Target Fat Sucks at its Job (surprise!) I was "helped" by a fat fuck at Target a couple of weeks ago who obviously had better things to do than have a conversation with me to troubleshoot my problem. I was looking for a copy of Battlefield 1, which was on sale for about 33% off at the time. The sale ended that night. I was courteous and reasonable. He was wider than he was tall. Me: "Hey I'm looking for BF1 for PS4 and there doesn't appear to be a copy on the shelf. I checked online earlier today, and it looked like your store had some copies in stock." Mayo: "Oh, I'm sorry about that (doesn't check the display itself or offer to verify that they're out of stock.) You should try another Target. They're at <this road> and <that road>." That was its solution. I had to ask him to double check inventory at his store, then to check inventory at the next store (so I didn't drive out of my way again for no reason). At each step of the process, he seemed poised to ooze away. I basically solved the problem myself, with his role reduced to that of a tool with access to Target's inventory databases. He awkwardly asked if he could do anything else to help me, obviously not wanting to, and I released him to whatever he was in such a hurry to waddle off and "do" next. (You know, "destroy the bathroom," or "take an extra snack break," or "hide out somewhere isolated to avoid work" [or all of the above, simultaneously]).  At the next store, there were copies both on the shelf and in a special display I hadn't noticed in the first store. It occurs to me now that the first store may not even have really been out of stock.  It wouldn't surprise me if the fat had been trying to throw me off the scent of  his truffles the video game because he wanted to pick up a copy for himself at the sale price. Or maybe even just because I'm a gamer and don't use it as an excuse for being a sloppy fat like him. Who knows? I was helped by a human in the next store and the entire transaction took less time than my stunted conversation with the mayo elemental.
