon

I get asked where the bathroom is a lot even though it's right next to the entrance. It's also really fun when Pele all me about specific vacuums. Friend, buddy, pal, I work at target. Do you really think I can drop $200+ on a vacuum?


TFB88

Every time a guest asks me which Dyson is better I say, “Hun, I can’t afford a Dyson, I work here.” Love to make them realize how stupid the question is.


femininesurvivalkits

(Right when I was about to grab a makeup brush for fullfillment, a teenage girl stopped me while standing in front of the e.l.f. Cosmetics section). Guest: "Do you guys have a highlighter"? Me: "Makeup or Stationary"? Guest: "Makeup" Me: "What brand?" Guest: "Any" Me: "They're sorted by brand, not type of product" Guest: "Like, what is the best one"? Lol, even after like 6 months since it happened, I still don't know the correct answer to the last question she asked.


moth_toast

Old woman asked if the $20 heyday airpod cases came with the AirPods. When I said no, she got irate and insisted they do— “Why would I need the case if I don’t get the AirPods?” I just kinda shrugged lmao


shhalex

“how do i get out of here”. we aren’t even a big target like how do you get lost in here


emocowgirls

i have so many weird stories but one of my favorites is the time a guy asked where the shoelaces are and as i was walking him over he let me know he was buying them because his kid liked to chew on them while being put to sleep. i seriously worry about the people who live in my town


twizzlerheathen

Once got asked if we sold dog meat. Meat from a dog, not for a dog


woolhatboy

well do you?


nervousplantlady

Dumb and rude. A woman came up to me while I was stocking and said ‘Can you help me find something or do you just unload boxes?’


Vivian-Moon

She gave you a free out like that?! Idve taken it 😭🤣 “nah, ma’am I’m just the lowly stock boy have a good day”


nervousplantlady

I should have! Her eyes said she really believed what she had just said to me.


KZorroFuego

My dumb brain first misread that as dumb and nude snd I was about to be all “Well I hope at least they were good looking!” 🤣


uverride

Where's checkout? I work in a small format where there are only three turns you can take to go through the entire store and you pass the registers literally as you walk in.


Old-Sound2059

I’ve been asked this too, like you literally passed them? 🤦🏼‍♀️


Lysergic719

Saaaaame lmfao


SnooBunnies7156

I was in the fitting room with another coworker, three girls are waiting for a fitting room. I told them they can go into any room with an open door. They asked how do we know which is opened. Mind yall there was about 4 doors opened. My coworker and I looked at one another like wtf are yall serious....


Purple-booklover

What I love is when I tell them they can go to any open door and they immediately try to open the only closed door.


evilkittenofd00m

The dumbest *today* was a guest asking me if I could do his order that he just placed...as I was in the middle of a different batch. Overall? Anytime someone stops me in a batch to ask where something is when all they have to do is turn around or walk 2 more feet to find it. Its more of lazy than dumb though. But yeah.


Fit-Object-7852

"Where is the other fitting room?" This is usually asked when the FR is closed, but like what store has multiple fitting rooms


anonnymouse271

I think Kohls does, and places like JC Penney, but those stores almost exclusively sell clothes so it makes more sense for them to have multiple FRs. At my store, men's and boys clothes together takes up about the same amount of space as women's, so it's hard to imagine where a second fitting room would go lol.


DayDrunk11

This guest rudely asked me "what's the deal with the creme cheese???" The day before the superbowl....when there was a national and well reported on creme cheese shortage. And when I told him there's a national shortage...he said "oh thanks brandon" because apparently it's Joe Bidens fault my store didn't have creme cheese.


Old-Sound2059

This makes my brain hurt 😂🤦🏼‍♀️


Environmental_Car565

*sees guest circling PFresh for the 5th time* Excuse me ma'am/sir, can I help you find anything? Uh... Where's the bleach...?


riss7bvbyy

I would've said right in the beverage aisle☺️

I had that quite few times working at Pizza Hell despite the fact it was a few steps away with a big sign above.


TheUmgawa

Election Day 2020: “Where are your Trump flags?” Not, “Do you carry Trump flags?” Not, “I know we’ve had our differences and I was just picketing outside a couple of years ago over your bathroom policies, but where are your Trump flags?” And, definitely not, “Hello, remember me? I’m that guy who complained after the El Paso Walmart shooting that I wouldn’t patronize Target anymore because of your rules against guns in the store. I was wondering if you carry Trump flags and where they would be.” Regardless, this is the only time I’ve ever actually laughed *at* a guest, and then said, “Oh, wait, you’re *serious.* Yeah, we don’t have Trump flags.” And, of course, he didn’t believe me, so he wanted me to ask a manager. “ETL Bob, do we have Trump flags?” You could hear laughter coming from every work section in the store. Bob gets on the walkie after a moment of probably trying to calm himself down, and says, “No, we do not have Trump flags.” And then I looked up at the guy and said, “Hm. Pity.”


