JBKing Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I was in Target today, and noticed a lot of items stocked on the higher shelves. There seemed to be more than needed for just typical stocking, such as about 20 Candylands, Chutes & Ladders, Monopoly, Tonka dump trucks, Moon Shoes, Scene It DVD Game, Memorex Progressive scan DVD player, several different models of boom boxes, a VCR (do they still make those? ), a large Tyco R/C car. It looked just like it does on BF to me, so it got me thinking! Could Target be stocking up for BF already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmcca Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I noticed this in one target too but that had tons of Vsmiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm going to stop at Target tomorrow, so I'll take a look and see what they are stocking. I'll have to write down what I see is in large supply. Target always has one of their plain-clothes "shoppers" follow me for a while, since I scope out all the end-caps for clearance stuff. This could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decafmom Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You get stalked at Target? Are they stalking you for shoplifting or just being nosy? I shop the end-caps as well - they're my first stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I wish we had a Target. The closest one to us is about an hour away. They always have such neat stuff. And it's a nice change from WalMart.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steakgoddess Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I hear ya. I walk the end caps first everytime. I never have noticed their plainclothes guys, but there are always Target workerss around me. Always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shop the end-caps as well - they're my first stop.Yeah, they employ 1 plainclothes security person. If I'm dressed for work (shirt&tie) I don't get followed, but if I'm in weekend wear (hoodie / t-shirt and jeans) I always notice them. It turns into a game sometimes, so it probably just makes me even more suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnainKY02 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have the same thing happen, but at Wal-Mart. (The being followed by the "shopper". It is really funny though, because I use to work there and I know who they are. I asked a friend who still works there about it and he said that they do that to anyone who comes in a WHOLE lot, like I do. I guess they don't trust anyone who spends that much money with them. I guess they don't realize that in a small town like mine (no TARGET, K-Mart, nothing) that they are the only place to go to, without traveling 45 minutes to an hour. I think it is funny though, because they obviously don't realize that I know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 That's weird. I'm in Walmart all the time here and have never had anyone follow me. I'm in there so much that they all know me by name. LOL I was even walking around the other night with a notepad writing down the stuff I saw in the overstock areas and not a single employee was anywhere around.

SuperMommy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ok, I just wanna know what you are doing to get "stalked"? That seems kinda creepy to me. I mean it's not like you come in with this BIG, EMPTY, OPEN bag or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 oh how funny! do you dress like a hoodlum? LOL, no! I just look young for my age. I shop the clearance racks for women's and men's clothes, plus all the end-caps, so I'm spending a lot of time in there and looking through a lot of stuff. I can see how it looks suspicious, but it's funny that I know who 2 of their "shoppers" are, since they tail me all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloey Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Is this normal for ALL Targets to have these people? I am one of those that just look and look and look and then might not even buy anything. I am usually in the toy department because of my granddaughter who will be three and I have spoiled rotten! LOL. I think I would get pissed if I saw someone following me and confront them! glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amani Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I was in Wal-Mart about a week ago, and I had two friends and my 4yr old daughter, we paid for our things (almost $200.00) and I was hiding two V-Smile games under a box in my cart for my daughter to take back to lay-away, when I noticed three plain dresses "shoppers" looking over at my cart. They looked real STUPID, when they seen me tell my cousins to take her to the car, and they followed me to lay-away to see that I was going to purchase them.

awellis Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Last year about two weeks before BF, I saw the specials for Target on another BF site. The specials said that there was going to be a sale on some xbox. It was the same price as the xbox, but with 3 games. Well that weekend, my family and I went to Target. We ended up in the electronics department and behold, what did I see? The xbox package that wasn't supposed to be on sale until BF. Now I know sometimes, you have take the rumors with a grain of salt, so I told my husband I wasn't 100% sure that they were selling it early or not. Anyway, when the ads did come out, EVERYONE was selling this package on BF, including target. So its possible that they are stocking up now. In this case, you could have gotten a great deal if you knew and you wouldn't have needed to stand in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
