Why did reddit hate Sears in the first place?

[–]E-Step 26 points27 points ago

It was a few years ago & frankly my memory is terrible, but here's a link:

Thanks. I always rely on Reddit to know whom to hate and what to be self righteous about.

I used to hate cats, started lurking Reddit a couple years ago and I just adopted a cat and named him Finn. I blame Reddit for the change of heart. And Finn is a quarter bobcat and all around fuzzy and badass.

[–]ObidiahWTFJerwalk 3 points4 points ago

Can I call dibs on reposting it and claiming it was JCPenney?

[–]rplan039 0 points1 point ago

This one makes the most sense because you could donate a custom-made shirt, but it's very unlikely that a store like Wal Mart would sell it.

[–]Castironqueen 30 points31 points ago

Having worked for Target, that's not target hardware for holding clothes.

[–]nicolerryan 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, definitely not Target.

[–]monkeys1124 1 point2 points ago

haha i came here to say "that sounds like Walmart" ... :)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This time they try different,must appreciate them.

[–]Urexiel 627 points628 points ago

Yeah, see, that's not sold at Target.

[–]mklimbach 322 points323 points ago

Correct, it definitely isn't. All Target stores use white clothing hangers with size clips on the top of the hangers.

[–][deleted] 285 points286 points ago

I love a man who knows his hangers.

[–]lolwatdahek 0 points1 point ago

that advertisement in the top right looks like something ive seen at walmart

[–]thekenzo 14 points15 points ago

Looks like a Ross.

[–]ReeuQ 23 points24 points ago

I have never seen a Ross that looked that clean.

[–]no-sweat 32 points33 points ago

[–]starphish 85 points86 points ago

Probably a christian book store.

[–]Jalisciense 3 points4 points ago

How else is this going to get to the front page?

[–]Hiyasc 4 points5 points ago*

The sign in the background says "sharing the greatness of great deals" if you can figure out the store from that.

[–]psychonavigator 4 points5 points ago

Engrish.

[–]shmishmortion 47 points48 points ago*

The large signage in the background looks an awful lot like Target signage, and I was in charge of putting that stuff up for over a year.

EDIT: Yeah, I figured that it wasn't. The signage does look familiar but that shit started to blur together as my soul was being slowly drained from my body.

[–]Yoshi_Girl 142 points143 points ago

I work at Target and the price tag and hangers are definitely not from Target. ;)

[–]Magixren 22 points23 points ago

As another Target teammember, I can confirm this. Target's are also usually carpeted in clothing and shoe areas.

[–]steve_youngblood 13 points14 points ago

As an avid Target shopper, I concur.

[–]commiewizard 28 points29 points ago

As a kmart associate, yes, we are still open for business.

[–]nfreakoss 4 points5 points ago

I'm so sorry.

[–]MrRC 1 point2 points ago

The Kmart near where I live went out of business due to a Super Target being a block away. Now the building that used to be kmart is vacant because fuck you that's why, also the kmart was shit

[–]arcooke 26 points27 points ago

Ha.. teammember. Somebody watched the orientation videos one too many times.

[–]Yoshi_Girl 16 points17 points ago

Trust me they're strict with their phases. We have to call someone browsing a "guest" and someone at the registers a "customer". If you mix it up and say, "Oh, a customer needs help in the pet food aisle" our team leaders will scold us about not calling them guests.

[–]Yoshi_Girl 12 points13 points ago

We also use phases, like GSA, GSTL, LOD, and team lead. Someone who doesn't work for the company wouldn't really know what these terms mean, so when I talk about work I just say "my supervisor" or "manager". One time I was talking to a friend on the phone during my lunch break and told them my supervisor asked me to stay later and a senior team member heard and said, "Excuse me, he's called a team leader!"

[–]Anniken78 3 points4 points ago

I work at a call center for large companies and we have to use the abbreviations (cm, om, lpc, tm, dh, sa...) perfectly or we get bitched out, it's to help keep track of who the fuck we actually talk to. Annoying as Rebecca Black covering Justin Bieber songs on loop at top volume.

[–]debaser28 8 points9 points ago

Who sits around and thinks this shit up?

[–]iateyourcake 10 points11 points ago

People who get paid to work at target, and don't want to be called managers

[–]girl_with_huge_boobs 1 point2 points ago

work at a restaurant, same shit. never a customer, always a "guest". We even get yelled at if we call the towels we use to wipe off tables "rags". wtf.

[–]mklimbach 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure we're supposed to call them guests all the time. I'm not sure where your management got that idea. (I've worked at Target 5 years now)

[–]dhaadh 1 point2 points ago

As the guy who actually took this picture, I can tell you that it's from a Reject Shop in Malaysia.

[–]mardish 24 points25 points ago

Here is a recent picture I took at my store (because I found the shirt's message ironic, actually...but this IS target!). See how many differences you can spot! http://i.imgur.com/oh3hk.jpg

[–]an_ony_mouse 12 points13 points ago

Interesting message for sure; "FREE 2 AN INDIVIDUAL"...

