How America's Largest Retailers Know More About Your Family Than You Do

This is a true story: A man walks into a Target store and asks to see the manager. The manager asks if he can help and the man produces an advertisement that his daughter had received in the mail at their home. It was for diapers, wet wipes, strollers and other baby gear.

"My daughter is only 16," the man said, "Why are you sending this stuff?"

The manager apologized profusely and offered a vague explanation. The man nodded and left. A few days later, the manager, who was bothered by the entire situation, called the man to once again offer apologies.

"Well, it appears that I complained too soon," the man said. "Evidently there are some things going on in my house that I wasn't fully aware of. My daughter is due in May. So I guess my only question is how you knew before I did?" -By Andy Obermueller May 2, 2013/Shared by Mary
