I gotta go to target.

[Deleted]

I don't wanna. It's prob a horrible decision right?

[pagas]

It was fine today.

[jane6672]

Godspeed.

I also need to go to old navy but I don't want to go near a mall.

Wah.

[cinco]

I went tonight and it was packed, but the lines moved quickly. They had a ton of people working. Obviously this could vary between stores.

Pillow emergency, Laz?

[sailorgray]

My H just left for the Outlets and then maybe King of Prussia mall. Poor guy :/

[Deleted]

I have some pictures ready for pickup at walmart. I sent h. Hahaha, good luck.

I'd skip the prime stopping-at-Target-on-the-way-home-from-work hours if you possibly can. I was there this morning and it wasn't bad at all, but I'd bet good money that the parking lot is a zoo right now.

I went to Barnes & Noble, the mall, and grocery shopping today, and nothing was that bad.

But maybe you can wait until later tonight?

It's almost 8 here. I'm leaving as soon as I can convince myself to put on pants.

I feel for him. I know the mall in Exton wasn't horrible but everywhere around it was. I couldn't imagine going to KOP in the next week. The stores weren't horrible but driving around was a nightmare. I wanted to go to target but saw the lot and just kept going.

We were at the Exton Mall yesterday.  It wasn't bad, but definitely crowded for the Exton Mall.  He is a brave soul as he took our two little boys alone to KOP on Saturday. I avoid that place like the plaque on Saturdays no matter what season it is. 'Tis the season!

I think you're probably good right now. Especially since it is getting late. This is probably the best time to go. What are you getting?

God love him.  You couldn't get me to KOP this week for a million dollars.

Target is only bearable early in the morning or after 8pm. You should be okay. Good luck!

I need a gag gift for a party tomorrow and something under $25 for my MIL.

[RoxMonster]

I went to Target this afternoon and, while it was busy, it was actually not horrible. I probably only spent 3 min waiting in line at the register. I feel like in the evening it'll be even better!

Now, traffic out on the roads was a whole different story....

Is he insane? Omg KOP right now sounds like the worst b

[noodleskooze]

It's all about managing your expectations. Don't expect it to go quickly, and you should be fine. I grab a coffee, shop, and settle in a checkout lane.

[bbaggins]

The mall of america was.....not good this afternoon. The lines at Old Navy were ridiculous and dumb 'ol me didn't try on the pants I bought and they are too small. Back I go tomorrow morning as soon as they open to exchange.

[cuddlyevil]

Good luck my friend. I survived, I am sure you will too.

[W.T.Faulkner]

If you go to KOP at this time in the year you clearly do not value yourself and you should probably look into that.

This is totally true! It helps a lot!


I went to target at 5pm yesterday and had a surprisingly good experience!
I Had about 10 people tell me how cute DS's glasses are and ask about them (that's a pretty normal amount but they were mostly so nice and chatty), he was a tiny bit fussy in line so 2 people let me go ahead of them, then as I was loading the car (wearing him in the wrap) a guy offered to put a big box in for me and then another guy took my cart back to the store for me!

[Deleted]

It wasn't bad!

[shell403b]

I have to go to Target also. And COSTCO.

I'm not coming back alive, amiright?

This is me as well. No way! I won't even drive near that town.

[stellas]

I went yesterday and the toy section looked like the grocery store bread display on the eve of a hurricane.

[tacokick]

I went yesterday afternoon and it was surprisingly calm. People were pleasant, a lot of stuff was restocked. No long lines. And normally this Target is awful on a random day in June.

[nonsensetomfoolery]

I went to Target yesterday, too. It wasn't terrible. I am thinking about running to Costco but am not sure of I want to push my luck.
