If you walk into Target this holiday season and feel like the employees are being extra nice . . . don’t get too excited 😏 they’re not hitting on you, it’s just company policy!
Target reportedly launched a new “10-4 rule,” where employees have to smile at anyone within 10 feet 😁 and then, once you’re within 4 feet, they’re told to greet you, ask how your day is, or check if you need help finding anything. 👋🛍️
Target says the goal is to create a “more connected” shopping experience, especially during the busy holiday rush. 🎄🎁 Because let’s be real, wandering the store three times to find someone in a red shirt who isn’t stocking shelves is the real Black Friday workout. 💪😂
Other companies like Walmart and Disney already have similar customer interaction rules . . . so this “10-4” thing isn’t totally new. But it’s definitely giving “holiday retail speed dating” vibes. 💘
So next time you lock eyes with a smiling Target employee, just remember — they’re not flirting . . . they’re following protocol. 😄
