The Target employee who has to rearrange the shelf (because someone will complain) is probably earning $15-$16 an hour. It’s ok to do this, take a picture, then put it back how it was.

Just me, I wouldn’t make extra work for a low paid retail employee.

But yes, it’s nice to see.

Keep politics out of the workplace.

I know the MAGAs do it, but we can do better.
