Annoying guy in Target.

[IndianInlaw]

I went to Target today in search of bargains.  They had the dollar section marked down by 75%.  I found a nice set of pens, but I wasn't sure if they were included in the sale.

Fine...I would just find the electronic price checker and go on my way. 

I found one that actually worked. (This is a brand new store, by the way).  I hadn't scanned it yet, when this Target guy came by and asked if I needed help.   He pointed to my item and said "the price is on it."  I said I was just checking to see if it's on sale.    He said it wasn't, as they just put those out today.

Gee whiz, I could have ascertained that in a split second, had he not decided to have this unpleasant little chat.

LOL - the overachiever that doesn't know he's annoying

Telling you the price is on your item was kind of silly, isn't the whole point of those machines that sometimes items don't get priced properly when there is a sale, so it allows customers a way to double check? 

I think most people using those machines (myself included) know what the price is probably going to be, we just like peace of mind from a machine to reassure us that that's what the price really is!

"May I help you?"
"I was just checking the price on this item."
"Are you familiar with the machine?"
"Yes."
"Let me know if there's anything I can help you with."
Ahhhh life in a perfect world...

Overachiever, my foot.  He was wearing an orange vest.  He was the parking lot cart collector.

The entire purpose of having those machines (in my lowly opinion) is so I don't actually have to talk with anyone.

Particularly, people like him.

Not to detract from the obvious humor in that, but just for the guys credit, maybe certain days he gathers the carts and other days he gets to work the floor?  Maybe its possible?

I don't think he would wear an orange vest to work the floor.

(Spoken by one whose job entails orange vest wearing)
