I don't think spot can fire you unless he's causing chaos like people keeping bothering him over and over again and he isn't getting his work done then they can fire him.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

I can tell you right now this kid is probably the most hated person at his store at the moment...

Guest Survey comments at this target must be hilarious as well.

And even then, if people keep bothering him, just move him offstage to the backroom for a while or something.

Would be funny if this was a well-orchastrated marketing scheme. I'm sure it's not but it would be a clever way to spin up some publicity.

Wanna know how I know it wasn't Target?

Because it actually… works. unlike the myDevices

FRISCO — A few days ago, someone tweeted a checkout line picture of a sandy blond sacker at Target named Alex.

It went beyond viral.

"It's weird, but you have to take it in stride," said Rhett Biehahn, Alex's friend.

Actually, you might say Rhett is one of many friends now, because the kid now known the world over as "Alex from Target" has become a social media star.

On Twitter alone, by Monday night, Alex had picked up almost half a million new followers, all because of that photo.

Most of the new admirers appear to be teenage girls.

"I'm going to admit, he has some attractions," gushed teen Kiona Weeks. We found her at a Frisco Target store, and Kiona admitted to seeking out "Alex from Target" while her mom was shopping for groceries.

He wasn't there.

While the world has been buzzing about him, Alex has been wondering on the Web whether he's really famous now.

From the other thread.
Alex's Etl should be assigned Alex to the back room for the rest of 4th qtr.

Why does the media care about what the most irrelevant age group in the world (teenage girls) think?

Last November, criminals stole Target guests' credit card information...

This November, Alex from Target is stealing guests' hearts.

 

[RedMan]

Today, I caught two young guys taking photos of each other, dressed in Red and Khaki, standing behind a cash register. I walked up behind them, said, "Hey, that's enough. You're no Alex." To which the one kid replied, "Yes, actually my name is Alex, but I'm not THE Alex."

Right, still, go away. Now.

It's a marketing campaign

 

[Backroom81]

Not entirely. The guy who's claiming responsibility for it was interviewed by Buzzfeed here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/did-a-company-start-alexfromtarget

The original Tweet was kinda genuine by some chick in Britain, some random company is claiming they helped make it viral by reposting it in a few areas. Neither the kid or the original poster have ever heard of these guys.

 

[qmosqueen]

he must be some relative of some bigshot CEO of Target.

I don't know if y'all have heard of this yet. Long story short, a girl took a picture of her cashier at target and it went viral overnight. This happened less than a week ago and has gotten way out of hand.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox...l_and_viral_twitter_meme_appear_on_ellen.html

Anyways, this wouldn't be a big deal at all EXCEPT for the all of the damn prank calls my store has been getting. Every hour or so I get an, "Is Alex there?" or, "Are you Alex?"
Is anyone else getting this?
