- "Oh, you knew my brother! He worked at Wendy’s."
- ―Target Employee[src]

He made his first appearance in Speed Dating and has since become a major character in the series. He is played by Dominic Mattero.
In Scott The Woz[]
Season 4[]
In Speed Dating[]
After Scott Wozniak greets and discusses with Rex Mohs, Jerry Attricks, and Terry Lesler in New Location McGee, Lesler suggests that Wozniak should speed date if he quickly wants to find a sexual partner. Target Employee joins the conversation by saying that they should "count [him] in" for speed dating. The others are surprised by Target Employee's appearance, presumably due to him not being invited. They question who he is and he responds saying that he's Wendy's Employee brother, who had died a month prior. Wozniak suggests that they should speed date "in honor" of Wendy's Employee so that they can get "the dead on [their] side." Mohs agrees with Wozniak's idea and attempts to call Wendy's Employee, although he doesn't respond due to being dead.
After preparing Wozniak for his speed date, Target Employee (along with everyone else) practices speed dating with Wozniak. Later when Wozniak's date arrives, Target Employee, and everyone else, yells at her to leave as they haven't prepared enough yet, ending the episode.
In You're Not an RPG Guy: A Scott The Woz Christmas[]
After being brought by Terry Lesler to New Location McGee, Scott Wozniak is greeted by Target Employee, Rex Mohs, and Jerry Attricks. They inform Wozniak that they want to "fix him"; however, Wozniak states that they can't due to him already being castrated and not being "mentally broken". Lesler digresses and asks Wozniak to open a present. After opening the present, Wozniak finds that it contained a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Wozniak gets mad due to the gift and, as he's about to yell, gets attacked by Mohs, who seals his mouth with duct tape and ties him up. After taking away the duct tape, Wozniak questions why the others kidnapped him. They answer, stating that it was due to him not being a fan of role-playing games.
After the opening credits, Mohs states that, while he doesn't know what a role-playing game is, he believes that Wozniak is being "a little bitch" about them. Target Employee then asks what a role-playing game is, to which Lesler theorizes that it could be a type of gun. Wozniak asks if he can explain. Attricks, however, doesn't allow Wozniak to explain, due to them being in the United States of America. Wozniak explains anyways, due to them being in Ohio, rather than the United States.
After explaining his history with video games and the basis of role-playing games, Target Employee and the others question Wozniak's opinion, with Mohs comparing Wozniak's views to that of the Soviet politician Joseph Stalin. Wozniak then continues to list his criticisms with the genre until Jeb Jab shows up at New Location McGee due to an order of a role-playing game. Wozniak takes the game and realizes that it was a copy of Madden NFL 08 on the Xbox 360, a game which Wozniak has shown prior interest for. Due to finding out that Madden NFL 08 can be considered a role-playing game, Wozniak questions his opinions and runs into his room, where he continues to question his opinions.
After Wozniak stormed into his room, ribs arrive at New Location McGee, which were ordered by Target Employee. Mohs and Lesler are both critical of the food; however, after Target Employee informs them that he bought the "economy size", they celebrate. After the ribs arrived, Lesler orders pretzels from Stale Pretzels, which later arrives.
After Wozniak spoke to God, Target Employee and the others visit Wozniak's room, where they find him cursing at role-playing games and then throwing them onto the ground. Shortly after, Target Employee and the others leave New Location McGee.
Season 5[]
In Borderline Forever[]
Target Employee's first appearance in this episode is during the opening musical number, Stupid Nintendo Games, where he mentions that these games makes for great target practice.
He later appears during the hospital scene, where Scott has a private conversation with him, asking him how life has been for him working at Target and having a dead brother. Target Employee follows up by saying that if his brother didn't die, then he wouldn't have been able to replace him in Scott's friend group. After Scott finishes talking with Target Employee, as well as the rest of the visitors, he tries to convince Lesler and the others that there's a border affecting him. They then laugh at that idea and walk out the door, only to find that they actually do start seeing the border too.
After Scott checks out of the hospital, they all meet up at New Location McGee, to form Team F*cked. From then on, everyone starts brainstorming ideas on how to get the word out about the border. During the meeting, Target Employee considers maybe following in his late brother's footsteps and picking up a job at Wendy's. Later on, Target Employee, along with Terry Lesler, Jeb Jab, and Jerry Attricks, go around town spreading the word about the border by handing out flyers.
After that plan fails, Target Employe meets up with the rest of Team F*cked back at New Location McGee, where they all see their failed attempts making the news on TV. Not too long after the that, another news report shows the rest of Ohio being affected by the border. From there, they all decide to try and find out what's causing the border in the first place. Scott comes up with a plan to go to space, but the rest of Team F*cked, including Lesler, are not very fond of that idea. But then Scott tells everyone that they won't be able to follow their restrictive tropes if there's no world left, and tells Target Employe that there won't be a Wendy's to get fired from. Scott then starts singing a motivational song about saving the world, while assembling the Hour of Variety, which ends with Lesler simply saying "Sure", and everyone else, including Target Employe, decides to be apart of this mission as well.
Once everyone boards ship, Scott assigns everyone an important role, and Target Employe is assigned the role of "caterer". While the crew is in space, the ship gets attacked by a laser, and causes a leak in the ship. Meanwhile, Target Employee was trying to make a Baconator, but Scott points out that he ended up making a Whopper. Out of frustration, Target Employee throws the burger at the leak, causing it to be blocked. The ship that fired the laser, is then revealed to be captained by Brett Favre, and the Green Bay Packers board the ship. Scott then tells everyone that the best way to win this battle is to be the best "them" they can be. As everyone prepares for battle, Target Employee takes off his Target hat, and puts on a Wendy's hat, similar to the one that his brother wore, and he uses a spatula as his weapon of choice. To end the fight, Vince Young swoops in to defeat Favre and save Scott, Target Employee, and the others and wish them good luck.