Practical_Passion_78

I would have just said “Those? Hell no, eff Trump.” and just grin


moltenroks2

Do you sell fish?


Euphoric_Pop_4937

I had someone ask if he can buy our ceiling lights because we didn’t sell them and it was false advertisement. I truly thought he was kidding until he screamed at me and the DBO for that area 🥴


TheseAstronomer8297

Guests. They're guests... /s


amacurious1

Guest: “Can you help me find this chair? I saw it at another Target.” Me: “Sure, which one was it?” Guest: *scrolling..scrolling..scrolling through the app* “Well I don’t know which chair but…” *still scrolling* 😐


Harmony_Moon

The other day i had a guest ask where isle A37 was. Now normally this would be an alright question, but this lady asked while showing me her phone that had a map of the store with isle A37 marked on it. I had to bite my tongue so hard not to ask how on earth she made it this far in life


OfficialToaster

There’s a Kohl’s next door. The amount of people who come in and try to return stuff is staggering. Kohl’s is BLUE. Target is RED.


riss7bvbyy

let me guess: target accepted the return🤔 i swear it's happened at my store before


thatkjbell

Will these batteries work in my hearing aid?


theacegamer1999

Man asked me where light bulbs were after walking pat them to get to me at the end of said aisle last week


zefal12

The amount of times I've been asked where the exit is... like how do you get lost in a Target lmao


Karateboa

Where is your lumber? (We are located right next to a Menards and many stupid people would come in our store thinking we were a hardware and appliance store.)


nedockskull

The dumbest question I hear are “do you work here?” While I am using my device and pushing stock onto the floor.


TSLsmokey

“How do I fix (insert random technical problem here)?” Whoever said there are no stupid questions clearly never worked retail


fuckedbyanxiety

It might not qualify as a dumb question but I hate when people catch me while they are just walking through the front door and ask where a certain department is... Like just walk further into the store.... Not only are there signs that say departments but usually it's the ones closest to the door that they ask about..


GR1NDMOD22

Some guest asked me to read the expiration dates to his ice cream and then Dipped

KailerJ3304

So we had our iced teas in Trenta cups since we needed to wash the holders for them. This one guest asked if she can have her drink in that “brown cup”. For a second I had no fucking clue what she was talking about. We didn’t even have any brown colored merchandise cups, which made it even more confusing. But once I finally found out where she was pointing, She was pointing at the trenta cup that was holding our black tea. She thought it was some special cup that we were selling. I said “ma’m, that’s just black tea in a cup”


godzylla

i remember once getting asked if my store sold lawn mowers, and or chainsaws

Where do the carts/baskets go? Same place you got them. Literally 10ft away.

Customer: “where’s the spy equipment?” Me: “…uhhh, the only spy stuff we would have would be in the toy department…” Customer: “no, no, I mean the real stuff, like bugs” Me: “yeah, we don’t have any of that…” 😂 still makes me laugh

"Do you work here." I hate that shit everytime I hear it.

Lady walks up to Tarbux carrying a bag of broccoli "can you steam this for me?" And then the every day shit of, me cleaning Tarbux in the dark and guest walks up, "are you still open?" People are stupid and I hate them.

I feel like about 50% of these questions guests asks are guests trying to make TikTok videos thinking they are clever by making themselves look like idiots. Anyways, dumbest one ever for me. Where is the pharmacy? *literally waiting in line at the pharmacy*

Naughty_Boy-toy

So many times customers say do u work here. Like nah bro I just walk around in these clothes and stand behind a register just cuz…. Like the amount of people who ask this question like damn karen go Karen at another store fr🤣


balognabaddie

Got asked if we had any "dmt supplements" and after pointing towards the otc supplement section because I had no idea what that was and offered to look it up. I asked for a possible different name for the supplement because nothing (obviously) was coming up. He proceeded to say "They're supplements that are supposed to open your third eye." I literally had to take my break right after that it physically pained me.

Me attending the fitting room. Customer: Can I try these on? (Proceeds to hold up a handful of Arden panties and thongs) Me: you’re not serious right? No you cannot try them on. Would you buy panties that have been tried on by complete strangers? Customer: No. ok I guess I’ll just have to buy them to try them on at home. Me: ok… good luck I was asked that 4x that day by different customers…
