A Target worker moving shopping carts into a store
People on social media who say they work at Target have reported walking tens of thousands of steps a day.
  • Retail work in the age of e-commerce and curbside pickup can be surprisingly physical.
  • Whether they're picking orders or restocking shelves, workers' daily steps add up quickly.
  • Target workers say their Apple Watches and other trackers show daily step counts of 20,000 or more.

Modern retail work can be a surprisingly physical job.
