"Target Church"

Today at 6:00am I went to work - yes, on Easter! We were closed for the holiday, but in an effort to be nice our store offered to go help out another one that is far behind in their work. My store manager opened the door to us(about 20 from our store and another 15 from their's) this morning and greeted us with, "Welcome to the church of Target!" We spent the entire day pushing freight from a truck and zoning the store to planogram, we we not able to get to the tables which were in dire need of folding or the numerous carts of reshop leftover from Saturday night...it makes you realize how good you have it at your own store when you go to another that is in distress! We all firmly believed that this was not a day of helping them but it was to make us appreciate what we have...so in a way it was kind of like church (we all came out feeling better about our own stores). Even those who were there from that store ended up appreciating their own store more once we filled it up with product and got it looking better, and I know that I will never say, "Look at my __________ (insert any store area) department it's trashed!"
