One week down...

So I have basically finished my first full week of working at Target. And so far, its great (granted its not like working at the Fort like the past two summers [NOTHING could ever beat that job]). I am working in the meat department and occasionally in the dairy department. It doesn't even feel like I'm at Target, it feels more like a grocery store. I am handling more meat than your mom did in the back seat of her high school boyfriend's car. The guys I work with are really great and have an awesome sense of humor, so it makes the day go by real quick. I usually start at 7:00 in the morning, which might sound bad to some, but if you think about it, its great because that means I am done with work at 3:30 in the afternoon. The other shift I would work is from 2:00 to 10:00 at night. I don't know if I'll be able to handle that one....all the real work of getting the meat out on the floor is done in the morning, so I don't know exactly what I would do at night at work. I do, however, get to find out next week, so we'll see.

In my vast experience working at Target, I have clumped the shoppers into three categories...
Category One:
The early shoppers

• Usually mothers in their thirties or forties (always have a cup of coffee from the Starbucks with them)
  
• Usually have their kids (or grandkids) with them
• Usually in a sweatsuit with matching pants and jackets (Lots of mother penguins [for anyone who knows what that is about.])
• Some soccer moms (Never have 'just out of bed hair', Make-up is always done)
• Old people (think your grandparents)
  

Category Two:
Middle of the day shoppers

• Moms who have just picked up their kids from school
  
• College kids who have just woken up from the party last night
• College kids who just got out of class
• High schoolers who are running errands for their parents
• Old people (think your grandparents)

Category Three:
Late afternoon shoppers

• People just getting out of work (great for skirt watching patrol)
  
• People needing a quick idea for dinner
• People who didn't plan ahead for dinner and need to buy one
• Husbands and wives who need to get out of the house and away from the kids
• Husbands being drug to the store by their wives
• Wives who couldn't drag their husbands away from the game on TV (and get sexily dressed up to go to grocery shopping just to spite their husbands)
• Submissive husbands who were told to go shopping
• Old people (think your grandparents)

That about wraps up the kinds of people that I have seen and met so far at work...its fun so far, and hopefully it'll continue. Now, I need to get out of these damn work clothes...they smell of meat.
