An Open Letter from a Retail Slave
Sep. 11th, 2007 12:14 amDear Target Guest;
Thank you today for the glorious laugh I had at your expense today. Imagine my joy to discover--hidden cleverly behind the Waverly brand towels--the opened and very empty DVD case for Happy Feet. A plethora of possibilities danced before my eyes in that moment, where I tried to discern what POSSIBLE reason you would have for STEALING Happy Feet. Was it some sort of hazing ritual, where you had to steal a movie? Were you just too embarrassed to buy it yourself? Is your love for movies about Happy Penguins the Love that Dare Not Speak Its Name, and therefore your hand was forced? Are you watching it at home now, the guilt and the pleasure only heightening your senses as you watch the penguins dance?
The mind; she BOGGLES.
Cordially yours,
Nella the Red Shirt