[–]chocolatemeowcats 37 points38 points ago

Also work at target, lights are not the same. also do not have wood floors. also do not have those hangers.

nothing about this picture is target 'brand'

[–]burgess_meredith_jr 43 points44 points ago

As a brand manager for one of their competitors, I must say the item in this picture that is most off-brand for Target is the t-shirt encouraging people to shove their fists in the vaginas/assholes of their fellow citizens.

[–]debaser28 4 points5 points ago

That's what they do to their employees all day, every day.

[–]LazyDynamite 1 point2 points ago

shudder I've been gone from there 3 years now... I forgot all about 'brand.' Thanks.

[–]azitapie 22 points23 points ago

They don't do anything in black and white anymore. It's all bright colors and nauseating laughter. And the hangers are white, the racks are silver, not brown, and none of the Target brands have tags shaped like that.

[–]cboogie 5 points6 points ago

The pic is date stamped 2010.

[–]mardish 20 points21 points ago

This hasn't changed in 4+ years.

[–]falor42 23 points24 points ago

This hasn't changed in 10+ years.

~FTFY, wore the red and khaki at the end of the 90's. Place is still the exact fucking same; and I like it that way.

[–]Aelfhere 18 points19 points ago

For the use of a semicolon in your sentence, I award you 5 points. For using the word "and" immediately after your semicolon: 10 points from Griffindor!

[–]falor42 3 points4 points ago

I generally avoid the use of "and" following a ;, but it seemed to add to the cadence. Also it is not explicitly "against the rules", to my knowledge, just bad form.

[–]Aelfhere 0 points1 point ago

I propose that you take out the semicolon and replace with a full stop.

[–]falor42 3 points4 points ago

The "and" would still be improper at the beginning of the following sentence... I think I'll just keep it; is that cool with you?

[–]snapshot_memory 3 points4 points ago

This brand is called "Petrol" (which is NOT sold at Target).

[–]ghostbackwards 3 points4 points ago

so then who thew fuck is selling it?

[–]randombitch 8 points9 points ago

"Hello, is this Who Thew Fuck? Great! I would like to order some food to go please."

[–]hipnerd 2 points3 points ago

It's a thrift store.

[–]Daemon_of_Mail 1 point2 points ago

It's either Spencer's or the gag section of a sex shop.

[–]DaminDrexil 48 points49 points ago

The_Total_Focus

This might be slightly irrelevant, but did you know your username is an anagram of "Hot Fecal Stout"?

9 fucking times has this been reposted!

[–]jeblis 19 points20 points ago*

It's not the repost so much as the blatant lying about having taken the photo or having knowledge about its origins when one does not.

[–]dhaadh 1 point2 points ago

I'm the one who actually took the picture, this was taken over an year ago in Malaysia.

[–]ThereWillBeHugs 4 points5 points ago

I'm starting to suspect that people who complain about re-posts are sock puppet accounts from the Reddit staff to encourage people to browse Reddit more frequently so they don't feel stupid for not seeing the first nine times that something is posted over the course of a year.

[–]LG03 32 points33 points ago

Or people just get tired of the lack of originality, effort, and creativeness that goes into the average reddit submission. By its very nature reddit encourages 'safe' submissions like reposts of popular topics because of the karma system. The acquisition of a meaningless and worthless currency stagnates the average submission because people just want a bigger number next to their name so they just scroll through old popular posts, slap a new title on it and hit submit.

[–]bobbybusche 4 points5 points ago

It's not even Reddit. I've seen this photo everywhere.

[–]girl_with_huge_boobs 0 points1 point ago

9 times?

[–]GoraPakora 12 points13 points ago

First reference I can find (posted Sept 15, 2010) which suggests it was in The Reject Shop in Australia (which matches the label on the picture)

http://lifeissavage.com/2010/09/15/t-shirt-fail-in-australia-pic/

[–]maramos 1 point2 points ago

The brand is petrol which is an Australian brand.

[–]loevenzaan 89 points90 points ago

now that is stretching it.

[–]s_racer2003 24 points25 points ago

They're going to be elbow deep in trouble, if they don't get those pulled soon.

[–]Not_Irish 27 points28 points ago

You'd think Target would be more anal about quality control.

[–]yroby 20 points21 points ago

They need to finger whoever was responsible for this.

[–]marla_singer 23 points24 points ago

They could just relax and let it slide.

[–]ANAL_ASSASSAN 10 points11 points ago

This isn't Target, the hangers at Target are white and the size is color-coded and marked on the hangers themselves.

[–]Catbunny 5 points6 points ago

That is an old picture and that is definitely not Target.

[–]heartgoesbang 5 points6 points ago

I can confirm, as a Ready to Wear Brand Attendant (that means I specialize in womens clothing) at target. This is not from target.

Don't you worry, Baggyballs, you can keep your faith.

I believe it is either protesting (fisting the sky) or brofisting (though it's a woman's shirt.)
