Last time I went into Target I was accosted not once but twice regarding signing up for one of their credit cards. As if buying a pack of soda and a box of crackers was something I just couldn’t pay cash for. That’s one of the things I hated about working there back about 2 years ago. Get people signed up for Target Visa cards. Hell I worked in the back room and ideally I’d have minimal customer contact, but I was still told to try to sign people up for that shit. (Hint: I never did.) In a country where debt consolidation is it’s own industry one would think the last thing we need is every establishment on the face of the planet offering their own credit line … sheesh. But more importantly than all that, I don’t know what’s worse – the fact that this cashier tried to get this guy to save 10 percent on his $2 box of donuts by applying for a Target Visa, or the fact that the dude almost looked like he was gonna go for it. There’s a point somewhere in your job where your responsibility as an employee cuts off and your common sense should be taking over. If you can’t find it then get the hell off my planet and stop wasting my oxygen. Please.

Hey, let’s hear it for me being an idiot. I went through all the work of creating graphics for the date stamps that show up at the top of these posts and I ended up missing like 5 or 6 of them, didn’t even realize it until just now. Making a shitload of graphics and then forgetting how you made them isn’t so great.
