I have dreams about being stranded at Target.
Your lackkk of shame is on full display kkkabrón🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩@Javi Ruiz 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
I would love Love LOVE the chance to meet you in person and give you some holiday cheer @Javi Ruiz
@Lydia Waweru-Morgan I’m just sorry you had to see me raging out, I’m not Hallmark movie material🫣🤭
@Tone Rivera you don’t know that I’d be doing in Target if I had an opportunity… Lol
@Tone Rivera thanks 🙏
Inspiring stories. Now THIS is NEWS
I wouldn’t mind. Retail stores like Target got everything you need. 😄
My thoughts.
imagine covid-19 + snow = zombies made of snow lol
Why can you go to war at 18 but cant rent a car until 25? Socialism sucks.
Winter is an annual natural disaster not all survive. That’s what I told my fam when I moved to the tropics LOL 😉
Humble bragging in the face of the humility of humanity?
pro tip if your ever in a situation like the pit guys were where your stranded like they were. you absolutely can rent a car if your 18 or older but not yet 25. you have to pay more money then 25 year old but you absolutely can
I remember when I was younger they said you couldn’t, you also couldn’t rent a motel room unless 25+. Maybe you can in some places I don’t believe you could back then, I turned 25 in 2005.
The employees are smiling the biggest because they just got paid for 40+ hours lmao.
Walmart would’ve accused those people of loitering/trespassing and then called the police.
Yeah but the police might not have been able to even get there….
Not the Walmart in Chathams Ontario they provided everything free overnight for stranded people even big screen TV movies for kids!!
You get fired from walmart Ron for being useless didn’t ya?
I wish I was there for 40hrs too lol 🥴😂
Walking out the way I walk into the theater, pockets full of candy
This kindness is what we need more of. Paying it forward Is the best thing you can do when someone helps you
Enlace al clip: Hizo lo que 😯😯 https://youtu.be/rYjtql6tC_E
Target is the ideal place to get stuck at in a snowstorm! Glad everyone was safe!
This is real news. People helping people for no other reason than to help
Thank You 🎯 for showing kindness and compassion. It would’ve been a PR nightmare if people froze to death in your parking lot.
lol, not target but the employees
It’s blessing they were together and next somewhere separate, APTTMH 🙏🏽
If target didn’t let them in they would be really messed up. Target doesn’t deserve a huge thank you, is basic human kindness/dignity. but I’m really glad they made it to shelter in time, and what a great shelter to have to be in 🤩
Right! Like Duh Employee but do you not see the weather outside and how people are stranded ain’t nobody trying to go shopping in that weather 🤦♀🤦♀🤣🤣
Both of you missed the 🎯
Take some time to reassess your views and beliefs @Rebel Peni
This is the America I know. This is the America I love.
But what about the people in Ukraine they need our tax dollars
At least their hearts were warm
It’s cute that NY thinks they had severe white out conditions…..they have no idea what a real blizzard is like go visit the upper Midwest and experience a blizzard then will talk.
Stay safe
Global Warming can do this to you.
I’m praying for everyone your sister in Christ from Wisconsin. Let’s pray as a Nation for a safe winter season.👏🏾
The storm didn’t just sneak up…How about keeping your stupid behinds at home until it blows over 🤪
someone summoned Krampus
What happen at Target, stays at Target.
First rule of target shelter club
Good will in Texas!? 😳😳
They sell booze, and food.
Who CARES! It’s inside a target. Food, drink, etc
Why do these idiots jump in the car during severe weather warnings? Stay home folks!
The Mothership has cast its beacon upon this chosen Target (pardon the pun) for human experimentation and once it is done will expel it onto Buffalo New York or the closest flight that Southwest flies whichever is faster

Seriously?????
Lay off the drugs.
A restaurant owner who was stuck at his business saved 115 lives by going back and opening his doors.
May God bless these unassuming, compassionate lifesavers.
Fictional story
One thing missing from this story….
Why are DOLTS out traveling around in this kind of weather? WTF?
????????????????????????
I’m distraught by the lack of humanity in this Country, thanks for adding on🚮
@Tone Rivera not a lack of humanity. Glad they were safe but bad judgment is BAD JUDGMENT. Actions could have dire consequences on emergency crews and thos in real need.
EVERYONE knew this was coming. Why be out? Why? They’re lucky they are not receiving a Darwin Award posthumously because of stupid decisions….. C’mon man….
Nice ✌🏼
No issues target has great bathrooms and a starbucks
Bet Joel Olsteen wouldn’t do this.
Meanwhile, stark contrast as public figures and elected officials put their worst in display this holiday weekend
best place to be when stranded. a super market
🌈🌊🌟🌠🤍
must be nice to be white
Wonderful!!!❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
Surprised to see such a greedy company ran by corporate rats do something so generous.
