My only problem with Target is their beer policy. My girlfriend and I were there shopping last night and I picked up a 12 pack of Sam Adams Winter Lager.So we go to the checkout and the girl ringing me up says I will need to see both of your ID's. My girlfriend didnt have her wallet with her so the girl called management over. I am 30 years old and I have never had this much trouble. The manager let it slide I burned holes in his face with my eyes and said a couple of thoughts on my mind.
Apparently they have to id everyone in the group if you look under 40. WTH!?!?!?!?! Anyway........

Really? They even say "tarjay" in one of their commercials

I just caught the last second of a tv commercial and it said "Merry Christmas" with the Target logo beneath it. I just caught the end as I was changing channels.
And I think that French rumor got started when we were in that "Freedom Fries" phase, a French holdings company owned a small percentage of Targets stock. So technically it was owned by a French company, but it is a publicly traded company, so it can be owned by anyone.

Huh, never saw that one. The only commercial I ever seem to catch is.."Get your fash on". I think I should go into marketing...I know I can do better. I hate those commercials.
So, are people being serious when they say tarjei and what not, or are they joking?

"Get your Fash-on" Is the Old Navy slogan - NOT Target's. LoL.

That's funny. Kind of goes along the line of the French WWII rifles for sale ad. The ad said, "Never fired, only dropped once."

I have always heard it was the Italian army rifles were never fired and dropped once. Also their tanks had backup lights.
I think the most sorry commercials made are those for Burger King. The series of that perverted plastic headed dude looking in a girls window or setting in her bed and all the other assinine scenes they had and now the pocket racer. Its no wonder they can't make a commercial as they can't make a decent burger either. One time this area was flooded with BK's now ther is probably one in a 60 mile radius and its amazing they even stay in business.

I was in a sears auto shop last year (getting work done, was there half the day) It is all Italian guys working in there. Not just italian, but "classic" Italiano guys, complete with full accent, additude, and the constant talk of repect/disrespect. They were just putting a Target into this particular mall. 4 people, while I was there, asked when the new tarjei was oppening. Lets just say the dialogue was very colorfull within the shop after each of these customers left!

:hilarious What a hilarious thread. It's amazing that those military jokes are still around. When I was in Iraq, we never heard about boycotting Target because they didn't support the military. We heard about Starbucks which proved to be false as well. The Sergeant who sent out that e-mail followed-up 5 months later with an apology for the misunderstanding. I like to check truthorfiction dot com because we get a lot of chain e-mails with this kind of stuff. Anyway, thanks for the laughs!
