Give me my cold, dispassionate, unengaged store worker please. I don't need to be asked how my day is.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

He's at the hospital for an MRI tomorrow. We're hoping it's something we can help him with. Fingers crossed.
Along with everything else going on one of our cats, Badger, developed rear leg walking issues in May. Initally he was isolated and recovered, but started again in June. Since then we've tried different drugs but it persists.