❤️❤️
https://youtu.be/CVQ6wXp0mq0🙏🏻🙏🏻
TARGET really is an amazing place!! I worked there for a few years and they’re even amazing to their employees. My FT Job was w/a non-profit and 🎯 held my position for a month while I was deployed for Hurricane Harvey disaster relief.
Why are they going to target in storm
I thought everyone in the thumbnail were siblings 😐
Target is really not a bad place to get stuck
Kevin Wang says all Americans should learn Mandarin Chinese because China is a great country.
I’d be the first person to have a cot and sleeping bag set up in the camping isle.
At least they had each other and food unlike others who have no protection against the weather.
Why did these idiots travel? Some people don’t respect weather
Good hearts, wonderful to see.
How did they go to target
I love these stories only because they give us hope at a time when it’s easy to lose it. Hoping that 2023 is far better than the one we leave behind. Happy new year to all that are reading this message.🎉
Happy New Year to you, too!🖤🖤🖤
I wouldn’t mind being stuck at target
Trapped in a target for almost two days. That doesn’t seem like the worst case
Some stories don’t make sense!
Free mutton for settlers
In Chatham, Ontario, Canada, the storm hit like a hammer. Many roads were closed. Travelers and locals were stranded in the Walmart and Real Canadian Superstore (same big complex) for more than 24 hours. Walmart staff brought out air-mattresses and blankets, bottled water and other drinks, and BBQ chicken wings and other cooked foods from the deli (all provided free). Staff set up a big-screen TV and played movies for the kids. Staffers even watched over sleeping people all night to be safe. No looting or anything. People were all understandably upset and frustrated but dealt with it. No screaming or fighting or anything.
I remember watching her tik Tok live on that day. Glad they all made it out safe 🙏
This reminds of that show of an episode from superstore.
Walmart would leave you OUT & refuse to answer their phones.
Prayer’s for you all 🙏
Target is a good place for shelter. It have everything you need but no showers or bath at the place.
Im sure you can go without a shower or a bath for a bit. Better than freezing to death.
What a dream in Target seeking shelter having a blast god bless everyone nd all the people that genuinely helped
The government will care if you throw them money. 🪶😂
God BLESS…We definitely receive exactly what WE GIVE OUT. I’ve found through my many years on earth 🌎 WE JUST can’t OUTGIVE GOD. 😊❤🙏🏽🕊
Hundreds of people stranded in a target during a winters storm? Sounds like the plot of The Mist😮
Let them freeze
Keep on being nice , we watching made me a little teary eyed
See!! You guys!! This. THIS! is what America is! Not the school shootings, not the too big food portions, not the weird entitlement. THIS! Helping fellow humans in times of need because it’s the right thing to do.
I’m so jealous
Morons. Should not have been out.
i mean there is food and water in that joint, coats and blankets too
what is it about not driving did these people not understand?
This is dope. Would love to get stuck at a target. There’s usually a Starbucks in their too. Chairs. Clothing.
Well after all the nasty comments from people in Buffalo about where I live in Manhattan we didn’t get anything it’s bone dry here I’m just fine. I really don’t care about Buffalo.
Wow I would love to spend 40 hrs in a Target. My fave store. Lol
Only stupid people go outside during the storms
Tiktok is chinese spyware
Weren’t they expecting this? I thought they can predict storms, blizzards etc. Surely you wouldn’t go out with bad conditions expected?
did she contact NBC to have this on the news so that she can self promote her stupid tik tok videos ?
…making tik tok videos…..aaaand, I’m out!
WTF ARE THEY IN WAL MART on CHRISTMAS.THEY Are late SHOPPING
If you’re going to be stranded somewhere, Target and Walmart are the places to be. 🤭
This is a memory picture of the children and people who were angry because of the pandemic and now, or calmed down, I was breaking their jaws and I thought they were more agitated, or still recovered and agitated as they were
“What we need most in order to make progress is to be silent before this great GOD with our appetite & with our tongue, for the language he best hears is silent love”
– Saint John of the Cross
I know they was eating good and had major entertainment while in Target 😂
American news style is so dramatic, from the narrator’s loud voice to the sentence used. Are they still stuck in the 80s?
“Superstore” anyone?
Not gonna lie I kind of want to stay at a target overnight
Stranded in Target? Beats being stranded in Walmart. For sure.
Bidens open border program, looting and homeless coast to coast.

They must have missed the memo about the SNOWSTORM APPROACHING!! Brilliant!
Tbh I don’t get the mentality of people from USA regarding this. That storm didn’t hit suddenly. Why didn’t shops, jobs, roads close in advance? What the heck is wrong with you?! Why in such snowstorm, do you insist on traveling and going to work?! Like-i get you wish to be home for christmas-but this was extreme situation and each loving family member would understand and wish you to be safe. The worst thing about this is that such snowstorm hit in 20th century, I saw documentary about it few years ago. Back then people were caught off guard because of lack of warning. But this year people had the warning! And the result was no better!
I bet their bank account is empty now.
You can break the bank at Target.
