So many people had even called it impossible, and rightly so, because not a lot of Target stores have this option. Other users were in disbelief that they had this option and never knew.

This Hack Doesn't Work at Every Store

This hack has been proven to be a valuable tip, but it depends on the cashier at Starbucks and if they are free to help with the checkout process.

Some employees at Starbucks may decline to help and redirect you to the line at Target. The comment section had many people sharing their experiences at different Target branches.
