On 20 July 2005, Chris felt it'd be a great idea to head down to his local Target mall store, located in Charlottesville, Virginia,[1] and continue his Love Quest there. After being told to leave because he was loitering and disturbing customers, Chris fought back and was eventually restrained, handcuffed at his wrists and ankles, and even worse, cuffed to a wheelchair like a slow-in-the-mind. Chris was charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct in the aftermath of the incident, though the state ultimately decided against taking the case to trial.[2][3]
In Chris's own words
Chris described the incident in an entry to CWC's Diary.
| "July 20, 2005: … I was at the new Target store, just hanging around, not bothering anyone. And, from out of the blue, these two Manajerks asked me to leave, because they said that I was loitering; I was NOT! I was there hoping to find an 18-23-year old, Boyfriend-Free girl, like I usually do.
Then, from out of the blue, after I told them off, they came back with two Jerkops! I was slightly intimidated, but mostly annoyed and ready to strike back on them. They asked me to leave, and never return. I did not want to leave. I would have left peacefully, in fact, I was ready to go, but I had a prepared speech to say to them stupid Jerkops. And, during the middle of my speech, they chased me, pulled my pants, and pinned me to the floor. Five Jerkops dog-piled on me as I struggled to get free.

In Chris's comics
The incident distressed Chris so greatly that he adapted it into Sub-Episodes 7 and 8 of Sonichu #4, entitled "Off-Target." "Cleverly" renaming Target as "the Get-Tar Region" (which causes many newstarters to the series to think Chris is talking about the guitar retail chain Guitar Center), the story seems surprisingly faithful to what really happened that day, at least until the sword-fight and the part where his imaginary twin sister saves him from a Transformer.
What's interesting to note about the story is how Chris betrays himself in his attempt to whitewash the story to make himself the hero. At the beginning of "Off-Target," he all but admits that he plans to use the new locale to sit around all day, using The Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail to fill the singularity inside his gut with its soda, drawing his shit comics, and waiting for teetotaling Aryan supermodels to show up and bear his children.

Recent years
Chris evidently started shopping at Target again an indeterminate amount of time after the incident, either through the store employees agreeing to drop the ban, or just forgetting about it.
In August 2009, Chris was goaded by Kacey to consider applying for jobs around his area, and settled on Target as his choice. Chris initially stated he received an e-mail rejecting his application, allegedly because "they got enough people as it is right now."[4] However, things seemed to work out the next month, as he managed to snag a job interview at the store. Following that, Chris failed to get a hold of his interviewer and allegedly received another rejection e-mail,[5] eventually conceding that he wasn't hired. This would be the final time that Chris ever attempted applying for a job. It's unknown if this was the result of the management not wanting to hire him based off the previous incidents (if this was the same location), a particularly poor showing at the interview, or knowing Chris, some combination of the two.
Chris visited Target on 16 November 2014, as part of his Sonic Boom Protests, where he apparently planned to vandalize any Sonic Boom-related stock that they had. However, he found out that they kept copies of the games in a locked case and, clearly forgetting any lessons learned nine years prior, settled for raging at a couple of employees over the store's decision to stock the games.
Chris was photographed at a Newport News Target in April 2019 by a fan.[6] The photo shows a prominent bald spot on the back of Chris's head. His mental state also seemed to be in decline based on the fan's account:
| “ | I walked back by him again as he was in line at the food avenue to get the shitty Pizza Hut pasta and he was just muttering really loudly. Couldn’t make out what he was saying... I kept looking around hoping to see him shopping around but never saw him again... | ” |
