pitbull, thats b/c one is genuine anger/bitterness and the other is pretentious & self-righteous. the former more root-level and understandable than the latter from someone pouring coffee but thinking they really should be a rock-star somewhere instead of wasting their time on you. my 2c.
“i kinda like slightly ghetto female cashier ‘tude.”
*rob*, you’re right on.
Its kinda hot
People don’t steal carts in the suburbs. You could probably fit the whole cart in that Caddy trunk.
The Atlantic Center Target is much better than the Pathmark across the street – which is truly a hell hole.
I will NEVER go to this target, again. Once is enough to know that it’s crappy.
I guess I’m fortunate that I have a car and go to the one on the ‘Island’ when I go visit family.
Wide aisles, stocked shelves; except they never seem to have Toms of Maine Mouthwash 🙁 and I can take the cart to the car and load my purchases in the trunk.
City dwellers push their carts toward the exit and get stopped short of the doors, they have to haul their plastic bags to waiting cabs or down subway steps fearing that things will fall out.
I love target in the Suburbs!
Agree that it is bad. But my favorite experience in a store was at Barneys — about 25 years ago. I went in to buy a men’s sweater. There was a very self-important young man (sales clerk) who was trying to impress a distinguished older gentleman (customer). The gent asked for a cardigan. The young man said they had nothing like that! the older gent pointed to one, at which time the young man said, with great aplomb, “OH, you mean button-up-the-front sweaters!” There are so many levels of ignorance….
And their nails are typically done up nicer!!!!
i know it’s wrong or might sound strange, but i kinda like slightly ghetto female cashier ‘tude. it’s totally different than obnoxious skinny black-framed glasses whiteboy coffee server obnoxiousness.
*rob*
This Target is a disgrace. It is always a mess, the shelves are unstocked, and the lines are usually really long, with employees full of attitude. I have lived in other major cities and their “urban” Targets are not this bad. That is no excuse. It feels like there is a “Brooklyn effect” that makes everything and everyone have lower standards, and a bad attitude to boot.
