The manager made all the girls their own name tags.

This is silly, but she looks really happy so it's fine.

The mighty capitalist experiment is almost complete - next step schools in retail locations, then lower wages and indentured servitude :)

I'm just laughing imagining the store at peak hours and desperately looking for your manager and he's with tiny fake target employees

My 5 year old daughter makes odd requests like this. She’s amazingly smart and sweet so I usually make them happen.

This will be her last happy memory of Target. Ever after she'll hear "That'll be $467.24 please."

I am going to be straight up, local Targets have generally been the best to the folk in their respective community. IDK how the corp is

Shipping at Target is great for preventing the bends. I shop there all the time, and I've never gotten the bends, so it must be true.

That's cause they sell tiger repellent. See how great it works?

We did something similar at the Apple store. Kids are weird, but man they sure love to have fun and don’t care what people think.

I dunno. If a kid decided they wanted to have their birthday party at my workplace I'd probably end up murdering at least one of them.

You couldn't buy good PR like that if you tried. Good on the manager for seeing how far he could flex things w/o causing trouble.

Eh, for things like this you usually push it up the chain a couple levels. If it was just on a whim, then you've got trouble.

Manager probably gunna get fired for letting a kid use the register. At least that seems to be the corporate trend these days.

Kids find joy in the strangest ways and places. Probably good memories with family or friends there. I know I choose target for the same.

It's a common trope that Walmarts are frequented by... less than savory characters. Try checking out the subreddit r/peopleofwalmart.
