Working retail, you get to see an amazing number of characters stroll through the front door. There's always something new around the corner, ready to completely derail your day, make you miss your lunch break, and in rare cases, actually make you sort of happy. This Tumblr user documented their first few days of working at a Target, and the world did not disappoint. For more retail stories, check these horror stories from Hot Topic employees.

Going into this, you'd think the worst the can come out of it is that the store finds out that you're trying to take advantage of them. But no, it can get much worse. That said, you'd think it would dawn on this guy *a little* earlier that it might look *a little* strange to be buying this many pressure cookers. To see what a stupid person can do with a pressure cooker in the kitchen, among other things, here's some cooking fails

Utah man Jason Hewlett "cheated" on his wife, but she had no reason to even be upset.
Huh?
Well, he didn't really cheat on his wife. He saw a super sexy lady in line at Target and thought, "Boy, some guy is super lucky."
He then realized that woman was actually his wife! His Facebook post recounting this adorable story has been shared over 75,000 times.

When you go to Target for one item, you'll end up leaving with a shopping cart full. That's just basic science.
But thanks to an actually delightful Halloween campaign from the store, you might just need two shopping carts on your next visit.
In a new campaign for Target's Halloween merchandise, the retailer takes viewers on an immersive, 360-degree video "choose your own adventure."
You just start at the video above, and follow the story from room to room in a haunted house.
In a world that's full of advertising, it's nice for a change of pace.
Just make sure to not block the entry way into the Dollar Spot, or some soccer moms could get violent.

Something kinky is happening at a Target store in California.
Video of an X-rated recording playing over the store's intercom was posted on social media yesterday, showing customers and employees freaking out while trying to figure out what was happening.
"Ohh, yeahhhh," the recording blasted throughout the store while customers rushed to cover children's ears.
Gina Young, the mother of two young twins, was shopping at Target when she captured the video.
"People offered to help me cover my twins' ears," she told FOX 9. "Others threw their stuff down and walked out. Employees were running around everywhere."
The recordings reportedly continued on-and-off for about 15 minutes. And Target has said they are investigating.
Because Target can't always reply to their idiotic customers in the most appropriate fashion, one man took the initiative and created a fake customer service account titled "Ask ForHelp" to deliver the some serious social justice. Target Facebook has been flooded with hate after its stores recently made the move toward gender-neutral in-store labeling.
The fake Facebook account was built for success with the bull's-eye profile pic and a fitting name.... The haters weren't ready.
