Okay, so this happened pretty much within the first month of working at Target and the complete randomness of it just really tickled me. This is one of the first stories from the very beginning. ~Savy
Another boring day. I'm beginning to wonder why they even hire seasonal this early when there is hardly any crowd. Standing around in the self-check-out to observe the customers coming and going, but well there was no one coming or going.
Lucy leans against one of the broken machines and sighs. God this shift is going to be painful, she's only an hour in and her feet already hurt from the unrelenting hard tile floor of the store. Maybe she could convince her manager to cut hours and send her home.
She looks out past the registers and a woman hesitantly heads her way. "Um. Do you work here?"
Lucy points at her glittery name tag, "Yep, do you need assistance?"
"Uh well no, but well there is an issue in the produce section." She replies.
"Oh, is there a spill? I can call it in." Lucy reaches for the walkie-talky on her belt but the woman shakes her head no.
"No. That's not it. There is an unattended child eating all the green grapes." She finally spits out.
At this point Lucy's brain is utterly confused. "There is a kid eating all of our green grapes in produce?"
"Yeah. He's maybe 6 or 7."
Lucy stands on her tip-toes and looks over the barrier separating self-check-out from the grocery area, and sure enough there was a little boy going to town eating green grapes. "Huh, okay. I will call my manager and maybe this will get less weird."
The woman walks away and Lucy keeps an eye on the child while taking her walkie-talky and calling her manager, "GSA Mira, can you come over to self-check-out? There is a situation."
"Be there in a sec!"
Mira walks over, and Lucy explains the situation and points toward the little boy, who has now moved on to strawberries. Mira looks equally stumped but goes over to the little boy and has a small conversation with him.
Mira then walks over after the boy runs off to a larger woman in the meat section that must have been his mother.
"I asked him why he was eating all the fruit and he just told me to fuck off. A little boy just told me to fuck off." She smiles and walks away stiffly.
Lucy looks at Mira in shock as she walks away. Lucy honestly can't help but to laugh at the situation. Demon Mirajane just got told off by a 7-year-old boy. God that was rich, wait until everybody hears about this.
