Today, I went into Target's dressing rooms to try some pants on, leaving my full cart outside. An employee thought it had been left there, and took it to put the stuff back. My coat, hat, gloves were in it. I had to walk home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was trying on some clothes in the store's changing room, when someone reached under the door and grabbed my purse, shoes, and pants. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store, but once I'd filled my cart, I realized that I'd forgotten my wallet, and because I'm not the sort of animal who just dumps stuff in random aisles, I had to awkwardly put all my items back on their shelves. FML
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping when I left my cart to grab an item. I returned, and started pushing the cart again. Halfway through the store, a furious lady confronted me, demanding her cart back. I had to walk back in shame to find my own actual cart, which was now nowhere to be found. FML
Today, while trying on an outfit in the dressing room at the mall, I got locked in. I decided to take 5 minutes to try and get out by crawling under the door. After I got out, I realized I left my cell phone, my purse and my pants inside. FML
Today, I walked two miles to the store, filled my cart with groceries, and got to the cashier… only to find I had forgotten my wallet. I tried to explain but got the nastiest stank-eye from the cashier, the manager, and everyone in line behind me. I walked two miles home, hungry and embarrassed. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to buy my weekly groceries and only realized after a long queue at the checkout, then having the cashier scan my entire cart, that I'd forgotten my purse. I had to leave everything behind and walk out empty-handed, while everyone in line behind me gave me dirty looks. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I accidentally left the tag on the new pants that I wore to work. Nobody had brought it to my attention for the whole day until finally, before I was about to go home, every single employee and my boss let me know by yelling in unison and laughing as I left the building. FML
Today, I stopped at a supermarket after work and put my reusable bags on the counter while I paid. When I got home, I realized I'd left the bags at the checkout. I went back, and they were still there. Nobody had touched them. I felt strangely lucky and embarrassed at the same time. FML

If you had complained to the mgr you probably would have gotten new cost hat and mittens. But you're too passive. You loose.

She did. She said so in a comment just a few up from yours, and the FML team actually edited it out of her post

I work at a Target, and I have to say I highly doubt this happened. The team members in softlines (clothing) have more than enough common sense to say "hmm... not a single item in this cart has a tag on it, half of it isnt even Target merchandise (fyi, there is another small tag sewn inside that has a product number specific to Target in it if it is from Target), and it all looks worn... must be someone's". If you work in non clothing areas there, as I do, it is more confusing, but we know how to determine if it is a customers or not based on the contents of the cart. TL;DR - you could have just been unlucky, but I find this extremely unlikely.

I call BS. I used to work @ Target & the employees are not gonna take your cart unless it's there for more than anhour at least. We had enough work getting the unwanted clothes from the changing rooms & returning them to the racks, we weren't going to mess with a cart unless we knew for sure it was one of ours & not a guest's. & if the cart had a jacket in it...they would have brought it to the dressing room, where you already were, & then said "Hey this isn't a Target brand" or "Hey it has keys in it" or whatever. & if there was bunch of other stuff (toys, games, non-clothes stuff) in the cart, they would take it up to the returns counter where it would get sorted & only THEN would all the items get sent out to wherever they belong on the floor...so the jacket would be at Returns. It wouldn't just disappear & if you told a Target team member "Hey my cart's gone, it had my jacket" they would find it. They might be stupid sometimes & heartless sometimes but if you put two minutes effort into it, you'll find someone who will find it. In short: this is BS. OP was shopping at Target & said to a friend "Hey wat if sum1 stole my cart while I was in heeeere?" Then decided to pretend it happened to get comments on FML. FYL for lying

I worked in a Target and when I set a tool bag down to get my ladder from two aisles away, an employee had picked it up when I get there with the ladder. Some Target employees will move things "out of the way" very quickly.

OP commented and explained that the chick who did it was a retarded thief that just happened to work there.

Are we seriously supposed to believe your so dumb you did not ask for your stuff back? Why do people make up FML's? Your life must truly be lonely.
