Target workers reportedly fired for buying popular Stanley mugs

Business Insider reports employees let go for purchasing limited-edition mugs apparently in violation of company policy

Some Target workers have been fired for using their status as employees to buy highly popular limited-edition Stanley mugs, according to Business Insider.

Earlier this year, Target sold a limited-edition pink quencher" that was a collaboration between Starbucks and Stanley. The $45 cups sold out almost immediately, causing stampedes at several stores and were resold online for hundreds of dollars. Target has since announced they are not restocking the cups.
