Highly quotable.

There's a snowman candle that has a carrot sticking out of its face for its nose.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a Christmas-decorated Target, Target Lady trains a long-haired new employee who keeps reminding everyone that he is still in training. A shopper picks up a candle and is steered through the store's holiday offerings with overshared stress habits, unwanted gift suggestions and a barrage of discount-card confusion, while the trainee wanders off the job and a nervous man in a tan blazer gets swept into the same conversation. Target Lady closes with an elaborate pitch for a snowman candle whose family of scented accessories keeps growing more specific.
