My friend Jessica is the biggest Target fan, and she'll love this policy while shopping at Target stores in Washington State. It's made big news over the last few weeks.

The little-known rule makes WA Target trips more cheerful

The rule is simple but effective: whenever a Target team member is within 10 feet of a guest, they’re encouraged to make eye contact, smile, and offer assistance.

Whether you’re looking for a specific item in the Richland Target or comparing home décor at the Northgate location, that friendly “Can I help you find something?” is part of the store’s new policy.
