Today, Target asked me if I would do the closing announcement. I've only been working there a little while, so excited I agreed. I told people, "The store is now closing, thank you for shopping at Walmart." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML
Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the pharmacy I've been getting my prescriptions from for over two decades is closing down. Just the one store. In less than a week. The signs proudly proclaim "Store Closing! This Store Only!" FML
Today, I heard back from my store management interview at Target. I was offered an overnight stock clerk position. When I called HR to find out if my application was in the wrong file I was told I lack the leadership qualities necessary for Target. I graduated with honors from a military school. FML
Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, I reached the point in my life where Target is the "expensive" store. FML
Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML
Today, I was at Walmart and I asked an employee for help. She turned around with tears streaming down her face and said, “I'm kind of in the middle of an emergency right now!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's like dressing for the job you want, not the one you have- clearly you spoke for the job you want!

Next, "Just kidding, you're in Target. But seriously, we're closed." I guess Wal-Mart just rolls off the tongue better than Target. Who knew? You'll get it right next time. Hopefully, there is a next time.

WALMART NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET IS JUST A REGULAR FOOD STORE WITH THE WALMART LOGO! IT DOES NOT SELL ANYTHING BUT FOOD!

I live in a really small town and our Walmart closes at 10pm every night. It isn't a neighborhood market. It is a super center. We just don't have the traffic at night to justify the place staying open. Short story long, some Walmart's do close.

So, when I say it I say it like this. "Attention Target guests, the store is now closed. Please make your final selections and bring them to the register. Have a good night and as a reminder our hours are 8 am though 11 pm tomorrow."

My uncle used to work at a Kmart. He got laid off after a while and went to work at Walmart. His first day, he goes to make an announcement and accidentally starts with "Attention Kmart shoppers..." He paused, then continued, "...you are in the wrong store."

Work the overnight Flow shift, fellow Target team member. It's sad that I know you made the closing announcement wrong (I mean besides the obvious error), that shit gets drilled into your head even if you never have to do it.
