Part 3/9:
The host criticizes Target not merely for layoffs—roughly 1,800 employees in Minneapolis, which he dismissively refers to as "the Islamic Republic of Minneapolis"—but for implementing policies intended to foster "superior customer service." Specifically, he mocks Target's "104 program," which requires employees to make eye contact, smile, and greet customers within certain proximity thresholds. The tone implies that these policies are absurd, further blaming them for alienating customers and employees alike.
