Archived Flash Mob at Target

[AsAdvertised]

There was a store in my immediate area that busted out a Flash Mob during Raindeer Run. I totally wish I could show you guys the video, lol. There were a few team members that got the memo late, lol. They were griping saying "you are all way too full of energy for 8am"

I happened to be there during the Flash Mob, lol. You can tell they shoved the people who didn't know what they were doing into the back.


Disclaimer: I'm NOT saying this is my store. It could be or it couldn't be. I'm not saying.

Has anyone done a flash mob at Target?

Oh, I WISH!
It would send morale through the ROOF!

If someone could airbrush me to look like Iron Man, I would participate in a heartbeat.

Uploaded today. I doubt it's your store, though.

Still, the one target closest to looking like the one I look at (it isn't my target )

My store also did a flash mob a couple of weeks ago.

I saw one once when I was visiting out of town at another Target. First time I ever saw one! I wonder how they plan this things....

What prototype is that Target in the video? Looks exactly like mine except Food Ave where Guest Service is??

Nope. This was was more elaborate and had all Sales Floor team members doing it.
This is the video. I might as well post it now since it's already on the internet and I'm sure someone will post it.

(another disclaimer: I AM NOT the recording it)

Gtc to sbs! That was cool! I love watching The crowd too.

Not a flash mob per say - but still cool - to me at least

If you look through a few of these - there's some military

The first time I saw this was at the "Ton Son Nhut" air base ( Dodge City ) a hundred years ago.

The "Canuck's" played some "Kiwi's" that where flown in ( still have no idea why ) for a game. They would try to intimidate each other before their football games

Flash mobs are the essence of spontaneity, originality and non-asking-for-permissionness. Corporations and stores are the exact opposite: Branded, planned, globalized bureaucracy. These two don't mix. I like flash mobs, and I like Target, but the two of them combined churns my stomach. It's embarrassing.

Which describes flash mobs (elaborately choreographed, planned, and scheduled in advance) how?

I'm not knocking them--I mean, if it makes you happy, by all means do it--but they are not spontaneous in the slightest. They might look like it from the outside to a child, I suppose? But nobody really believes these things just happen.
