Today, I reached the point in my life where Target is the "expensive" store. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Good night!
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
Winner winner chicken dinner
Today, I realized I have finally turned into my mother when I got excited about using so many coupons that I only paid 70 cents for $14 worth of groceries. I need a life. FML
Impulse purchase
Today, I wanted a Stranger Things flashlight, but I saw they were out of stock at Target so I ordered one on Mercari. The Target website later got more in, so I paid double the original price with shipping included. I’m done online shopping for myself. FML
Today, I was at Target deciding what chap-stick to get when an old lady violently hit me with her umbrella and kept yelling at me saying, "You are too young for this! Think twice!" FML
Today, I wore an expensive vintage blazer which I'd purchased at a market in Paris. Turns out my colleague has the exact same one, only hers is from a clearance rack at Target. FML
Lonely
Today, I purposely wore a red shirt to Target just so people would talk to me. FML
Today, I have to go on a diet, because I can't afford to buy bigger clothes. FML
Welcome to middle age
Today, I found out I've been adulting too long when I noticed that the bags at Smart & Final are shorter than the last time I was here. FML
Rip it up and start again
Today, I finally finished my Christmas shopping and felt like an absolute champion. That was until I got home and realized I'd left one of the shopping bags in the parking lot. The bag contained the most expensive gift I'd bought. FML
Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML

I even work at target, yet on that salary plus going to university I still don't have the money do my shopping there :) food max and wal mart are much cheaper!

Not if you use coupons and the 5% redcard discount in addition to the 10% team member discount.

Target has been steadily raising their prices for years now. No surprises here.

This is that kind of FML that only real American (mayble also British) people can understand. I have absolutely no idea how cheap or expensive Target is.

40- it's the most expensive of the "big box" retailers. (kmart walmart target, etc). That being said it's (slightly) cheaper than say; going to a department store or mall.

Don't worry about it. Target still pays employees like it's the cheap store.

Couldn't agree more, I've worked there for two years and barely make more than minimum wage.

Yeah, I work there too and I can't even afford to shop at the store!
addie19 6
Haha--quite true. I've been there 10 years and my last raise was 14 cents.

Why be ashamed? Target is a decent store, certainly better than Wal-Mart or Dollar General or Big Lots and light years ahead of K-Mart (K-Mart sucks) - movin' on up to the East Side!!!!!!!!!
