Trip to Target

Yesterday, I went on a trip to Target with Shanna to buy some stuff, I don't remember what. But while I was there, I made some observations that I have thought about quite a bit since then.

Observation 1.
Target carries golf equipment. All sorts of stuff. Putters, drivers, towels, bags, etc. Target carries frisbee equipment. Mainly just frisbees. However, Target does not carry frisbee golf equipment. This is in my opinion a major oversight on their behalf. It's kind of like carrying black cookies, and carrying white frosting, but not carrying oreos. Kind of like that.... So holiday shoppers, if you're looking to give the gift of a 175 gram driver disk to that special someone this Christmas, you won't find it at Target.

Observation 2.
Whoever has the job of building miniature tents to put on display at stores has it going on! Can you imagine your boss coming in to you and saying, "Hey Jack, we're going to need this tent, but about 20 times smaller." He spends all day sewing mini tents. He probably burns the midnight oil sewing extras that he can sell on the side to the Borrowers and other holiday shoppers looking for the Barbie Let's Camp collection that just sold out. Now I've realized that these miniature models have run over to sleeping bags as well. Seriously, I'll bet they could sell them for Barbie...

Observation 3.
For some reason, people take their kids Christmas shopping with them. Not only does it spoil the surprise of Christmas Day, but it clogs the aisles with those extra long look like a race car style shopping carts. A single one of those can block the entire aisle. Then you have kids hanging out the sides, grabbing toys, and causing trouble. You can always tell that the parents are fed up with it all.

Observation 4.
I really want a large hi-def flat screen tv with a blu-ray dvd player. Movies are really cool looking on those. It's like real people inside of your tv.
