User Marr, @marrcuadra, shared a single-hanger trick he uses to help workers hide several pieces of clothing at once from management.

“If you work at Target and you’re part of the style team, this is what management doesn’t want you to see,” he said in the video.

In the clip, Marr is holding a pants hanger: “So you see these? Here’s a trick. You could just get this. Just like that, you could fit two shirts right there, two shirts right there, and a shirt right there.”

He shows the hanger holding several clothes.

“Now what you do is you just put it right, right here, where management won’t see it, and you should be good.”

Many viewers were a bit confused about the reason behind the hack while others suggested that it was done for employees to “keep” specific pieces of clothing for themselves.

“Would do that and put in the clearance, they would never find out,” wrote one person. 

“I put all the clothes in clearance,” said Marr.

“I used to work there doing that, I put a lot of clothes on clearance and hid them …. just for me,” said someone else.

Others said that some employees may do this to deal with time and staffing issues at their stores.

“Target is severely understaffing their stores and still expecting everything to be done. so i think he’s just trying to be funny,” wrote a viewer. 

“Style team is the backbone fr fr,” wrote another person.
