Who is Alex from Target?

You might have heard about (or seen) a certain Target employee that you never thought would enter your life: Alex from Target. Twitter user@auscalum posted a photo of him with the simple caption YOOOOOOOO on Nov. 2 at 12:05 p.m., and things went completely, stupidly bizarre from there. Why? Because the internet. Because Alex is an averagely good looking teenage boy. Because Twitter is full of averagely good looking teenage boy loving girls. For a lot of reasons, but mostly, I'm ok with it. Why? Because we now have #AlexfromTarget memes, and this is something I am very ok with. Is this all very weird? Yes. Am I still very ok with it? yes again. We've all had that local barista, cashier or waiter that we went googly eyes over and chatted about with our friends every time we hit the store, so why shouldn't every #AlexfromTarget in our lives get some recognition? Check out the first pic (THE pic) of Alex, and then 9 of my favorite memes created in this bizarre tornado of weirdness that has hit Twitter.
