The Target subreddit might seem like a hub for sale tips and product reviews, but it’s turned into a place where Target employees come to vent about the daily grind. It’s packed with memes and stories, from battling “Karens” to dealing with the messy shelves thanks to lazy customers.
The subreddit offers a peek behind the red and khaki curtain, revealing the camaraderie and humor that keeps employees sane. It’s sort of become a support group where laughter reigns supreme, turning retail woes into relatable, hilarious tales.