Eventually, the crew arrives at a border-shaped object and steps inside. While investigating, Target Employee and the others, except Scott, find a printer ink cartridge on the floor and end up getting trapped by the border. The border then starts going on a speech how he's eternal life, which prompts Scott to realize that the opposite is virginity, and attack him using the games used to build the ship and his copies of Madden 08. Once the border is defeated, Lesler and the others are freed.
After Scott absorbs the border, the crew returns to Earth, and they find that everyone is safe.
In Gaming Revivals[]
Target Employee makes an appearance in this episode in which he was wearing the same Wendy's hat from Borderline Forever. Target Employee was recruited by Scott Wozniak to help run his new business, Ghosts, Ghosts and More Ghosts. When Rex Mohs explains his ability to revive the dead, Target Employee mentions that his brother, Wendy's Employee, was buried in the exact same graveyard where they were running their business. Instead of reviving Target Employee's dead brother, Mohs accidentally revives Steel Wool, someone who Target Employee has never met before.
In Mario Party 2 - Party Harder[]
During January of 2021, Scott Wozniak gets a call from Target Employee who states that he is waiting for Wozniak to arrive at his brother's funeral. Wozniak then plays Mario Party 2 with Rex Mohs and Jeb Jab to prepare for the funeral.
In The Funeral[]
WIP
Target Employee was at Wendy's Employee's funeral as the official planner/host. He is first seen greeting the gang when they arrive at The Casket Shack. When Terry Lesler asks where the vendor booths are, he says that the funeral was bought out by a sponsor. He then offers Lesler a bag of Ruffles. He is then seen talking to Scott about what he could improve about his next funeral. He then gives a eulogy honoring Wendy's Employee. He is also seen changing the music when Jeb is ranting about how bad death is.
When Scott suggests a last-minute corpse change to replace Wendy's Employee's corpse with Rex Mohs, he asks if the swapping would affect his score. He is then seen enjoying Mohs's funeral.
In The Gifts of Gaming[]
He shows up to the Secret Santa party, where he proclaims how happy he is to buy a white guy with dark hair a present. After this, Terry Lesler asks if he gets work off on the holidays, which he surprisingly responds no, despite not being at work in Target. It is later revealed that he got fired from Target, likely due to this reason.
He later gets approached by Jeb Jab, asking if he's purchased gifts with his fingers. Target Employee denies this claim, though Jeb doesn't believe him because of how his hands look. After this, Jeb reveals that he got Target Employee as his Secret Santa, where he receives a Target receipt as his present. Target Employee then reveals himself as Rex Mohs' Secret Santa, where he gifts Rex the entire county's supply of Viagra, which indirectly stopped sex for Rex Mohs, though he did this just to get Rex's autograph of his bible.
After Scott freaks out when Steel Wool shows up and goes into his room, Target Employee and Jerry Attricks try to talk to him to calm him down and reassure him that they are truly his friends, and the holidays are about spending time with the people you adore.
Target Employee then managed to get his job back at Target by telling them the true meaning of Christmas, and only got demoted to CFO.

Deaths caused by Target Employee[]
- Several Green Bay Packers: Smacked to death with a spatula.
Trivia[]
- His religion might be Target as said in Gaming Revivals.[3]
- He has made the least amount of appearances out of any member of Team F*cked, at 11 appearances. This is due to him being introduced later in the series, as well as Dominic Mattero playing his brother, Wendy's Employee prior to his introduction.
- He looks exactly the same as Wendy's Employee, meaning they could be identical twins. His cousin Police Employee also bears resemblance, most likely meaning the entire employee family is identical.
- In Borderline Forever, Gaming Revivals, and The Gifts of Gaming, Target Employee is wearing a Wendy’s hat. This could imply that he did end up getting a job at Wendy's following the events of Borderline Forever[4], despite also still working at Target as mentioned in the latter two.
- It is unknown if he currently still works at Wendy's, since as of every episode following The Gifts of Gaming, he is seen wearing the Target hat again, or no hat at all, except for the Santa hat in Merry Christmas, Data Design!.
- He says his family comes from a long line of funeral directors. Referencing to his brother Wendy's Employee and his role as a funeral planner in Homecoming. He also is the one who hosted the funeral for his brother.
- He might have been fired from his job at Target for working on Christmas Eve.
- The concept of Wendy's Employee's brother being a Target Employee could be a reference to Wendy's Employee's debut in A Very Madden 08 Christmas, in which his debut took place inside of a Target store.
- In all of his appearances, he is in a Target volunteer T-shirt.
- In Nintendo GameCube: Shaping a Generation Target Employee’s actor Dominic Mattero appears playing a Nintendo employee, there could be an unconfirmed connection since the Nintendo employee is wearing a Target shirt but not the same one as Target employee. He is also not wearing either the Wendy’s employee hat or the Target employee hat.
- Depending on the merchandise in the Pixel Empire Charity Bonanzas, Target employee’s shirt and hat will not have the Target Logo or the Wendy’s Logo. This could likely be due to issues with Pixel Empire having the rights to use said logos.
- In Merry Christmas, Data Design!, it is revealed that Target Employee is allergic to gluten. This could explain why in You're Not an RPG Guy he’s seen only wanting to order ribs from Stale Pretzels instead of pretzels.
