You know you’ve been working too long at Target when:

- you refer to customers as “guests”…outside of work.
- you refer to fellow employees as “team members”…also outside of work.
- you abbreviate everything.
- you start having nightmares about not having stocked the shelves enough.
- you refer to the stuff sold at the store as “product” & “merchandise”.
- when you see someone in red and khaki, you assume they work at Target.
- you start referring to all meals, no matter what time, as “lunch”.
- you reach for your walkie-talkie…even at home.

and finally:
- you straighten shelves when you go to other stores.

Which Target do you work at? I just found out over the weekend that my cousin got a job at the brand new one in Warrenville… by Cantera.

I don’t work at that one, Heather, although I’ve seen that one. I’m not going to say here, although it is in the southwest suburbs. :-) Don’t want stalkers lol.

I understand. Though, if anyone did try to stalk you at your store, you could just make them straighten the shelves and pick up the garbage for you… then they’d run for it. ;)
