Twas the Day Before Christmas

All right, all right, last post for today. There are so many I've wanted to do, and this is the first time in awhile that I've had time. Anyway, here's something I with some help from a few guys at work came up with yesterday during the drawn-out day of Christmas Eve.



PS- "Green" means really, really good. Target stores are either in the red, yellow, or green, and most are stuck in yellow-- only few every achieve the perfection of green by the district execs.



Twas the Day Before Christmas



Twas the day before Christmas

And all through the store

Every team member was running

As the customers demanded more



the end caps were filled with clearance galore

From aisle A1 to aisle G44

The backroom was cleaned with the utmost of care

In hopes that Christmas bonuses soon would be there



Team members rushed about it their khaki and red

While visions of going home danced in their head

A team huddle was held in the middle of the day

And each team member prayed they wouldn't be asked to stay



Then the manager apeared with a smile on her face

And informed one and all everything seemed in place

She gave them a pep talk; they seemed to be dead

Then with these words sent them back to their dread:



"Go team leads, go backroom, go price change and sales flooor.

Guest service and plano, cashiers and operator."



The teamed worked hard as the day wore on

Then noticed with delight it was almost gone

The clock struck six and the customers fled

And the team members began to smile as they nodded their heads



One final sweep and the store was clean

It was even so good as to be considered green

They ran for their cars as they sang out this song:

"Merry Christmas to all and may tomorrow be long!"
