The Elephant In The Room

Target is nothing if not strategic.  At every turn, down every aisle, there is something you didn't remember you needed.  And if you suddenly remember you need a new garlic grinder, but you have no idea where to start, look for the red and khaki.  This is the uniform of the gods.  Target employees are like tiny little angels guiding you toward more and more things to make you happy you grabbed a cart instead of a basket.

Imagine my surprise, then, when someone broke the ranks in the 10 items or less line.  It is clear in the picture below that this worker is one of two things: 1) A defiant "damn the man" employee who will where a hue of the uniform, but not the true red.   or  2) A bored "guest" who figured she had 10 minutes to spare, and it couldn't hurt to sharpen those skills she gained at the Woolworth's in '56 behind the register.
