Today Target stores across America learned a few things. One: Ladies love, crave, will hoard, discounted Lilly Pulitzer. Two: Crazy things happen when you line up droves of sleep-deprived women and dangle pink pineapples in front of their face.

Here, a small taste of what one shopper described best in hashtag #whatamess.
