Great topic, thanks for doing this.How would you rank the Target vs. the non-Targets?

Stats?
Are you a URM?
How did the cashier treat given your late status?
Did you meet any future (or current) leaders of the world there?

What about your hair? How was that styled?
Is there a Starbuck's nearby? What were the other exit opps?
