What in your opinion is the worst thing Target has ever sold?

[commiecorvus]

This isn't so much about having a sense of humor about gender identity.
I just put my pronouns in my email and in my Zoom ID.
Its just what you do even when you look so cisheteronormative that you get clocked from a mile away.
This is what comes from people wanting to make money.
If we lived in fictional worlds they would look like this.

Not sure if it's mentioned but eight or so years ago, they sold this hangman toy.

The hangman figure was black.

I saw that in RTW the other day and had the same thought.

I can't wait to have to deal with ripped open boxes and returns.

Someone's going to have to come up with a plan for returns. Aren't these mattresses vacuum packed so they take up less space until they're opened? I mean, how would a guest even go about returning an opened one to a store?

Casper? I read they were doing some sort of refresh.

Yes. There's a other couple other brands too.

Maybe it's a similar policy with air mattresses, no return if seal is open or something like that??

For the ones you buy online, they usually don't even have you send it back, because it will cost them more to have it shipped back to them than it is for you to spend the money to trash it.

I hope they do something similar with the ones they sell through us (return through Casper, not Target).

Dog water. Literally a container of water.

I’ve accidentally gotten free stuff from online purchases before by reporting an issue in the target app if it was damaged or something, and they told me to just keep it and they’ll send another one.

Check the price. At the store I worked gallon size store brand distilled water cost more than baby water.

 

[IWishIKnew]

It should. Distilling water requires effort. Putting tap water in a gallon jug and calling it baby water is much easier.

Prepackaged water for dogs. And look at that price! Ridiculous

Agreed. If the belts are the same ones from back in the day there was a recall on them and we just ended up tossing them in the trash. Also they required several watch sized batteries that never lasted very long, so guests told us.

 

[oath2order]

This is the type of thing I was thinking of (they have pins, too, at least. Probably other stuff, too, but I've only seen the pins & mug):

The design of the letters really bothers me.
