I have been to three Targets in my city this week and ALL the employees I encountered were smiling and seemed actually to be enjoying being at work.
My schedule did not allow me to get away from home to shop until the kids were asleep in bed (mom was home with them) so I ended up shopping after 9:00 p.m. and often was there almost until closing time. I expected to encounter tired, bored, nearly cranky people who would want me to leave them alone and to get out ASAP. I saw no one like that. The cashiers all were energetic and chatted up the items I was buying as if I was a personal acquaintance. Several stockers were cleaning up the insane messes people had made of stuff, yet paused and asked me cheerily if they could help me find something - and I had not asked them for help! Then everyone kept wishing me a Merry Christmas.
All I can say is whatever Target is putting in its water coolers, I want some!
