Why Target Employees Near
Buffalo Help Stranded Motorists?
WISCONSIN (CoinChapter.com) — The Buffalo, NY, snowstorm of 2022 will always be remembered. A record-setting duration of 36 straight hours with 79-mile-an-hour winds took over the city. During this Christmas, empty chairs sat at tables, and decorated trees had unopened presents underneath waiting for visiting families.
In a storm that had a snowfall of 50.3 inches, thirty-one people died, and 47,000 were left without electrical power. Typically when events like this happen, people stick together. That is exactly what occurred in New York’s Erie County.
A Target store in the Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga offered respite for about 25 people. Seven employees from the retail giant offered to close their location to care for the stranded people; employees handed out blankets, drinks, and space heaters.
People were overcome with emotion to the point of tears. One woman, Jessica Sypniewski, said, “I got so emotional, I just sat down and started crying.” Ms. Sypniewski said that she tried to get help from other stores as the storm raged, but to no avail – they would not let her family stay. She added, “You never know. People could have died. I truly believe they saved lives.”
Target employees were so generous. One of them said to the stranded motorists, “Anything you need, it’s on us. Just let us scan it first.” People ate snacks and were offered a change of clothes and basic hygiene items. Some workers went as far as unwrapping a new television; they set it up for everyone to watch a Buffalo Bills NFL game.
Target Stock
Year-to-date, Target stock (NYSE: TGT) has struggled. Month after month, trading has been a grind. Forecasts are nearly split for 2023, but the edge is going to buyers. Fifteen out of twenty-six analysts from TipRanks rate the company a buy, with a high price of $215.00 per share next year. The average consensus is $176.21, which is still higher than today.
Executive Vice President Mark Schindele said in a statement regarding the extreme generosity of fellow Target employees in Cheektowaga, “Thanks to the compassion and quick thinking of the team members at our Walden Galleria store, they were able to provide shelter to those who were stranded, and also offered care, comfort and holiday cheer.”
