    I have not been at Target for as long as many of you, but I think the Hatchimals, Fingerlings, Jones Nuka Cola, Sonos (if one more person jacks up Major Lazer's Lean On on more time....), Hot Wheels, Funkos, Christmas in general and Harry Twotter socks. And depending on how many calls we get...

    Curious, what product has caused you the most nightmares in the past, or present? Every store has a handful of things that are just a pain in the butt, annoying AF, or cause customers to freak the F out. I’d love to hear what the worst products have been in your store.

    Archived Anybody heard of Creature Crates?

    Except SpinMaster doesn't appear to be the Golden Goose any longer. We have SO. MANY. HATCHIMALS just sitting. Accidentally rammed the freaking Hatchimal shipper with the crown. Brought the whole f'ing thing down. Hated them last year, and this year even more.

    Archived Anybody heard of Creature Crates?

    Hello everybody, it’s been awhile! Took a year to study abroad, but now I am back in the states and working at Target again to get me through school. At the start of my shift on Sunday, I had no idea what a Creature Crate was. Then at open, I had two guests asking for the toy. Searched for...

    That is not ripping people off, that is a smart business decision.

    Archived LOL Surprise Balls the new Hatchimal?

    Holy cow, I seriously think I had more people ask me for these LOL Balls in one shopping day than I had ask for Hatchimals. We've received two shipments one before and one after Xmas. Both were gone within minutes. Oddly enough, we must have a dozen casepaks of Hatchimals in stock because the...

    I once walked into a restroom and there was a senior citizen guest sobbing inside a locked stall. After wrapping up my business, I tapped on his stall door and asked if he was okay. He told me he could not clean himself because the stall was out of toilet paper. I fetched him a roll of TP and...

    LOL, no. I have not seen him back in the store. This guy had receipts from all across our metro area, they did not all come from my store.

    Archived Hatchimals being returned...

    We had a guest return 12 Hatchimals. Was asked if anything was wrong with the items and he said they were fine. He was candid about his return saying that ebay is limiting how many you can sell in a week (three) and there is no way he can sell that many before Christmas because the resale...

    We got 4 cases via UPS too. Went straight to the floor. There were several very happy guests randomly finding them on the shelf at 5PM as opposed to having to wait in line before the store opens.

    Sorry to have left you in suspense, but here is how this played out. We ended up having 44 Hatchimals for Sunday morning as two more cases came in on Saturday night. I did not work Saturday evening, but it sounds like the first guests began lining up around 7pm. And, we were in the middle of...

    We got 40 earlier this week, and the store down the street from us has 2. I do not understand that at all. We've held all of ours for Sunday.

    Archived A final warning to guests (Another Hatchimal story)

    I recall a couple of guests coming in for Hot Wheels last year - a couple of times a week I would see them. However, I have not seen anybody in a long time looking for new Hot Wheels inventory. Did that Treasure Hunt craze die down or did they mass produce the Treasure Hunts to where they...

    So this happened. We have more Hatchimals (40) now than I have ever seen. We are going to have these on an end cap. Limit 2 per guest, no tickets. It is going to be a free for all when the doors open. Good Lord, this sh!tshow is going to get somebody hurt. Related, my buddy works at a...

    In contract to what our Spin Master rep said last week, our store is apparently getting 40 Hatchimals in the next week. We have 4 casepaks of each color coming in the next week. Anybody else seeing this at their store? Seems odd that we have had so few, but now are all of a sudden being...

    I would agree with that, but we had to get stock on the shelves. Toys, and other areas of the store were decimated from the weekend.
