As soon as I read the title I knew what was going to happen.

I like how the Target dudes also kinda laugh in the video and just stand there watching as it all comes rolling out...

10-4, Back Door!

So that's why the one wheel never works....

Still love Target:)

This certainly made my day a lot better. It made me crack up in the middle of my university's library. Not cool.

@neko613: That's great, isn't it? It's like- you don't pay me enough to run after that truck.

I enjoyed the second wave. Just when all was settled... more carts!

Way to jump right on that situation, Target peeps!

Funny. But it's fake - a set up for the camera.

@MrsLopsided: you don't think Target has cameras on their loading docks? Of course they do.

L.O.D. to the load deck. L.O.D. to the load deck.

@neko613: What else could they do but laugh??

It had to be a swift driver.

I saw this video on Break.com the other day. It looks to me like this is the DRIVER'S fault and no one else's. Clearly, the employee with the board was trying to figure out a way to wedge it into the truck so the carts wouldn't do that, and the driver just took off without checking if he was cleared to.

I once worked for this company. We did a new store once and these carts were stacked two high! Imagine unloading those off of a trailer. I have unloaded trucks my entire working life and never had a worse time.

When did the back door become a "small detail"?

@SJActress: Wouldn't CLOSING THE DOOR have helped?

Wasn't this posted a few weeks ago?

I can verify it's real; I work in IT for Target, and that video's been making the rounds internally for about a month now. Surprised it took this long to leak. Just wait until the one from the warehouse, with the sprinkler, comes out. (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it) It's even better.

One of my friends who formerly worked for Target says this happens all the time - not with carts - but drivers quite often will drive off with people still in the trucks.

He said that with the loading dock still down its obvious the driver wasn't cleared to drive off. That one guy is just lucky he wasn't ON the truck. He would've experienced death by shopping cart.

@Oranges w/ Cheese:
It appears that he was about to unload the carts, so having the door open was needed.

I think when the one gentleman was standing there staring at the back of the truck, he was looking at the brake lights. He was smart enough not to step into a truck which may or may not be about to take off. Imagine what would have happened if he had been in the truck.

@PsychicPsycho3:
Me too, but it sure was funny!

This would explain why my online orders always get delayed. All their employees too busy reloading shopping carts into their trucks.

@MrsLopsided: Agreed. In all my years of working at supermarkets or near trailers, I can't think of any drivers who would leave w/o checking that their doors were secure/locked.

@campredeye: It's been floating around the interwebs for a couple weeks, you may have seen it somewhere else.

@campredeye: It was on the front page of Yahoo a couple of weeks ago.

As an exercise for the employees who never passed high school physics, we've set up a demonstration on inertia. You'll notice how the objects, initially at rest, tend to remain at rest.

@cmcd14: I agree, but there is a lot of info missing from this video. There is usually more info shown on screen such as the camera # and sometimes even the store number. Also, from what I have seen of most stores security cams, they record at a lower frame rate than normal as it saves a lot of storage space, and doesn't affect the quality that much.

Actually, that was a good thing for the employees not to have tried and stop the carts, and I am glad that no one was hurt. I worked for a Wal-Mart distribution center when I was in college, and we had a lift driver killed when a driver pulled out of the dock door unexpectedly. Hopefully, the driver is banned from the Target it happened at, since the driver has a big shiny red light that tells him/her that the dock door is still open.

For those of you that have never been on a loading dock, you should know you can't close the trailer doors until the truck pulls away from the dock a few feet and the driver gets out to close them. So unless this is just a good fake, it is clearly the fault of the stupid dock workers no securing the load.

Still funnny as hell though.

@neko613: yeah, it's almost like they'd rather not be on workers comp for having 600 shopping carts fall on them or something...lazy punks.

@MrsLopsided: If it's fake, then what's the point? To make people laugh for five seconds, then completely forget about it? And meanwhile you've spent all that time loading carts onto a truck and will now have to spend all that time cleaning them up? Who would do that?

@sprocket79: I think I saw it on Olbermann a couple weeks ago.

@neko613: remember, they get paid by the hour.

I guess wheel chocks aren't mandatory...

"Bombardier to pilot, weapons drop on TARGET."

@Oranges w/ Cheese:
Loading docks are designed so that you can open the door while the truck is backed up against them.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: They are Barn door style doors not rool up so the driver has to pull away from the dock to be able to close them

@Chols: A lot of the Target docks I have seen are on a downgrade towards the building, so they can't roll anywhere. Besides, IIRC, don't trailers have air brakes, which require air pressure from the truck to deactivate the brakes?

@armour: I just saw that, which begs the question: why didn't they roll out as he backed the truck up to the dock?

Two words:

Load Retainer.

When I saw this on Olbermann I figured this was two guys, bored with their minimum wage job, who figured they'd found a funny and clever way to unload a truck full of shopping carts.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: Presumably the trailer was empty, or loaded with different cargo, when backed up to the loading dock, then was loaded with cards after they offloaded the existing cargo.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: I just assumed that the truck was empty when it backed in and then they loaded the carts onto it.

on the flip side...it looks like a great way to unload carts !

This is real Walmart quality work here son, please step up your game.

@Oranges w/ Cheese: Can you Darwin award?
