Target shopping carts
  • A limited-release insulated cup from Stanley and Starbucks caused havoc at Target stores recently.
  • Amid the frenzy, some Target workers purchased the mugs, potentially in violation of a store policy.
  • Comments on social media indicate multiple employees have fired over their purchase of the cups.

Stanley's ultra-popular, limited-release Starbucks cups sold for $49.95 when it was briefly on sale at Target, but for some employees who bought one, the real cost is turning out to be much higher.
